The GOP has no credibility on the issue of fiscal responsibility. They want the American people to forget the eight years of the Bush Administration and the RECORD deficit under him. Interestingly enough, the GOP only became "concerned" about deficits on 1/20/09. ~Ban Coulter
I am from Peoria, Illinois as is Aaron Schock and let me tell you he no more represents me than the man in the moon. He is just another out of touch conservative Republican. I hear nothing new from him other than the same old tired lines offered up by his more antique party members..........yawn. Aaron Schock may be a very young, very new member of congress, but his viewpoints reflect that of a very tired, very old way of looking at the world and the people within it. No thanks.....
Does Aaron support whether to provide health insurance to same-sex partners? He has the same dilemma as Obama. Risk support from liberals and friends that voted for him by not supporting it, or risk the support from Republicans by supporting it. What his stance on this delicate subject? We deserve to know don't we?
How many congressmen sit back and wait for supporters to approach them? Where's the list of E-mails/phone calls & letters Aaron? Caterpillar is a big company where 1,400 people can have quite an influence, making a statement like Aaron's carries big responsibilty between a congressman and a giant corporation, where is this list to prove the 1400 as he stated? If he made that number up, that is a huge news story!! This statement could haunt him for years..
o Israel has killed Americans (eg. Sailors on USS Liberty, Rachel Corrie, etc...)
o Israel spies on this country.
o Israel blackmails our corrupt politicians.
o Israel steals our taxes.
o Israel uses our country as their toilet.

Please distribute this post and tell your Senator and/or Representative about Israel's killing Americans, heinous crimes, stealing our taxes, and its spying on USA. Peace!
Go Rep Schock! You got it RIGHT! My Dad worked on the railroad for over 30 yeras and regularly went through Peoria, IL. It is commonly used by demographers as a "typical small Midwestern town." Towns likes this are going to be RUINED BY THE DEMOCRAT'S SOCIALIST SPENDING -- LET'S CALL IT WHAT IT IS -- IT IS NOT A JOB GENERATING PLAN -- IT'S A WISH LIST THEY'VE BEEN PUTTING TOGETHER FOR THE PAST 8 YRS! Want more of the same -- keep voting Democrat morons!
funny - the wussy MSM never showed this on prime time before THE ONE and Comrade Pelosi had their way with theAmerican people.....SHAME that this was not a req display as equal time after the BHO flub while @ Catepillar
I'm not surprised nobody approached him, but I highly doubt it's because they don't support the stimulus. CAT has had a lot of lay-offs lately and will certainly benefit from the bill. Most employees in and around Peoria aren't fans of Schock (especially the union workers) and probably just didn't want to talk to him. I doubt he'll be re-elected.
To: mikebee02 -- of course the union workers aren't fans of a GOP voter. They like the DEM's who GIVE them stuff. Gimme, gimme. "The problem with SOCIALISM is that you eventually run out of other people's money." Margaret Thatcher -- she got it right.
Schock is using the event to claim his constituency in Peoria (my community) is against the bill to justify his opposition. It's dishonest. I've seen him about town and know that people generally avoid confronting him at events. And it wouldn't matter if CAT workers had asked him to support the stimulus, he still would have said No. He should be upfront about his reasons for voting against the bill instead of pretending it's the will of the people and spouting inapt, lofty quotes.
Once again, Obama shown to be a myth. What a joke this guy has become. He's probably going to go down as worse than Carter. At least Carter had integrity.
No kidding, and he's only one month into a four year term... WE ARE FUCKED BIG TIME!! When the peanut farmer is advising Obama, as he is, you know it's gonna be a long drawn out nightmare!!
Lets see, Disinformation, check. Fear, check Demonizing, check dogma, check lack of facts, just opinion, check double-standard, check Must be a Republican. I bet if the bill was to spend 1 trillion more in Iraq he would be jumping for fucking joy like he did when he voted to do that a few years ago. SPENDING IN ANOTHER NATION IS GOOD, SPENDING HERE IS BAD FOR THE NATION! Smacktarded Republicans
Yes I have heard of the lost decade and Japan did the right thing.
If they had not of done it they would have had a FAST collapse instead of a slow decline...which is exactly what we are facing.
Chose which you want because there is no "fix" to make it just go away. You stop the quick decent, set up area's to make up for the "problem" which is banking...then you fix it so it doesnt happen again.
really he voted for it a couple years ago? that's weird because he was just elected. How many Democrats voted for the spending in Iraq? You're comment has no substance, just Democratic talking points.
Nice try. He said himself he voted for Bush both times. Thus he voted for it.
But I wouldnt expect a Republican not to follow another warmongers words...anyone that makes statements like wanting to sell nuclear weapons to Taiwan if China failed to follow U.S. policy in Iran, is truely worthy of the party of hate.
He voted for Bushes Bank bailout just last year, he said so himself. As we have seen, that money was put to great use. It really stimulated the economy.... Why did he have no influence on Bush when the republicans had office and he could have out his idea to use, now it seems they come out because it creates news and gets him airtime. Many young mistakes over the years, which worries me, Parents off shore bank accounts that were postdated, why? District 150 budget issues, his outrageous comments
fuck yea,, obama is just going to ruin this great country, bush set us up, obama gonna knock us down. Common sense tells us that stealing money from people who at a time like this cannot afford it to be taken, to give to lobbyist and others for make work. Not to mention the 2nd amendment law in there that will make all owners register there guns and pay fines etc
You are the kind of person who pays a credit card bill with another credit card, yes? If propping up a failed company automatically means people are going to start buying from them, then yes it works. But will that happen? I seriously doubt it. It would cost the same amount to suspend income taxes for a year and let people spend their paychecks as they see fit, but instead we will let the government decide. We are, after all, too stupid to know how to spend our own money, right?
ur an idiot for supporting this bill. You need to look up the bill,, gun registering bill in it, not to mention a central database with all your medical records which they will use to get rid of guns, by illnesses they are doing it with soldiers for shell shock,,, and u dont pass 1000 page bills without reading them because obama is like ' no time to read it' man its people like you who go with leaders just cause they tell you to. Look things up before opening ur fucking mouth seriously
A few years from now, Aaron Schock will be recognized as a hero for being one of the very few who stood against this so called stimulus package. It is by far the largest theft of the Treasury in history to fund leftist ideas and destroy the free market.
yeah, lets face it, OBAMA SUCKS. I don't think the term "economy" is even in the dumb as**s dictionary. But words that are highly prevelant in BloBama's dictionary are "uh, duh, uh, uh, well, uh, uh, uh, uhhhhhh, uh, uh. Yep, Ebonics is now Obonics.
you liberals crack me up! bush put liquidity back in the banks after the Democrat Barney Frank & Chris Dodd caused meltdown, oh uneducated ones. BloBama's Bill isn't a job creation bill at all, it is a PORK SPENDING BILL to pay back his idiot supporters. Business gets it, the Marxist BloBama doesn't. Yeah, BloBama ran a campaign on the economy TOTALLY opposite what he is currently doing. Polls show it, he is down to 37% approval rate and dropping. Time to impeach his sorry a**.
I have yet, after watching hundreds of videos on you tube and reading thousands of comments, to see one person that actually likes or voted for Obama, who in the fuck voted for that moron? Is this affirmative action at work or something? How in the fuck did his ass become president? No one voted for that mother fucker ...i was literally dragging my friends to vote against that dirty bastard cause i knew this was coming. Now I wished those skin heads would have assassinated his socialist ass
Nice to see a young Representative in there standing up for what he believes. Wonder how long it'll be before he turns into the rest of the do-nothing zombies.
Poor little Aaron : "the president pressured me" boo hoo.....What is your solution Aaron ? Oh, that's right, you don't have one.
You know I think I could do a good job in the house. Just don't read any of the proposed legislation, do a little theatrics for the beneift of the public and just vote NO....Sounds good
Yeah well having NO solution is far better than making a fucking "STUPID" solution that in the end won't work any fucking way you write the bill. Buying 200 million dollars worth of rubbers is only considered stimulus in a brothel DoH!
The real truth here, is that nothing was wrong with the economy until Bam Bam opened his fat ass negro lips and made it bad by being a fucking doom sayer to get elected. What kind of a dumb ass president talks people out of investing in the stock market.
But i agree with you, Obama isn't stupid, he's just very fucking manipulative. The American people are stupid for electing him, but that just makes them victims for trusting that bastard. The truth is Obama "WANTS" this economy to fail so he can use partisan politics to get this fucked up spending/abortion funding, baby killing, welfare bill passed and he's using mushrooms like you to forward his agenda. And once the republicans vote no, HE'S THE ONLY ONE TO BLAME!!!!
If the republicans agreed with this fucked up bill Obama could say "well the republicans agreed it was a good idea" when it fucking fails. AND IT WILL FAIL!! THIS WILL NOT CREATE ONE FUCKING JOB EXCEPT IN CHINA, OR MEXICO! Write your senators people, warn them against signing this POS bill!!! You can get their e-mail addys at the ACU ht-t-p://w-w-w(dot)conservative(dot)org/
We don't need a fucked up baby killing abortion bill, we need government officials that are willing to stand up to foreign influence destroying our economy. Like China who steals our patents and make black market cars that American car dealers design wit their money etc... This bill is bullshit, it's Obama way of saying we're going communist whether you like it or not and I'm to stupid to hold down the position of president.
billy - your blaming Obama for speaking out and causing the economic meltdown ? lol, that's hilarious. Did you forget last year when Paulson and Bush were in panic mode and passed a 750 billion bail out for wall street, which the GOP had no problem with. But now the GOP has found fiscal responsibility,praise the lord !! hipocrites.You sound like a fucking uneducated,redneck hillbilly.On top of that your a rascist. WHITE TRASH TRIFECTA, you own it...........
Oh really fuckstick? Well allow me show you how much of a mushroom you really are. Ever hear of the CRA? The "community reinvestment act"? It was a bill passed under Clinton forcing banks to make BAD BAD loans to dead beat blacks and illegal Mexicans and it was passed "BEFORE bush was even elected and "IT" NOT BUSH caused this fucking economic melt down ...which is why I got OUT of the construction industry when I did.
I seen this collapse coming for years and years!! What does it have to do with Bam Bam you ask? He was the dirty nigger lawyer suing those banks when they refused to make those loans to the dead beats and illegals. What was Bush's and McCain role, they were trying like bastards to get congress and the fucking dems to regulate the market correctly. DoH! Don't call me a hypocrite you stupid mother fucking liberal bastard, people like you are the cause of "ALL" our problems in this country!!!
kerasea this isn't checkers, this is chess!! This bill is just another fucking democrat "CRA" bill in disguise full of money to kill babies etc... Rushing to spend massive amounts of money won't do a damn thing if it isn't spend correctly, it's like buying a refrigerator when what you needed was a damn toaster. Only a stupid race baiter like you and Obama would use race to inhibit discussion of the facts before anyone's even read the fucking thing!
The only words people like you and Obama know, because that's the extent of your intelligence, are "racist"," xenophobe" etc... But you're gonna have a hard time proving there are any racists left with the election of your new "BLACK PRESIDENT". So you can shove your racist and xenophobe statements up your tight honkie or nigger ass! That politically correct enough for you? I have a question for you, did you vote for him out of white guilt or just because you hate white people. Asshole!
You're god damn right, I'm blaming Obama, Pelosi, Reed and every democrat on the hill because there is no difference between anyone of them. America / George Bush is the Antichrist, terrorists are basically good people who are just misunderstood, Killing murders on death row is evil but killing unborn children is simply a choice, if you're rich you must have bilked a black man or an illegal out of his money somewhere etc... And if you oppose Obama you're a racist, that about sum it up?
I'm white and no I didn't vote out of guilt. The bill may not work. Nobody really knows for sure. But republicans are now preaching fiscal responsibility. Where were they for the last 8 years ?
No this bill will NOT work period! It won't work because it isn't addressing the issue that industry in this country is dying, coal is dead, oil is dead, steel is dead, manufacturing is dead, automobiles are dead, but our dependence on these things isn't and this bill doesn't address one of those issues by creating jobs here.
Example: alternative energy/global warming! What Obama doesn't understand about alternative energies, as this is my professional specialty, is that the technology for the shit he's talking about using doesn't even fucking exist yet and he's trying to force a change in the private sector that is impossible to implement!! Instead of trying a short term fix like drilling in Anwar to buy us time. Hope you like sending your e-mail the old fashioned way, by horse!
As for global warming, it doesn't fucking exist. Not even my colleagues believe in Global warming ..and they're geologists. But it's being shoved down our throats by fear mongering eurotrash (foreign influence) and Hollywood actors who believe that if we don't do something "RIGHT NOW" we'll all die in six months. But the "REAL" cause of what they call global warming is taboo because you're automatically stupid if you believe in God. NO DEMOCRAT IS EVER RIGHT! NEVER!
The correct terminology is" I've seen this collapse" first of all. Secondly, I'm a race baiter ? What conculsion can I come too when you call someone you disagree with a " Nigger ". The reality is both parties are sell outs. They don't give a damn about you or me. The only thing there concerned with is getting re elected and lining there pockets. Everyone in the SEC should be fired.Dodd and Frank are equally responsible. Washington is fucked up and corrupt.Look out for yourself,all you can do
No the correct terminology is "I seen this collapse coming for years", it was my prediction of a future economic calamity which is now happening. I agree much of Washington is fucked up, but if you look at who is corrupt it's always a fucking democrat who's not paying his taxes, taking bribes etc... I tend to find morality divides in Washington where party lines start. You really should pay more attention to what's going on, don't throw out the good people in Washington with the bad
snwe collins and spectre need to be held up as an example An example of what happens to people with no brains or no conscience. These people are only interested in getting re-elected. They are not interested in trying to come up with any plan that will actually help us out of this mess.
this does more to illustrate what Obama and company is all about than any other vid on Youtube. Putting someone on the spot, telling the audience to pressure him, and then saying Caterpillar will rehire people based on the stimulus package is all a PACK of LIES. Hoping people would actually support the stimulus package based on this talk is what the Libs are doing. They are pretending to know what they are doing, not trying very hard to actually do right, and hoping that people won't notice.
What many do not get is that this is not a stupid move on the part of liberal Democrats. Its deliberate.
The only way they can side step the Constitution is to have a crisis of the magnitude that this bill will eventually produce. It will not be bankrupt banks this time. It will be the nation. Liberals as they now exist in congress are flat out evil. Republicans better wake up. Its not stupidity. Its on purpose.
genemx - I think you get it, yeah. Republicans are so honest and forthwright. There NO vote had nothing to do with politics. They were just thinking about the benefit of the american people.
I'm sending each one of them a thank you letter. GOP voted no so they can blame Obama when this doesn't work and they will get re elected and that is the only reason. All the rhetoric and theatrics is all bull shit
This money is not on the American people. It is about getting certain things Dems want through. Buying hybrid cars, building a frisbee park etc. does not help the economy. Iraq is better off today than it was 5 years ago.
This stimulus is the response by Democrats to 8 years of Bush. It's payback, pure and simple.
Our country's overall well-being comes in a distant 2nd to politicians. The primary objective for both sides is to make the other look inept in the eyes of the voters.
FDR had embraced the captains of industry of his time. He worked with them to create jobs. Obama has done the exact opposite. Obama has alienated the current Captains of industry by capping their salaries and taking away their corporate jets. It is childish and naive to think these same people would now turn around and help Obama create jobs.
They would rather go 4 years with one less Porsche then see Obama succeed and lose all their toys forever. That is why this plan and Obama will fail.
Liberal thats a joke.I didnt vote for Obama and I'm 100% against the stimulus package as I was against the 750 billion bailout that Bush,Mccain and most republicans handed over to banks with no oversight.
So let me know what I lied about.Maybe The U.S. wouldn't be so screwed up if people like you actually did some critical thinking.Instead of being loyal to their party,rather then their country.
To blame either party for the economic turmoil is not productive. What IS productive is how do we get out of this mess. The current stimulus package seems to not be the answer. I agree with you surf that all who voted in favor of it should be voted out of office. But, that doesn't necessarily mean that all who voted against it are any good either.
I say throw them all out and start with some new people. People who can convince their constituents that they have some answers.
Man you people need to take your partisan blinders off.The republicans are just as much if not more to blame for the economy as the dems.They rode the housing bubble and even made speeches on how they wanted every american to own a home.They allowed the banks to write the banking policies,just like they let the oil companies write the energy policies.And now you all act like innocent victims.Even though most of you voted for Bush who did nothing but borrow from China and spend in the middle east
Every single American that voted for Obama or even one of the Congressional Democrats in the last two elections is responsible for what is happening. There are no excuses for not recognizing the radical turn the Democrats have taken in recent years. The info was out there.
You will be to blame for your children and grandchildren suffering in the "new" America which will have little in common with the old.
I am actively working in Southern California to replace liberals, progressives, and do nothings with responsible conservative politicians who will be held responsible for and accountable to the communities that support them.
We are replacing some lazy stupid republicans too..
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Grandstanding,thats all this is.All of a sudden these phony republicans are going to pretend that there true fiscal conservatives.Mean while they lied us into two wars that cost over a trillion dollars and counting.
If this speech came from Ron Paul I'd be applauding.Otherwise its just a joke.Because you know damn well these same republicans just love giving your money to banks,oil companies,and military contractors and somehow convince you its for your own good.And you lap it up everytime.
I am no great fan of todays Republicans in congress. However, this man is not one of those that I will throw out with the bathwater.
Try to see this for what it is. Obama and the leftist liberals are rolling America. Their agenda is power for themselves and socialism for the people. If you like that then you couldn't shred a perfect wave.
Maybe you should learn to read.Where did I say this senator was responsible for the economy.I was talking about all you fiscally conservative republicans.That are all of a sudden angry at the democrats.For Doing basically the same thing Bush and the Republicans did over the last 8 years.They spent money we didn't have.The only thing thats different is who is getting paid.The ship was sinking under Bush and now its sinking under Obama.All we did was switch seats on the Titanic.
Sorry, I assumed that when you typed "Grandstanding, that's all this is", you were commenting on Rep. Schock's speech. Who's speech are you commenting about?
And when you said "If this speech came from Ron Paul I'd be applauding.Otherwise its just a joke.Because you know damn well these same republicans...", who were you talking about? Again, I assumed you were commenting about Rep. Schock's speech. Silly me.
BTW, senators are in the other chamber of congress.
I wasn't just commenting on his speech.I was commenting on all the posts from suckers like you.Who seemed to lap it up .And pretend That republicans had nothing to do with the economic mess.
I can see we're fucked because you seem more concerned that I made a mistake as to which side of the house he was on.But unlike republican partisan hacks I don't mind admitting I made a mistake.Yeah you are silly,you'd rather waste your time making inane comments ,rather then debate the substance.
I looked over the other comments, but I don't see which one is "grandstanding" or would make a great speech if it "came from Ron Paul". I'm not buying it. Maybe you should re-read your comment that I replied to.
You call tying a freshman representative to the last 8 years, substance?
And no, the short BTW line was not what I was "more concerned" about. What I was concerned about was the asinine broad brush you were painting with.
Just so you know, I am not a Republican or a Democrat. I'm a classical liberal, meaning I believe that the limited federal government, as laid out in the US Constitution, is the least imperfect form of government.
So, I don't agree with either party. They are just opposite sides of the same coin: big national government.
Finally someone besides me sees through the two-party myth. Both parties lie, deceive, back stab, tax, spend, erode individual rights, start illegal wars, pass unconstitutional laws, blindly serve the owners, and ultimately take a huge runny dump on the US Constitution every single day. Only when the people start apprehending these criminals and put them on trial for treason, war crimes, etc. will we see real change.
I agree Republicans aren't perfect, but they are a long long shot from being democrats. I think you'll find if you look long enough and hard enough all the things you just listed are either non-issues, speaking of the "Illegal wars" comment, or forced down your throat by democrats and half-democrat sympathetic republicans who call themselves conservatives but get caught acting like a democrat i.e. Larry Craig.
Being a "TRUE" conservative is an ideal which is above party lines, the democrats can't even define being a democrat because they have no morality, definition of morality or convictions ...except being convicted to stand against everything the Republicans stand for. ie baby killing, excessive taxation, universal health care etc... Don't be fooled by their bullshit! Like i said, this is not checkers this is chess!
Are you kidding me? Erosion of rights, the US Constitution, sound money, fiscal responsibility, less government, less taxes, and deliberate deception "are non-issues"??? Your statement has to be by far the most incredibly blind and naive comment I have ever seen. You must escape the ridiculous notion that the two parties are different in order to truly see the insurmountable illusions put before you since birth. They condition us like animals and most like you fall for it. How sad it is...
I didn't say: Erosion of rights, the US Constitution, sound money, fiscal responsibility, less government, less taxes, and deliberate deception weren't issues, i said illegal wars wasn't an issue. That was over blown democrat bullshit DoH!
Nice spin, but you aren't going to twist my words. My point, if you'll read it again, is that there is significant difference between democrats and "TRUE" conservative republicans.
The only person being conditioned here is "YOU", conditioned by dems to believe that both parties are inherently corrupt ...just like the republicans took the brunt of this economic failure which was caused by the dems with their fucking CRA bill and blamed on Bush. And what deliberate deception? The one spread by democrats that the war in Iraq was illegal??? hahahaha The democrats have turned you into a mushroom, they keep you in the dark and feed you bullshit so they can farm your votes.
And if you don't think that's true, then find me one democrat that's actually read this stimulus bill?? Why is Obama trying to hide his attempt at controlling the census, which will redistrict the congressional districts so the dems can maintain control of the house in the next congressional election where they are sure to be whipped out after this bill passes. I told you this isn't checkers, this is CHESS! The republicans are being deliberately blamed for what the dems are doing.
One Democrat who read the "spendulus bill"? How about Dennis Kucinich. You are so deeply immersed in the delusion created for you to divert your attention from Israeli control of our government you will never understand the two-party myth. Keep obeying your masters oh faithful slave to zionism.
You said everything that I mentioned was a non issue. Illegal preemptive wars is by far the most significant issue. It is government officials, almost half of who are dual US-Israeli citizens, who take marching orders directly from zionist lobbyists such as AIPAC. There is NO DIFFERENCE WHATSOEVER between Dems and Republicans. The only true conservative person in Congress is Ron Paul.
Who said it was illegal, you??? Obama?? Europe?? People voted Bush in "TWICE", and Congress approved of the war. You wouldn't know what illegal is if a border jumping , river swimming Mexican stood up waved his arms and said "here i am". And why do you keep saying Zionist?? Why don't you just say Christian?? Sure i like Ron Paul ...until it comes time to defend America ..then he's a Dem pussy. You 're going to find that this war with Islam is going to happen whether America participates or not.
It was too late on 9/11, wish you pussy dems would quite blaming Bush cause he actually had a spine in the face of adversity. At least Bush knew who our enemies were ...Clinton was killing Christians in Bosnia and Waco. This is a sovereign country why you dems always trying to turn it into another Eurotrash communist state?? You have a fetish to be dominated by Allah?? There's plenty of difference between dems and repub's the dems are selling us out to Allah and repubs are trying to stop it.
9/11 was a false flag operation carried out by Mossad (Israeli version of CIA) and the whole "Muslims are our enemy" is a silly fabrication. Furthermore, there is no difference between Republicans and Democrats. Both have a fetish for more taxes, endless spending, illegal preemptive wars, erosion of individual liberties, expansion of government, and staying in power at all costs. The USA lost its sovereignty to a small group of zionist men in 1913 when the Federal Reserve was "created".
Since when did the idea of obeying the Constitution "make Ron Paul look crazy"? It is enemies of freedom such as yourself who are a significant part of why the USA is not nearly as great of a nation it once was. How many more wars do you want to fight for Israel? How much more foreign aid and weapons do you want to give them? Do you really want to continue to be Israel's slave? I will NOT.
The explain to me why almost half of our US government officials are dual US-Israeli citizens? Explain why 1/3 of ALL foreign aid goes to Israel when their per capita income exceeds the USA's? Explain why the US gives Israel weapons it would give to no one else?
"If tyranny and oppression ever come to this land, it will be under the guise of fighting a foreign enemy." --James Madison
My statements regarding dual US-Israeli citizens in government offices and foreign aid are fully verifiable. Don't take it from me just do the research for yourself. Then again, if you're in middle school and not a college graduate like myself you may not know how to research. If that's the case just keep blindly believing the media like a faithful slave.
Only Congress can declare war and no "war" since WWII has been declared. The Korean, Vietnam, and both Gulf wars are therefore illegal since they were not declared. You base your law upon what the media tells you and, like Ron Paul, I base law on the US Constitution. Ron Paul believes in the Constitutional approach to a strong national defense, not bullying the world.
"If tyranny and oppression ever come to this land, it will be under the guise of fighting a foreign enemy." --James Madison
Congress did declare war in Iraq then six months later they treated it like a trip the McDonald's it wasn't over in 30 seconds or less and they decided they didn't like it. Your constitutional approach really isn't as constitutional at all seeing as how the constitution is primarily directed at "protecting the people."
What's Ron Paul's answer: "live and let live" Doh! Isn't that what we did before 9/11? How do you live and let live in the nuclear, chemical, biological age??
Your comments seem excessively naive to me friend, your logic is faulty and unfortunately by the time you find out how wrong you really are you'll probably be to dead to understand. Constitutional LOL ...I bet you didn't even know Lincoln suspended habes corpus during the civil war?? Wasn't that unconstitutional as well? But he is listed as the best American president ever?? The rights of the individual ends when the security of the nation is at stake!! No I'm afraid Guantanamo bay is legal!!
Abraham Lincoln may have been listed as the "best President ever" but he was one of the worst. Both Lincoln and Bush used the same playbook to fabricate and exaggerate pretenses for war, enact more spending, dissolve individual rights, and please the owners. The "war on terror" is a big smoke and mirrors show.
"If tyranny and oppression ever come to this land, it will be under the guise of fighting a foreign enemy." --James Madison
Well like I said earlier one mans hero is another mans despot ...a southern plantation slave owner might call Lincoln an evil man while the average black man might consider him a hero. So it really depends on YOUR level of knowledge or comprehension of the issues.
If the war on Terror is smoke and mirrors lets see you go to Pakistan or Afghanistan without protection ...American soldiers aren't getting killed by food poisoning. Don't underestimate your enemies, they'll cut your head off.
These people may small like goats and they may sleep with goats but they aren't stupid like goats. They are organized and they want to cut your head off ....it's hardly a bumper sticker. It only takes one sand nigger with one petri dish to kill 30,000+ Americans ...Still think it's a joke? h-t-t-p://w-w-w(dot)youtube(dot)com/watch?v=M32M-2B2mz8 <--this look like a smoke and mirrors show? Just because they aren't wearing uniforms doesn't mean they aren't organized!!
Resolutions and authorizations are not at all the same as a declaration. Ron Paul's approach is to stick with what works--the Constitutional approach to war. That is to protect OUR nation and not have a needless troop presence in over 160 nations. We spend over $1 Trillion annually maintaining the troop presence and it will come to an end whether we want it to or not for we can no longer afford it.
No of course not, protecting our interests and defending our country could not possibly involve us being involved in other nations...
Maybe we should just pull out of North Korea as well then "AFTER" North Korea takes South Korea we can just do another Normandy beach invasion so we can get more soldiers killed than in any war we've ever been involved in to retake ground we already have DoH!
The more people who see this video the better. Get the word out early for those who still think Obama has what it takes. Try to make this the number one video on Youtube. I mean, come ON, it is much better for the country than discussing evolution or gay rights.
You know what? It takes courage to stand up and say these things into the face of a leftist government. I am going to respond to this video several times to help it gain status on Youtube.
Its a nice speech.But how many republicans voted with Bush to send out stimulas checks last year and how many of these so called anti-pork,anti ear mark republicans voted with Bush to give 750 billion to wall st.without any oversight.Any politician who voted for the TARP fund or this so called stimulas package should be run out of town including the republicans
Hey dude. Surfs up. I'll help you run these bums out of Dodge. This is a good place to start. Like Colin Powell said, you gotta cut the snake off at the head. Anyone who voted for this stimulus package is not interested in helping the American people, they are only interested in helping themselves keep their jobs.
What he was trying to say was that the official Obama merchandise is selling well and that the new "I AM A DUMBASS" sandwich board sign will be available soon.

The GOP has no credibility on the issue of fiscal responsibility. They want the American people to forget the eight years of the Bush Administration and the RECORD deficit under him. Interestingly enough, the GOP only became "concerned" about deficits on 1/20/09. ~Ban Coulter

I am from Peoria, Illinois as is Aaron Schock and let me tell you he no more represents me than the man in the moon. He is just another out of touch conservative Republican. I hear nothing new from him other than the same old tired lines offered up by his more antique party members..........yawn. Aaron Schock may be a very young, very new member of congress, but his viewpoints reflect that of a very tired, very old way of looking at the world and the people within it. No thanks.....

Risk support from liberals and friends that voted for him by not supporting it, or risk the support from Republicans by supporting it. What his stance on this delicate subject?

I'm not surprised nobody approached him, but I highly doubt it's because they don't support the stimulus. CAT has had a lot of lay-offs lately and will certainly benefit from the bill. Most employees in and around Peoria aren't fans of Schock (especially the union workers) and probably just didn't want to talk to him. I doubt he'll be re-elected.

Schock is using the event to claim his constituency in Peoria (my community) is against the bill to justify his opposition. It's dishonest. I've seen him about town and know that people generally avoid confronting him at events. And it wouldn't matter if CAT workers had asked him to support the stimulus, he still would have said No. He should be upfront about his reasons for voting against the bill instead of pretending it's the will of the people and spouting inapt, lofty quotes.

The stimulus is pork.
It will increase inflation.
This will hurt the poor more than the rich.
Most of it will be wasted, or given to corps that are politically connected.
It will make the recession last longer.
It increases the debt.
Nothing in the bill will be spent quickly, even if quick government spending could improve our situation, which it can not.

I didn't say: Erosion of rights, the US Constitution, sound money, fiscal responsibility, less government, less taxes, and deliberate deception weren't issues, i said illegal wars wasn't an issue. That was over blown democrat bullshit DoH!
Nice spin, but you aren't going to twist my words. My point, if you'll read it again, is that there is significant difference between democrats and "TRUE" conservative republicans.
sweetbilly 2 years ago
The only person being conditioned here is "YOU", conditioned by dems to believe that both parties are inherently corrupt ...just like the republicans took the brunt of this economic failure which was caused by the dems with their fucking CRA bill and blamed on Bush. And what deliberate deception? The one spread by democrats that the war in Iraq was illegal??? hahahaha The democrats have turned you into a mushroom, they keep you in the dark and feed you bullshit so they can farm your votes.

And if you don't think that's true, then find me one democrat that's actually read this stimulus bill?? Why is Obama trying to hide his attempt at controlling the census, which will redistrict the congressional districts so the dems can maintain control of the house in the next congressional election where they are sure to be whipped out after this bill passes. I told you this isn't checkers, this is CHESS! The republicans are being deliberately blamed for what the dems are doing.

One Democrat who read the "spendulus bill"? How about Dennis Kucinich. You are so deeply immersed in the delusion created for you to divert your attention from Israeli control of our government you will never understand the two-party myth. Keep obeying your masters oh faithful slave to zionism.

I do not engage in the two-party myth. Both parties are as one serving Israel.
dhprince 2 years ago
You said everything that I mentioned was a non issue. Illegal preemptive wars is by far the most significant issue. It is government officials, almost half of who are dual US-Israeli citizens, who take marching orders directly from zionist lobbyists such as AIPAC. There is NO DIFFERENCE WHATSOEVER between Dems and Republicans. The only true conservative person in Congress is Ron Paul.
dhprince 2 years ago
Who said it was illegal, you??? Obama?? Europe?? People voted Bush in "TWICE", and Congress approved of the war. You wouldn't know what illegal is if a border jumping , river swimming Mexican stood up waved his arms and said "here i am". And why do you keep saying Zionist?? Why don't you just say Christian?? Sure i like Ron Paul ...until it comes time to defend America ..then he's a Dem pussy. You 're going to find that this war with Islam is going to happen whether America participates or not.

It was too late on 9/11, wish you pussy dems would quite blaming Bush cause he actually had a spine in the face of adversity. At least Bush knew who our enemies were ...Clinton was killing Christians in Bosnia and Waco. This is a sovereign country why you dems always trying to turn it into another Eurotrash communist state?? You have a fetish to be dominated by Allah?? There's plenty of difference between dems and repub's the dems are selling us out to Allah and repubs are trying to stop it.

9/11 was a false flag operation carried out by Mossad (Israeli version of CIA) and the whole "Muslims are our enemy" is a silly fabrication. Furthermore, there is no difference between Republicans and Democrats. Both have a fetish for more taxes, endless spending, illegal preemptive wars, erosion of individual liberties, expansion of government, and staying in power at all costs. The USA lost its sovereignty to a small group of zionist men in 1913 when the Federal Reserve was "created".

Since when did the idea of obeying the Constitution "make Ron Paul look crazy"? It is enemies of freedom such as yourself who are a significant part of why the USA is not nearly as great of a nation it once was. How many more wars do you want to fight for Israel? How much more foreign aid and weapons do you want to give them? Do you really want to continue to be Israel's slave? I will NOT.

The explain to me why almost half of our US government officials are dual US-Israeli citizens? Explain why 1/3 of ALL foreign aid goes to Israel when their per capita income exceeds the USA's? Explain why the US gives Israel weapons it would give to no one else?

My statements regarding dual US-Israeli citizens in government offices and foreign aid are fully verifiable. Don't take it from me just do the research for yourself. Then again, if you're in middle school and not a college graduate like myself you may not know how to research. If that's the case just keep blindly believing the media like a faithful slave.

Only Congress can declare war and no "war" since WWII has been declared. The Korean, Vietnam, and both Gulf wars are therefore illegal since they were not declared. You base your law upon what the media tells you and, like Ron Paul, I base law on the US Constitution. Ron Paul believes in the Constitutional approach to a strong national defense, not bullying the world.

Congress did declare war in Iraq then six months later they treated it like a trip the McDonald's it wasn't over in 30 seconds or less and they decided they didn't like it. Your constitutional approach really isn't as constitutional at all seeing as how the constitution is primarily directed at "protecting the people."
What's Ron Paul's answer: "live and let live" Doh! Isn't that what we did before 9/11? How do you live and let live in the nuclear, chemical, biological age??

Your comments seem excessively naive to me friend, your logic is faulty and unfortunately by the time you find out how wrong you really are you'll probably be to dead to understand. Constitutional LOL ...I bet you didn't even know Lincoln suspended habes corpus during the civil war?? Wasn't that unconstitutional as well? But he is listed as the best American president ever?? The rights of the individual ends when the security of the nation is at stake!! No I'm afraid Guantanamo bay is legal!!
sweetbilly 2 years ago
Abraham Lincoln may have been listed as the "best President ever" but he was one of the worst. Both Lincoln and Bush used the same playbook to fabricate and exaggerate pretenses for war, enact more spending, dissolve individual rights, and please the owners. The "war on terror" is a big smoke and mirrors show.

Well like I said earlier one mans hero is another mans despot ...a southern plantation slave owner might call Lincoln an evil man while the average black man might consider him a hero. So it really depends on YOUR level of knowledge or comprehension of the issues.
If the war on Terror is smoke and mirrors lets see you go to Pakistan or Afghanistan without protection ...American soldiers aren't getting killed by food poisoning. Don't underestimate your enemies, they'll cut your head off.

These people may small like goats and they may sleep with goats but they aren't stupid like goats. They are organized and they want to cut your head off ....it's hardly a bumper sticker. It only takes one sand nigger with one petri dish to kill 30,000+ Americans ...Still think it's a joke? h-t-t-p://w-w-w(dot)youtube(dot)com/watch?v=M32M-2B2mz8 <--this look like a smoke and mirrors show? Just because they aren't wearing uniforms doesn't mean they aren't organized!!

Resolutions and authorizations are not at all the same as a declaration. Ron Paul's approach is to stick with what works--the Constitutional approach to war. That is to protect OUR nation and not have a needless troop presence in over 160 nations. We spend over $1 Trillion annually maintaining the troop presence and it will come to an end whether we want it to or not for we can no longer afford it.
dhprince 2 years ago
No of course not, protecting our interests and defending our country could not possibly involve us being involved in other nations...
Maybe we should just pull out of North Korea as well then "AFTER" North Korea takes South Korea we can just do another Normandy beach invasion so we can get more soldiers killed than in any war we've ever been involved in to retake ground we already have DoH!

Its a nice speech.But how many republicans voted with Bush to send out stimulas checks last year and how many of these so called anti-pork,anti ear mark republicans voted with Bush to give 750 billion to wall st.without any oversight.Any politician who voted for the TARP fund or this so called stimulas package should be run out of town including the republicans

You don't get it do you?
Bush is responsible for making some huge mistakes. Mistakes you don't seem to like.
But now that Obama is making more of the same big mistakes, big by a factor of several orders of magnitude higher, you want to buy into that?

Hey dude. Surfs up. I'll help you run these bums out of Dodge. This is a good place to start. Like Colin Powell said, you gotta cut the snake off at the head. Anyone who voted for this stimulus package is not interested in helping the American people, they are only interested in helping themselves keep their jobs.
