the twin cities were the absolute worst choice for the RNC i can imagine. aside from maybe San Francisco, NYC, and Boston, MPLS/St. Paul is one of the bluest metropolitan areas in the country, and where dissidents are actually organized and active.
this is partially inaccurate. several of those clips were taken from isolated events on different days, even though the spoken narrative seems to detail the last day. thus there is a disconnect between what is shown and what is told.
The Bush/Cheney administration trashed the Bill of Rights that used to protect everyone from illegal police action. However, we are no longer a democracy. We are a military/industrial dictatorship run by the wealthy elite. This dictatorship now uses private security, the military, and the police to control citizens who speak out against them. We are no longer a democratic and free country, as this video clearly shows. Anyone who considers these political protestors "dangerous" is a pussy.
It's so immature. Painting the Dems with propagandist slogan slurs. It is like domestic spending is socialist stuff, and privatization and pro corporate unaccountability is patriot stuff.
i saw no evidence of a police state. i did see protestors leaving their designated protest are and refusing to return the way they came. i see your peoblem. like most liberals. you think the far left has special rights. i doubt you were ever a republican.
Special rights? Like freedom of speech and assembly? Sure, I was a republican when I was in the Military and it wasn't cool to be a Democrat. Used to listen to Rush, Hannity, & even Beck before he got on TV. But that was Pre-2004.. Now I don't believe talking heads, I research and look at what both sides are saying to come to my own conclusion. Turns out that more often than not, the left is telling the truth and the Right is hoping that I am not looking in to what they are saying.
i spent 35 years in the military. i doubt you spent anytime defending our nation. i research and look at both sides and find the socialist/obama wanting. the left is willing to say anything thing to sway the electorate. truth is a foriegn concept to the ultra socialist left.
Of course you doubt my service, because the first thing tools like yourself do when presented with a veteran that has an opinion different than yours is to question their military service. You support the troops that think like you do, that is not what America was founded upon. You are no patriot, because patriotism is more than just a 1 party system. And you don't research much either because you would realize that nobody is calling for a socialist state. Pull your head out!
Yeah, the agenda is called "DEMOCRACY." What it means is that when the truth outs, and the people see what your disgusting monsters of fascism are doing to OUR country, then your beloved CrashMaverick McSame and Pigcunt Palin will be looking for work. Like many of the rest of us.
I've taken many courses in composition, thank you very much, and scored very high marks in all of them. I've even had my professors list my poems on the final exam for the other students to explicate. I've never had anything but kind compliments on my writing skills. Furthermore, I think if you'll go back and read my original comment OUT LOUD, you'll find that it makes perfect sense. I'm sorry that I don't write in treasonous soundbites. I know that's all you republinazis understand anymore.
geargemartin- Another Republican that thinks anything left of batshit crazy right is "socialist". Newsflash the Republican party just caused us to socialize the banks, so how do you square that with your argument against anything social?
as a true repblican i opposed the bailout. hover was correct in his decision to allow the market to work itself out. Roosevelt's policies failed in bringing america out of the depression. if the democrats in 2004 and 2005 had allowed the republicans to increase regulation of fannie may and freddy mack we wouldn't be in the turmoil we find ourselves in today.
You're full of it, Gearge! It was the republican congress who did all of the deregulation. You can't blame this shit on the democrats. This whole mess is a REPUBLICAN invention, down from Georgie the Clueless to the bootlicking fucks in the House who impeached Bill for getting his lance cleaned.
Check your history you revisionist fool!! Republicans were in charge of the committee (11 Repub vs. 9 Dem) that the The Federal Enterprise Regulatory Reform Act of 2005 Died in. They could have moved it to the floor for a vote, but they did not. It died at the end of the 109th congress. Now open your highly uninformed mouth and insert your foot!!!
you need to check your history bone head. the bill was created in the senate co-sponsored by mccain and was blocked by the democrats lead by barney frank, chris dodd and chris rains and supoorted by obama. now open your illinformed mouth and insert d...
Hey dumbass, the Democrats didn't get into power till 2007, the 110th congress. This bill was already dead at the end of the 109th congress. You dig your hole of ignorance even deeper by claiming that Barney Frank and Chris Rains were involved (Newsflash, they didn't serve on Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs in the 109th OR 110th Congress. You really ought to learn how to do honest research and quit being such a obviously useful idiot.
hey moron! unless a party has a super majority the minority party can block anything. you dig you hole of idiocy with every comment. you should learn to research your information before you make such a fool of yourself. hey! here's an idea learn to google.
You stupid, stupid person. So you are claiming the bill was filibustered, when it didn't even reach the floor? Explain to us just exactly how that would happen? Again, because you are slow.. IT DIED IN COMMITTEE! Bill Frist (R), Senate Majority leader, did not allow a vote on the bill after it was ordered to be reported by the committee. The Speaker of the House, Denny Hastert (R) at the time, and the Majority Leader decide what will reach the floor and when. Please learn how our govt works.
i'm tired of you. your so full of shit. look to your inbox i'm sending a video. with your biased opinion you'll think it's propaganda but nontheless i'm sending it anyway.
It was propaganda.. A video of the committee debating the bill before it finally was "ordered to be reported" by that same committee proves nothing. The fact of the matter remains, it was ready to be voted upon but wasn't put on the calendar by the Majority leader Bill Frist (R). Tell me how I am full of shit? Go to the library of congress and look at the history of the bill yourself, I sent you a link in a PM as well as a link to how a bill becomes law (you really need to look that over).
I hope my PM taught you not to believe everything you watch on youtube. When discussing matters of congress, instead of believing a youtube video as gospel truth, check with the library of congress.
No, actually they were elected in the end of 2006 and took office in 2007. Just like Obama will be elected president in 2008 but won't take office till 2009.
A real easy way to verify this is to do a search on the 109th or 110th congress. The 109th Ended on January 3, 2007 & the 110th started the next day.
Well, if I WERE a socialist, then I probably would take your advice. I'm a Jefferson Democrat instead. That's why I think Obama will make one of our finest presidents in history. I think that even my icon, Jefferson, would have loved to have Obama over for dinner and politics, and would have wound up aggreeing with Barack on many things.
I oppose your beloved Georgie on EXACTLY the grounds that he is a socialist at heart. CrashMaverick McSame is crazy, Pigcunt Palin is a brainless nazi.
cloanlbabs: 1- i guess you are too lazy to find out for yourself the veracity of my comment. instead you put your fingers in your ears and say LA LA LA until you can drown out the truth. even bill clinton said the biggest mistake the democrats did was blocking the republican efforts to bring greater regulation to fannie mae and freddy mac. 2- clinton was impeached for lying under oath not for "getting his lance cleaned". jeffersonian democrat=andrew jackson democrat. nothing to boast about.
andrew jackson coined the term jeffersonian democrat. and your right jackson was our most evil president but as Jeffersonian democrat you obviously agree with his politics.
I fucking hate everything about Andy Jackson and I HATE his politics. I think Andy Jackson is someone who Jefferson would have gotten uncharacteristically publically angry at. Just because Andy Jackson said something doesn't make it true, and everything I know about him screams "Republican." I have no clue how he considered himself a democrat or ever succeeded in any election bid. Everything I've ever heard or read about the man paints the picture of a VERY unsavory character. Fuck him in hell.
For the most part, I do tend to side with Dem on most issues. However, if I were to be honest about I would probably be better labled a Paleocon, perhaps similar to Pat Buchanan. My father was a repub and we squabbled all the time. I agree with core paleocon values such as limited gov, fiscal responsibility, and individual liberty. But those are the values I love from Jefferson. I consider myself a Jeffersonian, not because I love the current party, but because of Jefferson's ideals. Fuck andy.
Really Gearge? The veracity?? You mean the inaccuracy.. S. 190 [109th]: Federal Housing Enterprise Regulatory Reform Act of 2005.. Look it up and read where and how it died. The point you are trying to make is invalid, it was in fact Republicans who allowed this bill to die.
i looked it up and every reference describes how the democrats blocked the bill from being voted on, google it. to point i made was valid and unlike yours, truthful. the truth is the democrats kept the bill from going forward despite warnings from mccain and others.
Name them, because I am sure you will name a bunch of right wing blogs instead of impartial agencies like govtrack(.)us.
Furthurmore, how could the democrats have blocked it when it died in a Republican led committee? Google the "members of the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs 109th congress". Look at the Republican majority, then STFU you stinking revisionist fool!
the twin cities were the absolute worst choice for the RNC i can imagine. aside from maybe San Francisco, NYC, and Boston, MPLS/St. Paul is one of the bluest metropolitan areas in the country, and where dissidents are actually organized and active.
