This is political spectacle, not politics. Democracy has always been a useful tool in the creation of false dialectics by the controlling minority. It's easier to control people who believe that they have freedom of choice. We live in a corporatocracy that is collectivistic, plutocratic, and fascistic. The system generally moves towards tyrannically enforced collectivism for the vast majority and crony capitalism for the power brokers. It's not a free market.
I think Grayson's chances in the upcoming election depends on how strong the Occupy movement is in Florida. His positions are in line with the Occupy folks, but if they don't go to the polls in strength, he will not stand a chance. I hope he wins, we need more people like him in Congress.
"I don't think the light bulb's on yet" pretty much and remember that Bachmann doesn't like energy efficient light bulbs. a nice correlation between republicans who are wasteful and not efficient with anything except refusing to work with any democrat.
Grayson is lying when he says underwater home owners can't do anything about their mortgage principles being worth more than the homes.
They can easily default and go rent or move in with their family... This isn't the UAE where you go to prison...
It's too easy to feel sympathetic about home owners, yet no one even blinks when people the same age are still saving for a down payment. They're not underwater because .. they rent or live with their family!
@TheMetalPerson Yea, they could also shoot themselves in the head or rob a bank. You are a dimwit. They were the victims of predatory lenders and the banks that destroyed the housing market.
Am I victim too for not living in a house? I'm almost 29 and I still don't have a house because I decided to wait a few years before having children. I almost have a decent down payment for my first house.
What you forget about is that during the period these "victims" were tricked, they also got the finer lifestyle of home ownership, while people in my position put off gratification choosing instead to live with family.
How did they destroy the housing market? What does that even mean? Do you mean that the period of de-leveraging put downward pressure on housing prices? Don't you care about all the people that can't afford homes? Why are lower home prices bad?
Selfish home owners only care about whether the prices of their homes go up. If home prices go down, more people will get to live in homes. What's sick is how they justify the rising price of their assets as good for the poor..
@TheMetalPerson easily default? Are you fucking insane? Do you think a default is just something to laugh at, oh wait you're probably one of those retarded republicans that rooted for Trump that have dropped in and out of bankruptcy at will.
If you default as a regular person, that's it, game is over. If banks do it, they get bailed out.
How about we make a sacrifice and stop extending unemployment benefits to be so long? Sitting at home for 2 years is not a sacrifice, it's a vacation.
As for compromise, look it up. Do you want your government to become compromised (structurally weakened). The best example of what good compromise can bring is the agreement to extend UI benefits while extending the bush tax cuts.
@C0ct0pusPrime I bet your subscription feed looks pretty damn similar to mine..first I sub u then c u on tyt's, fixed news and now here... why dont u get on one of these shows like the ed show as a guest? You are good at speaking in front of a camera, I bet u would rip it up on tv.
@Zajuts149 hehe so true, the video was freaking awesome and brilliant! I hope someday Obama(or whoever) would shut down fox"news" and ecudate dumb-american-part with videos like this..
@Jarmo187 If you want to shut down Fox people should tell their cable companies to not ut it on the lineup they give them. If you get it off your lineu or block the channel then it will die out.
This is the problem with our political process. Instead of actually addressing people's concerns, as expressed by the Occupy Wall Street movement, openly and candidly, the GOP, and to a lesser extent the Democrats, just play with words to fool a credulous public that they are fighting for them, when who they are really fighting for are corporate interests.
Lets hope you are right Mr. Grayson, that being said with all the liars who need to be out of the leadership can we count on you to at least call these creeps out?
Mr. Grayson: I will be voting for you in our district! I believe you should start releasing ads online! See what Ron Paul did? Front page of YouTube! Pulling for ya!
The republican political strategy: lying, manipulation,making stuff up and if all else fail then blame somebody else. People like Luntz are pure evil.Their entire work consists of how to manipulate their retarded republican voters which are to stupid to realize when they're being lied to and to uneducated to know what's real and what pure lying republican bullshit.
I recently had an argument with one of these retarded republicans that tried to start calling for Luntz's "free market" capitalism
Luntz is such a tool. I'm guessing he has an important daddy that helped him get his initial recognition or something. I've heard better ideas come from high school kids.
Ed Schultz is partly responsible for the tea baggers coming into power by telling people to stay home and not vote to teach Obama a lesson. Ed needs to be held accountable for his actions, not celebrated for his inactions.
We need a way to get rid of bad employees other than waiting for the next election. If they betray the oath of office and their fiduciary responsibility to the people, they shouldn't be allowed to continue to corrupt the system. Bush/Cheney were allowed to keep their jobs, and look at all the damage they did. We cannot afford to have employees bought and paid for by big money, regardless of the source.
I just heard that Congress is exempt from insider-trading laws. Corruption is rampant.
@camabron1 following the republican playbook and never say capitalism or blame capitalism. Well done. Especially in a piece about how the republican basterds try their lying bullshit yet again you blatantly start lying...LOL... yeah you people must really be so fucking retarded, and you're NOT a millionaire, you're NOT the big capitalist so why start lying and why start protecting the Wall Street bastards? You're on the wrong side of history.
@camabron1 Actually, it is a mixture of things. In our country, we have a mixture of capitalism and socialism, with a disproportionate amount of capitalism, which enables a plutocracy.
