  • To see what you will get from Alex Sink...

    Just Google "alex sink detroit" and watch video before you vote!

  • very different than the reconciliation process you numbnuts

  • Bush Lied, people Died __ Economy Fried !

    Afghan. invasion was not necessary ; Over- reaction - to the fact that Bush/Cheney/Condi Rumsfeld were [AT LEAST] asleep at the wheel, on 9/11, 50 + ignored, credible and specific warnings ! Crusadin .. was more impotent, than talking about, who was responsible.

    -

  • 2006, Senate report actually found that Bush made some statements that were not substantiated by intelligence -- or were "contradicted" by intelligence. .. and that Bush's statements indicating Saddam was prepared to give WMD to terrorists were "contradicted by available intelligence." LIED !

    -

    Net affect used the Iraq War to get re-selected; failure to get bin Laden, obscuration.

    -

  • Add in Iraq and Bushs - Emergency Economic Stabilization Act and Troubled Asset Relief Program of 2008 = about 8 Trillion dollar one president

    -greater DEBT than all other- previous president PUT TOGETHER;

    bringing the debt to about 10-12 T$ when he left office.

    -

    Obama has allocated approx. 700 B$ - to help small businesses and create jobs.

    -

    No matter how much they slam the Dems. and Obama admin. the fact checkers disprove their LIES; that probably helped the HealthCare PASS !

  • Reconciliation is not the Nuclear Option!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • ' We need to pass the health care bill so that you can find. Added to.'

  • The people who put this video together are pretending that "reconciliation" and "the nuclear option" are the same thing. It's a common Republican talking point, but it's a complete lie. What the Democrats are talking about in this video is the complete abolition of the filibuster. That's the "nuclear option". Using reconciliation for particular bills is NOT the same thing, and it's NOT what the Democrats were talking about. In short, this video is a complete lie.

  • Dems. have always taken the moral high ground ...

    not falsely claimed it as the - Thieves and DECIEVERS

    Dems. - clean air, water, safe food, and medicine, fair wages, equal pay, safe work places, Social Security, Medicare, etc.

    .. and fought tooth and nail by the Republican, Libertarians and corporate/family Elitists

    as they destroyed labor, exported jobs, deregulated the crooks, ignored and helped monopolies, tax cut for the top, logarithmically increased the debt - and their PROFITS.

  • LMAO! Even though you can't speak in complete sentences, you can still be humorous. The Dems have ALWAYS taken the "moral" high-ground is all in the definitions of "moral" and "high". Just like the what the definition of "is" is. We can see the type of moral high ground in the likes of Rep. Massa, Charlie Wrangle, Bill Clinton, John Edwards, etc, etc.

  • and fought tooth and nail by the Republican, Libertarians and corporate/family Elitists

    as they destroyed labor, exported jobs, deregulated the crooks, ignored and helped monopolies, tax cut for the top, logarithmically increased the debt - and their PROFITS.

  • In case you didn't notice, you already said that. Saying it over and over and over doesn't make it true, but, "If you tell a lie long enough, loud enough, and often enough, the people will believe it." Or in this case, maybe just you.

  • Just continuing the discussion that you keep cowing away from :

    Republican, Libertarians and corporate/family Elitists; have created today's economic/social problems of America.

    And Democrats have morally - legislated 'for the betterment' of the majority.

    And do not run around saying we are more moral than you MF-er's.

  • Wow, "you MF-er's." First of all, you don't know what "I" am. Second of all, if you believe that any one party has had the "moral high ground," I'd have to say you were high and definitely didn't have your feet on the ground. "the betterment" of the majority is all a matter of opinion.

  • NintendoVampire - "you MF-er's."

    'do not run around saying 'we are more moral' than you MF-er's. '

    fact - something known to exist or to have happened

    Dems. - clean air, water, safe food, and medicine, fair wages, equal pay, safe work places, Social Security, Medicare, etc.

    Still cowering from the discussion .... with ad hominems.

  • Amazing. If you read through my posts I never claimed that ANYONE had any moral high ground. NO ONE in government has any moral high ground, and to think that anyone does is very naive.

    To think that the "dems" have given us clean air, water, safe food and medicine, 'fair' wages, 'equal' pay, safe work places, Social Security (almost bankrupt), Medicare (filled with waste, fraud and abuse by their own definition) means that you will continue to think that ONLY the governemnt can provide those.

  • Moral - of, pertaining to, or concerned with the principles or rules of right conduct or the distinction between right and wrong

    Dems. - clean air, water, safe food, and medicine, fair wages, equal pay, safe work places, Social Security, Medicare, etc.

    and fought by the Republican, Libertarians and corporate/family Elitists - as they destroyed labor, exported jobs, deregulated the crooks, ignored and helped monopolies, tax cut for the top, logarithmically increased the debt - and their PROFITS

  • Here we go with the broken record again. You need to do a little fact checking. Let's take SS and medicare since you keep bringing it up.

    The SS Act of 1935 had bipartisan support. 84% of house Repubs and 76% of Senate Repubs voted FOR the bill. It sure sounds like the Dems had all the moral high ground there.

    As for Medicare, in 1965 when it was passed, the Dems had 68 seats in the Senate, and they still couldn't get 60 votes. If it wasn't for the Repubs, it wouldn't have gone to cloture.

  • The vote for Medicare had bipartisan support as well. 50% of House Repubs and 43% of Senate Repubs voted FOR the bill. Without the Senate Repubs, we wouldn't have had Medicare in 1965.

    I know that you have strong feelings about the left's talking points, but you really need to check your facts before spouting out your anti-conservative rhetoric. This doesn't sound to me like Repubs were fighting either of those bills.

  • NintendoVampire -

    I doubt your honesty here ... 'no reference' and history of conflating issues - i.e. this video and discussion ! And did not give the % for Dems.

    Does not negate my 'original' statement :

    Dems. 'have always taken the moral high ground' ...

    not falsely claimed it as the - 'Thieves and DECIEVERS'

    facts, not talking points.

    and will add - What 'socially beneficial program for the majority' of individuals has the Repub. initiated on there own ?

  • As far as facts go, I've given you nothing but facts. Facts about who gave Obama money, facts about who voted for the SS Act and Medicare act. If you can't handle the facts that is your own fault. As far as a "socially beneficial program for the majority' is concerned, that depends on how you define beneficial. If your definition of beneficial is the government forcibly taking what some have worked for to give it to those who haven't, I wouldn't call that beneficial at all.

  • As far as the percentage of repubs and dems you don't have to take my word for it. There is this wonderful resource called the internet where people can do more than just rant and rave with incoherent posts. The votes cast for legislation can easily be seen on government sights. Check it out sometime.

  • NintendoVampire -'socially beneficial program for the majority'

    Dems. - clean air, water, safe food, and medicine, fair wages, equal pay, safe work places, Social Security, Medicare, etc.

    and fought by the Republican, Libertarians and corporate/family Elitists - as they destroyed labor, exported jobs, deregulated the crooks, ignored and helped monopolies, tax cut for the top, logarithmically increased the debt - and their PROFITS

    "Socially beneficial program' from the Repub.'s ??

  • You are either disingenuous or you can't read. But your cut and paste buttons do work really well.

  • Tell us what the Democrates said that was cut out.

  • NintendoVampir

    "Socially beneficial program' from the Repub.'s ??

  • Let me try again to explain this in a way that you will understand. YOUR definition of "socially beneficial program" is not the same as MY idea of "socially beneficial program." No matter how I answer that question you will just say, "That doesn't benefit the majority of people," because your idea of "socially beneficial" is wrong. You think that a political party isn't doing its job unless they are passing "socially beneficial programs."

  • Since your prejudice has blinded you from doing actual research, I guess I'll do it for you, not that it matter. You've made up your mind.

  • I still don't see your point. You came on here swinging, saying the Repubs ALWAYS FOUGHT clean water, food, drugs, SS, medicare, blah, blah, blah. You said the Dems ALWAYS have the moral high ground. I made no claims of anything, but gave you facts. If you can't handle that, there is no hope for you. I just think people like you are stupid, because you only see ONE party, hold up ONE party, condemn the other. I condemned no ONE party. I'm an independent conservative. Always will be.

  • Social programs do not a great party make. Many of the social programs were passed during FDR and LBJ's terms in office. But NOT ALL. A LOT OF THEM WERE STARTED AT DIFFERENT TIMES BY BOTH PARTIES.

    I am critical of BOTH PARTIES. Most politicians need to be removed from office and people who will respect the Constitution need to be put in.

    Where in the Constitution does it give the Federal Government ANY power to create social programs? Those powers were given to the STATES AND THE PEOPLE.

  • NintendoVampire - I made no claims of anything

    NintendoVampire - NO ONE in government has any moral high ground

    .. failed attempt at obscuring it, with 50-100 year old incidents.

    Only condemn their failings, factually.

    Which you are still cowering from discussing.

    ... by the Republican, Libertarians and corporate/family Elitists.

    As they destroyed labor, exported jobs, deregulated, ignored and helped monopolies, tax cut for the top, logarithmically increased the debt - and their PROFITS.

  • Again, I made no claims of anything, but gave you facts. You never precondition your question with what have the Repubs done in the most recent 49 years. Not only that, you sight legislation that was passed in 1935, 65 years ago. If legislation was passed in 1906, that doesn't negate the fact that it was passed.

    And again, where in the Constitution does it give the Federal Government ANY power to create social programs?

  • You can not accept anything contradictory to your opinions. Only incoherent to your philosophy, so you cower away.

    ...

  • I didn't think you could answer my question.

  • Where in the constitution did it give Teddy Roosevelt the right to regulate food,

    water, drugs etc. ?

    Safe Food and Medicine: Pure Food and Drugs Act, 1906, under Theodore Roosevelt, Repub.

    Establish Federal Parks ?

  • NintendoVampir - 'didn't think ' -

    Whuuut ! I did !

    Didn't you find, -regulate food, water, drugs clause; it is right nest to the -National Park-, clause ??

    You seem to be pushing the dumbed down theory, that if it is not in the 'Dec. of Ind.', 'Bill of Rights' or easily read without -really reading- the 'Constitution or understanding it, it is not allowed

  • 10th Amendment: "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." NOT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. The Fed can only use the power DELEGATED to it. Yep, I guess that's MY theory.

    "To read the constitution is to dumb yourself down. ALL POWER BELONGS TO THE MORAL DEM PARTY, not the LOSER REPUB PARTY." Get a life hackit, one that doesn't consist of being a hack for big government.

  • I never claimed that Repubs starting social programs was RIGHT or MORAL. I was answering your question, "Socially beneficial program' from the Repub.'s ??"

    For some reason you are conflating legislation and morality. You are also confusing my disdain for politicians as support for a party. I support the Constitution of the US and personal liberty. For the government to say (ANY PARTY) that I have to give of what I have and earn because THEY want more power dishing out money is NOT MORAL.

  • NintendoVampire -'confusing my disdain for politicians as support for a party.'-

    Yet you offer - this extremely disingenuous video - mis-representing the filibuster as the 'nuclear option'. Your disdain is - so great you feel it necessary to deceive people over the nuclear option not proposed; when the fact is, that only the Repub. Have EVER attempted to circumvent it that way.

    Which will only benefit the Republicans if any !

  • NintendoVampire -'For some reason you are conflating legislation and morality'-

    No, I only made a general statement of fact that - Democrats have always taken the moral high ground, for the majority.

    You seem to favor the non-legislation of the Republicans - or corporate favoritism. And you are cowering from the morality of it, because what you favor is less beneficial for the majority. . the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness." -John Kenneth Galbraith

  • NintendoVampire -'ALL POWER BELONGS TO THE MORAL DEM PARTY, not the LOSER REPUB PARTY'-

    If they better represent the interests if the 'majority', yes ! As they have.

  • axe86-'Destroyed labor How?'-

    Reagan was a failure, business over labor [air traffic controller union]

    The Round transformed the GATT into the World Trade Organization.

    The Uruguay Round began in 1986. It was the "most ambitious round to date", hoping to expand the competence of the GATT to important new areas such as services, capital, intellectual property, textiles, and agriculture. "123 countries took part in the round"

    NAFTA, created more jobs and exports - Heritage Foundation

  • The contempt you have for the American people is sickening. I don't think you would have a problem putting the  "uneducated masses" as you call them , into box cars for their trip to the camp.

    Being a good little socialist your side has practice in that. Read a history book and you will see this is true. Stalin called pro commie Americans useful idiots. Wow, I thought I would never agree with anything Stalin ever said till now!

  • Like fear mongering, calling people who love the constitution Right Wing Extremist. The Constitution is at the center. If we love the Constitution and want to follow that how is that right wing? And why would anyone want to be a leftist? Show me one good thing communism has ever produced. Oh I am sorry you are not honest, Socialism, that is the word you like to use. Doesn't sound as scary as Communism. You know what is scary though? Lenin's quote "the goal of socialism is communism" .

  • All you seem to have are phony [cowardice] excuses for racism !

  • Standing up is not cowardice. I have no problem with the color of Pres. Obama's skin. It is the color of his and your ideology that I have a problem with. Communist Red. That is my problem. My problem is people calling standing up for Liberty racism as if they know what the word means. Look up the word you idiotski. And not the deffinition that was coined by a marxist Black Panther from Berkley. Have anyone in the Tea Party ever said one race was superior to another. No. We want the U.S. back.

  • And as far as racism goes, the most famous racist I can think of was Adolph Hitler. Adolph Hitler the socialist. The party of Adolph Hitler. National Socialists.

     I do not see color unlike you socialists. I see fellow Americans. We have shared this country long enough to be the same race. Its called American you communist subversive working from within to try to bring us down.

  • conservo-tards same goals and techniques . Nazi ideology stressed the failures of communism, liberalism, and democracy. stressed the "racial purity" "life unworthy of living" Jews, Slavs, Roma homosexuals the mentally and physically disabled
  • There ideology was more simlar than different than communism. Stalin was afraid that there brand of socialism would gain favor over communism. And vice-versa The leftist progressives lauded fascism till they got their orders from Stalin to oppose it. Look it up. Maybe one day you can do your own research instead towing your college professors party line.

  • Nazi ideology stressed the failures of

    communism,

    liberalism,

    and democracy.

    stressed the "racial purity"

  • But you are referring to the "liberalism" of that particular time. What is the "liberalism" (in name only) of today is far closer to the "progressive-ism" of the early 20th century. The "liberals" who were fighting for personal liberty and freedom of speech and thought are not the modern-day "liberals" today screaming for MORE government control of speech, thought, money, industry, health care, etc. That is closer to Marx's communism. Read the Communist Manifesto.

  • Contempporary definitions :

    1. the quality or state of being liberal, as in behavior or attitude.

    2. a political or social philosophy advocating the freedom of the individual, parliamentary systems of government, nonviolent modification of political, social, or economic institutions to assure unrestricted development in all spheres of human endeavor, and governmental guarantees of individual rights and civil liberties.

  • PowerPoint - Republican National Committee

    3. Stroke the egos of the wealthy; scare everybody else

    Some major donors have been abandoning the GOP ... So the plan is to exert "peer-to-peer pressure" and promise "access" to make them start anteing up again. If that doesn't work, appeal to their "patriotic duty." Small donors, the presentation says, are "reactionary" and motivated by "fear," so the goal with them is tap into their "extreme negative feelings toward existing Administration."

  • 1. Beware the "Evil Empire"

    One page of the PowerPoint presentation has the heading, "The Evil Empire." It includes an picture of the infamous poster that depicted President Obama as the Joker from Batman, as well as cartoon images of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi as Cruella De Vil and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid as Scooby Doo.

    Yes, we caused the Great Repub. Depressions; but, but .. liberty, freedom, .. but, but - Reagan .. but, but flounding fathers .. Obama used a teleprompter - not slight of hand like our girl Sarah, and Laugh tracks na, na, na, na, naa !

    Still, Cowering from ALL substantive discussion - of common interest TO improve our country - same old - B.S. rhetoric, and obstruction !

    STILL SAYING - we are more moral then you MF-ers !

  • What did Roosevelt do to take us out of the depression?

  • Put people to work and created the middle class that became the envy of the world.

  • Roosevelt "created" the middle class? Did he step out on the White House lawn and declare with a booming voice, "LET THERE BE A MIDDLE CLASS?" Or was it industrialization that created the middle class?

  • Created the environment that 'protected and respected the laborers' - fair labor, minimum wage, reversed child labor, contractual -S.S. [Federal Old-Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance] etc.

    Majority of Americans have always worked for small businesses; not industries.

  • Why has no one brought up the point that the reason we have this problem is due to the government promising healthcare to millions of people that it can't deliver. It's a clever tactic they use to point the finger at private business to cover up for their failed policy.

    Medicare is bankrupting the country, so let's get everyone on it! That should workout pretty well....

  • Exactly. And while we do that, let's cut $500 billion to medicare, because we KNOW that it will ONLY cut out the "fraud, waste, and abuse" in the system. Then there won't be any "fraud, waste, and abuse."

  • danhaw121

    Got statistics, or just fear mongering.

    Both S.S. and Medicare are capped at $106,000 - flat tax, everybody pays he same percentage.

    Poorer people pay on 100% of income. Yet the wealthy besides receiving bigger S.S. checks pay a much lower % of their income into it.

  • danhaw1

    When W.Bush was selling - 'give it to Wall St.' - the numbers, that I heard were 1 % [from those over the cap], not the full 15+%, that poor pay - would make it viable for 50+ years.

    Make it progressive on all income [interest and dividends, stock options, etc.].Relieve businesses of their 7 1/2% obligation.

    But, we know 'compassionate conservatism' is only an 'election year lie'; never gonna happen.

  • Hackit is probabley paid to push the socialist agenda. How many Obama supporters does it take to change a light bulb?

    10, 1 to change the light bulb, 3 to blame Bush for the light burning out, 1 to get a government green permit to get permission to have a light bulb. 2 to put out a press release how this light bulb is much better than the last 8yrs,3 to go on you tube and pretend to be regular guys,while you defend this new faulty dim lightbulb

  • Again hackit12 I think you may have a warped view of the other side. I am a Republican with Libertarian leanings ( I don't like the government telling what I can and cant do)

    I am for: clean air, water, safe food for all, fair wages( relative to the socioeconomic area, and those who work hard), safe work places, and social sec.( but not the current model that is bankrupting the US). I am opposed to handouts to those who are just to lazy to get up off their asses and work, and fiscal stupidity.

  • still throwin' stones and cowering from the discussion.

    Theaustincart warped view I am a Republican with Libertar..

    I am a unique composition of matter and energy, in time.

    ... you have a naïve view. Selective opinions to justify your point of view - not opinion.

    Same as global climate change is now. 150+ nations worldwide have all come to the same

  • You still beleive in the global warming hoax! You really do not have a mind of your own. Go out side just once an awhile' Brrrr its chilly out there. "thats not climate thats weather BLAH BLAH BLAH" Global warming is the communists attempt to take down America. And it was working till we woke up!

  • Theau. social sec.( but not the current model that is bankrupting the US)

    Egregiously exaggerated, rarely discussed in detail; and is easily salvageable.

    Theau. I am opposed to handouts to those who are just to lazy to get up off their asses and work

    I do not know any one for handouts to those who are just to lazy. But has been

    exaggerated for selfish advantage. But most that I do know, brag about cheating on taxes.

    Theau.and fiscal stupidity.

    That is subjective.

  • A couple major factors here in play, politicians saving their asses and corporations opposition.

    'Current minority' think they can continue a disingenuous campaign for the mid-term elections based on obstructing,false assertions, mis-represented opinion, lies, and the usual fear-factoring [Pres. Obama factor, you know Bush was whiter].

    Corporate and elitist want less tax on themselves and maintain monopolies; even though they ma

  • y be killing themselves, too.

  • You are so brainwashed you can  never debate a statist as yourself. Just remember what socialist revolutions do when they acheive total power. They purge. And who do they purge? The people that helped them get into power . Those who truly want to change our system from a representative republic to socialism are treasonous. Pure and simple. I do not understand how you could buy into how "awful" your country is. Maybe one day you will figure out you are being used as a useful idiot. Do't reply.

  • ThePackers123 ..never debate a statist Cowering away AGAIN ThePackers123 Like GM taken over, and the banks etc. . is not buying/controlling ! .. GM or anybody else . . "regulation" of the corrupt and the heartless i.e. Federally subsidized - healthcare/insurance monopolies Wall St. Detroit multi-national corp. [job exporters] etc ---- regulation IS NOT takeover.
  • Regulation is a takeover. Who gave them the right and the power to over regulate. Who are they? They work for us at our consent not the other way around. As soon as more people remember that the better. We will not become the Soviet states of Amerika.

  • You are still pisse that the constitution and the electoral college prevailed. The Electoral College shows how far ahead of our time our founding fathers are. by the way if 5-4 descission is illegitimate for a supreme court descission why is Roe v Wade held in such high esteem? %-4 on that one too Hackit.

    According to you !

  • Since when has regulating not meant controlling?

  • Since they wrote dictionaries .... 2 words, 2 different meanings.

  • Socialists are bankrupting our country.

  • Reagan, Bush II 12 T4 debt

    socil.. commy marxers, nazi, ...

    according to you !

  • Projection. The guy who flew the plane into the IRS building was a lefty' He was just mad that he actually had to pay taxes.

    Read his manifesto. I am sorry I forgot you do not read anything. I am sure your Komizar will tell you what to think.

  • Also seeing as you seem to just be into the blame game and general hate towards those who disagree with you opinion( which in my opinion is rather close minded) maybe you should look to FDR who founded many of the government programs that have led to the downward spiral deeper and deeper into debt. While I am at it I would like to point out that Americans as a whole have a negative savings rate( meaning they spend more than they make) this has been so for many many years...

  • hackit12, I don't know where your getting the information you used for your reply to my earlier comment but I would wonder where it came from considering the basis of the knowledge I used came from 4 years of study of Business and Economics and countless lectures and discussions with those who have spent the last 30-50 years studying economics and government.

  • You can not show your diploma here ~ only facts and logic count.

    Seem to be expressing op-spin-ion not fact.

    How has FDR spiraled us in to the Republican debts of 1981-2009 ? And isn't that pointing fingers [blame game] at people you disagree with ???

    And seem to be cowering from the discussion, if my 'facts', are wrong, point us elsewhere.

    Has the current 12 T$ debt been amassed by the

    Administrations of Reagan, Bush II.

  • Your right you I can not show my diploma on youtube, just like you can't seem to provide any facts to your argument. All you keep saying is that the 12T$ debt was amassed by Reagan and Bush II. As for FDR I suggesting that all the social programs such as Social Sec, and welfare are bankrupting the country. Neither was meant to be a permeant program.you want some facts? here before Reagan accumulated debt from Washington to Carter 909.1 B$

  • Reagan racked up 2.6 T$ in 8 yr, Bush I 4.0 T$ in 4 , Clinton 5.6 T$ in 8yr, Bush II 7-8T$ in 8yr, Obama 1T$ a year in. There is no one who can argue that Reagan and Bush II racked up substantial debt but but Clinton is not innocent either. Lets do the math shall we....2.6 + 8 = 10.6 which is not 12.

  • And what makes you so much better informed as to the facts? For all we know as readers you may just be spouting meaningless propaganda. Its easy to repeat one thing over and over, and simply say that someone is wrong with out backing your argument up.
