Congress is a group of superheroes who have run long and hard to win the privilege of being servants to us all.
How do we treat our public servants?
With the kindness and respect they deserve, or with cruelty and disrespect, hurling insults at them, getting into their private lives where we don't belong?
John Edwards' love life is nobody's business but his own.
Please treat John with respect. People treat others with the same respect they feel for themselves. Respect yourself.
These two guys are as phony as can be. This is like a very poor comedy routine with Mathews as the straight man and Maher as the slick, hip funny man. What do you bet the whole thing was scripted, even down to Chris Mathews' phony laugh. How can you lefties fall for this crap?
Newt Gingrich didn't spend a million dollars of campaign contributions trying to cover up his infidelity, even stooping to bribing one of his henchman to take the blame. He didn't lie to the world repeatedly until he couldn't hide it any longer. Newt is a man, John Edwards is slime. That's the difference Mr. Maher.

Sawviking---below,,, Ron Paul is NOT anti gay.... He says constantly that no one has the right to tell anyone who they can/cant love. He is open to gay marriage...
Sorry to tell you this, but Ron Paul is so overrated by so many in the online community. He is seen as this great libertarian with solutions to every problem; but how can you call him libertarian as he is against abortions, is anti-gay, doesnt offer no alternatives to provide any saftey net to the least fortunate and is a nut about the gold standard. Yes i get it that he has humble foreign policy, and understands the real problems about the war on drugs, but thats about it.
He is not anti gay. I don't think he has a solution to every problem and I don't agree with him on everything. He knows that inflation hurts the poorest people the most that is why he wants to go back to a gold standard.
@mapleleafs182 i want Ron Paul to win the nomination, but i dont think at this point, he `ll not get, because the country is too stupid to vote for the smartest guy in the room. Michele Bachmann has now joined the race. If Palin also does, then the only thing i can is "We`re fucked!".
I could be wrong but wasn't the scopes monkey trial just over whether or not evolution should be taught in schools not which was correct evolution or creation.
Schwarzenegger wanted to become the greatest bodybuilder ever & he achieved. He wanted to be the highest paid actor & he achieved that. He wanted to be president of the U.S, & adored Kennedy. He joined the Kennedy family. He is vain & nearly psychopathic in his need to be loved & liked. The problem is he acted like a founding father & politician in only one way. He fucked the help and fathered illegitimate children like Jefferson and Strom Thurmond. His amazing ambition destroys him in the end.
Kerry ran because the election was fixed for Bush in Ohio. The 2000 election was fixed in Florida. Obama was installed by the decsion to pick Palin, done on purpose, Obama is a fake democrate made to make people think they are gonna get what they want, like end to war, healthcare, infrastrurture, card check, ect, none of this was delievered, it was fixed that way from the beginning, wake up, your democracy is fake.
@atchisrj1 ron paul deffinetly has some good ideas and morals HOWEVER the other policies he promotes are WAY crazy. He is faaaar too religious and the U.S would be way better off without such religious views. So, economically speaking, ron paul is deffinetly sound BUT obama is definitely more centered. Everything he has done has been to the best of his ability within the means of not being completely trashed by the republicans. Theres a lot to say about both but no space to write
@kodat I'm an Atheist and I don't care about how religious. He is very religious but at least he isn't Bush religious. lol Obama's economic policies are very anti free market. He could do a lot better by doing nothing. I like Dr. Paul's foreign policy and his domestic. The constitution is his guide for government and I like that.

USA is like a prison - you have to kill someone to gain some respect. Obama had to say he killed a guy and brag about it to have some spike in opinion polls.
Let's be liberal. ......Let's let a few "so called" ....."elite people"... run our lives.....they are smarter than us. They know better than us, they are better than us, We are just fools. Despite our education and degrees from schools "other than Harvard, Yale...."....
Trust them. they have your best interest in mind. They will take care of you.....Who want's to be "taken care of" ?......From the very moment you learned how to walk as an infant.....didn't you walk away?
How does a group of people that want to lower taxes (letting you keep you the money you earned and to spend it as you please)....a controlling group? Versus liberals and socialists who want to take the money you make and spend it on what THEY think important?
Who can spend you hard earned money better, you or some government official?
@Flyyyy The religious right wants to set moral standards for everyone. Big corporations and big oil want lower taxes for themselves and for you to work for less, giving them more money. Unless you make more than $250,000 per year, you get to pay the bill and with them wanting you to work for less, not many will hit that mark.
We have a free country. None of the you have to come fruition. Should you not make a goal for yourself to be one of the $250,000 yr income earners, develop the skills you have to do so, instead of bitching about the people who have figured that out, and made something of their hard work?
Or is your goal to be average and to bitch the rest of life. If you want money to "shared" equally amongst all people except the "ruling class".....move to Russia.
@Flyyyy Sorry, I made mine long ago--back when taxes were higher. Didn't outsource jobs, didn't import goods made by kids in Indonesia, none of that. You have been brainwashed by the rich trust funders into believing that you will get what you want through your hard work, when all you will do is make them richer. I don't have to move, what you state about the ruling class is happening now, thanks to so called "free market capitalists" They duped you.
@exsinor funny thing about poeple who blame "free market capitalists" is that they blame all kinds of shit on the free market and never mention that the government share of the economy has been growing while all this has been going on. Bush increased the share of gov't faster than anybody until Obama and it's all been deficit financed. You'd be a lot better off if you'd stuck with free markets.
@exsinor oh yeah, and talk about being duped. Look at your social security. Scheduled to go bankrupt and the gov't is still forcing people who'll never get a dime to pay into it so they can cover their own deficits. They don't even have to lie to people to get them to go along, they'll just tell them it was free markets when it all blows up. You were duped.
@Flyyyy It's not as simple as "devolop(ing) the skills". To do that, you have to be able to afford the training classes or(in some cases)the university education and the rich are pricing both of those things out of the reach of most people. Your class is pulling up the drawbridges after you. When you've completed your project of turning this country into Ayn Rand's wet dream...most of us will be partying "like it's 1899"-or maybe 1799.
Unfortunately....that mentality.....is what will keep you as a "complaIner' and not a achiever...you, i'm sure re a great person...but you have been conditioned to think that YOU can't change your life....
You are free in this country to be great.....choose to be great...focus on that that...and not the hurdles you face....jump over them.
Kenn...based on your comment....you can be assured of being really average and needy, dependent on someone else....for your life. Now understand, that is not a personal attack against you. I'm sure you are a nice a guy.
But here is what you have to understand, and something you have never been taught....It's up to YOU to make your life! Most of "the RICH people you rail against" were in the same position as you ..20, 80,100 years ago.
Yes, Kenn...it as simple as developing your skills. And I can hundreds of "Greedy Business Owners" who never graduated from college.....(Bill Gates/ Microsoft).....and thousands of small business owners who make this country work......
They didn't bitch.....they didn't focus on what they couldn't do.....they focused on WHAT THEY COULD DO ...that's why they are successful......
They didn't wait around for politician to take care of them.
@Flyyyy "Only in the USA can that happen comrade!"
Oh sure,....as if someone can't be a success in Germany, France, England, Switzerland, Belgium, Japan, etc.
You guys act like the Rich are America's Royal Class and you worship them and want to become one of them. It's like the guy who hates his boss and looks forward to the day when he can be a boss and "get even" by being an even worse jerk.
@Flyyyy Do you really believe that? People get rich and start businesses in many countries. What does the US have that France, UK, Canada, Germany, Australia, Sweden, Japan, etc etc doesnt have? I'd really like to know what is diifferent about the US.
The difference is ...."is that it easier in this country to do so".Or at least it was. I don't see people knocking down the doors to get to Canada or Australia, do you?
@Flyyyy lots of people who are discriminated in the immigration process to come here do go to canada and australia..eagerly even. especially once they see how vile existence in the US actually is
Lol....you're an idiot. Leave for Canada then. Or go some to some other country you view as utopic.....and quit trying to change the greatest and wealthiest nation in the world. There are plenty of second class, socialistic countries for you to choose from. But the country that everyone looks to when they need help is the USA.
@Flyyyy hmm name calling. must be one of those nasty conservatives. i dont view any country as utopic. and after the medicare and social security systen is destroyed by conservatives so that they can give more money to their bosses the United states will be worse than any country you could mention in the 3rd world class, we are nowhere close to approaching socialism. if we were indeed a nation of christians helping each other would be the priority for our future
As a Christian, I am always willing to help the "HELPLESS"....(those who cannot take care of themselves)...But as a Christian, I would be remiss, in "helping" the "HOPELESS"....(those that are are smart, abled bodied.....and are just plain, lazy, pains in the azz....or socialists.....trying to take away MY FREEDOM......so I can't help...... the truly "poor" ...and the "Truly Needed".
@Flyyyy the problem with that is that you think that you are qualified to make the disticntion of who needs halp based on subjective, biased and judgemental(unchristian) reasoning. what a dr or psychiatrist evaluates as disabled or helpless you will look at and say they are not simply because they do not live their life as you feel they should. you dont know what being christian means. you are what i refer to a a christian of convenience. you are a christian only when it suits your needs
Please pack your bags and move to the country that is better than us in the 1 out of one hundred categories of which you speak. I'm old....I've traveled the world. Both when I was young in college, and when I became "rich"......because I WORKED MY ASS OFF. And trust me......nobody wants to live in Europe, or anywhere else in this world.....other than maybe a beach resort..or Monico.....the USA is the place to be unless you are an oil shiek, or British heir.
@Flyyyy You guys always fall back on that "America, Love It Or Leave It" crap, as if we shouldn't see anything wrong with it. We're supposed to just LOVE the idea that we rank 33rd on infant mortality and American babies are three times more likely to die in their first month than babies born in Japan. Also, this may shock you but not everyone in the world wants to move here. They see is as stupid and arrogant and lately racist, thanks to Republicans.
@Flyyyy But wait....You said it was the only place it can happen. Again, your right wing US ignorance is showing. One of the hottest political issues in Australia right now is illegal refugees that are coming to Australia in leaky boats, many of them die at sea. European countries have huge immigration numbers. Most European countries dont have a Mexico right on their border either where most US immigrants are coming from.
@Flyyyy Oh sure, all you need to do in order to make $200,000 dollars a year is to "develop your skills".
Uh huh.
Yer gonna be one of those guys who hits 55 and have it dawn on yer sad self that yer never going to be "rich" and blow yer brains out,....possibly going on a rampage first....
No. I won't hurt myself. I like myself too much. And I feel lucky to have been in the greatest country in the world. In 200+ short years we have become the wealthiest country the world has ever seen. I'm thankful every day, that I have the opportunity to make my life how I want.
@Flyyyy See? That's the kind of arrogance I'm referring to. I can tell you are a Right Winger because you never will admit you are wrong. Case in point, Bush. All of you guys were on his side until he was out of office and suddenly NONE of you will admit to voting for him. You guys also claim you didn't support the invasion of Iraq and now laughably claim Bush was a Liberal.
Can you please name me a successful country or a world power of over 100 million people who have had success with the socialistic/communistic model? Nazi Germany (broke)? The Soviet Union (dissolved)? More currently Greece (broke)? All the Middle eastern countries (persecution of their tribes)? Great Britain....they are nearly broke.
Name a country that isn't the size of Luxemberg, or Sweden.....those countries aren't as big as some of our smaller states.....that has succeeded.
Conservatism, at that time meant different things. Nazi Germany, took away religion, and freedom of speech. Not unlike the attack here in the USA on Catholics (who are made to look silly by every media outlet out there...Saturday Night Live..HBO...etc..)
And freedom of speech is attacked by the left, whenever anyone challenges Obama.....the media will not address the discussion or diversity of opinion.....instead they will infer that if you disagree, you are racist.
@Flyyyy Here we go again. Hitler was a Catholic and used religious imagery all the time for propaganda purposes. He was against the Liberals of his country as well as unions and the communists. He appointed CEO's to government offices. He believe the police should have limitless powers to enforce the laws and he believed in invading countries to steal their natural resources. If Right Wingers in this country had their way they would round up everyone whose not White.
@Flyyyy BTW: Are you nuts? Anyone who steps before a microphone who has something negative to say about Obama is given media coverage. Last Sunday all the talk shows were filled with Republicans. That "liberal media" you rail about doesn't exist.
@Inationification He also supports a progressive tax system, socialist programs like Medicare, Medicaid, SS, subsidized student loans, a Wilsonian foreign policy, Obama's wars, Obama's view on gay marriage, Obama's view on the drug war, Obama's view on the Federal Reserve, regulations on business I could go on and on but you should get the point.....
@bigcomcast im a democrat and im going to vote for obama in the presidental election in 2012. however, if a republican has to win, i rather it be ron paul than someone like newt gingrich or sarah palin.
I know you like him and all, and I am NOT here to bring up the politics in it, so don't do it. I am just saying, think about it. In this 2 party system and the primary process, he never gets traction. And it's not the medias fault, it's that he cannot get enough financial backing. He just is not a viable candidate.
And to show I am not being political, Dennis Kucinich is in the same crop.
@Kohox - Why do you need the approval of this elitist left wing tosser on Ron Paul. My guess is that he doesn't like Paul like the rest controlled mainstream media.
@Garlannd Let's see, Newt was having an affair with a staffer-his wife weas undergoing cancer treatment-he divorces her to marry the staffer-he divorces his wife, still undergoing cancer treatment-has a 250-500K balance on a revolving charge account for 2 years----and he is less a shitbag than Edwards? ROFL
Agreed.....he has Bill Clinton qualities. He should move to the Dems....they exult wife cheaters....The Repubs...not so much......you can have him. He'll fit right in.
And take "Arnold" with you. While a republican in name only (RHINO).....he married a liberal Kennedy for goodness sakes.......he did a good a liberal thing and destroyed capitalism in California.
Now that his work is done, he cheated on his "lib" wife.....made a kid off the record....."just like the "brothas" do......and will look to live off that Kennedy relationship.
@Flyyyy Oh, come off it. "Ahnold" was Republican through and through. As in, self important, corrupt and stupid. He introduced a wish list of Right Wing legislation that he was told had to go through the voters for approval and every one of them was defeated. The ONLY reason he won was because the vote was split on the other side and his first item on the agenda was to kill any efforts to recover money stolen by ENRON and then get a loan twice the size of the one he railed about in the campaign.
@exsinor Let's not forget ho ho that this affair (or at least on of the many) was taking place while he was Speaker of the House during the witch hunt against Clinton! Ha ha! That's why he wasn't seen very much during that period (they had to keep the blatant hypocrisy hidden from idiot America)!
Because the GOP thinks GOP stands for "God's Only Party" and you are forgiven for being a Republican, at least if it's a woman that you screw around with.

How does a group of people that want to lower taxes (letting you keep you the money you earned and to spend it as you please)....a controlling group? Versus liberals and socialists who want to take the money you make and spend it on what THEY think important?
Who can spend you hard earned money better, you or some government official?
Flyyyy 9 months ago
@Flyyyy The religious right wants to set moral standards for everyone. Big corporations and big oil want lower taxes for themselves and for you to work for less, giving them more money. Unless you make more than $250,000 per year, you get to pay the bill and with them wanting you to work for less, not many will hit that mark.
Man, you sound like a Hannity clone.

We have a free country. None of the you have to come fruition. Should you not make a goal for yourself to be one of the $250,000 yr income earners, develop the skills you have to do so, instead of bitching about the people who have figured that out, and made something of their hard work?
Or is your goal to be average and to bitch the rest of life. If you want money to "shared" equally amongst all people except the "ruling class".....move to Russia.

@Flyyyy Sorry, I made mine long ago--back when taxes were higher. Didn't outsource jobs, didn't import goods made by kids in Indonesia, none of that. You have been brainwashed by the rich trust funders into believing that you will get what you want through your hard work, when all you will do is make them richer. I don't have to move, what you state about the ruling class is happening now, thanks to so called "free market capitalists" They duped you.
exsinor 9 months ago 13
@exsinor funny thing about poeple who blame "free market capitalists" is that they blame all kinds of shit on the free market and never mention that the government share of the economy has been growing while all this has been going on. Bush increased the share of gov't faster than anybody until Obama and it's all been deficit financed. You'd be a lot better off if you'd stuck with free markets.

@exsinor oh yeah, and talk about being duped. Look at your social security. Scheduled to go bankrupt and the gov't is still forcing people who'll never get a dime to pay into it so they can cover their own deficits. They don't even have to lie to people to get them to go along, they'll just tell them it was free markets when it all blows up. You were duped.
andrelebaron 8 months ago
@Flyyyy It's not as simple as "devolop(ing) the skills". To do that, you have to be able to afford the training classes or(in some cases)the university education and the rich are pricing both of those things out of the reach of most people. Your class is pulling up the drawbridges after you. When you've completed your project of turning this country into Ayn Rand's wet dream...most of us will be partying "like it's 1899"-or maybe 1799.

And freedom of speech is attacked by the left, whenever anyone challenges Obama.....the media will not address the discussion or diversity of opinion.....instead they will infer that if you disagree, you are racist.

@Flyyyy Here we go again. Hitler was a Catholic and used religious imagery all the time for propaganda purposes. He was against the Liberals of his country as well as unions and the communists. He appointed CEO's to government offices. He believe the police should have limitless powers to enforce the laws and he believed in invading countries to steal their natural resources. If Right Wingers in this country had their way they would round up everyone whose not White.
