McCotter on Fox News Red Eye Discussing Republican Party Principles, Not Rush Limbaugh Distraction

[MrLinolinares]

mccotter would make me proud to be american again

[OptionalFiend]

Rumor has it he's announcing a run for president this week. I like Rep. McCotter and would love to see him run.

[zombies8u]

@OptionalFiend He's formally announcing it tomorrow!!!!

[OptionalFiend]

@zombies8u I thought he was announcing today. I heard yesterday he was going to announce on July 1.

[chris3325]

i approve of my congressman. dude came to my eagle scout court of honor as well. hes what you would refer to as "real".

[misterfrigginYUCK]

Somebody give him a Les paul.

[wiz9496]

McCotter for pres. 2012!!!!

[squidly1117]

The election cycle is too short for the electorate to catch up to his jokes. McCotter/Miller 2020!

[slowhand1007]

@squidly1117 - now that's funny, and poignant.

[fostereric]

criticizing obama is racist

[herbs814]

not criticizing obama is treasonous.

crying racism is cowardice.

[annara]

you are right...blacks can do no wrong.

They were slaves people....learn history. They deserve this! it doesn't matter what he thinks about things. His skin color makes up for his faults.

[aSlavetoBeauty]

Thaddeus for President!!

[koalalauncher]

I like the guest, but I can't stand the host of this show. He epitomizes the douche bag role. I'm a Canadian, so maybe I'm still pissed about him and his moronic co hosts disrespecting the ppl in our military.

[JohnnyBanco]

Your problem is really that your sense of humor sucks...

[koalalauncher]

Not at all. This host sucks, and the morons on his show are just as bad. Sorry, but it's true. The guest, Thaddeus is cool and seems like a good Republican.

[Fenyx6]

@koalalauncher jesus why are canadians so hypersensitive? mad over one comment the host made for the purpose of sarcastic comedy.

[kickyerass]

@koalalauncher No. You suck. And you're 100% wrong about the host and the people on the show. But, yeah; Thad is way cool.. and much more.

[dayglowgreendoor]

This stupid weasel isn't intelligent or well-spoken. If you believe that he is, it is only because you see him through the lens of your ignorance. That sweater vest thing has to be one of the dorkiest things I've seen on a politician in quite some time. The same rednecks and Reicht Wingers who listen to this weasel also believe that the words of Palin or Bachmann make sense. Stupid rednecks.

[Vampiressxghost]

He wore the sweater vest as an homage to Bill Schultz. By the way, where is the substance to your post? Looks like it is all just vacuuous nonsense.

[normynoless]

Scared are you? It must suck to have to release the tree that you've been hugging. Back up your slander of "Reicht Wingers"... Oh wait, you can't. No evidence... You just like to talk shit. As far as being called a redneck... Your Point? I'll fight for my rights as the new white minority. Your "affirmitive action" progam can lick me. That is the definition of racism. I don't believe anything any party tells me. I think for myself. Don't label me because I pay attention.

[aSlavetoBeauty]

what some people don't seem to grasp is that affirmative action is RACIST against minorities, because the subtext is that they cannot succeed on their own merits, and therefore need special treatment! If I were a self-respecting minority, I would NOT want affirmative action, I would desire only to prove my worth based SOLELY upon my skills and qualifications!

[normynoless]

How is not fronted as the 2012 canidate? His banter alone would kill Obama's rhetoric... uh, uh, well I. uh, uh... Is our presidents' response...

[Talloweed]

Intelligence, humor, self-awareness. In a politician?

[Thaddaeus32]

I love this guy... not only cuz his name is Thad lol

[Ecksntrick8]

I'm glad the republican party is dead..very glad.

[pwoznic]

Rush and Triumph in the same sentence from a politician?!!? This guy rules!

[bittergunowner12]

I like this guy a lot.

[salinagrrrl69]

Thad can out cool OBA. Thad can out intelect OBA. Thus in some chamber somewhere the Telepromter (Soros) is sitting in his high seat, petting his white cat, and watching Thad on a GIANT screen. Thad must be DESTROYED!

[kev5655]

lol Bring both Rushes into the picture. PS i think Rush(band) could be better presidents than Obama Rush(band)is way more qoulified

[PawtucketPatriot66]

Rep. McCotter is great! He's been spot on throught the whole financial crsis. The Republican party needs only to look to him to see the way to go. I wish he was my congressman.

[fatdanios]

I hope he will run for president! It's nice to listen to a guy talk without a teleprompter!

[ConcernedVeteran]

If only congress could be chock full of brilliant people like The Thad.

[jhares0311]

Awesome!! This is EXACTLY what the Republicans need to gain popularity again. Funny, articulate, smart and IN TOUCH. Way to go Rep McCotter

[zuzieqz]

Mccotter is one funny dude

[SonicFreqCtrl]

I don't understand this, red eye sounds so stoned lol, why is this one man laughing all the time? (sry i don't understand english perfectly)

[MicrowaveDisplaycom]

Go Congressman, go!

Is Thaddeus McCotter the Tom Bodett of the Right?

pupista. blogspot. com/2009/03/wit-and-wisdom-of-­rep-thaddeus-mccotter.html

[PizzaGod]

McCotter was in fire, I enjoyed this interview, it shows you are human and not just a machine.

[TheCityOfKingsALC]

Rush reference!

[jefeisdguard]

From Thaddeus G. McCotter

Our liberty is from God NOT the government

Our sovereignty is in our souls NOT the soil

Our security is thru strength NOT surrender

Our prosperity is from the private sector NOT the public sector

& our truths are self evident NOT relative

Pretty good!

[EricD]

That's the only funny Republican I've heard in like 15 years.

[EricD]

"Our liberty is from god??!!!" Why would an all-powerful "god" care about any man-made notions?

[MacGhil]

Liberty is not a "man-made notion."

Liberty is a Natural Right. Our Republic was created to protect those Natural Rights.

Read some Locke, Paine and Jefferson.

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men..."

--Declaration of Independence - Thomas Jefferson

[EricD]

That Red Eye show is maybe the saddest thing on Fox. It's one of those embarrassing "hip" attempts. Insecurity, repressed homosexuality and/or racism, and bitterness will never be "hip."

[backtotheday]

"repressed homosexualtiy AND/OR racism"???

Exactly what intellectual criticism are you expressing? Are you truly interested in a debate of issues and ideology or in name calling? This country is in dire straits and that is not constructive.

[wildflowersandi]

Agreed with ya there for sure!

Thx for this share*****

[jimmynorton1001]

It's about Rush, not dire straits. Although dire is pretty good.

[backtotheday]

Rush is good. But we are in dire straits because we want money for nothin.

[midniteKnite]

USA IS A ZOMBIE

World record-Negative No. 1: The 10 trillion dollar debt

World record-Negative No. 2: The 1.7 billion U.S. dollars debt growth per day

World record-Negative No. 3: The 800 billion U.S. dollars current account deficit

[USkicksass]

Well when you have a 14 trillion dollar economy you're bound to break a few monetary records.

[mdconservative]

Too funny!

[diah4]

That's all limbaugh is. a distraction. The republican party is falling apart. LMAO!!!

[bfspartan]

I live in his district. The guy is a rock of integrity, and crazy smart. I mean too smart for much of washington. See him go on many of the videos when it gets serious. He knows his shit. And we love him here because he represents what a true Congressman should be.

[noillegalimmigration]

I'm in his district too. The guy is solid...says it like it is. I'm an independent and not too happy with any Republican right now. But, I'd support this guy for the Senate. He's not afraid to break ranks with his party. We need more of that on both sides.

[salbal777]

McCotte is so smart funny. I am sure he could have a successful comedian carrier.

[salbal777]

I meant career of course.

[FreeAgain2]

McCotter is great - check out his speeches on the floor - funny, pointed, on the mark.

[bryandenehy76]

The GOP will never get back on it's feet if it does not go back to it's roots.

[fmagalhaes1521]

This guy wants the policies of Obama to succeed? Did I hear that right? I do not want Socialism to succeed here.

[jpbalkenende]

Geez what a bunch of morons.

[chifour66]

Funny show, as always, and The House Rep is always a cool guy. There are so many really good ones who never get tv time. They show all the old asses like McCain who nobody likes, on either side. McCotter, Jindal and Cantor are all good, smart pols. Everyone got Barackamania, for some reason, and don't really know much about politics, so they just know the 3-4 they see on crap channels like MSNBC>

[BooBTuberToo]

Ha, that guy is funny as hell.

[s4life]

hehe first repug who is kinda likable..

[WashMitt]

Red eye for the gay Republican guy.

[JayAreDubya]

He seems like an affable individual.

[Monty1994]

wow he is funny.

[scottinwny]

This guy is great

[aliabadihouman]

Freebuuuruuuuurrrrrrddddddd!!!­!!!!!

[modifiedcontent]

McCotter 2012

[manyleaves]

Ditto!

He was great!

[ntf284]

Thaddeus McCotter has got to be one of the best names ever. Ever.

[JannieAlexa]

As derekbajema mentioned earlier ...

How many people can say that their Congressman referenced A Flock of Seagulls, Canadian Power Rock Trios and playing Free Bird on the guitar behind their head ... all in one five minute news interview?

That's not to mention his brilliant stance on most political issues. I'm so glad that he's my congressman!

[daisymeme]

@JannieAlexa oh please keep in him in office!! he is a national treasure. he should run for president. he could lead us in to freedom and out of this horrendous slavery.

[Jazzmasterrr]

Very funny stuff Congressman McCotter.

[LeGioNoFZioN]

that was a great exchange, its now on my playlist

[TheCondor24]

That McCotter guy is hillarious, but that host looks like he's bounced about 300 ping-pong balls into plactic cups before the show.

[DireWeevil]

I have seen several episode of Red Eye while suffering from insomnia, and I that is probably a very safe bet.

[LurkerDood]

Thaddeus McCotter was awesome on Red Eye!

The Flock of Seagulls hair was funny!!!!!!

[airborne373]

The so called Republicans need to WAKE UP and get back to TRUE conservatism.

[derekbajema]

We need more Congressmen who can site Lou Reed, Rush, and Flock of Seagulls (I guess) in a five minute conversation.
