Thank you, but it was my previous three messages that were censored reminding us how politicians are all the same regardless the party affiliation. I am reminded by the $90,000 in the freezer. And let us not forget a president who went by the initials LBJ, the draft years and oh yes, Vietnam! The point is, all politicians are the same and nothing ever changes because of one party or another.
I find it interesting and very telling how all my conservative comments have consistently been edited out and never posted. This kind of selective censorship smacks of a little hypocrisy wouldn't you say? I know this too will not be posted but at least the hypocrit who has censored my opposing comments will see it!! Are you proud now?
This double post may suggest to you that it's a YouTube refresh problem, not my editing posts. The only posts I remove are the obvious hater posts that are racist or mean spirited.
Also note above comments by kepr1, and dustinsiskey. They weren't edited or removed and they disagreed with me. I welcome conservative views and have them myself- just not neo-conservative...

My only hope is that all of America will truly see just how bad we've been betrayed and that one day my children will read in history books just how much of an evil,anti-american,un-patriotic,fascist dictator Bush really is. And that goes for all of our enemy's in the Bush regime or supporters of that regime.(O'reilly,Hannity, or any other person that has the audacity to think they can deprive any american of there RIGHTS.
Yeah, I went out and voted. Decided to do the protest vote thing this time. As usual, every republican on the ballot won by more than 60% in all of my districts, except for the governor. But I'm glad the dems have the majority now. Maybe real problems will get dealt with instead of having the neocons just make them up.
I do not see how democrats have the reputation of failing to defend this country. Do you people really believe what the Neo-Con tell you? Some of the greatest military leaders of our time have been dems. Dont let the party fool you.
What is it you support so strongly exactly? The welfare, the murder of babies, the gay marriage? Or are you just a fan of the deconstrution of a moral society in general?
I support your right to believe and say what you want. I support freedom and individualism and believe they allow the creativity necessary to solve any problem that comes up. I support people who care about people more than money and power. I support critical thinking and exploration and don't support blind faith. That just a few of the things I support...
Thank you RR!!! I believe your sincerity, common sense and voice of reasoning struck us all and we showed up! A big THANKS to your efforts! Now please continue to be the voice of reason and sanity even though the democrates have taken back the house. You know they need watching too...
For the congressmen, I voted for the libertarian, for attorney general I voted for the democrat, for the governor I voted for the republican, all rational choices based on the facts. My guess is that all the dems are going to do nothing but raise taxes on American citizens. Let's see how it turns out.
you did some good stuff last few months. hope you can work on some of the texans in your back yard too. Bible in one hand and a shiv in the other. Anyway, thanks for the vlogs. goin' out country now. will talk later.
yeah great...have you heard all of the terrorists' reaction to the election...you and bin laden now have something in common...you want democrats in office. you actually used the word vigilant. democrats are anything but. dems think that because they have control of congress that the war of terror is over...we are in trouble
kepr, it's really evident you've never read OBL's speeches. His plan is to bleed US out man by man, $ by $. And it's working perfectly because of sycophants like you, bud.
Read HW Bushs article "Why We Didn't Remove Saddam"...it's prophetic to the word.
kepr1, please save the rhetoric for somewhere else. ReluntantRedneck obviously gives real thought to these issues before he speaks his mind. Stop regurgitating Bill O'Reilly hatespeech and think for yourself. Despite what he (O'Reilly) will tell you, "the terrorists" don't care either way who's in office here -- they will still keep on doing what they're doing. As for "the war of terror" being over, whoever made that claim?
Yay! Hooray that electronic voting is not killing democracy! Yay for absentee ballots for people like me. You're very well spoken and have refreshing opinions. Keep up the good work.
Its a wonderful feeling indeed. Let us hope the Democrats use their power much more wisely then those they defeated did. Keep on speaking for the middle, its far more refreshing than the rhetoric from either of the extremes.
Proudly voted Webb in Virginia. Feels great to have some success, but the Republicans got voted out because they did nothing. Democrats have a long way to go to prove themselves...
Your right. Now we got to role up our sleaves and actually do some good work. Its two years, and some folks are going to play dirty. I was proud to be part of the great change. Keep it coming man!
Yes...it was a good day to 'thump' the republican party. It needed to be done...I've even heard republicans say this. The stranglehold on a society by one party is not a good thing, and luckily there were enough people this time to see it! Too bad it wasn't realized in 2004. But hey, time to move on, hopefully with more love, and a greater positive attitude.
What we need more than anything else is honest politicians who will serve the electorate, not special interests. I'm glad to see the neo-cons reigned in a bit, but true victory has not come this day.
It was nice to see your happy face---it reflected all of the happy faces that were looking at you. You have the attitude and countenance of normal reason. Keep it on boy.
DOn't sit on your laurals yet, my friend! I don't trust the new guard any more than the old guard!!! Not as far as I can throw 'em. We're still in Iraq...we're still leaking money to rip-off corps like Haliburton....we're still giving away our country to the lowest bidders.
We have to stay alert. Bush did seem sincere at his press conference but he unfortunately used up all my trust. He has no more "capital" with me. I never trusted Cheney - ever. I do think the Republicans would like their party back that has been hijacked by the NeoCons. I think there might be some cooperation now between Dems and GOP since in 2008, 21 Repubublican Senators are up for re-election. I'm sure they don't want a repeat of this sweep. So let's all stay in touch....
Tony, thanks for your work. You represent a lot of us, and those who disagree will surely respect your honesty. Now we can expect some good old fashion dog fights over issues in our govenment, not this neocon bulldozeing over crap. So keep your comments going over the change in our direction. Your Vlog keeps our democracy healthy. Alway look forward to your take on the issues.
we in Thailand appreciate everything you contributed to this "intervention". DON'T STOP reshaping your future now Tony. Keep it up. Chronicle the entire healing process.
Too bad Pelosi and Dean have already ruled out impeachment. I bet the military commisions act, and the illegal wiretapping continue, as long as Bush throws the Dems a few bones.
Tony, what happened in colorado :(?? Ya'll were so close to allowing civil unions. That would have been amazing!
But yea what good political battle!I just hope we are really heading back to this notion of "compromising"... you know that idea they used to do way back when in the 1700s and 1800s.
Tony, I hope you know that issues like gay marriage, abortion, and other minor social issues were (are) used as dividing tactics, and were in fact unhealthy for our ballots, and our democracy. They should be voted on in other minor elections, not mid-term or presidential elections.
What happens is, the power-churches rally their entire congregations, load them onto buses, and tell them to "vote against gay civil unions", etc...and as they load them all onto the bus to take them to the polls, they tell them all to vote straight ticket Republican. This tactic played a BIG part in keeping YOUR state of Colorado, red, Tony.
You're right. First of all as I have said before - if the churches want to be political lobbyists they should lose their nonprofit status and start paying taxes. not Secondly we are a big country and what flies in NYC may not fly in Maine etc. Let the states decide but keep it out of the national elections.
Tony, it was GREAT!!! Now we are on the road to reason. I feel that Nancy Polosi is going to "drain the swamp" Significently, the dems did not lose one house seat, which means that the voters really knew what they were doing. The entire world is watching and cheering along with us. You are correct that we must Remain Vigilant. We can't let this happen atain, with people like you here to help, I feel we can keep it going.
None of my coworkers voted (ack!) and a bunch of stuff in TN passed that is anti-freedom IMO (i.e. ban on gay marriage) but on the national level, a bit of relief.
I sent that message twice to make sure you would post it.
