    I don't have to be like them I was not bright up like they was lieing stiling full of hate

    I want to do what is right I don't have to smock or drink. Just because my friends dos it I am doing what is right

  • 07/18/11 1:53 AM

    I am not going to be on the side of Corruption, Lies, and Ignorance.

    I want to do what is right not evil. I have a choice to do what is wrong or to do what is right I have a choice to follow after them ornot. I would say say no

  • RACIST , GREEDY PIGS , RICH , FEAR MONGERS , LIARS , CRAZY , NON LOGICAL , TRAILER TRASH THESE WORDS DESCRIBE THE TEA PARTY AND ALL OTHER REPUBLICANS

  • THE REPUBLICANS ARE LIARS , FEAR MONGERS , RACIST , PROPAGANDIST THAT CAN'T AND WON'T USE LOGIC TO ARTICULATE THEIR STATEMENTS OR

    DEBATES . THEY NEED SHEEP TO FOLLOW THEM AND BELIEVE IN THEM SO THEY CAN STEAL YOUR MONEY AND GIVE IT TO WALL STREET AND ANY OTHER BIG BUSINESS

  • Wow, good vid, and this was done 5 years ago. Think of the laughable idiot republicans that can be added to this list since then.

    Thanks for putting this together. Frankly, I think your too decent to call your self a republican.

  • @Livinggreen100 i could not agree with you more ,, this guy is way to honest to be a republican, they would throw him out on his ass for this, wonder how many names he's been called , i'll have to read, of coarse and republicans would call this guy a liar and deny any evidence to this,,, typical republican policy dont you know? after all this isn't his grandpa's gop is it?

  • I am a "registered democrat" (although I do not identify with the standard democrat platform. ... My parents were democrats). ... The behavior of my party over the last 2 years has been deplorable.  Their biggest flaw is their failure to admit their mistakes. ... I am also disgusted with the republican party. ...

  • Thank you for creating and posting this, Sir. Youtube is beautiful. But only 12,786 views, thats the True state of the American Conscience.

  • I refuse to respond to anyone who is argueing from a party perspective. It reflects too limiste an understanding of the political issues.

  • The moment this video was made into a polemic for the Democratic Party (as the suggested "good guys" (in the title) you lost me. The issues today do not hindge on Party Affiliation! Anyone who still believes it does, is a brainwashed member of the species, sheople!

  • @olga2415 Okay, then you can compile a list of 100 Democrat Corruption, Lies, and Ignorance. Until then, STFU!

  • @ThePedub No, You do your own research. The facts are the facts whether you understand them or not. There isn't an iota of difference between party affiliations, period; end of discussion.

  • @olga2415 Lol fool, don't act like the all knowing political magnate when clearly you are just trying to sound imposing. Essentially, you live in a country and generally a world of innocent until proven guilty, and for, I don't know, let's gauge this, at least 650 years, the basis of any debate or argument has been "If you don't put forward evidence to support yourself, your opinion on a matter means nothing." Opinions stated as facts without evidence get you nowhere.

  • @Olga2415 Also, you would get away with "little difference" at a stretch, but to say that there's no difference is just something hilarious. The rest of the world criticises you for being a country who will follow any man in any direction out of stupidity, and for the fact that your parties get by by being, saying and doing, just the complete oposite of eachother. On the grounds of corruption charges since 2001, democrats have been quite clean. ratio of 4.6:1 nearly 5x more from R past 10 years

  • @Olga2415 So yeah, there's your research done for you, 14 republican charges in the past 10 years, 3 from democrats, now while that's not perfect, the perfect screening process does not exist. And so I think to be honest, that any party that reforms enough to drop that to once every three years is certainly the better choice, and more ethical group than the one that not only does it more, but averages around 1.5 times PER YEAR.

  • @Igotstehspoon Clearly, you do not realize that all political parties are ultimately controlled and owned by the powers that be, who are pulling most of the strings and killing all those who become true pests to their objectives. Well let me not be the one who wakes you up. Stay asleep. I understand that's the most reassuring state to be in these days. Reality is really ugly in the political sense.

  • @olga2415 Again, not quite understanding this whole "evidence" concept. Saying "everything is controlled by this select group" while not being able to prove this beyond reasonable doubt is called spreading conspiracy theories. Come back with names, evidence, means motive and opportunity.

  • People are mad with dems, but imagine if your job everyday was to go in and negotiate with people (republicans) who wanted the exact opposite of you. (ie dems want to grow the middle class, raise taxes on the rich, regulate the financial sector so we don't have any more great depressions, decrease our health care costs)

    Republicans want the opposite of this... Imagine if you had to negotiate with a criminals like that.

  • There is a difference between the parties. Name the most crooked Democrat you can think of. Of course Pelosi, Kennedy, Wrangle come to mind. One has done nothing, one has vehicular homicide at worst, and the other got lowered rent on an apartment. Now compare that to the 100 examples of corruption given in this video of Repugnation. Not to mention the hundreds of thousands killed in unpaid for wars in a desert.

    Fuck this "both parties are crooked" bullshit.

  • Can you add this to my video :the truth of republicans.. wow @ 4:44 my favorite song plays from supertramp . good job and good taste in music.

  • No wonder why all the whiteys are so rich they are all crooked ass politicians.

  • We the People need to stop this" That one ,this one bullshit". We have lost our Country and now We the People must get it back for our Children Sake! They both have lied and should all be brought up on charges for Treason to "We the People. They have divide us so badly that they are all getting away with any and every thing. We lose not them. We need to stick to the FACTS only not spin! Research it your self,don't let anyone tell ,look for yourself!

  • You guys are fucken stupid. Stop pointing at each other and find common ground to fix this country to what it used to be. We will NEVER get fixed by pointing fingers at each other. Look at the ads....they always blame shit on the opposing party. They never say how they will improve the country. This is why politics piss me off. FUCK DEMOCRATS, FUCK REPUBLICANS.... Politics is just like wrestling...they fight and give us a good show but, but behind the curtains, they are good friends

  • I agree,the eisenhower republicans are all dead,and eisenhower was a decent republican president.Except for watergate, nixon was pretty good.

  • Republicans are all sick depraved pedophiles and their followers are simply morons.

  • Only sociopaths occupy the Halls of Congress. The only exception is Ron Paul, and maybe a handful of others. They should all be dragged from their seats, kicking and screaming, and strung-up from the nearest tree branch. This is what the Colonists would have done back in their day. Seems that the citizens were smarter then, and dumber now.

  • Haven't you guys figured this out by now? BOTH PARTIES are controlled by an Oligarchy, and that Oligarchy is demanding a global system of governance. Look how many duped people fell for their lie that "globalism will save us!". That "diversity is our strength!". Not one of their lies has been questioned within the MSM, because they OWN the MSM. America is being sacrificed on the altar of Globalism, and we'll suffer for it, just as we are now.

  • republicans = lies = curruption = greed = Narcissism

  • i have to say the republican party has gone out of control, maybe you should show this to that republican tool also known as Zo from Machosauce productions.

  • Comment removed

  • just another example of "liberal media bias"!

    not ONCE did you mention bill clinton having consensual sex! not once!

  • @djgambitron this is about GOP corruption you fucking idiot, this guy's a republican himself. We can point hundred of things wrong with that dickhead clinton, but his addressing the 100's GOP corruption, lies and ignorance. Maybe conservapedia is for people like you with a little brain.

  • @halflifeproductionz

    you're the fucking idiot when you can't recognize SARCASM or comprehend the concept of irony. it was too profound & subtle for you MUTE. it was a reference to how the media dragged clinton over the coals because all they could pin on him was BJ yet totally ignored bush STEALING the election & even said "we need to settle this quick" (instead of right)

    yet dittohead fucks like you STILL bitch about liberal media bias.

    my IQ is 135 on speed tests & 157 on "unlimited" BTW

  • @djgambitron lol, my bad!

  • I shit you not that I have had a few right-wingers actually make the claim that the Bush/Cheney regime were actually liberals. When I asked each of them if they were simply joking or being serious... OMG!! They were being serious.

    That is the power of corporate propaganda.

    Of course, this video and my comments do not absolve the Democrats of wrong doing... but this isn't about them.

  • @captfoster1

    THAT'S what i'm saying! the media bias is totally RIGHT WING! on a recent news report i saw, republicans were trying to effing downplay BP's role in the gulf spill and effing pin it on Obama!!! oh my effing god!

    if there was really a left wing media bias, you'd be hearing the words haliburton & effing CHENEY every single day! i find it too convenient that whenever a democrat dares upset the order a little, there's ahem, some sort of OIL CRISIS! (Jimmy Carter reference)

  • In 2010, we're still seeing their lies and ignorance.

  • Comment removed

  • truly shocking if it is all true, did you ever notice that all politicians are untrustworthy they just are, it sickens me.

  • damn, we can be here all day. I must say, both parties are currupted. But I definitely think GOP is a bunch of white old greedy bastards. while I think democrates are predominately white greedy bastards.

  • Democrat Georgia Governor Lester Maddox brandished an ax hammer to prevent blacks from patronizing his restaurant.

    Democrat Governor George Wallace stood in front of the Alabama schoolhouse in 1963, declaring there would be segregation forever.

    Democrat Arkansas Governor Faubus tried to prevent desegregation of Little Rock public schools.

  • You do realize that all of those men are Southern Democrats, whose beliefs are those of pre-Roosevelt Democrats, and that they were in fact more conservative than any Republicans around during their era, and that all of them would likely either be Republicans or extremely conservative independants if they were around today, right?

  • @ggweb1919 give the CONS some credit will YA

    Court, which resulted in the 1954 Brown vs. Board of Education decision.

    Republican Senator Everett Dirksen from Illinois, not Democrat President Lyndon Johnson, was the one who pushed through the civil rights laws of the 1960s.

    he wrote the language for the 1965 Voting Rights Act.

    he also crafted the language for the Civil Rights Act of 1968 which prohibited discrimination in housing.

  • It's too bad the Dem's of which i supported are total wimps. at least the bullheaded repub's can get there bills past

  • Republican Senator Everett Dirksen from Illinois, not Democrat President Lyndon Johnson, was the one who pushed through the civil rights laws of the 1960s. Dirksen wrote the language for the 1965 Voting Rights Act. Dirksen also crafted the language for the Civil Rights Act of 1968 which prohibited discrimination in housing.

    Republican and black American, A. Phillip Randolph, organized the 1963 March by Dr. King on Washington.

  • @gr8indasack69 true

  • What you see below me here kids is an epic life FAIL

  • Comment removed

  • Rethuglikkans Created the Republican Recession with Republican economics, and it snowballed out of control....this is the aftermath of 8 years,

    it never came with a magical wand or a treasure map.

    what is now, will take some time to bear thru a Republican Recession aftermath.

    its not over yet. and its a good reminder for ppl to run out there and vote not once but twice for another Republikkkan Recession, and farm out the left overs to China.

  • i think both republicans and democrats suck i really dont care about party amymore i look at ideals and for people that will defend obama til they die i feel bad for you cause he really isnt delivering what he said he would do at all

  • I heard that to join the republican party you have to bring a child.

  • the republican party are evil racist mainly white old men who wrap themselves with the flag and read from the bible...they will all burn in hell forever...they cant fool the man upstairs.

  • @mcleod929 I have been thinking the same thing lately.

  • @mcleod929 they are the man upstairs

  • I hope that the Republican Party goes

    the way of the Whigs.

  • i dont know why everyone is bent out of shape... as a people, we have tolerated this corruption since forever. Those who make laws are always above their creation.

  • @6gu7 YOU GOT THAT RIGHT BROTHER!!! In any country you live

  • i used to call myself republican............now i just say i'm an economic conservative

  • I consider myself a moderate. A little bit of effort and I could fine the same information on Democrats. Its 2009 now, not 2006 when this video was first posted. Are we really better off now. If you think we are then your being bias towards the Democrats. If you say we are not than perhaps you are not remembering facts. All of Congress is corrupt, all of them. And now for the last year we have been spoon feed a bunch of garbage. Better to be a moderate than with either of these parties.

  • @ronaldec7 very very true!!!!!

  • I'm a hardcore Democrat but it's good to know there are logical and decent people on the Republican side still in existence

  • I can say as an Australian. A very close ally of the U.S. The last Republican Administration was hated here. There is great annamosity against the U.S now. I only hope OBAMA can restore the ill feeling Bush and his Mobsters created.

  • Obama is no better, kenneth. Every time I look into Obama's eyes I see a monotonous tone.

    Somehow I feel that he lied his way into office.

  • Thats just retarded. You looked into his eyes and just asumed that he is evil. I can look into alot of peoples eyes and tell if they are good and evil but i dont just just by looking, unlike u, i actually look at facts. YOU HYPOCRITE BASTARD. Dont dis on anyone unless you have concrete proof that he is what you are saying he is. If you do not have the proof then SHUT THE F UP.

  • No, you are just retarded. Obama wants to renew the god damn PATRIOT Act. Are you aware of what that is? It basically takes our bill of rights and takes a tremendous shit on it. All the government has to do is say you're a terrorist, which isn't all that hard, since the definition of what a terrorist was changed to be able to be used in nearly any situation. This country is going straight to the shitter, and you people are going to keep voting in Republicans and Democrats.

  • Where the F did u get that explanation ? FROM UR @SS? or did u do any research? HOW is Obama taking our Patriot Act? Do u have a proof. There is a proof that Bush did. under marshal law. it took control over 4 of our constitution one is to spy without a warrent there are 3 more. AND THATS THE FACT. And we dont have any other choice its either republican or democrat. if i had diff option i would have voted other.

  • Obama is renewing the PATRIOT Act. Obama is no better than Bush, I can't believe that you are blind to that.  He is making the same "mistakes" that Bush made... i.e. not pulling the troops out of Iraq, helped give the companies bailout money etc.

    Believe what you want, I'm done arguing with you.

  • Ok this is where u become dumb ret@rd. Do u think pulling troops out of iraq is so easy that u can do it overnight? if u think that then u are dumb ret@rd. And Bush gave the first bailout to the companies and then he made it so that obama had to give wallstreet and banks bailout. I do agree that it was mistake on Obama's part to give bailout to car companies. I am against that. Get ur facts right man. If u watch FOX News for facts then ur fact will be 100% wrong.

  • No but Bush said something about pulling troops out of Iraq back in what, like 2006 or 2007, and what is it now? 2009, nearing 2010, and we're sending MORE in? That is called fucking lying. There are no mistakes being made by our government causing this to happen, they want to stay in Iraq to PROFIT. Pulling out would be detrimental to the defense contractors, oil company, and bank's profits.

  • Also, where in the constitution do you see that congress has the right and full power to give our tax money, our HARD EARNED MONEY to private companies that exist purely for profit?

    The companies don't need a bailout. They could avoid failing simply by cutting spending, but instead they insist on spending more and giving bonuses to employees. As a matter of fact, when the bailouts expire I bet you they will come back and ask for MORE of our money at the end of this month.

  • First yes government did gave bailout money to private companies. 2nd i was against bailing out auto industry because it was irrelevant to bail them out. if they fall we didn't had that much damage to our economy. 3rd President bush's white house gave first 700 billion blank check bailout money. Not Obama. but i was against Obama when he gave bailout to auto industry. 4th Obama didnt gave bonuses to thise rich corporation it was timithy guidner (SPELLING ERROR) he need to get fired.

  • *Timothy

    I realize that, but those companies should have never gotten my money in the first place. I should be the one getting the bonuses dammit!!!! lol

  • What the hell do you mean "renew"? The Patriot Act has never been retracted nor amended and even if Obama amended it, it obviously would be for the better because in no way could it get any worse than the current context.

  • It was signed into law October 26, 2001.  I believe they took it off the books but there is pretty good evidence that Obama is looking to reinstate it.

  • What? An Act is never off the books, it just takes an specific event to enforce it. I'm Independent, and apparently you are too, however, I've read a couple of your comments and can see that you don't process political reality thoroughly. Spending is an absolute necessity for a President, it's about what he/she spends it on. If you understood our monetary system you would clearly see that bailing out an investor bank is wrong, bailing out an auto company is acceptable because it provides (cont.)

  • (cont) tangible economic stimulus. It can be acceptable to bail out a bank if there's Govt oversight, accountability and clauses to repay with interest. The Bush admin didn't enforce that, hence the Exec bonuses; that changed under Obama. There's allot of Left vs Right finger pointing but the blatant truth is that the corporate Right took major advantage of a 30 year old Left program. To say that Obama lied about our troops coming home is false, while campaigning he said Aug. of 2010 (cont)

  • (cont) let alone if the circumstances change then so do our foreign policies accordingly. After 8 years of failed policies with no preventative maintenance, it was inevitable that our economy would collapse in the trail of our devalued dollar caused by hyper inflation to pay for a treasonous war. Obama is doing exactly what should have been done gradually in the last decade, SSI, defense and Healthcare are the #1 expenses of the Govt, the time is now! Stop echoing Right wing lobbyist propaganda

  • its important to note that Bush Jr. handed out more corporate welfare than ANY other president.

  • @Mephistonia He also lined his family & friends pockets at the expense of American lives.

  • Rush Limbaugh is the only clear cut leader of these clowns now. They are so doomed. About time - Thank God the people finally caught on to the hard-to-grasp concept that things in this country won't get any better by throwing more money at the wealthy.

  • I'm dissapointed. I was expecting more factual evidence. Several of your "100" examples were "alleged" and not proven. Just because someone is accused does not mean they did, or at least that is normally the American Standard. There were also several examples of pork and favors that are questionable. I'll agree with these types of examples if they're applied equally to all congressmen, regardless of party I don't consider myself Republican or Democrat, more concrete evidence would be nice.

  • Hiwatt,I agree. the Repubs are the biggest whiners and hypocrites in the country.

  • I would agree. All they do is sit around and bitch that a liberal stole the conservatives job.

  • The biggest problem facing the GOP today is insistence on such lock-step conformity and worry more about what Limbaugh thinks than what is good for the country. They actively block initiatives like universal health care and call it "socialism", but have no problem with big government programs like the Department of Homeland Security and fascist acts like the USA Patriot Act. I didn't agree with him on issues, but I found Ron Paul interesting. More like him and less like Gingrich would do well.

  • The decay of the GOP came when Rush Limbaugh took over the party, labeled everyone who disagreed with him a "liberal" (so what?), and when the GOP became so concerned with doctrinal purity that the likes of Ann Coulter are listened to but both John and Lincoln Chafee are called "RINO's". I remember Republicans like Jerry Ford, a good and decent man. I have corresponded with Sen. Richard Lugar, R-IN, and he is also a good and decent man who can accept it when someone disagrees with him.

  • I am a Democrat with a mixed voting record: Reagan, Dukakis, Clinton, Clinton (almost Perot), GW Bush, Kerry, and will be Obama this year. I found this video honest and thought-provoking. I refuse to demonize all Republicans, because I have personally known too many of them to tar them all with the same brush. However, I think they are currently irredeemably corrupt, and if the name "Republican" is to continue to be applied to a party, there needs to be a schism.

  • Great idea!!But your ship is too slow. Put a motor on it. You had a good idea, but you muffed it by being too slow, self indulgent.YOu took two minutes to even start - and your graphics sucked. I bet you didnt get 100 people to sit thru it all. Toooooo sloooooo and 8th gradish.

  • Angry Republican,

    Are you sure you're a Republican?  Republicans aren't supposed to acknowledge truth...

  • Good One !!!

  • I'm glad he is.

  • McClellan just ratted out Bush, Rove, and Chaney for exposing undercover CIA agent Valery Plame's identity to the press.

    How is Bush NOT a traitor?

    Thanks for posting. Impressive compilation.

  • May good Republicans like you take over your party!

    Frankly, the whole nation is starving for candidates who are simply honest decent human beings....and there are good folks on both sides of the ideological divide.

    The core of this problem is the way we finance our campaigns with legalized bribery.

  • 1,2,3 and from group 4 those who commit massacres liek Haditha, Fallujah, kunduz Road ect... + Tommy Franks, Miller ect...

  • and speaking of Ignorance this video is false and there are pleanty of things that the GOP has suceeded in doing for the better unfortunitly no one will be satisfied to name anything and i will only be called a lier for that matter and have no patience nor the care to respond to a few extreamist who are infuriated by this and will send me hate comments, so i shall say good bye to you all and good night

  • Name one thing the Republicans did right.

  • let each man speak his views on how corrupt the government is and then let each man speak how he thinks the pony hes betting on is invulnerble to corruption, you guys want a man that cares about the needs of everyone, you want a man that will do everything right, Vote Saint Nikolaos into office, the problom with Politics is that its human. that being said i take the lesser of the two evils and vote Repulican, im sure ill be cricified for this one lol

  • having different views is one thing, complete lies and slander is an entirley differant catagory, your ludacris acusations embaress yourself, bad vrey,

  • Whoa, now you just hold on there young man.

    Answer me this "Is theAngryRepublican lying?"

  • One more lie. AngryRepublican is not now, nor was he ever a Republican.

  • Sorry. At first you had me because I abhor corruption, ESPECIALLY under "color of law". But then you had Libby in there, and the worst corruption is using politics and tax payers money to derail someone for NOTHING when the 'real' criminals aren't even on trial in this case!I'm a disenchanted republican, but there are corrupt democrats, and you should admit what you are.

  • A) Libby perjured himself in an attempt to cover up for the administration. I think that is a crime worthy of a jail sentence, even if Cheney is deserving of far worse.

    B) I know that there are corrupt democrats. Maybe I will make that PP some day. But the GOP had it much worse at the time. Watchdog groups had 21 of the top 25 corrupt congressmen and senators as GOP.

    C) "Admit what I am"?

  • For C, I was elluding to that I felt you were a Democrat since you were so adament to spend millions going after Libby, (Clinton's did FAR, FAR, worse), and said NOTHING about going after the lies and inconsistencies that the 'top secret' CIA agent and her husband have not had to answer for.

  • Did your last SN get booted?

    In terms of cost-benefit, I don't see it as a waste to attempt to prosecute government corruption and enforce the laws. The inefficiencies that corruption creates at all levels warrants strict enforcement.

  • I don't know what SN means, but regarding your comments re: prosecuting government corruption, I pretty much spend 24/7 trying to expose and stop government corruption and get laws enforced. It is so corrupt, that all agencies from AG's, to DOJ won't do a thing about it so I'm incredulously indignent on the money wasted on Libby when so much more blatant corruption goes unchecked and outright covered up for.

  • Well, you fight corruption where and when you can. You shouldn't stop fishing just because the big one got away.

  • i'm a republican. ron paul is the answer.

  • the big 1 "lobbying" always gets away because enough of the population is stupid enough to swallow their media brainwashing while another segment that's actually aware that big business is out to stick it to them every way they can & that politicians are their lapdogs are either too lazy to fight back or too wishy washy "group hug" types who think good intentions & polite discourse can ever defeat the ORGANIZED forces of evil & their soldiers who take PRIDE in calling themselves "dittoheads"

  • the forces of big business are SO successful, you don't even hear their name mentioned in debates like this! they play the shell game so well that they're virtually invisible. everyone's so caught up at pointing their fingers at politicians (the paid fall guys) that they never seek to go after the root of their corruption.

    FOLLOW THE MONEY!

    even if it were possible to get an honest 3rd PARTY candidate in office to clean house, he''d only get "kennedyed" for his insolence anyways.

  • democrats are corporate whores too. obama talked all kinds of game about fixing the system & has done about exactly nothing to that end. apparently his idea of "socializing medicine" (like 90%+ of the rest of the world with higher healthcare standards) is meeting behind closed doors with pharmaceutical companies and putting a gun to the public's head forcing them to kneel before insurance companies instead of kicking both "out of the loop".

    BOTH parties are corrupt & the REAL enemy is LOBBYING!

  • Republicans lost in 2006 because most folks couldn't tell the difference.

  • good ideas should lead, not corrupt politicians...

  • like the british tory party,full of fuckin shit

  • Never fear Ron Paul is here!

  • Republicans talk a lot of b.S.

    I hate all that republicans stand for, those greedy pigs have to stop messing up our country and the world. They have spat on the American dream and tried to change American ideals... They have left the poor to rot and waged wars which profit the wealthy... they do tax cuts for the rich, and make great strives at benefiting their friends at the expense of the American people... Greed must be removed from politics.

  • Greed will never be removed from politics. The problem is the people that is drawn to politics will be people that care about how much power they have. Like you will see pedos going to teaching, church or family services to be by kids. You can not get rid of it.

  • The first case of 'corruprtion' was when N.Carolina Republican Gov. William Woods Holden fought the Democrat's KKK by declaring martial law, he called out the militia and suspended habeus corpus. Democrats later got control of the state legislature and had Holden impeached in 1870.

  • Where are you getting your info and are you serious? Are you still in 10th grade history and have you not gotten past the Reconstruction yet? Are you aware that partisan alignments can, do, and have changed in the past century and a half?

  • Even if these claims were true, I can still make the point that the Democratic party should be abolished and it's leaders executed for racial and political atrocities. Huh...howboutthat!

  • State your case. No raw emotion, just an intellectual argument for that statement.

  • In 1870, June 22 I believe, President Ulysses S Grant(R) expanded the Atty General's office into the Dept. of Justice for the purpose, in part ,of protecting black citizens from the Democrat party's terrorist wing, the KKK.

  • Angry Republican is a demagouge and a phony. The problem Democrats have with Republicans is entirely Civil Rights. Repbulicans passed the 13th, 14th,+ 15th ammendments and every civil rights act. Democrats have always opposed civil rights, their record is atrocious.

  • Since a Pink Floyd song was used, I will use another to make an important point. 'Us and Them' This brandishing and namecalling in this country and around the world should stop. The great divide between R & D is an illusion. We are living in a two-party dictatorship as far as I can tell.  A serious move to 3rd & 4th parties needs to be made.

  • Democrats today inflict the same oppression on black people that they did while they were inflicting slavery...poverty. They hate Republicans for putting a stop to slavery and segregation, and for proving that black people can thrive in a democracy without their condescending bigotry welfare state. The Democratic Party should have been abolished in 1865. They formed the KKK in 1866 to attack Republican Conventions, not just black people. This is not a joke, Democrats are creeps.

  • I have trouble believing that this is not a joke. If it isn't, then you need to read a bit more about it.

  • I remember a saying they used to use in the wild west no it wasn't "wanted dead or alive" it was "Tar and Feather these mofos! and rail road em outa town" But I'm not American, so hey just an observation.

  • nice vid but that 99% you spoke about it the world outside Americas hubris.

  • great video man!!!

  • I think we can agree that both the Democratic and Republican parties are somewhat Plutocratic, but the Republican party is more oligarchic because they have a more solid base, which allows them to govern further to the right without any concessions to the majority of the people. No single minority group represents that solid a base for Democrats so they are forced to govern towards the middle.

  • Secondly I will cite the War on Iraq, which if it were any kind of manly exercise would be conducted in the light of day. Especially insofar as it concerns the contracts that are awarded for "rebuilding." You would think that getting Iraqis back to work and preventing civil unrest would have been the US's first priority, but it was not.

  • you must of course realize that the democratic party is nearly identical to the republican party in terms of accumulated wealth. Both parties of our two party system represent the wealthiest elite, not Chrisitan ideals, not civil liberties, not workers, not women, nothing other than their own ability to maintian power and wealth.

  • your still very defensive you should know that what your saying is not true! we are all waiting for you to help make this a better place, and dont know why you defend something bad so!!! I know your not a bad person or maybe you dont want to believe it! their bad people im sorry! jesus is reaching.

  • I knew there were some sane and more importantly reasonable Republicans still around, nice video

  • Today is the start of a new era for US. We are seeing good things from good people of the US. - from Malaysia.

  • Wow, I'm watching CNN, Dems may take BOTH houses... wow. Literally, wow.

  • They've done it, brotha!!!  Macacca's been shitcanned! Happy days!!!

  • Looks like things are finally looking up! I can only hope the Dems get the country back on track.

    Drinks are on me!

  • I shared this with at least 20 people. Nice job.

  • EXCELLENT video series! You have inspired me to take action, and that's a big deal cause I'm a depressed loser. I have transcribed all 3 videos and will try to start some kind of local club for the purpose in part to do something about corruption, from middle-management burger nazis, to top ranking govt and corporate officials, US BENEVOLENT PEOPLE NEED TO TAKE THE POWER!

  • i live in r-ny john sweeneys district. fyi, he voted yes to raises for himself 8 times, no to increasing health benefits and wage increases for those in the military, and supports the "war" in iraq all the way. tell your friends.

  • Actually, EVERY SINGLE REPUBLICAN has preformed worse that the democrats with regards to troop and veteran's benefits. It's really pretty sad.

  • yes, it is. not that all democrats are free and clear either, but...

  • Good video.

  • Honestly, I have to agree with Hans47 here. You have to look at the big economic picture: war is good for the economy, but we are in long term trouble. This debt is not going away anytime soon, and this housing bubble is about to burst. Also: China is slowly buying us.

    I'm sorry that we can't motivate you, I don't really know of any examples of politicians being paid off to do favors for "Big Design Business". But that doesn't mean that you are not affected

  • Thr Founding Fathers are spinning in their graves. I am definitely not a political expert/historian but if my memory serves me correctly I believe that H. Ross Perot's message was on-target.

  • Checks and balances will correct the system. I will vote today, but as far as I know, all my incumbents are clean. As far as China goes, there was a guy named Bill Clinton who helped speed us towards that grim future.

  • Clinton & Halliburton:

    When the US joined NATO forces in the Balkans in '95, KBR was deployed to the Balkans. KBR lost a second five-year LOGCAP contract—awarded to DynCorp in 1997— after the General Accounting Office reported in February 1997 that KBR had overrun its estimated costs in the Balkans by 32 percent (some of which was attributed to an increase in the Army's demands). Despite this, KBR was awarded a new [Balkan] contract that ran through May '99.

  • 0k, only 95 more examples to go! You're doing great!

    Also, by dividing this government we can do a lot to stem corruption. It's not about either party, it's about both parties being forced to cooperate. Their animosity towards each other results in a more open government for the people. I want them fighting each other so that neither can initiate their radical agendas.

    Legislating from the middle may be dull to some (i.e. Carl Rove), but I MISS those days.

  • I totally agree.

  • I really liked this video. Party lines aside, I think transparency is really important when keeping tabs on what our legislators are doing in office. Good work.

  • I'm not arguing with you. However, I run a successful design business. Business has never been better. My clients are all prospering. I don't see or feel negative impact from crooked politicians. Crooked corporations are my biggest complaint...

  • Huh? So as long as business is good for you it's O.K. for thieves to steal money and behave unethically? Hopefully you are NOT a parent or acting as a role model to anyone. You are a nimrod.

  • Where did i say it was OK? (nimrod?)

  • Since there's NOTHING I can do to prevent corruption (and don't say "vote Democrat")- I do my part for society by providing good work for many people, raising honest kids, and donating to charities that directly affect my family. I let the system weed out the crooks, and until they actually rip ME off..it's somebody elses problem.

  • How is it "somebody else's problem" if our tax money is being stolen by crooked pols regardless of the political party? I criticized you b/c if everyone is passive then the entire country goes down the tube. This is everyone's problem. You can write protest letters or vote the incumbent repub out of office and replace him/her with another repub. Doing nothing is passing the buck.

  • Strangely, others do.

  • As well, so much of this corruption stems from the fact the GOP controls everything. We'd be better off as a nation if the Dems controlled something. Right now, 50% of Americans have exactly 0% of the say in this government. The GOP actively locks them out and refuses to discuss policy with them. They can't be honorable, so we the people need to put the checks and balances back in place.

  • Side note: California Democratic Sen. Diane Fienstein's husband is majority shareholder (75%) of the Perini Corp. They have a $2.5 Billion Contract in Iraq. I'm tired of hearing it's all Cheney/Halliburton. She serves on the Appropriations Committee.

  • Ok, now just cite 98 more examples. I'll give you a head start: Jefferson and Sandy Berger.

    You don't get it: YES there are a few democrats who are dirty, on the take, and ignorant, just like in the GOP. However, it's a question of degrees. The GOP is INCREDIBLY corrupt. Not just that, but they are the laziest congress in HISTORY. They've ignored their duties to checks and balances, and their spending policies are atrocious. They aren't fiscally responsible, they just cut taxes.

  • Yeah, I know. The democrats are not angels. But compared to Hastert? Reid's failure to report was an ethics violation, yes, but the crime was civilian in nature, much like Gary Miller falsely reporting eminent domain tax exemption on 3 land deals that netted him $10 million. Hastert and Calvert, however, used LEGISLATIVE powers to increase personal land value. That is much worse, in my opinion, because they are getting rich at OUR expense.

  • Democratic Leader Senator Harry Reid violated Senate ethics rules when he failed to report a real estate transaction that netted him $1.1 million in 2004 for property he had sold three years earlier.

  • It's safe to say that the crookedness envelopes both parties. However, as a whole.. Democrats have no where near displayed the blatant negligence, scandal and corruption that the Republicans have these last 6 years.

  • Thank goodness. A republican who isn't blinded by their own party's rhetoric and sound bites. Give us back the republican party that Reagan led.

  • total pro.

  • Nice to see not every republican is the kind of asshole i'm used to know
