it's okay to fight in wars that we should've never been involved in and get us deeper into debt but when we try to save 45000 people who die every year because they don't have health insurance everyone's talking about who's gonna pay for it, and cry about how our grand children gonna have to pay for it. But if the bill in question is about invading a country or spending more money on nukes then no one in the right talks about the debt.
cant vve just move the afghan/irak vvars here to vvashington...its gotta be easier and cheaper to fight the C.I.A. here than thier...ooops thats right...vvashingtons not blessed vvith opium or oil...vve fight in afganistan for rockefeller=exxon/mobile pipeline from the caspian...C.I.A.=opium trade(like in vietnam up1200%in afghan) and irak for brit royales=british petrolium...rothschild ovvned federal reserve=sadam trading oil in euros(not anymore)dutch shell=bitch kueen Betrice= elite assholes!
Santorum is a fascist and a liar. He is not counting the interest on debt which is largely due to the money we borrowed from China to go to war with Iraq. Much of our military budget is borrowed money The interest we pay on those loans isn't considered military spending. There are several other thingsrelated to war which is no longer considered military spending.
Kucinich is my favorite Democrat. He is a man of integrity and cares about this country even though I am a republican.
Finally: All funds are fungible. We spend about 33% of every tax dollar or even more on the military and we're not even counting future obligations like health care and other benefits for our troops that they aren't collecting now.
So, according to Santorum, we the Untied States are invading Afghanistan and Iraq to keep up with the Russians and Chinese?? Is this a good reason to bankrupt the Country? Those are Santorum's own words, not mine. No money for social spending, but unlimited funds so the US ruling class won't lose face in the eyes of China and Russia?? Santorum screams bloody murder for social spending but bailouts for corpoate Republicans on Wall Street is OK? Why?
Honestly I am against all welfare but it really pisses off this Republican to see how all these so called Republicans sound off in hateful contempt of bailing some poor slob out of their "bad life planning" but cry a river to bail our billion dollar government established corporations out of their "bad life planning."
I do not like welfare but the score is: Corporations that casued the crisis got 23 trillion.
What elses pissed this Republican off? Neocons that cry for tax breaks but ONLY for billion dollar corporations.
Why not a tax break for all (along with reducing our spending by bringing our troops home and ending these wars?) What is so "liberal about that?" Give the poor and middle class a tax cut. Hell give us all a tax cut. That, to me, is what being CONSERVATIVE is.
I used to be a right wing Republican myself: listened to Limbaugh, didn't trust the supposedly rght wing media. But the Republican Party is a TOTAL fraud. They are the Party of the wealthy special interests, the Party that wants to enrich those groups at the expense of the Middle Class. Republicans don't give a rat's tail about anybody but their wealthy base. That's their REAL BASE. Yes, it IS a zero sum game.
It probably is their real base because SO MANY, like us, have left the party. Their base has shrunk terribly since 2001 leaving a small number of neocons left (and that's why they got waxed in the 06 and 08 elections.)
And your assessment of the party is dead on.
Did you go independent? The center of gravity of the party doesn't come close to my form of PURE conservativism.
To clarify I am not blaming us for the shrinking of the base. I blame the Neocon, Moral Majority movement that hijacked the party in the late 70s, early 80s.
I would say I'm now independent. Because really, both parties are tainted by corruption. IMHO, the Republicans are responsible for the majority of our deficit/budget mess, bu the Dems haven't been much help. What we need is viable third and fourth political parties.
Congress will NOT be responsive to the average American if there are only two choices in candidates--tweedle dum and tweedle dee. You have to take the power bases away from the Dems and Repubs. Then they'll listen.
Dennis Kucinich cannot work from within the dominant paradigm of our Corporate run government. He must leave the party now. We need an entire new system of government any way we can get it.
Rich is ignoring how big the government's gotten with these wars, but it's government for the corporations, by the corporations and let's find ways to exploit and control the people.
I wanna smack that smirk off that Sen. face! If he wants to continue the war so badly then send his ass over there and Obama too! And who exactly are we fighting Sen.? A bunch of pissed off people, upset that a foreign nation is occupying their land and taking their resources. We would react the same way if the roles were reversed. I wish Fox would show Ron Paul more than stupid warpig, neo-cons who have NO idea how to uphold their oath to the Constitution!
I love how faux news refers to Santorum as Senator Santorum. What a joke, its FORMER Senator Santorum, he got voted out for being a christian extremist douchebag.
Fox is doing the same thing with Sara Palin calling her Gov Palin after she quit!! Ever notice how Fox doesnt say pres..Obama...I wonder if that is part of there fair@bal program?
What a STUPID SON OF A BITCH! Did he just try to support his argument by saying that during JFK's time 60% of the budget was spent on defence, so we should do the same?
HERES SOME NEWS YOU CORPORATE MORON, during JFK's time the U.S. was fighting a COLD WAR against the SOVIETS, hence the HIGH DEFENCE BUDGET.
Fucking republicans trying to kill more American soldiers so that they can make some money in the backpockets of the corporations.
that 12% percent arugument is bunk, thats just the DOD, that does not include the department of homeland security, the department of state, the on budget war on terror, the va and non descretionary cia funding, oh guess what ,that 60% percent number is still relevant. WAKE UP AMERICA. thanks for the post
Our country has truly become an empire, it needs to expand and conquer to survive, that's the hopeless situation we have been placed in through our dishonest monetary system and the Federal Reserve. The bankers power was on full display last fall when they held a gun to the government"s head and said bail us out or you're dead. And of course Obama and Mccain both agreed it had to be done. The politicians always obey the banksters.
If the government only acts in the interests of the corporations, it is called Corporatism. The Bankers create the "money", (credit) for the corporations and government. "Permit me to issue and control the money of a nation and I care not who makes its laws". Mayer Amsched Rothchild. The Federal Reserve is owned and controlled by PRIVATE bankers. What they practice is not true capitalism. It's more like an oligarchy. They work for their own interests, and not the American people.
Capitalism is an oligarchy of corporatists. The Fed is controlled by corporations and is used as a tool to do things like keep the job market from overheating. The Fed creates unemployment. They are a private institution that conspire with Corporations and the State (politicians, the Courts, the military and the National Security agencies). The Fed needs to be taken out of the hands private interests and placed in public control (nationalized).
I agree with you mostly. I'm just saying pure capitalism, which adheres to laws to protect the public, is good. I would only be for the government taking over the fed if they were going to replace it with an honest system. One that's based on a real currency and one that doesn't create any debt whatsoever. The Federal Reserve system, requires perpetual increasing debt to function. Most people don't understand that simple fact. The system itself is flawed.
I should add that many people look at the Federal Reserve and say AAHH look how bad capitalism is. But the real problem is that the Fed has a MONOPOLY on the creation of money. If our dear leaders followed the constitution they would protect the people against that.
I'm annoyed with those who say "capitalism is bad". The perversion of it is bad, yes, but any good thing can be perverted. The Federal Reserve, (fractional banking), and wall street (Greed) have perverted capitalism. The government has failed us because they have cooperated and encouraged it. Both parties ALWAYS protect the banks first, because that's who they are controlled by.
But it's the corporations and their, not our, representatives that have failed us in our so called democratic government. Our "representatives" in both "parties" with few exceptions, are functionaries of our corporate capital system. They represent corporate, moneyed interest and profits that's it. Capitalism is by nature hierarchical and not responsive at all to democratic influence. They create an atmosphere of "anti-government" yet are the biggest beneficiaries of it.
Additionally, I agree that the FED needs to be regulated and even nationalized but that won't happen because capitalism needs the FED it is a functionary tool for profit and corruption. What is going on at Wall Street is Capitalism at it's best. The senate hearings is all theatre. They want Capitalism to prosper and it's elitist investor class which doesn't just include bankers and wall street but corporate executives and employees and yes most in Congress and the Senate.
A 4 year old girl making a profit at a Koolaide stand is engaged in capitalism. If she wants to work harder and set up 10 more stands, she will increase her profits. If she buys all the koolaide in town, creating a monopoly, raising prices, and paying the authorites to leave her alone, then she and the authorites have crossed over into corruption. For the authorities are no longer protecting or representing the public interest or good.
Capitalism and the term for it was not in use by that time but Jefferson was referring to moneyed interests and that includes today's Corporations and investor class and FED.
I am having trouble understanding your distinction between private capital or corporations, the Fed and Wall Street. They are all part of one specialized class. The only "Big Gov" we have is that which abets corporations and capitalists. If we want regulation of the FEd and Wall Street then we need Big Gov for us
Every dollar is created with interest attached to it. The FED system causes slavery, because the debt always increases and can never be paid off. The FED system is also based on exponential growth, which is an impossibility. If the people will not go into debt on their own, the government will do it for them. That's what happened with the TARP bailout and stimulus'. The Fed and all Banks are ONE bank, it's a closed loop. They need people to go into more and more debt for it to function.
I would make this distinction. Anyone can start a corporation and have a honest profitable buisness. But that's not true for starting a bank. If I created a bank, under U.S. Law that bank would need to be part of the Federal Reserve system. Well, since that system is corrupt and immoral, I would be just as guilty for joining it. ALL banks are corrupt for the way in which money is created. But NOT ALL corporations are corrupt.
I already know this about the money system and debt slavery and I'm with you. But it's part of a bigger Imperialist State. There is a difference between government and state. The Fed is run by the same people that run corporations and the State, it's a revolving door. They are all in the ruling class, do you see? Capitalism does not create prosperity for the majority only a minority. It creates wage slavery for the rest. It's bad for humanity.
I am not talking about small businesses. Small businesses and stores were legal in the former Soviet Union. Small businesses provide more jobs for employers now in the US than corporations.
Just to get back to the subject. We need more Government regulation to stop the runaway uncontrolled Casino Capitalism both in the Fed, Wall Street and Private Companies. But I'm a Marxist so this would never be enough for me.
Democracy was an invention by the people to protect themselves from the abuses of the wealthy property owning class. The US constitution was created was created by these elitists to further their own interests and it includes checks and balances to guard against the "leveling effects" of the majority. Every right we have fought for, however insufficient, has come from the bottom up through bloody struggles by the working class and propertyless against the wealthy class.
There have been banking interests since the begining who wanted to keep every one enslaved to them. As Benjamin Franklin said. "The refusal of King George III to allow the colonies to operate an honest money system, which freed the ordinary man from the clutches of the money manipulators was probably the prime cause of the revolution". The colonies were prospering with interest free money and there was full employment. While in Britain they had homelessnes and "to many workers"
What is taught in school is that the revolution was only about taxes, but as Benjamin Franklin said again. The Colonies would gladly have borne the little tax on tea and other matters had it not been the poverty caused by the bad influence of the English bankers on the Parliament, which has caused in the Colonies hatred of England and the Revolutionary War.
ooooo watch out america the taliban are everywhere. they are around every corner, up every street, Fuck there's probably 3 in your garbage can right now buliding a nuclear bomb mcgiver style. Be afraid, and without these wars they are going to strike...
kinda strange that fox news even had Kucinich on. The world could sure use more people like him in politics i hope he wins the 2012 election.
Yeah, it's so stupid how people seem to think that Al Qaeda are some elite team of supervillians when really they're just a group of primitive, ignorant bufoons who got lucky on 9/11.
Obama passed the largest military budget in the history of the universe. It's a public record. Don't believe me find it yourself. Unfortunately, I can't say Santorum is stupid. He knows exactly what needs to be said.
Bring all the soldiers home and open all the factories and companies to produces every thing we import from these third world country and stop giving aid. We need to start working from within building a new nation for all Americans.
And let all those who want to kill each other have at it. We must change this before its to late.
Kucinich is correct but he needs to leave the democratic party and form a third party for America. The Dems and Reps are two sides of the same rotten coin.
I'm so sick of all of this shit ! Bring the troops home, close all foreign bases. Tell all other nations that we are done being the world policemen and that if they mess with US we will destroy them. Our constitution calls for a strong defense not a strong empire. We need nothing from the middle east. We have our own natural resources. Why are we there ? CORPORATIONS. We're fucked if our people don't wake up.
bring them all home. but they will need jobs. So all those that whine about the war and all the troops over seas will give up their jobs for all those troops coming bnack from over seas.
That means you get to sit on your ass and collect welfare,food stamps. And still pay taxs.
Tax 50% of your welfare check, and make you grow your on food sounds better.
As another user stated, all you're doing is making blanket statements. How is Kucinich irrational? Will you offer a refutation on any of the points he made?
MrStandforAmerica, I used to think as you do, Do you know the history of the Federal Reserve ? Do you know that Thomas Jefferson thought central banks were more dangerous than standing armies. Do you know what fractional banking is ? Do you know what a fiat currency is ? If you don't know these things, then you will never understand why our country does certain things like the banker bailout. Dems. and Reps (Obama/Bush/Mccain) will always obey their masters WAKE UP.
Well buger guess you wasn't around when I was paying a dime for a gallon of gas or .25 cent for a loaf of bread. Then watch it go to $2.00 a gallon and $1.50 a loaf. all while the dollar was backed by gold. Hyper-inflation still happens while on the gold standard as well as the fiat.
The problem is when Clinton started all this in the availability of credit to people on welfare and food stamps, that is allowed to be called income for credit they can't affod.
Amen to that. That was the brainchild of Greenspan more than anything. Worker's wages stayed the same (altho they really went down when u consider inflation) as buying power steadily increased, because of the high availability of credit. Now Obama is drinking the same koolaid, urging banks to extend more credit...he's just engineering another collapse.
Kucinich makes Santorum look like a foolish child here. I am so sick of these blowhard cons who just bash Dems and offer no solutions. Dennis really comes off a lot better than Rick here.
santorum is a neocon dirtbag. we dont have the money to go abroad and be a police force. a neocon is a nazi. the bush family have nazi ties. so does karl rove. if you are a real conservative you wouldnt support sexually deviant crooks and thieves
Where does Santorum get the figue that 12% of our budget is spent on defense? Even when the right tries to compute the budget by making past defense spending as "debt"instead of defense spending, it's still over 20%
Kucinich cited credible right wing sources, Santorum used guilt-by-association and us vs. them smears. Speaking of smears, Santorum is another word for ass cheese but then you knew that already.
As a Ron Paul Conservative I have to say, Kucinich is dead on here... Santorum's numbers have to be a little offbase, our military empire of bases around the world plus our involvements cost around 1 trillion per year... If you look at Bush's campaign in 2000 he talked about cutting bases around the world, not telling other countries how to live and being a non inverventionist... We've been chasing the boogie man to the point of bankruptcy... Afghan was the soviets downfall as well...
Some young man joins the Army, willing to pledge his life for the country and hoping to get some college scholarship to better himself, you have "nothing" for? But you are fine if they just want cash?
Yet you have no problem voting for your fag Republicans to send him to war? You vote for fag Republicans like Lindsey Graham and child molester/Muslim lobbyists Dennis Hastert - and that's ok with you?
Why do you hate America? Is it because you hate Jesus too?
MrSTANDFORAMERICA, could you please try and make a relevant point & elaborate on your statement rather than making blanket statements that come off as nothing more than bitter/partisan non sequiturs???
It figures you'd call one of a handful of people in Washington that actually gives a shit about this country nuts. There's something seriously wrong with you.
He's spot on and he clearly articulates the left/right problem through trying to talk to the bozo from PA. I'm really concerned that people are so complacent with the current war situation. I mean yeah I don't support socialized medicine- but it's a hell of a lot better than the destruction and costs of war. We all need to get together to end the banksters/war mongers/imperialists that are ruining our country.
What if America took it's country back from these war mongers and banksters? What if the people who rigged elections came forward and fixed the fix? What if America showed up and voted in Men like Dennis or Ron? The big boys think they have it made in the shade and we are all just a bunch of yahoo's with on talent or power but what if they under estimated what we could really do? What do you think you could do?
the military complex we have takes weapons, jets , etc and destroys them so they can act like there is a need to stock up on rockets and other weapontry. truth is we don't need most of the military spending we have right now but we blow it up to look like its in use. i'm with the congressman 100% and wish i could have voted for him for pres.. and why did she keep calling the FMR senator "senator?" when he's an anylist for your station you can't keep referring to him as if he still has a vote.
Meanwhile, our borders are still open, our container ports are still unsecured, And we have muslim wackos infiltrating our military killing our troops on our own soil and we are told not to jump to conclusions?So how is the Afghan war making us safer again? What have we accomplished in the 8 years we have spent there? What have we lost since the war on terror began? This is the same old tired wardrum beating no matter what party happens to be in power. Left, right, coke, pepsi it dont mean sht.
Imagine the civil and intellectual discourse we would have had if the left picked Kucinich as their presidential nominee and the right picked Ron Paul.
We have GOT to stop picking the fucking corporate/bankster/military-industrial candidates, it is OUR FAULT--we had the opportunity and squandered it!
Dennis Kucinich is 100% correct. Left, Right is all a big lie ... the agenda never ends foreign policy remains the same. Its time Americans put America first
Oh My God, stop the presses a Democrat on "On the Record?" You mean Greta decided to take a break from the three ringed circus of "Fox News Analysis" Rove, Morris and Santorum.
who is that idiot and why is the "news" middle-woman on his side? Why is she quoting republican talking points to Kucinich? Oh its Fox, I like how she says "FOX news analyst" -- the fight is here , against the media and idiots who are paid like this "ANALyst" to LIE to us. If ANYONE can't see through this fox news analyst, and why are they calling him a senator? WHO IS THAT GUY? they always talk about "the left" and they are talking about THE ENTIRE COUNTRY, that isn't right. this is SAD
Why and how do clowns like Santorum get elected? I don't get it; just looking at him makes you want throw mud on his face. The man is clearly a neocon warmonger.
Rick Santorum is a smug, p.o.s. war-mongering, four-eyed, ego-tripping tool.
Do you notice how those in power always turn a problem into a right-left issue. It's not about the people's political views. What's destroying our country are the rich who bleed the tax payers out of everything for their prosperity, and then turn citizens against each other by always blaming either "liberals" or "conservatives". I say f*ck the super rich, those making White House policies that cripple the working poor
Look at Santorum's face at the end of that Ass Whooping Rep. Kucinich gives him. All the Right wing does is spout the same talking points over and over. Go back to 2004/2005 and I BET YOU you can find Santorum saying the EXACT SAME THING about Iraq as it went to shit.
Right wingers don't think, THEY AGREE. They agree on a point of view and make up ways to prove they are right.
I agree with Dennis, however, what the hell is he thinking about starting a govt run healthcare? Why does the economy not have any effect on that issue? Anyways, we need to stop messing with other countries, we cant afford it, its makes them hate us even more, and it is making us look even worse.
We're already paying more than any other nation in the world for our profit-thirsty private medical insurance system. The whole point of a singer payer is that its the cheapest, most efficient option.
Actually single payer is the most cost efective health system. The French, The Irish, The British, the Australians, the Singaporeans etc. all spend less per-capita that the US. Even the conservatives in those countries support single payer.
Umm, yeah, if you dont mind waiting 6 months for your expensive cancer treatment. Dont tell me the systems are as efficient as ours. That debate has been done and proven that our system provides better care more rapidly. It is the cost associated with it that is sucking. Maybe if congress would repeal theanti-trust laws that ins. companies are exempt from, and allowed cross state buys, the price would come down just like every other service and good in the market. now that is proven.
''Umm, yeah, if you dont mind waiting 6 months for your expensive cancer treatment.''
There are isolated cases where that has happened but it's FAR from the norm. The NHS policy for example is that all diagnosed patients available for treatment will be treated within 31 days.
''Dont tell me the systems are as efficient as ours.''
They aren't as efficient as ours. They are more efficient. Yes, there are longer wating lines but you know why that is? Because more people get treated! No one has to stay home from getting a breast exam, CT, colonoscopy or various other important procedures because they don't have insurance.
Yep your right, more people get treated. But the critically ill or people with a life threatening illness get less care because the burden of care is shifted to treat non-life threatening disease. I wish some people would understand mechanisms of the market. It is because the insurance companies are not competing that health care is so expensive. no onedoubts that we need social programs, but if they dont fix the reasons WHY it is so expensive, then they just feed ins companies more.
If you think about how much braces cost when they first came out, or boob jobs. The prices have come down. The cost always comes down on new technologies and treatments when companies compete.
''But the critically ill or people with a life threatening illness get less care because the burden of care is shifted to treat non-life threatening disease.''
That's not true. The cases you speak of people have had to wait far too long post-diagnosis are isolated cases and FAR from common.
''WHY it is so expensive, then they just feed ins companies more. ''
Why are insurance companies a necessity in the first place? A corporation's main objective is to make a proft. It's their job to put money before people's health.
I think of it more as "America is God's gift to man, and you should be grateful if we decide to **** on you" vs America is a nation which has traditionally emphasis the value of freedom among all else"
Rick is the dumbest pea brained idiot ever to have served office quite possibly. Look him up, check the wacked out crazy shit he says, North Eastern Pennsylvania glad they voted him out!
The sad irony was that in early 2001 the Taliban made good on their threat to destroy the Opium crops, wiping out 98% of Afghanistan's main cash crop.
The war on terror is a documented hoax, Mr. Santorum. Millions of people know this documented historical fact.
It boggles my mind how any single person on TV can talk about war, the "war on terror" or Al Qaeda because the truth about these things is public record.
Obama's head foreign policy adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski and Secretary of Defense Gates are the two men responsible for training Usama Bin Laden (yes, it is spelled Usama) and creating what later became known as Al Qaeda.
According to the former FBI translator and founder of the National Security Whistleblowers Coalition, Sibel Edmonds, often referred to as "the most gagged person in the history of the U.S.", Usama Bin Laden was on the CIA's payroll up until the day of September 11, 2001.
The brother of Afghanistan's opium kingpin is on the CIA's payroll.
Since we invaded Afghanistan, the opium crop and the opium trade has been at an all-time high.
This is for the blind people that we have in this Country. Red vs Blue, People don't lose site of real patriots. One thing is Kucinich defends the Constitution of the United States and he understands how wars began. Nothing but NWO agendas. They have their little buddies in both parties. Ron Paul is another defender of the Constitution and also understands the NWO agenda. People need to understand Cap and Trade. Your jobs will move to 3rd world countries. Understand the control after.
guess what dummy in a global capitalist economy america is doomed.
americans' only chance for survival is a new world order in which a worldwide minimum wage can be enforced so that we no longer lose jobs to third world countries who employ prison labor or starving people who work for pennies a day.
So your socialist (comunist) mentality is what you call the right thing to do? The issue is that our representatives let the house of Rothchild inside of our government. It is a Cabal believe from those who seek to have World dominion. They already have the 3rd world countries, except 5. Those 5 are small enough to control. Are you kidding me with minimum wage? So everyone should make the same? What about the owner of the company? Go to Cuba and see if you like it after a year,,,,ignorant!
instead of being concerned with conspiracies you need to be concerned by the fact that we will all be starving soon due to lack of jobs.
the lack of jobs is a result of lack of a worldwide enforceable minimum wage, overpopulation, starving impoverished people who will work for pennies a day(result of overpopulation), prison labor, ect.
only a one world government can solve these problems. and if we dont do it soon americans will literally be starving.
Signboy I can understand why you would prefer Socialism over Democracy. Your occupation is listed as professional loafer. You want Socialism? I suggest you get on a plane and go live in USSR for a while and then post. What happens when the whole population takes your loafing stance cuz there is no incentive to be any better or produce any more than the loafer next to them because there is no reward for it?
Your ignorance is not a virtue. Here is your statement with the New World Order agendas. OVERPOPULATION! What we need is a true Patriot in charge. You don't see it but I do. It is a special gift that you don't have. Maybe if you do a bit of research you will find that the conspiracy is as old as 1776. Adrew Jackson, Ab Lincoln, and JFK were true Patriots because the saw it coming. In fact JFK printed 6 billion dollars, and told the press that they were conspiring with them. Are you an agent?
If you put the control of the world under one government, how would you escape it if it infringes on your rights?
Most of the problems of today aren't due to minimum wage, overpopulation, or whatever else - it's due to oppressive governments, war, corporatism, and general policy. If you want a real culprit to our problems, look at the Federal Reserve and central banking throughout the world. Central banks devalue currency, help big business, destroy the middle class, & create a dependent class.
santorum is an ass
koopsta93 4 weeks ago
it's okay to fight in wars that we should've never been involved in and get us deeper into debt but when we try to save 45000 people who die every year because they don't have health insurance everyone's talking about who's gonna pay for it, and cry about how our grand children gonna have to pay for it. But if the bill in question is about invading a country or spending more money on nukes then no one in the right talks about the debt.

Santorum is a fascist and a liar. He is not counting the interest on debt which is largely due to the money we borrowed from China to go to war with Iraq. Much of our military budget is borrowed money The interest we pay on those loans isn't considered military spending. There are several other thingsrelated to war which is no longer considered military spending.
Kucinich is my favorite Democrat. He is a man of integrity and cares about this country even though I am a republican.

So, according to Santorum, we the Untied States are invading Afghanistan and Iraq to keep up with the Russians and Chinese?? Is this a good reason to bankrupt the Country? Those are Santorum's own words, not mine. No money for social spending, but unlimited funds so the US ruling class won't lose face in the eyes of China and Russia?? Santorum screams bloody murder for social spending but bailouts for corpoate Republicans on Wall Street is OK? Why?

Honestly I am against all welfare but it really pisses off this Republican to see how all these so called Republicans sound off in hateful contempt of bailing some poor slob out of their "bad life planning" but cry a river to bail our billion dollar government established corporations out of their "bad life planning."
I do not like welfare but the score is: Corporations that casued the crisis got 23 trillion.
You and I got zero.
mongoose704 2 years ago
What elses pissed this Republican off? Neocons that cry for tax breaks but ONLY for billion dollar corporations.
Why not a tax break for all (along with reducing our spending by bringing our troops home and ending these wars?) What is so "liberal about that?" Give the poor and middle class a tax cut. Hell give us all a tax cut. That, to me, is what being CONSERVATIVE is.
mongoose704 2 years ago
I used to be a right wing Republican myself: listened to Limbaugh, didn't trust the supposedly rght wing media. But the Republican Party is a TOTAL fraud. They are the Party of the wealthy special interests, the Party that wants to enrich those groups at the expense of the Middle Class. Republicans don't give a rat's tail about anybody but their wealthy base. That's their REAL BASE. Yes, it IS a zero sum game.
Paolo7219 2 years ago
It probably is their real base because SO MANY, like us, have left the party. Their base has shrunk terribly since 2001 leaving a small number of neocons left (and that's why they got waxed in the 06 and 08 elections.)
And your assessment of the party is dead on.
Did you go independent? The center of gravity of the party doesn't come close to my form of PURE conservativism.
mongoose704 2 years ago
To clarify I am not blaming us for the shrinking of the base. I blame the Neocon, Moral Majority movement that hijacked the party in the late 70s, early 80s.
mongoose704 2 years ago
I would say I'm now independent. Because really, both parties are tainted by corruption. IMHO, the Republicans are responsible for the majority of our deficit/budget mess, bu the Dems haven't been much help. What we need is viable third and fourth political parties.
Congress will NOT be responsive to the average American if there are only two choices in candidates--tweedle dum and tweedle dee. You have to take the power bases away from the Dems and Repubs. Then they'll listen.

Politicians and bankers are controlled by Corporations. It's called capitalism.
canaan1967 2 years ago
If the government only acts in the interests of the corporations, it is called Corporatism. The Bankers create the "money", (credit) for the corporations and government. "Permit me to issue and control the money of a nation and I care not who makes its laws". Mayer Amsched Rothchild. The Federal Reserve is owned and controlled by PRIVATE bankers. What they practice is not true capitalism. It's more like an oligarchy. They work for their own interests, and not the American people.
booger546 2 years ago
@booger546
Capitalism is an oligarchy of corporatists. The Fed is controlled by corporations and is used as a tool to do things like keep the job market from overheating. The Fed creates unemployment. They are a private institution that conspire with Corporations and the State (politicians, the Courts, the military and the National Security agencies). The Fed needs to be taken out of the hands private interests and placed in public control (nationalized).
canaan1967 2 years ago
I agree with you mostly. I'm just saying pure capitalism, which adheres to laws to protect the public, is good. I would only be for the government taking over the fed if they were going to replace it with an honest system. One that's based on a real currency and one that doesn't create any debt whatsoever. The Federal Reserve system, requires perpetual increasing debt to function. Most people don't understand that simple fact. The system itself is flawed.
booger546 2 years ago
I should add that many people look at the Federal Reserve and say AAHH look how bad capitalism is. But the real problem is that the Fed has a MONOPOLY on the creation of money. If our dear leaders followed the constitution they would protect the people against that.
booger546 2 years ago
I'm annoyed with those who say "capitalism is bad". The perversion of it is bad, yes, but any good thing can be perverted. The Federal Reserve, (fractional banking), and wall street (Greed) have perverted capitalism. The government has failed us because they have cooperated and encouraged it. Both parties ALWAYS protect the banks first, because that's who they are controlled by.
booger546 2 years ago
@booger546
But it's the corporations and their, not our, representatives that have failed us in our so called democratic government. Our "representatives" in both "parties" with few exceptions, are functionaries of our corporate capital system. They represent corporate, moneyed interest and profits that's it. Capitalism is by nature hierarchical and not responsive at all to democratic influence. They create an atmosphere of "anti-government" yet are the biggest beneficiaries of it.
canaan1967 2 years ago
@booger546
Additionally, I agree that the FED needs to be regulated and even nationalized but that won't happen because capitalism needs the FED it is a functionary tool for profit and corruption. What is going on at Wall Street is Capitalism at it's best. The senate hearings is all theatre. They want Capitalism to prosper and it's elitist investor class which doesn't just include bankers and wall street but corporate executives and employees and yes most in Congress and the Senate.

A 4 year old girl making a profit at a Koolaide stand is engaged in capitalism. If she wants to work harder and set up 10 more stands, she will increase her profits. If she buys all the koolaide in town, creating a monopoly, raising prices, and paying the authorites to leave her alone, then she and the authorites have crossed over into corruption.

I am having trouble understanding your distinction between private capital or corporations, the Fed and Wall Street. They are all part of one specialized class. The only "Big Gov" we have is that which abets corporations and capitalists. If we want regulation of the FEd and Wall Street then we need Big Gov for us

Every dollar is created with interest attached to it. The FED system causes slavery, because the debt always increases and can never be paid off. The FED system is also based on exponential growth, which is an impossibility. If the people will not go into debt on their own, the government will do it for them. That's what happened with the TARP bailout and stimulus'. The Fed and all Banks are ONE bank, it's a closed loop. They need people to go into more and more debt for it to function.
booger546 2 years ago
I would make this distinction. Anyone can start a corporation and have a honest profitable buisness. But that's not true for starting a bank. If I created a bank, under U.S. Law that bank would need to be part of the Federal Reserve system. Well, since that system is corrupt and immoral, I would be just as guilty for joining it. ALL banks are corrupt for the way in which money is created. But NOT ALL corporations are corrupt.
booger546 2 years ago
@booger546
I already know this about the money system and debt slavery and I'm with you. But it's part of a bigger Imperialist State. There is a difference between government and state. The Fed is run by the same people that run corporations and the State, it's a revolving door. They are all in the ruling class, do you see? Capitalism does not create prosperity for the majority only a minority. It creates wage slavery for the rest. It's bad for humanity.

Democracy was an invention by the people to protect themselves from the abuses of the wealthy property owning class. The US constitution was created was created by these elitists to further their own interests and it includes checks and balances to guard against the "leveling effects" of the majority. Every right we have fought for, however insufficient, has come from the bottom up through bloody struggles by the working class and propertyless against the wealthy class.

There have been banking interests since the begining who wanted to keep every one enslaved to them. As Benjamin Franklin said. "The refusal of King George III to allow the colonies to operate an honest money system, which freed the ordinary man from the clutches of the money manipulators was probably the prime cause of the revolution". The colonies were prospering with interest free money and there was full employment. While in Britain they had homelessnes and "to many workers"
booger546 2 years ago
What is taught in school is that the revolution was only about taxes, but as Benjamin Franklin said again. The Colonies would gladly have borne the little tax on tea and other matters had it not been the poverty caused by the bad influence of the English bankers on the Parliament, which has caused in the Colonies hatred of England and the Revolutionary War.

Yep your right, more people get treated. But the critically ill or people with a life threatening illness get less care because the burden of care is shifted to treat non-life threatening disease. I wish some people would understand mechanisms of the market. It is because the insurance companies are not competing that health care is so expensive. no onedoubts that we need social programs, but if they dont fix the reasons WHY it is so expensive, then they just feed ins companies more.

If you think about how much braces cost when they first came out, or boob jobs. The prices have come down. The cost always comes down on new technologies and treatments when companies compete.

That's not true. The cases you speak of people have had to wait far too long post-diagnosis are isolated cases and FAR from common.

Why are insurance companies a necessity in the first place? A corporation's main objective is to make a proft. It's their job to put money before people's health.

Good Job, Dennis. Thank you for not forcing people to buy insurance under the threat of fines and imprisonment.

The debate is authoritarian interventionist VS libertarian non-interventionist; liberal and conservative don't really apply to this topic.

The sad irony was that in early 2001 the Taliban made good on their threat to destroy the Opium crops, wiping out 98% of Afghanistan's main cash crop.

It is like nourishment for my soul to hear Denis Kucinich speak with so much integrity and reason. Why can't everyone hear and understand!
Those right-wingers want war so their war corporations continue making obscene profits while people die and suffer.

If the democratic party was populated by people like Dennis Kucinich I would be far more likely to actually vote for their candidates.

The war on terror is a documented hoax, Mr. Santorum. Millions of people know this documented historical fact.
It boggles my mind how any single person on TV can talk about war, the "war on terror" or Al Qaeda because the truth about these things is public record.
Obama's head foreign policy adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski and Secretary of Defense Gates are the two men responsible for training Usama Bin Laden (yes, it is spelled Usama) and creating what later became known as Al Qaeda.

According to the former FBI translator and founder of the National Security Whistleblowers Coalition, Sibel Edmonds, often referred to as "the most gagged person in the history of the U.S.", Usama Bin Laden was on the CIA's payroll up until the day of September 11, 2001.
The brother of Afghanistan's opium kingpin is on the CIA's payroll.
Since we invaded Afghanistan, the opium crop and the opium trade has been at an all-time high.

This is for the blind people that we have in this Country. Red vs Blue, People don't lose site of real patriots. One thing is Kucinich defends the Constitution of the United States and he understands how wars began. Nothing but NWO agendas. They have their little buddies in both parties. Ron Paul is another defender of the Constitution and also understands the NWO agenda. People need to understand Cap and Trade. Your jobs will move to 3rd world countries. Understand the control after.
delmaroeb 2 years ago 2
guess what dummy in a global capitalist economy america is doomed.
americans' only chance for survival is a new world order in which a worldwide minimum wage can be enforced so that we no longer lose jobs to third world countries who employ prison labor or starving people who work for pennies a day.
think about it stupid.

So your socialist (comunist) mentality is what you call the right thing to do? The issue is that our representatives let the house of Rothchild inside of our government. It is a Cabal believe from those who seek to have World dominion. They already have the 3rd world countries, except 5. Those 5 are small enough to control. Are you kidding me with minimum wage? So everyone should make the same? What about the owner of the company? Go to Cuba and see if you like it after a year,,,,ignorant!

socialism is true democracy
instead of being concerned with conspiracies you need to be concerned by the fact that we will all be starving soon due to lack of jobs.
the lack of jobs is a result of lack of a worldwide enforceable minimum wage, overpopulation, starving impoverished people who will work for pennies a day(result of overpopulation), prison labor, ect.
only a one world government can solve these problems. and if we dont do it soon americans will literally be starving.

Signboy I can understand why you would prefer Socialism over Democracy. Your occupation is listed as professional loafer. You want Socialism? I suggest you get on a plane and go live in USSR for a while and then post. What happens when the whole population takes your loafing stance cuz there is no incentive to be any better or produce any more than the loafer next to them because there is no reward for it?

Your ignorance is not a virtue. Here is your statement with the New World Order agendas. OVERPOPULATION! What we need is a true Patriot in charge. You don't see it but I do. It is a special gift that you don't have. Maybe if you do a bit of research you will find that the conspiracy is as old as 1776. Adrew Jackson, Ab Lincoln, and JFK were true Patriots because the saw it coming. In fact JFK printed 6 billion dollars, and told the press that they were conspiring with them. Are you an agent?

If you put the control of the world under one government, how would you escape it if it infringes on your rights?
Most of the problems of today aren't due to minimum wage, overpopulation, or whatever else - it's due to oppressive governments, war, corporatism, and general policy. If you want a real culprit to our problems, look at the Federal Reserve and central banking throughout the world. Central banks devalue currency, help big business, destroy the middle class, & create a dependent class.

Central banks are a parallel government that have infected nearly every nation in the world. End the Fed.
