MSNBC: The Republicans are living on another planet

[seikowarrior90210]

Well, when Ant &Deck were performing that "alien autopsy" the alien was Obama wasn't it!?

Because he ( Obama ) won't let anyone see his birth certificate. LoL lmfao

[nickrambus]

What makes MSNBC so special is, you have dumb & ignorant hosts with dumb & ignorant guests, saying dumb & ignorant things, to dumb & ignorant viewers, who are too dumb & ignorant to realize how dumb & ignorant the people they are watching really are !!

[kippytx]

do you think the current system is fair when those in office are put there by funding from interest groups and corporations. And can and do decide to vote themselves pay raises and days off. All the while doing absolutely nothing!! Really--we are all hurting and it seems all government wants to do is fight. The richest better enjoy it while it lasts --this keeps up and our country won't survive.

[TheStormyleewolf]

It is the Illuminati behind this, they are ramping up the pressure to have a one world government, and a one world economy, I thought it was greed, but it is not for it is just one excuse they made to do this thing. You can see it plastered all over the internet if you look. Also the police Abuse to OWS, to just them trying to hurry OWS along to the idea. They know police Abuse really helps the movement, because it just draws more attention. A one world economy and GOV, is what they want.

[ChipArgyle]

It's terrifying that a political party will sacrifice its very country in its attempts to undo the party in power.

The human need for power over others at all costs and our bred to the bone greed characteristic are the two things that will end our species.

[WAXstudios]

@ChipArgyle I agree with you, but then why won't Obama stand down in the election?

[ChipArgyle]

@WAXstudios Need for power. Why not try to stay on top for another four years? The Republicans still haven't fielded a reasonable leadership candidate in my opinion. It's a panel of nuts at the moment. Palin would have fit right in. Romney might have made it if it weren't for his Mormon background. Gingrich will say anything to anyone to get what he wants. He's the scariest of the bunch.

[WAXstudios]

@ChipArgyle Yeah, but anyone of them is better than Obama. At least Gingrich is experienced. Obama was a Senator. You're not in charge of anything as a senator; you state your opinion, and then you vote on it. As the President, most of what you do is for you to decide. Gingrich was the speaker of the house.

[WAXstudios]

@ChipArgyle not trying to ram you into the ground or anything here, but literally nothing Obama has done has worked! Solyndra, Obamacare. He is a liar! He says at the beginning of his campaign, he wants to bring the troops out of Iraq. I personally thought he shouldn't anyway, but when you fall back on what you say, it takes away from your credibility. He said it was time for change, but he didn't tell us it was going to be for the worse.

[ChipArgyle]

@WAXstudio I see you misinterpreted my original comment. The party that's been sacrificing its country for the past term is the Republicans. No cooperation or bending on anything. Willing to hold their breath until the country turns blue. This past term has really shown that the POTUS is little more than a figurehead anyway; someone to pin all blame on. All politicians lie. Gingrich is worse than Obama. No integrity whatsoever. He's been caught on camera saying he'll say anything.

[iiiears]

Between 9 - 15 percent congressional approval rating and they aren't afraid.

I hope they keep it up. We can make a clean sweep of them in 2016.

[OrwellsDaughter]

Sorry to say, Mr. Sanders, but the Democrats are no different. IF there's no one willing to step up to the plate to run against the lying scumbag shyster 'bama, I won't be voting for the first time in my life.

[americanfellow]

Republicans do act pretty alien. i do know that they're no friends to the 99% of us but they do have the best interests at heart for the 1% who they really represent, it's clear they don't even represent the very people who voted them into office. they are just bought and paid for by the 1% too rich and that's who Republicans are beholden to - no one else.

you should be running for president bernie.

[chicarbiomed]

If only more of our leaders actually gave a damn about the people and not the corporations...

[MirageScience]

taxation is theft

[TylerThrashPeace]

@MirageScience then you should to a third world country that doesnt have taxation. See for yourself.

[MirageScience]

@TylerThrashPeace Or first world countries should be come more civilized, as they claim they are. I love how you go straight to the love it or leave is argument, you aren't afraid to show to readers just how stupid the argument is by clouding it with more bullshit. Almost everyone on the internet today know just how stupid your statement is. It excludes any other possibilities of coming at the problem.

[TylerThrashPeace]

@MirageScience A country with no taxation would not be able to be a country. There would be no governemnt. You would have no defense, no nothing.

[MirageScience]

@TylerThrashPeace While that is a common belief, I would disagree completely. People benefit from living in a stable, secure, and law abiding society and would as they today want such a thing. Just because you or my imagination can not produce all the sufficient systems to produced all of the services or goods produced by a state, which has the ability to tax people, does not mean such systems could not be thought up by other people. I'm guess you think a state is necessary to protect rights?

[MirageScience]

@TylerThrashPeace If you do hold that a state is a necessary evil for protecting the rights of individuals, then I would kindly point you to the antistatist community on YouTube which have produced many many videos covering this objections and others like it. A few of my favorite video producers would be JacobSpinny, - who now has a blog - Fringe Elements, and Spawk Talk - who is no longer an antistatist but has older videos which would agree with antistatism - .

[GreatBigBore]

Hmm, I lost my home after three years of unemployment. This new plan would not have helped me, and presumably will not help anyone else who's unemployed or underemployed.

[nextdrink45]

What these two boneheads don't know is that the Reps are all for jobs, infrastructure projects, etc. But when this stuff is brought up in bills, it has all kind of other CRAP attached to it by the dumbass DemoCRAPs which equal even MORE spending that we cannot afford!!!!

Once the DemoCRAPs learn how to live within their means, then and only then, can this country get back on track!!!!!

Newsflash for DemoCRAPs!!! Don't spend more than you take in!!!!!

[misfit1201]

Let's see if the Republicans hang themselves

[justcallmeassinine]

@misfit1201 I think that they already have done that.. But i have been wrong before, Love to see Bernie gain a position of influence nationwide,but I would not want him to throw the election to the GOP,as was done when Kerry ran against Bush and Nader Independents gave the lead to the GOP...or was it Gore ? Seems like ancient history now but if the 99% does not remember the lesson, the election will go to the party of the corporations again.

[bushonomics]

Well said, Bernie!

[judyleasugar97]

If Bush could take us into two Wars for the benefit of big oil and Haliburton without Congressional approval, Obama can do something to help the American people without them! The hell with the Republicans!

[luvcheney1]

@judyleasugar97 Judy, are you mistaken here, or just lying? Afghanistan approved by Congress, "Public Law 107-40", and Iraq by "Public Law No: 107-243". BTW, nobody is getting any oil for free out of Iraq. It is selling at market prices, where anyone can buy oil at that price, at any time.

[judyleasugar97]

@luvcheney1: Bush misled Congress and violated HJR114. He should have been impeached. And Haliburton profited from the wars too. You know Haliburton company was about to go bankrupt just before the invasion of Iraq? Now they're doing just fine. Something to think about.

[luvcheney1]

@judyleasugar97 Bush mislead nobody. These are Clinton`s words, and dozens of other prominent Libs said the same thing."Wednesday, December 16, 1998 CLINTON: Earlier today, I ordered America’s armed forces to strike military and security targets in Iraq. They are joined by British forces. Their mission is to attack Iraq’s nuclear, chemical and biological weapons programs" Nobody says he lied. Halliburton had suits to settle on asbestos. Its business was/is sound, Clinton, Obama hire Hal too. So?

[luvcheney1]

@judyleasugar97 Besides Judy, you said, "Bush could take us into two Wars for the benefit of big oil and Haliburton without Congressional approval", which is a lie. Congress approved War. Both Clintons, Gore, Kennedy, Kerry, Pelosi all on record about Iraq`s WMD without Bush "lying", because they made these statements even before he was in office! Bush Admin statements were same as most Dems. 

[judyleasugar97]

@luvcheney1 Bush lied to Congress, and the terms of HJR114 were violated. We were deceived. THE WORST PRESIDENT EVER.

[luvcheney1]

@judyleasugar97 Notice you avoid the fact so many agreed with Bush, until the war was politically unpopular.

[judyleasugar97]

@luvcheney1: You think people going along with something because they were lied to is agreeing with it? Yet another example of how the Republicans are living on another planet.

[luvcheney1]

@judyleasugar97 You pretend nobody ever said a word before Bush elected. Bush became President in Jan 2001. There are scores of quotes from Democrats such as Clinton, Kerry, Gore, Kennedy, Albright, Pelosi, etc a couple years before Bush was President, very concerned with Saddam Hussien`s WMD programs, biological, nuclear, chemical. Those beliefs, before Bush, had nothing to do with Bush Administration. UN not getting cooperation from Saddam either, as per agreement to end first gulf war.

[judyleasugar97]

@luvcheney1: We were deceived about WMD's.

So why didn't we invade North Korea? Their nuclear weapons program is . . . Oh wait, no oil there. Hmmm.

[luvcheney1]

@judyleasugar97 OK, lets assume we were deceived about WMD`s. By who? Bush`s views were very consistent with UN, our Nato allies intelligence agencies, most Dem politicians too. So, WHO deceived us? All those famous, responsible, wonderful Dems too, or we pretend the world started the day Bush came into office, and nothing happened previously?

[judyleasugar97]

@luvcheney1: That's a good question. WHY DID the CIA deceive the American public about WMD's? It would seem there was a corrupt influence that reached all the way into the CIA to get that war started. If you want to see who's behind something, look at who benefits.

[luvcheney1]

@judyleasugar97 It wasnt the CIA by itself, so this entire premise of yours is false. The UN, and the intelligence units of the UK, and our NATO allies all agreed on the threats of Iraq`s WMD programs. You want Halliburton to be at the center of this, when it does business in 70 different nations. It also opened another world center outside of the US, it is not dependent on US Govt business. Even so, Clinton, Obama Admins know Hal saves taxpayers money, thats why they hire them.

[judyleasugar97]

@luvcheney1: They were deceived by the CIA. It began with the false report of the CIA.

[luvcheney1]

@judyleasugar97 Are you really unaware that Saddam was deceiving the UN inspectors all along? That we would have known the truth, IF he was obeying the mandate of the UN all along, to allow inspections, by the terms of his surrender during 1st Gulf war? Saddam`s motivation was to keep Iran afraid of what he had in WMD`s. Iraq war had Bush admin threaten Hussein to not use WMD, or suffer nuking. Our men had gas masks issued, heavy planning to fight in bio and chemical war. That was the belief.

[judyleasugar97]

@luvcheney1: The idea there were WMD's came from the CIA. And yet when we invaded Iraq there were no WMD'.s. Hmmm . . .the CIA lied . . .

[luvcheney1]

@judyleasugar97 You do know that the CIA is an american unit, and the rest of the world also has its own intelligence, which thought the same thing? As well, as the UN? Dont be silly. AND if the CIA lied, that is wy Clinton lied? Kennedy? Pelosi? Gore? Kerry? Or just Bush?

[judyleasugar97]

@luvcheney1: They all got misleading information from the CIA. Sheesh, how many times do I have to say it? Besides, this is off the subject of this video.

[luvcheney1]

@judyleasugar97 You are the one brought up the subject, by lying and stating Bush didnt have Congressional Approval. Then you accuse him of deceiving the public. Now, you cover all the Dems who said the same stuff, before Bush, as being deceived by the CIA, even though many in the world agreed too. You ran and ran and now prefer to drop the subject. I would too, your position is silly, although common among Libs.

[judyleasugar97]

@luvcheney1: Bush did deceive the public. Duh. How are Democrats responsible for acting on misinformation? You sound like a child.

[luvcheney1]

@judyleasugar97 These words, by Clinton, before Bush Admin, "Wednesday, December 16, 1998 CLINTON: Earlier today, I ordered America’s armed forces to strike military and security targets in Iraq. They are joined by British forces. Their mission is to attack Iraq’s nuclear, chemical and biological weapons programs." If Iraq WMD`s were misinformation, Dems acted on it as well. To the point of BOMBING.

[judyleasugar97]

@luvcheney1: There's a difference between warning strikes and going to war. Clinton didn't go to war. He didn't cost the country trillions of dollars and thousands of American lives on a protracted, unjustified war that only benefited corporate interest.

[luvcheney1]

@judyleasugar97 Bombing buildings that have people in them isnt a "warning strike"! Clinton`s objective was to destroy, and delay Iraq`s programs. That means he thought or knew they existed, and that had NOTHING to do with Bush. Dems and Bush Admin agreed. 82 Dems voted for it in the House, and 29 in the Senate.

[judyleasugar97]

@luvcheney1: First of all, Clinton did not go to war. There is a big difference between a few air strikes and a protracted, UNNECESSARY war. Bush didn't care about the lives lost. He was only interested in enriching Haliburton and giving his oil buddies a foot in the middle east. WE WERE LIED TO.

[luvcheney1]

@judyleasugar97 Bombing other countries isnt war? The entire US was perfectly happy to go to war with just 2 buildings knocked down.

[judyleasugar97]

@luvcheney1: Your ignorance is showing. You don't know what you're talking about.

BUSH LIED TO US.

[luvcheney1]

@judyleasugar97 15 different nations voted for this, unanimously, in the UN. "United Nations Security Council Resolution 1441". Feel free to read. If Bush lied, a possibility of course, both Clintons, Kerry, Gore, Kennedy, Pelosi, etc did too.

[judyleasugar97]

@luvcheney1: The Democrats were given false information! There were no WMD's!

[RegioLunar]

@luvcheney1 "The UN, and the intelligence units of the UK, and our NATO allies all agreed on the threats of Iraq`s WMD programs"

That´s an outright lie.

[luvcheney1]

@RegioLunar I see, then why did the UN need to inspect Iraq for WMD, and why did Hussein obstruct?

[luvcheney1]

@RegioLunar In 2002, the 15 nations of the UN Security Council voted UNANIMOUSLY on "United Nations Security Council Resolution 1441". Feel free to read what everyone was worried about, fucking moron. The War became unpopular, so Dems pretend nobody was ever concerned. Of course, the media in general continues the farce. Unfortunately for you, and trash like you, history is actually recorded. Feel free to study it.

[RegioLunar]

@luvcheney1 "It also quoted Foreign Secretary Jack Straw as saying that it was clear that Bush had "made up his mind" to take military action but that "the case was thin", and the Attorney-General Lord Goldsmith as warning that justifying the invasion on legal grounds would be difficult."

Just for the facts on the UK after a quick search on wiki.

It took the neocons several months of lobbying to pass 1441 as well.

[RegioLunar]

@luvcheney1 Displaying it as " all agreed" is simply false quoting as real history is realy recorded these days.

If i had the time i could show you enough "NATO allies" warning that the "evidence" was thin at best..

[luvcheney1]

@RegioLunar The vote of the Security Council on the matter is history. Certainly I am not saying that every fucking Govt official in every fucking nation agreed on the matter. That degree of agreement isnt reality on any subject. Certainly there was a high degree of agreement in the US Congress, and among the American public, and a Govt response coinciding with that IS the object of having a Democracy.

[HowardIno]

I respect him as well!

At least HE admits that he is a Marxist, unlike Obama, Pelosi, Reid, Frank, et. al.

[braithmorgan]

The way Repubs are doing everything to crush Obama at the expense of the economy & all who rely on a healthy economy says a lot... They have been at this since Obama took his first step into the WH.

[biozamadotcom]

Democrats gave us Obamacare, bailouts and the Super Congress. Republicans were a part of that too. Unacceptable. Huge Bernie Sanders fan, but the blame game is a fail. Not working at all.

If you are anyone else voted YEA on Obamacare, bailouts, Free Trade or the Super Congress, all those YEA voters need to be voted out. No exceptions. No party. Just policy and principle.

[djrinpoche]

@biozamadotcom It's healthcare for citizens of the United States of America you sorry fuck. It's only"Obamacare if you're a lobotomized Fox News viewer or a heartless shit.

[biozamadotcom]

@djrinpoche Some language. Obviously, you cannot read nor think. Obamacare is full of behind the back legislation which harms Americans and employers financially with a number of constraints. It also contains "in perpetuity" legislation language that even Hitler never wrote. It's wrong, man. Republicans have absolutely nothing to do with it at all.

[djrinpoche]

@biozamadotcom Not even Hitler? Hey man, like man go fuck your self you traitor.

[biozamadotcom]

@djrinpoche That is correct. Hitler never wrote "in perpetuity" language in his laws like this govt has. And his language was better than yours, too.

[RegioLunar]

Thanx for understanding...

[captcrais101]

The planet the republicans came from is hell.

[MyTemporaryAccount88]

That bill to "help homeowners" is to help wall st. get rid of its obligations to fannie & freddie in the case of fraud.

Wall st. had fannie & freddie figured out very well, but this last bill is the last piece of the puzzle. Just as every other Obama-BS, it's pro-wall st.

[juan1974mendez]

i am a believer that Republicans can defend and argue with democrats, but they even turn away from critisizing or confronting Bernie Sanders.

[luvcheney1]

@juan1974mendez Talking with lunatics isnt productive.

[lexbcmom]

Thank you, Sen. Sanders! I'm one of those 55-60 year olds whose job was eliminated. The way things are going, I will probably end up homeless by mid-January 2012. And yes, I have a B.A. and 25 years of consecutive employment....

[luvcheney1]

@lexbcmom Hey stupid, you should have studied a little more and got a BS. I`m 60, my home business went down the tubes, and my back needed a major operation, but 2 yrs later when I was better, I found a job in 3 days selling cars making a living. Shave, cut your hair, go find work you pathetic, whining, lying asshole. There are plenty of jobs out there, because lazy motherfuckers like you wont work in the evenings, or every other weekend.

[djrinpoche]

@luvcheney1 Look, if you wanted to be a whore you should have shaved your legs and bought a wig. There are plenty corporate dicks to suck out there so get busy. Vote Republican - they'll show you pictures of food!

[ebertmadwoman]

um somniferous, Bernie Sanders is a self described socialist. This crap didn't happen over night , it happened because of stupid congress, republicans and democrats alike , they spend money like my mother in law in Dillard! Govt get their hands out of business, and they subsidize more than we even know about, how about Solyndra? Now that was a smooth move now wasnt it? Not......

[splicedenergy]

@ebertmadwoman Nope just republicans look up their history on economic policy through the beginning of america's founding

[like2watch713]

I'd like to see all the so-called marginal candidates, the "unelectable" candidates: Bernie Sanders, Dennis Kucinich, Ron Paul - Progressives and Libertarians - join together and stand up to the major parties. The Progressives and Libertarians are not as far apart as the usual Dem and Repub suspects would have you think.

The Progressive Libertarian platform: ensure REAL equal opportunities and level playing field for everyone then leave 'em alone to do something with it!

[luvcheney1]

@like2watch713 They are very far apart on fiscal issues, transfer payments to individuals, regulatory environment, etc.
