UC Berkeley Democrats vs. Republicans on CNBC

[vcdna1]

All I hear is two fucking morons arguing pointlessly at left and right. Dems vs Rep is white people version of Blood vs Crips. Useless waste of time and in the end we only fuck up our own neighborhood.

[DaleEarnhardtRIP]

It sounded like the Democrat chick was auto-tuned :3

[IHABC8]

I'm liberal. Ergo, I Iike everyone.

[Porojukaha]

Hilarious how the republican guy is a stereotypical good looking good ole boy and the liberal is a stereotypical fugly ass feminist.

[THEGLASSOFMILK2]

@Porojukaha You're ridiculous. She's not ugly and he's not good looking. He's even kind of fat.

[Porojukaha]

@THEGLASSOFMILK2 matter of opinion I guess. I would say she is nasty ugly. I know she looks like what is chic in berkeley and if you are into the drab hipster look then whatever. But personally I think its ugly. You think hes kind of fat? well hes not perfect, but hes a lot better looking than your average joe. I know that in berkeley he wouldnt be classified as good looking because he kind of looks like a jock. But then, people in berkeley are freaking crazy so who cares

[THEGLASSOFMILK2]

@Porojukaha You shouldn't call people ugly! GROW UP.

[flamingpinkflamingo0]

@Porojukaha Wow! I actually interned with Suzanne Ruecker(campaign coordinator) for a mayoral campaign in san francisco, and her looks changed tremendously. She isn't ugly as you think she is. And that republican is kinda cute(just a matter of opinion).

[dohenry3000]

I think his last comment on entitlement is true. Everyone is feeling like they are entitled the same life styles as those that work their ass off. The argument for higher taxes is always that rich people have enough to spare and should be forced to. Yes, it's true that republicans are self serving but that's what makes them reach the level they are. They don't just go to Law school or medical school to end up giving their money away.

[DCfreak87]

POLITICS SUCK!! we should never need them, its them that make our troops look bad and they should all burn in hell stupid little fucking neo nazi political bitches!! and if you think im a dumbass then FUCK YOU!!

[SonHoover]

[MarvelDCComicsHero]

i dont have a problem with conservatives,

but fuck republicans

[MrBloc7]

the Republican guy gave a very good answer when asked about the war :)

[IIBuGzeeYY]

Bomb Berkeley.

[padude64]

I do not think the republicans understand what stimulus means????

You have to spend money to make money but you must have regulations in place which Bush never did!!!!!!!!!

[funkwuzzle]

We need both partys they say all democrats are librel but you can be demacrat conservative i dont belive in legalizing weed or taking away guns thats changing are constitution but im not against gay rights i only beileve in going to war for the right reasons when the founding fathers founded this country they belived in minding our own buisness not just geting into wars we dont need to be in iraq none of the people who hijacked the planes on 9/11 were iraqi i dont believe in as much well fare

[waster125]

>i dont belive in legalizing weed

Get the fuck out of here

[vmf214nb]

you get the fuck out of here fuckshit loser and stop partying so much and grow up, you ignorant lazy dumb uneducated little child

[waster125]

lol why?

[born2ditchU]

Those red necks republicants are just not capable to face serious matters: take george bush or judd cregg..they choked..lol..when it was time to face serious challenges. also their IQ has always been low: george bush being their leader for 8 years,,,rfaol! can't get as low as that. So Barack Obama has to stop considering those rednecks who are better known for drinking whiskey, bullying the world, rednecking and riding cows! lmfaol!

[guitardude578]

Stupid Democrat. I don't need you to invest my money in the future of this country. I can invest MY money in MY future MYSELF as a citizen of this great country. Let the people invest in this country not it's goverment.

[Soonerg212]

So much for your theory. Look at where this ideology has us now. In the peoples hands, so much for that. Most American individual are being payed less and less. Actually by having a low paying wage these days,their isn't much money we Americans are making to invest in anything. Look how low the stocks continue to sink. I'm amazed how these so call supply side economics ideals continue to buy into this bankrupt idea. This boom to bust economy doesn';t work.

[guitardude578]

Ok. So you're saying that if a cashier's wage jumps from $7.50 an hour to $15.00an hour that they are going to buy stock? That's a joke. There's a reason she's a cashier. She's not one for sucess. This country was founded on freedom. Democrats don't believe that freedom is necessary anymore. They see the needs of the people as too great to take care of themselves. So we have now crawled to the status of a semi-socialist country. Are we going to be purley socialist 100 years from now? 50?

[Soonerg212]

You just made my point exactly. Those who have more money,lets say the rich. Can buy influence in our own governments to look out for there own special interest instead of representing all Americans equaly. You talk about freedom as if we live in the wild west and live in an open space. We have freedom but when comes to finance all Americans diserve an opportunity to prosper. Your idea on freedon is freedom for the few who has all the wealth. What your really saying to us is accept Plutocracy.

[JarJar88forever]

You still think the Free Market is a good idea? Let the Chinese buy the Greatest Nation on earth for a dime on the Dollar?

[guitardude578]

You're a complete IDIOT. You think the free market has ANYTHING to do with why we owe China a single DIME? Our GOVERMENT has spent such a vast amount of money that we do not have the currency to back it up. So we borrow from other countries. Namely China. China buys the funds in our federal treasuries when they loan us money. You think American buisnessmen have the power to actually sell America to the Chinease? You obviously know nothing about the deficet works. Or very, very basic economics.

[JarJar88forever]

Yes, I'm an IDIOT...HAHAHAHA. You'll figure it out when some Chinese Free Market Stud is banging your sister & making her like it because he's the only guy in town with a job. Walmarica is the GREATEST COUNTRY ON EARTH.

[blootmens]

Who says your country is the greatest?

[guitardude578]

Their aren't many good minds in politics. If there were the world of free trade and buisness woulds steal them all away.

[guitardude578]

REPUBLICANS ARE FOR LOGIC AND REASON.

DEMOCRATS ARE FOR GUT FEELING AND EMOTIONAL EMPATHY.

I believe our nation should be run on the former.

[MetalGearNaked]

@guitardude578

You're wrong dude

Republicans are for self-centeredness and corporations

Democrats are for gut feelings and emotional empathy

Independents like me are for logic and reason

My 2 cents :D

[guitardude578]

Dude I'm Libertarian. Not Republican. But Republican's are the best thing I have right now.

[MetalGearNaked]

@guitardude578

Personally, I think both the Democrats and Republicans are anti-American traitors, and they disregard what our Founding Fathers said. And I'm a constitutionalist to sum up my ideology.

[IndigoVagrant]

@guitardude578 Look up max blumenthal generation chickenhawk. College republicans are such a joke. 

[lithiu2k]

It was the Democrat's idea of making it "easier" for people to own homes by allowing them to take out loans they can't afford to pay back. Under the loan program, the documentation is listed as "No income. No Asset." Don't blame Bush for the mortgage meltdown. Bush did not tell or force those naive homeowners to buy homes they can't afford. They brought it upon themselves, thanks to the Democrat's lousy idea.

[jigglypuff3]

Yes that is true, Jimmy Carter was the first to enact those policies and it was Clinton that pushed them even Farther. However it would not have started if we did not deregulate the markets. People especially conservatives believe that the economy, as well as housing and Medicare have natural laws like gravity....They dont. It was not a lousy idea to start programs intended to help out the poor and working classes however it was a lousy idea to deregulate and reinstitute trickle down economics

[IndigoVagrant]

@lithiu2k Look up max blumenthal generation chickenhawk. College republicans are such a joke.

[cikenberry3]

I am shocked there is even one Republican at Berkley. Shes right college Republicans are a little chemically imbalanced. They always seem to be drama queens.

[soaffb1337]

that Democrat girl has it backwards(Dems do publicity stunts) and she is BFU(butt fuckin ugly(doesnt have to do with her views but im just pointing it out)...

P.S.ABORTION IS MURDER!!!

[Vladimus44]

What if a girl is raped and becomes pregnant. What about abortion then?

[althealchemist]

it is still killing a child, regardless.  It is difficult yes, but the child should have a right to life.

[Vladimus44]

Expecialy if the girl is 12 years old.

[BrianCamorano]

what the hell are conservatives doing in Berkely? hahahahahahhahahahahhahaa!

[kristolstarz]

Haha exactly!

[smedranomd]

Go Bears!

Yes to freedom and less government, the great negation of liberty.

Go Ron Paul!!!

[gabecollett]

Kudlow hits a new low

Like Genuflecting to Cheney

I have to admit that hes got that charisma...

of a weasel.

[nicksmith2007]

Ruecker was right!

[trophyLEO]

i dont like the berkeley college republicans or the cal democrats. boo and yah.

[kickass911]

yeah yeah, "protecting ourselves", why don't you say stealing and profiting money from other countries?

[savewhatyouare]

Did the right wing asshole just compare Japan to Iraq? I hate it when these fucks take out notes from this nation's past and try to apply it to the present. Illogical reasoning.

As a Berkeley student, everyone in that video was full of shit. The guy more so than the girl, but still...just all poop.

[ntt510]

Liberals only care about themselves , they will change there opinion if things go wrong. then blame republicans then when things go right they try to take credit.

[snuffydoug]

Don't attack left-wingers. Attack their ideas.

[calbear23]

@ntt510 are you serious, conservatives only care about themselves. they dont wanna help anyone thats lower than them

[j03y2fly]

@calbear23 How do you come up with a statement such as that?

[sarahcuellar]

Berkeley Republicans? Where do I sign up?

[politico007]

Lol. You go to Berkeley? So do I. I am in the club, it is a pretty awesome club if I do say so myself :)

[Whoo69]

"Greatest story never told"?? Hmm... interesting. A financial analyst thinks Bush's tax cuts have had more of an effect than Reagan's cuts? That's a first. It's also bullshit. The cuts weren't more than a few percent per bracket, and the tax brackets are already pretty low. Taxes paid by the top 1% are about 38%, I think.

[JRBeaman]

Whoo69 , you are an idiot. You make statements and then add, "I think". Well, it's obviously you don't. You need to find out the facts instead of drinking the koolaid, and then maybe you will see that the News is bullshit as are the Democrats.

[HBSurfer001]

Eh, again, the "social investment" idea drives me insane. That's from someone that works in investments. At least when I buy and sell stocks I know where the money is going and what is being done with it.

[phantom1412]

hahahaha this makes me laugh

more than half of the campus really doesn't give a shit

[bamatommy]

I don't think you can fairly judge either party by one person on a college campus. What do college students know? Not much.

[HBSurfer001]

Hehe, it's more like what do politically active college students know? Not much, outside of their own bias.

[bamatommy]

Bingo!

[HBSurfer001]

Taxes are a "social investment." That is a joke. The best investment is one you elect to make, not one that is taken from you.

[JRBeaman]

'HBSurfer001' Taxes are a "social investment." That is a joke. The best investment is one you elect to make, not one that is taken from you."

Yeah, right, vote for the democrats that want to raise your taxes. Bushes tax cut saved our bacon. Go take a class on economics before you spout off your crap.

[progala]

Excellent framing of investment in our country by Suzanne. And I thought it funny -- I didn't realize that we had occupied Japan for 40 years!

[HBSurfer001]

Uh, in response to Progala saying they didn't "realize that we had occupied Japan for 40 years" We are still in Japan. We occupy an entire island still.

[JRBeaman]

"HBSurfer001" you are stopid. Go look up the definition of "Ocupation". Having a military base there isn't "occupation", or else we are also occupying Cuba too. You need to learn the facts before spouting your crap.

[suresuccess]

Josiah doesnt even know what being a "supply sider" is...so much for him being a Republican. Nearly 95% of all republicans are supply siders and he doesnt know that! Then again he's president of a huge minority in Berkeley.

[politico007]

I actually am in the Berkeley College, and the real story is that he actually just didn't hear the question right.

[spokmage]

that wall street journal article was bogus... the college republicans inflate their official numbers with names from their mailing list.

WSJ even interviewed my prof (yes, at berkeley) as to whether it was true the BCR was strong, and then chose to disregard it when he said "no".

[Brakkiss]

Suzanne, you spoke well and civilly.

However, I couldn't agree with Josiah more that we are living in a "society of entitlement".

But good job, Suzanne ;)

- Bret

[acheng1021]

let me just say, suzanne's totally hot and i'm damn happy she's my wifey!

[BrianAtCal]

What the heck is "U Cal Berkeley?"

[aspire82]

University of California, Berkeley. You know, there's 9 other UC's.

[BrianAtCal]

yeah, but no one calls it that. it's either cal, or uc berkeley. i was just pointing out that this dude's obviously never been anywhere near berkeley or anyone who goes here.

[gabecollett]

No, what he meant to say was "U Call Berkeley"

because I would never call anyone there with my politics
