Personally, I think Unions as well as Corporations, can only contribute $10,000 dollars to a campaign. I also think, like millions of others, their names should be exposed. This goes for all candidates. I don't care what party they belong to.
I would advise Conservatives google the Las Vegas Review-Journal paper. Dated Sunday, April 03, 2011 about how the GOP plans are not going according to plan. The newly elected GOP Governors in Michigan, Florida, Ohio, and of course, Wisconsin. All have negative approval ratings and they just started. Things that are happening politically, are what I've been saying for the past 2 years. I will gurantee you that two of these Governors will be recalled and replaced with Liberals. You'll see.
"The idea that Republicans are espousing that the social safety net can be sacrificed in the name of deficit reduction in order to pay for wars of hegemony is insane, inhumane, and evil."
--Paul Craig Roberts (former adviser to Ronnie Reagan)
pluck is still right even with the change in congress. the republicans should have taken the senate but with palins help it remained in democratic control. reid should have been toast. miller lost in alaska. the dummie in dellaware hurt her state republican party big time. the only reason pelosi is hanging around is that she knows she will again be speaker in two years.
Not so much now eh? lmao, lets see how old barak does in 2012, bet you he looses to anyone. Too bad the US voter fell for the hope and change line, the damage is done now, it will take a lot of effort now to reverse the damage done by the progressive dems.
@starcrafter13terran You are living in a dream world. In 2012 you will see, the midterms where just a sign of the future for the socialist agenda that is the democratic party.
Both parties are Imploding and unfortunately the nation heading for a bloody and ugly civil war. Anybody who thinks otherwise is delusional and whistling in the grave yard.The majority of the United States is not happy with either party and are less and less falling for the idiotic right vs left baloney.
Let's do the United States a favor and abolish all political parties. The founders of the United States knew partys were divisive, corruptable and would be a distraction
as the republicans and democrats are really just one big party. They work to do what is in the best interest of the party, not the people who elected them in the first place. They are World Wide Entertainment (wrestling) or a football game..All bullshit and lies working to steal your wealth and eliminate your rights.
The other thing Mr. Simpson said is this is not a Republican or Democrat thing. It's the people of America. So when I see the Party of No constantly saying no. That is why I switched from Independent to Democrat, and used to vote for even some Republicans. Not this time. I will vote all Democrat since the current has acted like kids. I don't care if Bugs Bunny was on a Democrat ticket.
I liked the way this man was thnking. He also said the last thing we need to worry about is Social Security. That can be fixed in 1/2 a day. I've been saying that for months now, and I'm only 38. My point is this. This former Senator, Allen Simpson (R-WY) was making more sense than the currently elected Republican. I'm a 100% Democrat now, because I've been EXTREMELY dissapointed that the GOP have been acting like kids.
I was channel surfing and came across Fox News. I heard a gentlemen named Allen Simpson (R-WY) said some nice, and my favorite, DIRECT things. I especially liked how he said, and I quote "We need to make sure we are useing the CBO figures." Exactly. The CBO told Obama months ago that he would have to borrow over $9.3 trillion dollars due to Bush's mess.
@WilliamHCarney "Bushes mess"? Didn't Obama take that office and all the blessings and curses that come with it did before him? When is he going to be expected to man up and make it HIS office and HIS problems? As long as it's someone elses problem, he has no reason to fix it. Everything that goes wrong, is Bushes fault? So, Obama isn't doing ANYTHING?
@ThePsychoReturns No but, if someone buys a house that IS covered in shit, it's perfectly acceptable to wonder why they point fingers at the phantom shitter rather than clean it up.
Dream on, loser. The New Jersey, Virginia, and Massachusetts elections WERE INDEED a referendum on Obama's policies. Look at the NATIONAL polls, fool. Republicans are crushing the Dems in the Congressional generic polls and Obama's numbers are tanking. Obamacare was the end. Deal with it.
OMG! Who ever made this video is the biggest F-Tard I have every heard! Hoffman was an accountant that had about two weeks to campain! He still almost won. I have a good feeling that he will run again this year giving him much more time to campaign and now that the GOP have learned their lesson, Owens should have a smooth sailing to victory. BTW WilliamHCarney you really think Obama will get a 2nd term? I am going to write your name down and request a post on you tube why he lost.
Write it down, and remember well, because November is a ways off, and 2012 is further. The more the people see's how full of shit the GOP really is the better we like it. Like my father always said. "You never know a dumb ass until they open their mouths." Keep talking GOP pretty please. Your doing fine.
I agree MOST of the GOP is fos, but that is why conservatives are going to remake the party. TY! BTW Obama is the best thing that has ever happened to us because if it were not for him millions of us would still be sleeping. :D
No. Just like my President proved at the GOP retreat January 29, 2010 and now today in New Hampshire schooling people on how 7 Republicans backed out of a bipartisan commission to reduce the deficit, proved to America you all are the Party of No. Obama is to well educated and, takes things with an aplomb attitude. You can see and, the American public are now seeing how the GOP is full of it. Your forgetting. There are Republicans retiring and Obama is now back up to 52% rating.
I also see now why the Supreme Court did what it di and, I'm glad as well. The reason is because, as long as Obama is reminding the people the truth about the GOP the way he's been doing on live T.V. i don't care if they pumped billions of dollars intoa campaign. Obama. See you until January 20, 2017. He is now starting to learn how to twist arms the Lyndon Baines Johnson did. How do you think the Civil Rights Act was passed. I can't wait until the November Elections of 2010.
I would not be thanking them just yet. Come to find out, after watching C-SPAN early this morning, an author who visited the Vermont Law Library found a loop hole in the Supreme Court about the Corporation having First Amendment Rights. We will see what happens but, I won't be suprised if that ruling is thrown out.
This IS poor analysis. The upstate NY election signified nothing. The GOP vote was divided and the Dem won. He will most likely be bounced right back out next year--he doesn't even have a full term to win over a Rep district. We ignored two major elections for that?
This Plouffe lucked out with an excellent candidate. He is no Carville--his analysis sucks. Can we admit after Massachusetts that there is a problem?
If anybody wants to see how great liberal viewers analytical skills are just watch this video, and then think about what just happened in Massachusetts. Seriously, a republican senator in MA!!
Actually, this was Plouffe's analysis and LiberalViewer merely said it was worth considering for the reasons stated in the video. I disagree; I think Plouffe is spinning rather than analyzing.
Another excellent video. I think we will see more of this in future elections as the far-right candidates continue to drive away moderate voters, splitting the vote and handing the democrats a victory.
Excellent analysis Liberal Viewer my view would be that if the Republicans want to commit political suicide as a party then let them.
Here in the UK the Conservatives under Margaret Thatcher moved so far to the right that the Conservatives here made themselves unelectable for twenty years.
Beck, Hannity, O Reilly and the rest could not be doing a better job for the Democrats if they were being paid to do it for them.
Maybe the US needs a new centre right party to represent more liberal Cons.
Just wanted to pitch this in. Racism is not only discriminating against Asians or African Americans or Native Americans, it's discriminating against any race. Last time I checked, Caucasian is a race.
Ha Ha Ha It's the democrats who are imploding! They have a majority in BOTH houses and they can't pass anything! They lost Virginia big time. The man-child's approval ratings are sagging lower than Nancy Pelosi's tits and unemployment is still about 2 points higher than Obama's clueless so-called experts said it would be if the stimulus bill was passed and 80% of the stimulus hasn't even been spent yet! Conservative books dominate the New York Times best seller list! RUSH LIMBAUGH RULES !!!
@MrFreeLibertarian Actually we just passed health care. And Obamas ratings are holding at 50%, which is far higher than Bush at any point during his entire 2nd term, which, if you think about it, is remarkable considering the fact the most popular ews channel on cable has been attacking him 247 since the day he took the oath.
Yeah the dems are the extreme by trying to get health care for everyone. While the gop is talking aboutdeath panels refering to the president as a nazi and disrespecting the population by treating the the first hispanic nomination to the supreme court like she had no right to be there. All this while one sex scandal after another comes straight from c street. Yeah the dems are extreme. Extremely normal.
LOL The NJ and VA racesdidnt mean a thing? Keep thinking that way. Little Barack campaigned 5 times there and the people rejected his candidate. In NY-23 the GOP candidate was not moderate, but liberal. As of today Obama job Appl is under 50%, The Dem Congress appvl is 26%, and the GOP leads in the generic ballot by 7%. Keep thinking this way. It is the Dems who are now the extremists, not the GOP.
FIX the Republican party that the Regressive NeoCons destroyed.
Bring back Individual liberty, personal responsibility, limited Federal Gov't, competition between the Free States and competition among the FREE people.
No more Nation Building, No Foreign Intervention, No 700+ US military bases occupying almost EVERY nation on the planet PRODUCING resistance fighters!
No Isolationism (trade not tamper) and keep the giant corporations OUT of the people's pockets by ending Corporatism.
I'm late in replying on this, but despite not being on the right at all, I can agree with YakYakYak completely. (And I'm not saying that sarcastically, like some dems would say "palin/beck 2012" - this is honest.)
If the GOP were to revise itself under those lines, it'd be a lot more compelling to libertarians of every stripe - including those on the right (your Ron Pauls) AND those on the left (social democrats like myself). It'd be a force to be reckoned with instead of an international joke.
I understand figurative speech. I just think Liberal use figurative speech out of contexts. As in it's it really a flat road and you could say a hill but instead they will use mountain. To me that takes away the intent you want to get across because it's so obviously way out of porportion and or contexts. That is just my opinion and it does cause me and likely other conservatives to possibly not hear you as the mind shifts to the opposite extreme of your intented meaning. you get that?
@imarealgamer people shouldn't refer to ALL conservatives as Republicans because ti just isn't true. Just as all Democrates do not vote for a democrate. suffocation? pray tell what do you mean?
Well I meant that since only republicans are in the republican party, only republicans would be leaving. Afterwards, they would be just conservatives I guess.
I mean they would soffocate as in they would dissolve as a party. It would thin out to nothing.
@imarealgamer Yes well that is why I got confused because you knwo as well as I knwo that Liberals and Conservatives be them of any party do not speak nor understand the same language. So when you say suffocate maybe you mean disapate or disolve so dissolve and suffocate do nto mean anything of the same things. These are the sorts of thinking and words that you are doing that give Liberals the apperance of being crazy and or insane like. Nothing on upstairs. No sense, common sense.
@imarealgamer COME ON! Get real... If the majority of the leaders in the REP party were in a room and you sent in ppl to strngle them they would suffocate. If you fed some gas into the venting system then yes they woudl suffocate.. It stands to reason that this would cause these REP members to dissolve from the REP party. You Catatrophize in your minds and your words. Just like Liberals do with Global warming and most all else. You do said suffocate out of context
A recent article in a British paper over here stated that FOX news that be effecting this imploding, given that while the GOP were in power they had FOX in their pocket, now FOX answers to know one and is leading a right wing charge that is almost forcing the GOP to move further right than they want to given the absolute dommiance of the FOX news channel in the USA, It suggests that to come back the GOP need to move towards the centre and ditch FOX news, until then they are basically screwed.
@36clashfan77 I find that FOX is conservative and Patriotic I can't say for certain they are all the way to the right or all of the GOP. It doesn't sound that way to me. They just talk plain sense and real that's what they do. Straight Talk
Bah - it doesn't really matter which party gets a leg up during which round of elections. The fact remains that a dual party system lends itself naturally to the politics of division which results in partisanship and competitiveness that is not good for the common welfare of the general population. That said, I believe that the Democrats are the lesser of the two evils - they might be nosy about your wallet, but that ends their interest in what may be in your pants - unlike the Republicans.
this could lead to a disheveling of the 2 party system.. if republicans fall out, and the teabaggin conservatives proudly hold their 25% of the votes, it leaves room for independants to gain seats.
or maybe thats not true.. dunno it seems like a good thing either way.
@M0US3P0T4TO But it is obama, a democrat that told states like Georgia that they will not do any verifying process when ppl vote. They, Secretary Of State of GA will allow all non citizens to vote...This makes the voting system in this country like one big giant acorn
@SpiralUp1 So what do you think about this fact? And I wonder how many other state are forced to do this and or what? not received Federal Funds? Have their electricity cut off as oppose to SKY ROCKET? what do you think IMAREALGAMER?
I highly recommend you look at Canadian federal politics from the mid 80's to the early 2000's as I think our present may be your future. Canada's right split between the Progressive Conservatives and the Reform Party, Reform then eventually became the dominant right wing although to small to win. Eventually the party's reformed as the Conservative party and have run the government for two terms far to the right of the average voter. You may get a stretch of GOP failure but long term be careful
republicons? omg you're still refering to the whole nixon, thing look republicans have regrouped for the better and a moving into a new age and are actually starting to show acceptance for issues like same sex marriage and separation of church and state. once those are resolved people will realize they have a far better economic way of thinking and support allowing local governments far greater authority than a larger federal institution.
Your usually end your videos with loaded questions but this one was too loaded. The final question only gives us two options and the latter may be completely off--we have yet to see how this purge is going to develop. Gallup today says independents are abandoning the Dems. The moderate purge in the GOP may turn them off but if they disregard it they'll elect more conservative Republicans than ever.
Social conservatism isn't something that Americans can stomach anymore. It's a dead end. Fiscal conservatism was in a healthier state until more recently (pre-bush), but even that has been twisted into an all or nothing status by republicans to oppose anything the dems do. The only thing the party can do to remain a national party is drop the social conservatism in the dust and embrace REAL fiscal conservatism instead of just, "tax cuts, tax cuts, tax cuts, de-regulation, tax cuts!"
meet the press, hmmmm, that must be msnbc. of course they wouldn't have anything good to say about the republican party. the republican in the 23rd district was a fifth columnist in the conservative party. she was a demo in a republican suit, it doesn't work.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
people like liberal viewer are a joke. who doesn't know or realize that news channels for the most part are biased in some way or another, especilly politics. he will certainly try to ostricize fox from the world, with the 75% of the media that contributes to the democrats, it is a known fact. so, why waste all of youtubes space on fox, use it for for something helpful.
I think the Reps are very potentially imploding. I was raised in a very Republican home, but many of us collectively left the party when all the Jesus-freaks got involved. In theory, I think the Republican party stands for many issues as I do. In practice, they can't help but corrupt the ideology with pointless issues like creationism, family values, gay bashing, and anti-abortion. If they stopped with the Jesus and simply pushed conservative fiscal policy, they would win more elections.
Indeed this is a bad time for the republicans while Palin, Paul & others in the GOP are being propped up as future saviors the party's factionalism has all the potential to tear them apart or at least disunify them to ineffectual cabals strewn throughout the country. My answer is unless the republicans can rejuvenate themselves and unite under a common cause and allow wiggle room and spontanety it will become irrevelant, or worse extinct.
Jenson, NY 23 is meaningless. Look at New Jersey - there's your real example. The health care bill was passed by a congress that is not listening to the American people - Americans are set against the health care bill - and so democrat support will continue to plummet. Americans prefer the GOP on health care, 46% to 40% and more importantly, dramatically shifted to the right over the last year.
Almost every single poll except GOP-leaning Rasmusseun disagrees with you. Americans WANT the public option and want change/reform of health care. WHY is NY-23 suddenly "meaningless?" It sure didn't seem meaningless to Palin and Rush and the thousands of dollars Cons poured into the district before Hoffman lost.
And Governors don't get to vote in Congress. NJ voters were sick of Corzine. It doesn't mean much. We'll see what happens in 2010 but I wouldn't get too cocky about GOP chances.
Clearly you know I'm right because you know where the data came from - and thus you know that Rasmussen is the undisputed most accurate pollster of all American pollsters.
NY 23 has always been meaningless.
If you look at NJ and Virginia you can see the trend. Deny it all you like - you and I both know which way the trend is going. Obama is a one term douchebag because Americans know what he's up to and Americans do not like his agenda.
HAHAHA!!!!! You said "Rasmusseen is the most accurate pollster." Every single person in the country knows that Scott Rasmussen is a partisan pollster. Their questions are designed to elicit responses that skew heavily to the right. The second reason is that Rasmussen doesn't even use live operators or ask for voice responses. They robo-call their phone list sample, which is weighted more heavily to Republican households than general demographics, and they tabulate based on keypad responses.
You're just a partisan hack. The polls are recorded over time, and no one is more accurate than Rasmussen. Their questions are designed to get an honest response, not a slanted one. You do not know what you're talking about. Nice try though.
@obamadidit2008 Me thinks he's about done with the one term, the voters are not all that smart, but I don't think they are dumb enough to give that phoney a second term.
I think that the "Limbaugh" faction of the republican party is hoping that future events will make constituencies move right making the purge somewhat of an investment, whether this the purge is good or bad news depends on on how this bet goes. In that case I would rather ask: what are the chances or if there are any brewing events that can cause a shift to the right in public opinion?
The American people have already shifted dramatically to the right, and prefer the GOP on ten out of ten issues we face in America, including abortion and govt ethics. Boo hoo.
I honestly think republicans are in trouble. The elites of the power turned to the religious conservatives to bolster their waning numbers. Now the nutjobs have taken over and are not interested in anything pragmatic. They will eventually be forced out by a healthy republican movement, albeit one to the left. Both parties must accurately guesstimate where the public is in order to be effective. The democrats do, the republicans dont.
The short answer to your question is that no amount of Republican infighting will keep them out of power. Independents generally vote against a party, not for one. Eventually the Dems will screw up enough to be voted out (2 years, 4, 8 whenever) whatever the GOP looks like then is what we'll end up with.
There is a GOP civil war going on and it looks a lot like the 1980 primaries to me. Libertarians and the Religious Right genuinely dislike one another and old battles are resurfacing.
you do know they are recounting this election right? if recanvassing brings frog face close enough to Owens they will do a recount. I dont think using this election as a referendum is a good idea.
Good point about the long term effects. This recession is temporary, the effects of the GOP turning away moderates & minorities are more or less permanent., it could take generations for the GOP to recover from that, if ever.
0:14 "Those elections turned more on local issues and the DOUBLE DIGIT UNEMPLOYMENT RATE than anything having to do with the Obama administration..." You're joking right?
Double digit unemployment is an artifact from the economic disaster policy initiated by the prior administration. Obama appears to have succeeded in halting the Bush slide, though the recovery is expected to take much longer. The disaster of the Bush administration was enormous, and may require decades to overcome.
Many of the issues any succeeding administration face can be traced back to a previous administration, especially the one immediately preceding it. So to make claims that issues faced by this administration are in one way or another sparked by the Bush administration is not far-fetched.
Obama can blame Bush for the problems in Iraq and Iran. I have no problem with that. However, the double digit unemployment is Obama's. Obama has done everything he can to attack the American business sector and the result is worsening unemployment. Reagan was faced with a worse economy when he took office. Reagan did things to encourage the private sector and the result was a booming economy in months. American business will create jobs if given the chance. Obama has done just the opposite.
reagan left america with a massive federal budget deficit that took over 15 years to bring to a surplus. and bush repeated the same stupid mistakes that reagan did, which produced the same stupid results
Yahazif, that's patent nonsense. The market had been in a free fall since May of 2008. Who was president in May, 2008? Who was president in August, 2008? Obama was sworn into office January of this year. Through his efforts, the market's plunge ended two months later, in March, and is now higher than when he took office. We still have huge problems (of Bush's making) to overcome, but at least our nation is once again headed at least partly in the right direction.
I sympathize with conservative needs to displace the blame for their terrible mistakes. No one wants to claim responsibility for the Bush disaster, and with good reason. It is the biggest global economic collapse since the Great Depression, so of course Bush cannot possibly have been responsible for any of it. Nor was he responsible for ignoring intelligence on the imminent 9/11 attack, or for faking up justifications for our most expensive unprovoked war.
Hoffman conceded in our 23rd CD, so no way he will eventually win the seat. He promises to consider running again in 2010, although it cost him $95,000 to lose this race.
Losers like Palin, Malkin, Thompson, Beck, etc. will surely step up to the plate again to offer 'star power' in an effort to privatize government. LOL
A "Moderate Republican" would share most Conservative Values with a FEW views that differ. Scozzafava supported the Stimulus, Government Takeover of Health-care and was ACORN endorsed.
Since obviously did no research for this video, could you take the time to find me a Republican view that she does hold?
"Returned the Favor and endorsed the Democrat". She endorsed the Democrat because she agreed with her Values (See her Rachel Maddow Interview).
NEWS FLASH...Owens was prematurely sworn in by Pelosi....Although Owens was presumed to be the winner with a 3000 vote lead....there are still 10,000 absentee votes uncounted. Let's see how the military voted. We will know in about a week or two. Yes Hoffman still has a chance for NY 23rd CD.
In the state of Florida, there are 34 registered political parties. How many in your state? Who gets to decide which parties are on the ballot? Do you understand the platform of your party of choice? Time to do your homework.
and you say that the Rep party is falling apart after watching many republicans moderate and conservative say before and after the election that they were going to target wolves in sheep clothing those who dont stand on basic party principles. hmmm I am an Independent I live oversees for now but I will make sure when I get home I will cast my vote for the candidate who stands on thier party principles ( Blue Dog or Elephant)
I just watched an interview on MSNBC and watched a Democrat rail against Blue Dog Democrats and said His party needs to kick them out because they vote both ways Dem/ Rep
Your vote was for sale in NY 23 Congressional decision. Conservative Party candidates, backed by Club for Growth, are required to sign an oath not to request earmarks. So, you pay taxes. Do you expect district elected representatives to stand up in support of your local economy, or do you give it away to special interest groups? Thankfully, enough progressives stood up to answer.
Let me get this straight, a new party arises, that happens to be conservative, that severely kicks the entrenched GOP's ass, and damn near the democrats, and you decide to lump it in with the GOP, whose ass it just kicked? What fucking planet are you from?? HTWW is right, you spin shit real good, dishonest as hell.
The 5.1% of the vote that the GOP did receive, can be easily attributed to voting party lines and incumbent name recognition by apathetic voters, not, as you say, a turn to liberalism
Actually, we are seeing the old Conservative Republican Guard benefiting from modern electioneering. Red Sea LLC contributed thousands of dollars to the Club for Growth. In exchange, Club for growth funneled millions of dollars to Red Sea LLC in advertising spending. Anyone remember Thom Delay?
We're seeing the demise of the Republican Party. As Barack Obama continues to act gentlemanly toward them in a bipartisan way, it's giving them all a rash. If someone makes the mistake of agreeing with him, they are quickly targeted for purification. The result, a new district and former Republican voters. Conservative, but ours. We really do have a big tent.
They should rename themselves "The Real Amurikens" party. And thar mottoe shull B "edukshun & cumpromize iz fo sissies.... Holy Jebus"
we can only hope that the republicans will implode and then MAYBE we can get a 3rd party that is working for the poeple -- the left/right BS is driving this country into the ground
One of these days your socialist agenda will take someothing away from you that is near and dear unless of course you are such a psychopath that you dont give a damn about anything and will gladly give it up to the govt for the good of the state comrade
What a moron you are, I really wish you'd go on KKK website were you belong instead of bringing your ignorant hatred here. I make a lot of efforts not to have to deal with Nazis like yourself.
I think that after all the harm the liberal democrats are doing now under Obama, and all the harm the liberal republicans have just caused under Bush, the true conservatives will gain a lot of leverage in the republican party.
True conservatism is the only way to prosperity, not war, welfare, borrowing, and corruption. History is a lesson of this.
"True conservatism is the only way to prosperity, not war, welfare, borrowing, and corruption. History is a lesson of this? "
Which history are you referring to? It's not any history that I've read! All the "prosperous" nations of the world have gained almost everything they have through war, borrowing, and corruption. (To be fair, not through "welfare." They usually let the poor die in the gutters.)
I think you are mistaken. The war, borrowing, and corruption usually occur after the conservative principles have been cast aside in an attempt to steal back the lost prosperity
Conservationist believe, ideas different from theirs are causing America to deteriorate, even though history shows us that the most Liberal period of our history was filled with growth and advancement and prosperity.
The beguinning of the liberal period in our history marks the inevitability of the economic situation we find ourselves in now.
Conservatives don't "believe" anything. They understand economic principles. There is a reason the U.S. went from the most prosperous nation ever, to the most financially bankrupt nation of all time. It's because we let the liberals grow the government until it smothered the real economy.
Sure, I will elaborate. Prosperity comes from wealth generation. As most educated people know, the goverment cannot create wealth. It can only redistribute it inefficiently leading to wealth destruction.
Example: a company makes cars, but the government puts huge taxes on the profits. As a result less cars will be made, at a more expensive price. Then, the governemtn takes those taxes and hands it to non productive citizens/agencies thus destroying that wealth creating potential.
As the governemnt grows in an attempt to solve the problems caused by it's own wealth destruction, it feeds on more and more wealth until the economy is in ruins.
It must then turn to shady methods such as war, conspiracy, and corruption in order to maintain the same lifestyle it has become accustomed to.
in summary, capitalism creates a mountain of wealth though competition. Slowly, the government starts skimming the excess wealth until there is nothing left and it turns to crime.
uhhhhh......need I point rush limbaugh with the song Barack the magic negro? and also him calling NFL players thugs? Glenn Beck calling Obama a racist? what about all that crap about judge Sotomayor?

I would advise Conservatives google the Las Vegas Review-Journal paper. Dated Sunday, April 03, 2011 about how the GOP plans are not going according to plan. The newly elected GOP Governors in Michigan, Florida, Ohio, and of course, Wisconsin. All have negative approval ratings and they just started. Things that are happening politically, are what I've been saying for the past 2 years. I will gurantee you that two of these Governors will be recalled and replaced with Liberals. You'll see.

Let's do the United States a favor and abolish all political parties. The founders of the United States knew partys were divisive, corruptable and would be a distraction
as the republicans and democrats are really just one big party. They work to do what is in the best interest of the party, not the people who elected them in the first place.

The other thing Mr. Simpson said is this is not a Republican or Democrat thing. It's the people of America. So when I see the Party of No constantly saying no. That is why I switched from Independent to Democrat, and used to vote for even some Republicans. Not this time. I will vote all Democrat since the current has acted like kids. I don't care if Bugs Bunny was on a Democrat ticket.

I liked the way this man was thnking. He also said the last thing we need to worry about is Social Security. That can be fixed in 1/2 a day. I've been saying that for months now, and I'm only 38. My point is this. This former Senator, Allen Simpson (R-WY) was making more sense than the currently elected Republican. I'm a 100% Democrat now, because I've been EXTREMELY dissapointed that the GOP have been acting like kids.

I was channel surfing and came across Fox News. I heard a gentlemen named Allen Simpson (R-WY) said some nice, and my favorite, DIRECT things. I especially liked how he said, and I quote "We need to make sure we are useing the CBO figures." Exactly. The CBO told Obama months ago that he would have to borrow over $9.3 trillion dollars due to Bush's mess.

@WilliamHCarney "Bushes mess"? Didn't Obama take that office and all the blessings and curses that come with it did before him? When is he going to be expected to man up and make it HIS office and HIS problems? As long as it's someone elses problem, he has no reason to fix it. Everything that goes wrong, is Bushes fault? So, Obama isn't doing ANYTHING?

Social conservatism isn't something that Americans can stomach anymore. It's a dead end. Fiscal conservatism was in a healthier state until more recently (pre-bush), but even that has been twisted into an all or nothing status by republicans to oppose anything the dems do. The only thing the party can do to remain a national party is drop the social conservatism in the dust and embrace REAL fiscal conservatism instead of just, "tax cuts, tax cuts, tax cuts, de-regulation, tax cuts!"

I think the Reps are very potentially imploding. I was raised in a very Republican home, but many of us collectively left the party when all the Jesus-freaks got involved. In theory, I think the Republican party stands for many issues as I do. In practice, they can't help but corrupt the ideology with pointless issues like creationism, family values, gay bashing, and anti-abortion. If they stopped with the Jesus and simply pushed conservative fiscal policy, they would win more elections.

Jenson, NY 23 is meaningless. Look at New Jersey - there's your real example. The health care bill was passed by a congress that is not listening to the American people - Americans are set against the health care bill - and so democrat support will continue to plummet. Americans prefer the GOP on health care, 46% to 40% and more importantly, dramatically shifted to the right over the last year.
thejimmyzshow 2 years ago
Almost every single poll except GOP-leaning Rasmusseun disagrees with you. Americans WANT the public option and want change/reform of health care. WHY is NY-23 suddenly "meaningless?" It sure didn't seem meaningless to Palin and Rush and the thousands of dollars Cons poured into the district before Hoffman lost.
And Governors don't get to vote in Congress. NJ voters were sick of Corzine. It doesn't mean much. We'll see what happens in 2010 but I wouldn't get too cocky about GOP chances.

Clearly you know I'm right because you know where the data came from - and thus you know that Rasmussen is the undisputed most accurate pollster of all American pollsters.
NY 23 has always been meaningless.

HAHAHA!!!!! You said "Rasmusseen is the most accurate pollster." Every single person in the country knows that Scott Rasmussen is a partisan pollster. Their questions are designed to elicit responses that skew heavily to the right. The second reason is that Rasmussen doesn't even use live operators or ask for voice responses. They robo-call their phone list sample, which is weighted more heavily to Republican households than general demographics, and they tabulate based on keypad responses.

Double digit unemployment is an artifact from the economic disaster policy initiated by the prior administration.

Many of the issues any succeeding administration face can be traced back to a previous administration, especially the one immediately preceding it. So to make claims that issues faced by this administration are in one way or another sparked by the Bush administration is not far-fetched.
magicalshrimp23 2 years ago
Obama can blame Bush for the problems in Iraq and Iran. I have no problem with that. However, the double digit unemployment is Obama's. Obama has done everything he can to attack the American business sector and the result is worsening unemployment. Reagan was faced with a worse economy when he took office. Reagan did things to encourage the private sector and the result was a booming economy in months. American business will create jobs if given the chance. Obama has done just the opposite.

I sympathize with conservative needs to displace the blame for their terrible mistakes. No one wants to claim responsibility for the Bush disaster, and with good reason.

Nor was he responsible for ignoring intelligence on the imminent 9/11 attack, or for faking up justifications for our most expensive unprovoked war.

Hoffman conceded in our 23rd CD, so no way he will eventually win the seat. He promises to consider running again in 2010, although it cost him $95,000 to lose this race.

Your vote was for sale in NY 23 Congressional decision. Conservative Party candidates, backed by Club for Growth, are required to sign an oath not to request earmarks. So, you pay taxes. Do you expect district elected representatives to stand up in support of your local economy, or do you give it away to special interest groups? Thankfully, enough progressives stood up to answer.

Let me get this straight, a new party arises, that happens to be conservative, that severely kicks the entrenched GOP's ass, and damn near the democrats, and you decide to lump it in with the GOP, whose ass it just kicked? What fucking planet are you from?? HTWW is right, you spin shit real good, dishonest as hell.
The 5.1% of the vote that the GOP did receive, can be easily attributed to voting party lines and incumbent name recognition by apathetic voters, not, as you say, a turn to liberalism

Actually, we are seeing the old Conservative Republican Guard benefiting from modern electioneering. Red Sea LLC contributed thousands of dollars to the Club for Growth. In exchange, Club for growth funneled millions of dollars to Red Sea LLC in advertising spending. Anyone remember Thom Delay?

We're seeing the demise of the Republican Party. As Barack Obama continues to act gentlemanly toward them in a bipartisan way, it's giving them all a rash. If someone makes the mistake of agreeing with him, they are quickly targeted for purification. The result, a new district and former Republican voters. Conservative, but ours. We really do have a big tent.
They should rename themselves "The Real Amurikens" party. And thar mottoe shull B "edukshun & cumpromize iz fo sissies.... Holy Jebus"

If you can't win the argument, baffle them with BS.
Organized, failing political organizations are not winning national recognition, but growing in number. Are they merely a distraction?
Is the growing list of privately funded special interest and influence groups spoiling your vote? Your thoughts?

we can only hope that the republicans will implode and then MAYBE we can get a 3rd party that is working for the poeple -- the left/right BS is driving this country into the ground

I think that after all the harm the liberal democrats are doing now under Obama, and all the harm the liberal republicans have just caused under Bush, the true conservatives will gain a lot of leverage in the republican party.
True conservatism is the only way to prosperity, not war, welfare, borrowing, and corruption. History is a lesson of this.

"True conservatism is the only way to prosperity, not war, welfare, borrowing, and corruption. History is a lesson of this? "
Which history are you referring to? It's not any history that I've read! All the "prosperous" nations of the world have gained almost everything they have through war, borrowing, and corruption. (To be fair, not through "welfare." They usually let the poor die in the gutters.)
CleoTheSim 2 years ago
I think you are mistaken. The war, borrowing, and corruption usually occur after the conservative principles have been cast aside in an attempt to steal back the lost prosperity

Conservationist believe, ideas different from theirs are causing America to deteriorate, even though history shows us that the most Liberal period of our history was filled with growth and advancement and prosperity.
theliberalparis 2 years ago
The beguinning of the liberal period in our history marks the inevitability of the economic situation we find ourselves in now.
Conservatives don't "believe" anything. They understand economic principles. There is a reason the U.S. went from the most prosperous nation ever, to the most financially bankrupt nation of all time. It's because we let the liberals grow the government until it smothered the real economy.
Dziaji 2 years ago
i think you are on to something here. will you elaborate?
rigatony019 2 years ago
Sure, I will elaborate. Prosperity comes from wealth generation. As most educated people know, the goverment cannot create wealth. It can only redistribute it inefficiently leading to wealth destruction.
Example: a company makes cars, but the government puts huge taxes on the profits. As a result less cars will be made, at a more expensive price. Then, the governemtn takes those taxes and hands it to non productive citizens/agencies thus destroying that wealth creating potential.
Dziaji 2 years ago
As the governemnt grows in an attempt to solve the problems caused by it's own wealth destruction, it feeds on more and more wealth until the economy is in ruins.
It must then turn to shady methods such as war, conspiracy, and corruption in order to maintain the same lifestyle it has become accustomed to.
in summary, capitalism creates a mountain of wealth though competition. Slowly, the government starts skimming the excess wealth until there is nothing left and it turns to crime.

The United States has never had 100 percent capitalism. That would be a horrible idea that would probably implode.
MrSuperpunch019 2 years ago
You are right. The U.S. has never had 100% capitalism. But up until recently, it has been closer than any other country in history to being 100%.
And if by "be a horrible idea and probably implode" you meant, "promote freedom and raise the standard of living", then i agree with that part too.
