  • @derek8171...thanks for the Bill Hicks reference. Made my day!

  • There will be a day in country when it's not going to be safe for the well-to-do to walk down the damn street.

  • Lee Evans.. wtf and i'd happen to be a Ravens fan

  • cenk is real smart.

  • Please Cenk if you havent talked about THE EXPATRIATION ACT yet talk about....

    This goes to everybody also if you dont know about it look it up and spread the word.......please....

  • *Moves to Canada*

  • This country suuuuuuuuuuuuccccccccccccccccc­cks. " if your in marketing or advertising,...kill yourself".

  • Thanks K Sttreet for Killing America you are the best.

  • Most democrats still have morals left... republicans in congress however...

  • WTF Cenk, so what if Frank said he won't do it, we know how much that means. Whenever anyone else has said they wouldn't lobby, you called them out, let's wait a year and see where Mr. Frank is eh, and if you're wrong, will you be so willing to admit that as you are when you are right?

  • Lobbyists and pols are 1%-ers gaming the system, and the banks make bank with taxpayer money. And the thought the 30s were bad. we'd supposedly learned from all this shit before.

  • Did anyone else catch the spelling error? "$800,000 to $1.5 Milion" [Million] at 2:30 - 2:39

  • @CarbonJackal13 EVERY TYT video with a slideshow has spelling errors. So?

  • I'm America is fucked ..with republican

  • Which Senator should TYT buy?

  • @TinyMcLarge Fuck Ron Paul. Nobody actually cares about his policies on the war because they're irrelevant. His true masters are the Koch brothers, the gun lobbys, and the nuts who think that a gold backed currency is the way to go (Perhaps the gold lobby). His Austrian economics are a fraud on par with Jim Bakker, but don't worry, I won't try and confuse you with the facts. I'll just watch as your candidate goes up in smoke.

  • @TinyMcLarge By the way pig, if you ever try and use your "gun rights" to deprive me of life and liberty, I'll gladly shoot back. It'll be one less right wing, k-street drone traitor.

  • @TinyMcLarge Um no, K street wants everyone armed to the teeth. The NRA is a lobby. The NRA is funded fully by the gun manufacturers who don't give a fuck abouts safety. They care about sales. My right to life indeed trumps your right to own a machine gun. Are you saying you're going to murder Americans so you can own a machine gun? And you right wing pigs call us terrorists. Well look pig, I guess the lesson is to carry a gun myself, so when i see you with your machine gun...

  • Comming from a Progressive Life Time DEM I can agree with some of Ron Paul stances but not enough to vote for him. He does bring some grounded sence into the otherwise TOTALY corrupt GOP Primary. He does some good being one man with SOME common sence. That aside I don't care to live in the United States where every State acts like Texas (laughs). NO THANKS. We've HAD ENOUGH of the Lone Star State mentality in the WH to last me a LIFE TIME. If I wanted to live in Ron's world I'd move to Texas.

  • 2:34 'million' is missing an 'L'

  • @TinyMcLarge In short, your right to own a machine gun, doesn't trump my right to life, liberty and the persuit of happiness. You carrying your weapons of mass murder into our public space, infringes on our rights to life. Our right to life trumps your gun right. In fact, concealed carry should be banned, machine guns banned, and there should be a psychological exam with the background check before issuing a gun license and it should be renewed every 4 years. Hows that?

  • @Newenlightenmentnow Amen to that.

  • @TinyMcLarge So I don't really give a shit about your 2nd amendment right, because what you claim isn't in the 2nd amendment. I think people like yourself who want mass murder machine guns for your delusional fantasy of overthrowing the US government should be tried for treason.

  • @TinyMcLarge I'm not sure how your first sentence is relevant. You people and your "persecuted gun laws" make me laugh. You have concealed weapons legal in almost every state, which is insane. Yes you aren't supposed to have machine guns. You don't get to have an M-240B. It has no purpose other than mass killing of people. Don't lecture me on the Constitution. It does not give you the right to mass murder weapons.

  • Sounds like slavery somehow... buying people for services for their own massive benefit

  • I would actually sell out as well. I like money.

  • I hate Cenk's misuse of "literally".

  • How is this legal. Oh, because America is a sad joke. Why don't we do sometging about it? because most people don't care

  • Comment removed

  • @Shonenut213 we already have the power to do it. It's not illegal for the public to donate to politicians

  • Say it with me guys: WOLF-PAC.com

  • Michael Shure ( TYT host ) & Ron Paul :

    1. Michael Shure hates Ron Paul if you have been following him.

    2. He hates Ron Paul because of his foreign policy in not interfering in other country's business. This means that Ron Paul will never send Americans to war & death for Israel if elected.

    3. So he comdemn Ron Paul because the racist newsletters. That's his cover in persuading people not to vote for Ron Paul.

    4. His concern is Israel & not the well being of Americans.

    5. He is Jew

  • @Stevie68000 It is simple. The Republicans won't listen to him, so he can spout any good tactical advice that he wants, and be completely disregarded by the Republicans anyway.

    Then he can point and laugh and say "I WAS RIGHT" when the Republicans fall down in November.

  • It is a form of hire purchase. They can only give out SO many bribes in the form of really sweet/stupid land deals and campaign contributions, the real money comes in after they get out. And the ones who are not bought, like Wiener and Spitzer, they better keep their noses very clean, because if they fail to keep it in their pants at all, they will be hounded out of office, even while everybody else are visiting the very same prostitutes.

  • they should make trading cards for senators/polititians, like baseball players.

  • @robotadventures Jose Serrano has one, but he's based near Yankee Stadium.

  • Hey have you heard about the global youtube boycott Feb 18 & 19 ? Anybody here who hates the changes made to youtube should count yourselfs in.

  • didn't Chis Dodd say he wasn't going to work for K

    Street too? Don't be surprised Barney Frank turns around and works for them.

  • @razoreye001 You only know which ones were not bought AFTER they retire.

    What are Wiener and Spitzer doing nowadays? Are they working as lobbyists?

  • honestly i think the people should overthrow the government there is simply to much corruption it's impossible to clean the only answer i can think of is simply press the reset button

  • Literally salivating, eh Cenk?

  • This is all TOTALLY misleading. First off, K street has been paying their ex-senators and congressman to NOT sell out. Second, of course the American people don't deserve a stable economy- that's what God wants..

  • You go Cenk! Educate these liberal tards and maybe they'll vote for Ron Paul once they see he is the only guy running for president that isn't bought. But that makes too much sense for liberals. Instead they like to vote for the absolute worst candidate, probably the one that signed the NDAA bill.

  • @shadowedge69 No, Ron Paul is not bought. He is not that smart. He persues the pro corporate, complete deregulation destroy the EPA agenda WITHOUT GETTING PAID A CENT FOR IT, because he is DUMB ENOUGH TO BELIEVE THAT CRAP.

  • @dangerouslytalented Oh really, so wouldn't mean all these businesses would be after Paul in droves, you know like Obama and Romney? You clearly don't understand the red tape involved, you're a child by the lack of understanding, sorry. These agencies that Paul opposes are done so because of the corruption they bring. Fema sounds wonderful in theory doesn't it? Who wouldn't want a disaster program ready for the worst, but Fema is mostly about contractors, not the "people".

  • @shadowedge69 There is a HUGE similarity between what Paul offers and what the Koch Industries frontgroups like the Heritage Foundation push for. They are uncomfortable with him mostly because his nutty image makes him unelectable in their eyes, and they know he can't be bought, which means he is dangerous in that he might get rid of subsidies and military contracts that they want to keep.

  • @dangerouslytalented Exactly, if this type of dealing happens regardless with the people having no control at all. I'd rather have Paul stepping on the toes of the elite. But you know what, we need to have priorities. The SOPA bill is internet censorship and must not pass. The NDAA is martial law against Americans, but not enough people are talking about it that way. No other candidate is against it, that's why Paul wins by default.

  • @shadowedge69 Except with a bought congress, and a president who wants half of what the corporatists want, it is far more likely that Paul, who is obsessive about all his policies, would work very hard on everything, but get blocked in all the inconvenient stuff by Congress, but full speed ahead with ending welfare and regulations and the EPA, particularly as Paul is a strict constitutionalist and therefore will not work outside of his perceptions of presidential power.

  • @dangerouslytalented I'm beginning to think you haven't followed Paul's words at all. Those issues are on the itinerary, however Paul's more pressing concerns are on stabilizing the economy cutting the military complex down. He doesn't like welfare and stuff like that, but he always talks about how people are stuck in that trap so we can't just cut them off. He realizes that and if you listened to him, you know that.

  • @shadowedge69 The problem here is with A) Cutting the military industrial complex (K street is FULL of military contractors and B) his idea of stabilising the economy is a return to the gold standard, which is impossible without getting into far more debt and giving trillions to gold speculators and also an end to bailouts, which will instantly crash most if not all of Americas largest banks.

  • @dangerouslytalented Again, Paul understand the economy better than most people. The best way to fix the economy in the short term is to level it out without more inflation. The gold system and other plans won't happen in the near future if ever. As for the contractors, you're right. However, if we go the course we're following now, the empire will die just like the USSR did. Paul's plan is the only way to stop the country from crashing, the fed is giving us "extra time"

  • @shadowedge69 no, he has only been studying Austrian economics, which completely ignores the fact that there are a LOT OF OTHER FACTORS that do not fit in with Austrian economics, particularly when it comes to corruption and the distoritions of supply side economics.

    The Soviet Union collapsed because the Soviet system was unbalanced towards the government. The American system is prone due to collapse because it is unbalanced towards the corporate (which, in many ways,is similar)

  • @dangerouslytalented The USSR ran out of money, that's the same as our problem. It doesn't matter if the focus was too much govt or too much corporation. They are one of the same because the corporations have taken over the govt anyway. The bankers like Goldman Sachs bought Obama early in 2008, that's why he got elected. He was the anti-Bush and that was what we "needed" , but not what we got. Paul's plan is simple, cut military "contractor" spending for now.

  • @shadowedge69 Except that the US has NOT really ran out of money, it has all been looted by the banksters, who are inflating the cash to get more and more wealthy, while the very banks themselves become insolvent. The American system is in so much debt because they have been bailing OUT the unregulated banking system, and if they did NOT, then the whole lot would have collapsed JUST LIKE THE SOVIET UNION DID, back in late 2008.

    It was just that the debt was transfered to the govt.

  • @dangerouslytalented People don't play the semantics game with me. You know what I meant, the country is bankrupt for whatever reason you want, it's broke and lives on borrowed money and "printed bills" from the Fed. That's the reality of you and me accessing the situation right now. We can't do a damn thing about the bankers except elect Ron Paul and pray. The US govt doesn't owe a dime honestly if the world were fair, but it's not so why entertain that way of thinking.

  • @dangerouslytalented I don't agree the US would of crashed in 2008 and this is why. The back-up measures used today haven't fixed the problem or helped it for that matter. If we wouldn't have bailed out the banks, we would still be in the same mess. The US dollar is a world currency. That doesn't mean the dollar would of crashed, as there are many ways to fake our wealth like "print money". The banks pulled a screw job, got bailed out and nothing is for the better.

  • @shadowedge69 No, the back up measures have NOT fixed the problem, because the ONLY THING THAT WAS DONE was to bail out the banks and keep on lending money to them at low interest rates. No actual reform has been done.The Bush/Obama solution (it took place just as Obama was elected) was to simply prop up the system, whereas they should have installed PROPER reforms that would have limited the abuses that destroyed the system in the first place.

  • The US government has so much blatant corruption now that it is considered standard procedure - and no one even reacts to it anymore. Scary stuff. This stuff would make the Somalian police force blush in comparison... and yet it is perpetrated practically out in the open and we even know the specific names and numbers of most of those involved. These people belong in jail - they are traitors to their constituents and their position of trust. Only in America :(

  • Is there such a thing as non-taxation without representation?

  • I kind of want Obama to win so we can sit around and watch K street fuck the dog

  • @EsCurve They will fuck the dog with Obama, Gingrich, Romney, Paul or Santorum.

  • Disgusting.

  • Ron Paul takes $0.00 from lobbyist.

  • America is a plutocratic democracy. A bourgeoisie democracy were workers and normal people have almost nothing to say. The problem also lies with the huge right-wing media. CNN, Fox News and yes even MSNBC are part of it. When it comes to capitalism at its core, even MSNBC will back off ( see Cenk and his time at MSNBC ). The capitalists control the media, the state, the economy and the education of children. Socialism is the only alternative, people just need to see it and that is the problem.

  • @UDSS Yes Socialism and "freedom" worked so well in former Eastern Europe Com-block countries and Russia. So many of them keep the Socialist system after the fall of the Soviet Empire right?...you fucking retard

  • @DaytonaRoadster "Socialism" means ownership of means of production you are talking about totalitarian version. There is social democracy which is widespread in WESTERN Europe including where I live. It is nice. Also there is libertarian version called also "anarchism" it is more utopian but everybody must have a dream...

  • @SystemLordNemo last i heard, you fuckers had to take money out of OUR economy, because yours is on the verge of bankruptcy, the people have little confidence in your currency, Muslims are murdering you citizens in England and Northern Europe, and Italy and Greece are about to go bankrupt as countries...ya, AND you're ruled by a class of bureaucrats you dont even get to vote for, or other countries tell you not to hold elections. Take you Communist ideas and ram them right up your ass

  • @DaytonaRoadster Actually, if you added all the murders of nonmuslims by muslims in Western Europe in the pasat year TOGETHER, they would still not add up to the murders of the rightwinger Anders Behring Breivik.

    Greece, Ireland, Iceland and Portugal are faltering because of exposure to AMERICAN run financial dirivitives.

  • @DaytonaRoadster Ah the economic mess of EU that is great triumph of the lawless markets pardon me if I do not support it. "Italy, Greece" For example Greece have outdated bureaucratic systems. And "bureaucrats" ARE part of elected body even in todays representative democracy anybody that is elected can choose them. Btw Muslims are transferred here because of their demand of cheap labor. And there still is difference between communism and social democracy.

  • @SystemLordNemo Canada is orange with social democracy as the New Democratic Party in Canada is the official opposition party. Y'all are surrounded.

  • @SystemLordNemo Please,stop with the preachy tone.After the European economic disaster,youd think Europeans would not tout their brilliant policies to the world. But,it seems you Europeans smell your farts no matter what!

    Btw,no offense,but what works for Finland,a tiny country dependent on America for its protection,wont work for a serious superpower.Its just true,.accept it..you would never meet an American who knows Finnish politics.Your country is too minor to be a real basis for comparison

  • @Mrparrot73 I know exactly what went wrong. Countries of Europe are at different levels of economic development and when the trade barriers where cut down the stronger areas out competed the weaker areas. If the transformation would have been slower then there would have been no problems but all powerful lawless market is kind of religion nowadays everywhere. Protection? Finland has no enemies. And corporatism is not good for anyone faster the 'states get ride of it the better.

  • @SystemLordNemo Why does Finland have no enemies? Because it is too small to matter. America is a superpower and it is impossible for a superpower not to make enemies.

    Do you see? What works for Finland cant possibly work for America.

    From what I have read, Europe is in an economic mess. Sort it out. Till then, Western Europe should not preach.

  • @DaytonaRoadster No, that is where the balance was far too far in the hands of the state. It is a matter of balance, which is why nations like Australia and New Zealand and Sweden and Norway and South Korea and Japan, and well most of Western Europe are doing relatively fine compared to America. They have far better balanced economies.

  • The one thing you have to give it to those in power with alot of money is they keep their word on buying people to do their bidding even if that bidding harms america & its people. People who do not have money behind a voice hence the people picketing wall street... what remarks for those who endured all that they did for the betterment of their fellow americans? They were called hippies lazy & whatever negatives people could think of & they sacrificed themselves for you & me... for free even.

  • 2:30 'Million' is not spelled correctly.

  • Bipartisan = Average people being screwed over.

  • Cenk - my apologies :)

  • @occupyDyoutube vote 2012

  • Cenk, do you know what "literally" means?

  • Four South Carolina Senators Endorse Ron Paul for President 2012. Has anyone news media said anything about this? NO!!

  • @1uneek Why would they? Paul sucks.

  • @BlackMambakins

    Tell that to the middle east.

  • @BlackMambakins yEA YOU SUCK. Tell that to all the thousands who support a true American. The other bozos are fucking everyone else and if you are here in the states that means you too.so how does your ass feel so far?

  • @1uneek Only four? Out of how many? I mean Paul is supposed to be a frontrunner isn't he?

  • @dangerouslytalented according to the big media he is not the front runner. They know he will fuck things up for the corruption so they wont show him. He is it man. He is a threat to all those corrupt 1 percenters. the media is trying their best to shut him up and its too obvious. im 44 yrs old man I know what i see.

  • @1uneek There would be no bigger threat to them than a complete systematic collapse.

  • @dangerouslytalented So you think. My Grandmother always said " they're good but they're not that good".

  • @1uneek More like "Its not a perfect solution, but at least it does not end with the whole house burning down"...

  • Cent did they try to buy You?, because it looks cheaper to buy some kind of media than it is to buy a congressman.

  • @gus6513 His name is Cenk.. and MSNBC did try to buy him off and he said no. Thats why I stand by TYT.

  • @BlackMambakins Instead he sold out to Al "fucking" Gore instead. LMAO

  • @gus6513 They tried to buy him, yes. MSNBC hired him, they tried to tone him down somewhat, even offered him greater pay if he toned it down, and he would not do it.

    The media is relatively easy to influence. All you have to do is install the right managing editor.

  • Americans dont care about this issue people. They are so scared of the shadow of the USSR that they are still fighting communism.

    Thus mistaking corporatism (fascism) for social capitalism (Germany). Its the biggest misconception told by conservative politician to the american electorate. Democrats are not that much better either.

  • @okayplayer82 True it's amazing how cold war propaganda is still affecting how people think! Get over it people communism is a dead ideaology ! Even china is going to have to let it go sooner or later

  • @okayplayer82 your comment would be more true had it been posted 10-20 years ago...but most americans are not even thinking of the USSR or hold fears of communism...actually in recent polls show that americans are concerned by a 2 to 3 margin that they are concerned with the rich and are protected and get breaks rather than a concern with over regulation and entitlement spending....i think the american people are catching on

  • "I don´t know why are we so badshaped, if we have the best polititians money can buy"

  • @kimbuo we are not paying them thats why we are in bad shape, Meanwhile the rich are paying maybe 15% taxes and bitching about it so they ARE buying the politicians and they are doing just fine. This is the reason I believe society is dumb this shit would not fly in the old days.

  • Im not gonna lie, 800,000 to 1.5 Million a yr is quite a motivating factor. I'd bet 99% of the posters here would take that figure in a heart beat if it mean selling out. We need to change the system man, and quick.

  • See this must be Obama awesome strategy that everyone is talking about. Cozy up to all these people buying our politicians so they have nothing to fear. Then when a bought out Congress passes the NDAA, Obama calls for indefinite detention of Americans. K Street feels unthreatened by this so they all vote for it. Obama then turns his back on them and detains them all. What a genius.

  • Derrick Mason and Lee Evan way to go after the Raven Cenk, lol.

  • Jesus Christ, the corruption in the United States is so bold face now these blood sucking vampires just come out and drink from the trough and no longer hide their deceit,

    Just watch Casino Jack...Bloody hell

  • we can't buy them to go in the Right direction, unfortunately.

    1 person with $1million is a lot more powerful than 10 people with $100,000 each.

  • Its A Mad World

  • Anonymous 2012!

  • @ADHR26 FOR MEGAUPLOAD!

  • Best line one can have in his or her resume?

    Magna or Suma Cum Laude Ivy League School Grad - NO.

    Rhodes Scholar - NO

    Top Producer or Performer at job - NO

    Vice President, President or CEO of Fortune 1000 Company - NO.

    Member of Congress, regardless of performance or length of tenure - Good as Gold. You'll never have worry about finding a job again even if left Congress in disgrace.

  • @TinyMcLarge I think you missed the point. I used the NRA as an example, but my post was referring to how the NRA or any other lobby would have to comply with the rules, and what compliance would look like. Second, the second amendment says you can have arms, but when the amendment was written, there were regulated militias that had regular meetings and they were certified by the states. So no, its not an invitation to own sub machine guns, and the key word is regulated.

  • @Newenlightenmentnow How dare you you communist. You want to regulate something in the USA. How fucking DARE you! Regulation is the work of the devil, my pastor told me so!

  • @DaBamBamMan Hahahah

  • Hey - America without corruption would'nt be America!

  • Being politician has become a real job these days.

  • And people wonder why the 99% were occupying Wall St. instead of D.C.

  • Why is YouTube is not allowing any Young Turk videos in their News Section?

  • @AwesomeBlackDude Because facts are often considered biased in America...

  • capitalism? forgetaboutit

  • only an ignorant like Cenk goes about blaming the rich, there's a different between legitimate rich and corrupt rich, but Cenk like so many of his children followers don't get that

  • @toastm4n We have all been saying all along that we aren't against capitalism. We are against corruption, we are pro regulation on campaign donations and pro higher taxes. We don't hate all the rich you ignorant little child.

  • @convictPKlol lol you retarded bitch, why not listen to the entire video before you comment with your chocolate covered greasy fingers

  • @toastm4n Pot calling the kettle black. I think it's you who should have listened more carefully.

  • This is very sad.

  • 1.5 milion

  • corruption sucks

  • IWANNABEASENATORNOW!

  • I wonder how you become a politician in the first place...Oh yeah, you have to graduate from a University. If you go through the system, you can change the way the country works. If it started with you, it could end with you. Companies force us to make political contributions too, Unions, they give our money to these people, and we cannot pass a law in the country to end this because that is how all of government makes their money, from us, our taxes, and big business.

  • A government for the rich

    By the rich

    And of the rich

  • @talktothehand1212 That's why you need to support Ron Paul 2012!!!

  • @talktothehand1212

    We call that a plutocracy.

  • Do impeached politicians work on K street or would impeaching them put a stop to that sh!t?

  • Loved the Handegg analogy there Cenk.

  • Barney Frank wont work on K street? Just like how Dodd wont work on.....oh wait

  • @Plasticoverable Frank is a piece of shit, no good motherfucker. A gay sex ring was operated out of his home in which several underage boys were used. Fucking pedophile piece of shit, no good motherfucker.

  • @Plasticoverable why do you people even care if they do it or not ??

  • @Plasticoverable it's not a partisan argument. Get over it. They all do. That's the problem.

  • Looks like Romanmir started a new account. Awwwww did too many people start ignoring you.

  • You guy's are screwing up my cricket services with these ads on here.

  • I'll get a laugh when Barney Frank goes into lobbying and Cenk remembers when he bought that Chris Dodd wasn't going to lobby.

  • Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, all conspired and participated in the housing bubble crisis. In fact, Frank's buddy was like head of Fannie Mae or something. This is actually the biggest problem. When you point a finger, you have 3 fingers pointing back at you. Voting records are clear. Eliminate (D) and (R), go with YEA or NAY, go back to NAFTA, Bailouts and other things and imprison those who voted us into this mess.

  • Obama and other Dems took in a record amount from corporate donors in 2008. It is very clear now that Obongo, with <200 days experience, was not properly vetted. We can all agree Bush was terrible, right? Obama is Bush times ten.

  • @biozamadotcom

    Bush times ten? So like... 10 9/11 attacks, 20 wars, 10 Hurricane Katrinas, $49 trillion expansion of the debt, and 10 times the largest economic collapse since 1929? I don't think so. No matter how much you dislike Obama, Bush was and will always be worse. People really are quick to forget....

  • @CaptainCallidus The money on bailouts exceed that under Bush. Also, no one is going to defend Bush, but then, Obama continues Bush war/bailout policy, exceeds it, and nothing is said. The NDAA exceeds the patriot act. It is actually quite hard to tell the difference between the 2 and yes, talk to any small biz owner, and they are worse off now than under Bush.

  • @biozamadotcom we could agree if all ignored facts or have the amoeba-like memories of those who don't seem to remember the days of "W".

    I would hate to be so full of shit to make a statement like that. Obama has not been great by any means. But comparing him to Bush? Nigga please.

  • @FlatulenceFox The comparison on wars and bailouts and NDAA/Patriot act is so much alike, that Obama appears as Bush in Blackface. They even look the same with the ears.

  • @biozamadotcom You do know that TARP was passed under Bush, don't you? (rhetorical).

    The auto bailout worked. You will only look foolish for criticizing that one, especially since GM is back in the #1 position after going nearly bankrupt.

    You did say that Obama is 10x worst than Bush, but which Administration was the grand architect of the Patriot Act? You can criticize Obama for extending provisions of the Act and for NDAA. I do myself.

    But, still, you miss the point of this entire story.

  • How much Obama is going to get when he retires? 10 million?

  • Why don't they just call them what they are: Rape-ublicans.

  • $800,000 to $1.5 million from lobbying firms. Wow, how is this not seen as a corrupting influence?

  • If ppl were serious (R) and (D) would not matter. Instead, it would be YEA or NAY on things like the Bailouts, ObamaCare, NDAA, yet this continues with this division. It's alright though, keep it goin' until the bitter end, because the USA is done.

  • A mock draft? What is this? The NFL?

  • Trouble is the only people who can stop the corruption are themselves. It's like waiting for an alcoholic to hit rock bottom. Don't hold your breath.

  • american politics wont work like that forever as long as we have the protests and wolf-pac(dot)com

  • "The desire to be a politician should bar you from life for ever being one."

    Billy Connolly

  • Why exactly would a lifetime ban from lobbying be a bad thing?
