Russ Feingold and Ron Johnson talk about their closeness to the Tea Party

[drumheadcircle]

Walker is a human being with actual emotions. Ron is a Draco who poisons our waters. He is a reptile who paid $250,000.00 to get his tons of plastic his company dumped -secret from the public at election time. How is that legal, and not buying your way to victory? These Draco- blood drinkers' need to be held to tyhe same law of the land as the rest of us.

[enjoyitbro]

Two things Ron Johnson did that the weasel piss ant Walker didn't.

#1 Get a college degree

#2 Run a business

Walker is the career douche politican Johnson initially spoke out against.

[edwagner86]

There is some good Feingold news today: he is mounting a progressive movement to address the growing influence of corporations in the American democratic system. The public demonstrations in the Madison, WI (our state capital) show that Wisconsinites still believe in direct participation in our government, and our voices ought to be louder than any corporation's. Continue to support Russ and google his Progressive movement!

[biggerturtle]

@edwagner86 throw Feingold into the streets of Libya

[3122tan]

Right. I'm from Australia and I think you Americans are absolute ass wipes for sending feingold outa the senate. The ONE man that cared about real people. You should be ashamed, everyone that

Voted otherwise. You should just die you are actually THAT useless.

[XMIKE920]

Feingold should have been re elected Wisconsin is a beautiful state but is full of people who are cow milking cheese consuming un inoformed bitches. Russ was a true leader who knew what was too extreme I dont live in Wisconsin but if I did he would have my support. It is such a shame that he lost.

[MsZeitgeist85]

Wisconson is stupid as fuck.

[GiddyLockjaw]

@DanceTrance Why don't we deport your ilk to a fascist country where you can bow down to your corporate rulers and start as many wars as you like? Oh, that's right, just about everyone except the teabaggers realize that fascism just does not work. Don't forget, this isn't not just your America, not everyone has the same idea of what America stands for, and certainly the Native Americans that had to endure your ancestors immigration didn't deport you.

[theliberal24]

Listening to Johnson, I'm forced to conclude that he doesn't really even know the meaning of the buzz words/phrases coming out of his mouth. Here's a man running and voting on his own wallet and nothing else.

[Cullen592]

@DanceTrance He does everything in his power to dismantle it? really? I suppose thats why he was THE ONLY SENATOR to vote against the patriot act. Check your facts moron.

[DanceTrance100]

@Cullen592 What is that suppose to mean? He's just as confused as the rest of them. Whether he read the patriot act or not he didn't vote for it because he's a moron. President Obama just extended the Patriot Act. You have to take everything into consideration because there are reasons for it and reasons not for it. It's sad when America has to enact temporary laws onto people because we allow so many Muslims and now Hispanics to this country with benefits and we still can't trust them.

[DanceTrance100]

Here's a good stimulus plan for all the liberals, socialists, progressives, communists, and democrats. We will spends billions of dollars to bail you out of this country to countries who already have socialism and communism. France, China, or Cuba, etc. It would really stimulate the economy and create jobs. Also, tax payers won't feel burdened because it will be for the greater good.

[DanceTrance100]

People should study taxes the government imposes on individuals before making attacks against either party. Maybe a little independent research could help you choose where you stand before giving the government your money or I mean the government taking your money. Who can you trust more the government or corporations? And just remember when taxes are raised by the government, corporations raise their prices & pass the tax burden onto consumers. Consumer always hurts the most.

[betterpresident09]

Republicans and Tea Partiers are evil to the core. VOTE DEMOCRATIC!! The ramifications of a Republican Congress will be monstrous!

[DanceTrance100]

@betterpresident09 where's the evil? The only evil I recognize is a progressive Democrat creating liar ads against genuine individuals. For example: Taliban Dan. How many Republicans do you see creating attack ads where the context of the factual information doesn't matter. Democratic Alan Grayson should be ashamed of himself for attacking Republican Daniel Webster with a disturbing campaign smear ad that misinforms the public. Democrats are good at spreading misinformation to the public.

[betterpresident09]

@DanceTrance100 So you're get'n a little dirty rhetoric, too sad! "Dan" tried to solicit money from the Middle East for a road from his property to Disney; he wants to cut Soc.Sec and privatize; he wants to rid us of Health Care Reform; said "women should be submissive and obedient to their husbands." Down with Dan. Grayson is a people's hero and Floridians must keep him. Good that dirty politics (Rove,American Crossroads,FredomWorks, Kochs Bros) are dealt with. "Dan the Taliban," too kind.

[DanceTrance100]

@betterpresident09 have you even listen to Daniel's speech when talking about women. Of course not, because dirty Alan made the whole thing up. Daniel preaches to not treat women with disrespect & not be submissive. You of course are confused. The messed thing is Daniel isn't even Muslim. How can somebody compare an individual to a terrorist group when Daniel is a decent man. Alan is dirty. Soc. Sec. has ran out of money. I'd rather keep the money on my check & "choose" whether I want it.

[loosofher]

I don't understand the supposed 'deficit spending' that Tea Party'ers seem to be so concerned about when they almost NEVER mention the outrageous cost of the continued war machine. Furthermore, most of these people were FOR the war, and I havent seen any tea party talk about the war in much depth. What, war has no costs? Monetarily or bodily? That's why I don't buy these Tea Party people as being genuine.

[DanceTrance100]

@loosofher Obama just sent 30,000 more troops into Afghanistan. Quite a contradiction against war. Also, many Dems voted for the war in Iraq. You might be a nice person and not swat a fly, but Muslim's still stone their own women to death. You talk about human rights, Muslim's devalue life. You have no rights in a communist country. Tyrants control all of the Middle East. If you see where other countries are having the most problems, it's with Muslims. How ironic.

[DanceTrance100]

Russ Feingold claims to read the Constitution every day religiously, but yet he does everything in his power to dismantle it. Where does Russ Feingold stand "On the Issues?" Way out in left field.

[betterpresident09]

If Wisconsin allows this wealthy corporatist Johnson to unseat the very honorable and progressive Senator Feingold they will be showing that they've been drinking the kool-aid served by the Republican, do nothing for the people, bunch. President Obama has done a remarkable job keeping the country from going off the rails, and he needs a strong Democratic Congress. Wise up Wisconsin, and don't be stupid, Feingold is one of the few honest politicians. VOTE DEMOCRATIC!

[DanceTrance100]

@betterpresident09 Why would anybody vote Democrat since Wisconsin has been run into the ground by Democrats?

[betterpresident09]

@DanceTrance100 From what I know of Wisconsin, it has been one of the most stable states in the nation for decades. All states are having problems financially and the problems started long before the last two years. The Bush administration made sure that when the next administration came in, and they were pretty sure that it wouldn't be Republicans, they messed things up so bad that only Jesus returning could make heads or tails of things. Wise up, Feingold is the best.

[DanceTrance100]

@betterpresident09 don't forget why Obama was elected, he could fix anything, so we thought. As being a stable state, I would have to disagree. We are a welfare state losing jobs with no incentives to help save them or create them. The private sector has been burdened by the government for so long & it is time for the inefficient public sector to stop wasting taxpayers money. Corporations pay for all government in America. Why is corporate so bad when politicians get their check from them?

[betterpresident09]

@DanceTrance100 "Corporations pay for all government in America. Why is corporate so bad when politicians get their check from them?" Do you know that huge corporations have managed to not pay ANY taxes at all. Politicians are being paid by corporate interest, NOT TO DO THE PEOPLE'S WORK. Small businesses employe more people than large corporations. Unemployment is high because corporations have taken the jobs and their money to low wage countries and their money to the Caymans.

[DanceTrance100]

@betterpresident09 I don't know if you are just making up your own information or somebody is feeding you it, because what you say doesn't make any sense. Are you an envious person? Do you feel entitled to things? Anyways, unemployment is high because of the government. Do you think corporations are making laws to take your rights away? Only government can. Small / large businesses and working citizens in America have the highest tax burden in the world. You should be proud to pay more taxes.

[papibuddy]

I can't stand this guy Johnson what a putz. All he does is find fault but he has no solutions. He has not opinion on how to improve things. He's just trying to buy the election with his millions. Yes, of course the only issue he really has an opinion about is keeping the tax brakes for the rich. He could give a crap about the poor or middle class. What's with the head shaking? I wonder if he has early onset of alzheimers?

[DanceTrance100]

@papibuddy If you look where he stands on the issues, Johnson is far better qualified than Russ Feingold that is why Johnson actually has a big chance. Wisconsin can't blame its problems on Republicans because Democrats have been running this state for years. Liberals destroyed public education & jobs. They created pension scandals/debts for Milwaukee residents which forced the raising of taxes on all individuals in Milwaukee County. Then blame Scott Walker? Thats why Walker was elected.

[DanceTrance100]

@papibuddy you watch. When Milwaukee County government employees retire they are going to receive a seemingly unusual pension in a big lump sum that Milwaukee won't be able to afford without raising taxes. Taxes are going to go up no matter what unless the County goes bankrupt.

[DanceTrance100]

Here is the CBO report 2010. Youtube doesn't allow web addresses so I'm going to split this page up into three sections. blog.heritage. org/2009/03/24 /bush-deficit-vs-obama-deficit­-in-pictures/

[DanceTrance100]

@saadasim It doesn't matter about the party it matters about the person. Most of the time a party member will side with that parties view. And that view is what the party stands for. Democrats and Republicans support different views. Some are confused. There are Republican liberals, & Democratic conservatives. This is where you have to take everything into consideration. During Bush, a Democratic Congress spent a lot of money. During Clinton, Republican Congress created a surplus.

[saadasim]

@DanceTrance100 The majority of time, Bush had a Republican Congress. The war against Iraq was started in a Republican Congress. All those nobid contracts to Haliburton et al were during a Republican Congress. Clinton would have the Rpublican Congress in control by his veto power so he could create a surplus.

[DanceTrance100]

Ron Johnson for US Senate! Get Feingold out of office. That guy needs to go. We need somebody positive for a change. Somebody who plays by the rules of economics. Speaking of hope and change, I'm not sitting around wishing on stars. Does anybody know what Russ has done to benefit Wisconsin rather than create damage? I can come up with 10 reasons why Russ is a waste of a senate on the top of my head. It's an irony that I can't think of one good reason to keep him.

[DanceTrance100]

Typical liberals find it easier to attack a person than the issues. Do you not realize the Democrats intend to reward ambition with higher taxes? A penny earned is a penny taxed. Realistically, the economy is so bad the federal stimulus checks are bouncing. How many jobs were created with your tax dollars of stimulus? That's right, the government is only suppose to create services not jobs. Liberals are complete idiots, or more appropriately just ignorant. They believe in nothing.

[demayonnaise]

Here's an idea: If our government spends too much money, let's get the hell out of Iraq, Afghanistan, Korea, Japan, Italy, Germany and anywhere else we have a military presence.

[rueisl8423]

i tattooed the constitution on my face

[maximumsamshow]

Creative Destruction lol this guy si so scary!

[briwond]

Starting at 2:40 WTF is Feingold smoking?! The Tea Party is against the Patriot Act?? 99 senators voted FOR the Patriot Act (try to get 99 people to agree on anything). This knob was the only horse's ass that voted against the act, embarassing Wisconsin (like we need that), and just so russ can keep his idiotic maveric status...whatever the hell thats worth. I cant stand this prick. The Tea Party is for protecting this nation, including the Patriot Act, you leftist elitist sack of crap!

[lucasetten]

@briwond you think the patriot act is a good thing?

[DanceTrance100]

@lucasetten do you think 911 was a good thing? Do you think the Bailouts were a good thing? Do you think Stimulus is a good thing? Nationalizing heath care? Sending troops into Afghanistan? Copenhagen? Cap and Trade? There has to be a reason for the Patriot Act because Obama just extended it. Feingold is so confused he didn't even vote for Bush's stimulus, but he goes ahead and votes for Obama's enormous stimulus. Feingold is to unstable.

[briwond]

@DanceTrance100 Excellent comments my friend :D

[papibuddy]

@briwond I can't stand this guy Johnson what a putz. All he does is find fault but he has no solutions. He has not opinion on how to improve things. He's just trying to buy the election with his millions. Yes, of course the only issue he really has an opinion about is keeping the tax brakes for the rich. He could give a crap about the poor or middle class. What's with the head shaking? I wonder if he has early onset of alzheimers?

[demayonnaise]

@briwond Feingold was the only senator who actually read the damn thing and realized it went too far, taking away too many citizens' rights. The rest of the senators were too lazy to do their job, and blindly voted on it in the wake of 9.11. Kudos, Mr. Feingold.

[briwond]

@demayonnaise Good ol' rusty read the bill, huh? I do you know? Don't tell me Feingold said he read it LOL I don't believe a single word that comes out of that man's mouth.. Besides, the bill doesn't violate anyone's rights - that's just silly thinking from libs like you. 99 senators (alot of them lib dems) voted FOR the Patriot Act. Feingold only voted against it to draw attention to himself; he's probably for it if you gave him some truth syrup

your buddy rusty is gonna lose. you know that

[stevenapoleon]

@demayonnaise Feingold is a fake, He is a really liberal guy who went to Harvard and hates successful people. He is a tax and spend faker.

Ron knows how to create jobs and knows how we will get more jobs back here.

Ron is way on it

[stevenapoleon]

Feingold you need to figure out how you can make other people make more. Not talk about how you are a leaker who could not cut it in the business world.

Feingold has to find out where to wrk where you cannot use that Harvard education against successful people

[tigzgz]

bye bye Russ !!!!!!! another tax payer sponge !!!! bye bye Russ He loved the 2nd amendment ?? He votes for anti gun Supreme Courts Justices. He loves the 2nd Amendment ?? yea right !!! another lie Russ. Bye Bye Russ

[lucasetten]

@tigzgz he voted AGAINST a ban on assault weapons in 2008. How does he not support the 2nd Amendment?

[tigzgz]

@lucasetten Check bill S 1152, HR 1025, S397, S 1117, S1626, 1 vote does not make him a supporter. He has voted in our favor when it makes him look good. The NRA rates him a "C".

[tigzgz]

bye bye Russ !!!!!!! another tax payer sponge !!!! bye bye Russ

[haberstr]

Feingold: "I was the only Senator who voted against the Patriot Act, because it invaded personal freedom, and the tea party people agree with me on that. I tell you what else they agree with me on: they thought those trade agreements that sent our manufactuting jobs overseas were terrible. They devastated the state of Wisconsin. Mr Johnson disagrees ... he calls those trade agreements and what they did to us creative detruction."

[DanceTrance100]

Feingold has a huge taxpayer spending record. Here's a good plan for American workers, cut spending and taxes. Ohh that's right, Feingold can't do that because there's too much government and union voters/workers. The Tea Party movement is huge and history is going to be made. Citizens are sick of being held down by government. Don't believe the lie's America/Wisconsin, Feingold is a dirty democratic politic running liar ads.

[demayonnaise]

@DanceTrance100 All I heard was blah, blah, blah. You watch a lot of Fox News, don't you?

[saadasim]

@DanceTrance100 Cutting spending is easy. Bring the troops home. Ron Paul showed you guys the way but you don't bother to listen to him.

[DanceTrance100]

@saadasim bringing the troops home would be really nice, but President Obama just sent around 30,000 more troops into Afghanistan and the reason why is that Muslim extremists are out of control over there. The cost of the war over a 10 year period cost less than Obama's stimulus/bailouts. Obama spent about a trillion dollars in his first year in office. See how Dems are hypocrites. It's a double standard when spending is only an issue for Republicans, but Dem's can spend as much as they want?

[saadasim]

@DanceTrance100 But Bush said, "Mission Accomplished!"  Doesn't the Tea Party want our soldiers home or do they want to go after Iran now?

I personally think it was a mistake for Obama to listen to Bush's generals and continue the war. He should change the generals and try to get the soldiers back home.

"The cost of the war over a 10 year period cost less than Obama's stimulus/bailouts"

Is that something you just pulled out of your mouth or do you have any facts to back it up?

[DanceTrance100]

@saadasim Ron Paul is confused as a Republican Congressman. He voted to send troops into Afghanistan, but continues to debate he doesn't want to be there.

[SeleccionesMundiales]

They carry the constitution? Well, I carry the US constitution on my iPhone and I prefer coffee over tea.

[jadedoverdose]

Fiengold is one of the few good ones with a backbone and johnson uses prison labor and saves $10,000 per year per worker letting taxpayers pick up their health care costs while he campaigns against government subsidies to business (except when those businesses are well connected are we to assume ????)

[w900L]

Hate is what liberals do best. Feingold can't go for anybody's throat. He's to busy saving his own. In a few days, hell be out of a job. Why is Russ trying to endear himself to the Tea Party? Why does he avoid the President like the plague? He knows what the people want. He's no dummy. But its too late for that.

[DeathSquadDesign]

@w900L Avoid the President like the plague? Did you see the rally in Madison?

[el100783]

Johnson....what a fucking snake. I hate this man. Sen Feingold should have went for his throat in this debate, every time he parroted a Fox News talking point.
