  • If Perry is elected it will be basically the same as if Romney or any of the other establishment puppets. Same as Obama, Same as Bush. The only real choice in the election is Ron Paul. That's why the media act like he doesn't exist. Register as a Republican now and vote for Ron Paul in the primaries.

  • lemme guess...credit suisse?

  • Banks are still selling those shady derivatives and banking big bucks on a product that has no collateral. The ultra elite are buying them and waiting for a rainy day to cash them in just like they did in 2008 when they knew a republican would not be back in office after the total carnage that Bush/Cheney perpetrated on the American people. Republicans always pick winners and losers. And we all know that means everyday Americans will lose bigtime.

  • And we all thought this 2.1 GPA aggie from Texas was stupid. Better watch him ........he moved out of the circle three times.

  • RON PAUL is the People's Choice in 2012! Join the rEVOLution!

  • Looks like we'll all profit when Phil Graham dies.

  • @weejockpoopongmcplop Phil Gramm (R) also got the derivatives bill scam to pass the republican house and senate. Clinton signed it the last week of his presidency. If Gore would have won in 2000 it would not have mattered if it went into law or not but when W. got in office he signed another bill to disallow any prosecution for the bankers to sell derivatives. Same law that was legal before the Great Depression. Otherwise it was against the law to sell insurance without a license.

  • @teabaggersblow Good knowledge!

  • There is a name for these kinds of people, I believe...

    If I'm not mistaken its 'graverobbers'.

  • Perry 2012 and 2016. He wants to END THE FED unlike you Corpate-loving Socialist Liberals. If you vote for Obozo again you are a FAGGOT.

    Go watch some Fox News if you all wish to become informed.

  • @FoxNewsFanatic4Life Is... is this a joke?

  • @MBP6705 It would be nice if he or she was.

  • @FoxNewsFanatic4Life You know you're a complete tit right? Get your head out of your ass mate.

    (no, I'm not voting for that corporate prostitute uncle tom again, because he agrees with fox news all the time).

  • @FoxNewsFanatic4Life Dude if you are lucky Fox will name a box of rocks after you.

  • @FoxNewsFanatic4Life Take a good long look at Texas if you want to really become informed on what kind of leader Rick Perry is! 5th highest rate of poverty, highest number of uninsured, and highest rate of high school drop out. Perry gutted the funding for Volunteer Fire Departments in the middle of a severe drought. Texas depends on VFD because we have very few real fire departments, cheaper that way!

  • peery is an IDIOT.

  • And they say Ron Paul supporters are crazy lmfao !!! NUT JOBS

  • this dude needs his ass beat for lying to the public and slandering other people in hopes of gaining prestige and profit for himself.

  • and what you have done here is just take some exerpts from an article written by ??.un-named as a matetr of fact published in the "International Business News", a self toughting "leader in the world of news and business", which is headed by Jonathan Davis, a history major

  • which is headed by Jonathan Davis, a history major who somehow has written so many left wing liberal elitist articles he finds himself some high paying jobs, this guys hero. Not even trained in finance nor business nor even journalism who could possible take the guy seriously as "the elading business journal in the world? Holy dumbass batman

  •  In the article it not once quotes single item said by Gov. Perry, it just suggests "inside sources state Perry was all for this idea" which was just another business plan brought to the Business office via introductions by Phil Grahm, a longtime senator form Texas. The plan was that just a business opportunity offered, and no further discussion appears to have ever been made, written about or published. It was of course never considered viable, but thsi is not reported here,

  • , in which the owner of the policy may sell the full benefit for a premium, usually about 30% of face value, for cash and the purchaser makes the rest of the payments and collects at lifes end. This is done daily around thw world, and was amde famous by many high level ceo's etc who were given high dollar insurance policies as a benefit and then upon leaving the company, sold those for profit.

  • So this whole article is again just another sad joke of "reporting" when all it really is is just another would be liberal elitist trying to make a living without actually working for money, just bullshitting his way thru life. Balh, hes an idiot. Totally amde up this si why the guy didnt last a month in the real world of even the worst left wing liberal press, he just didn;t have honesty of any sort in him, and was promptly fired.

  • once again the young turds come out with a totally dishonest report about a real individual who scares the holy shit out of them and the liberal agenda they are supporting in hopes of getting a job or some other form of payments (all about the money) oh wait, he did get a job, how long did that last>,,,,,what a few days?.lmmfao.silly bastard your words here do not even make sense.slow down, speak in truths and know the real story, hopefully we wont have to call you a straight up liar...lmmfao

  • As long as Rick Perry is praying to Jesus he's okay with me.

  • This channel is sh#t I watched like 3 secs of it and the guy at the beginning is a c***.

    Just Saying. :)

  • Gotta love the ads for every title. This is about crooked insurance yet the ad on the side is about insurance.

  • Folks,

    Are reporters asking Perry about his "dead parasite insurance" plans that are being pushed by his financial guru?

  • I hope to God Rick Perry Never becomes President..... He's the Devil without a doubt

  • But Rick Perry is a chuch-going christian. There's no way he ever be involved in something as scandalous like this. #sarcasm

  • If republicans become president my parents said they pay for us to move to a country of our choosing (and they would be moving to Germany =P )

  • Economic gen...Crook

  • Yes, I heard about this 'dead peasants' insurance. Where fucked up companies like Wal Mart and banks will take out insurance policies on their employees, especially the ones with health issues and when that person dies, that company gets a big check. It's disgusting and unethical but look who endorses this crap-Rick Perry. Can't say I'm surprised. Fucking crooked politicians.

  • GAY perry, will be a DISASTER for the country.

  • @mitchthemich Hey that's insulting to gay people.

  • @TheWrongFlyer indeed hahaha

  • @mitchthemich It is better to call him Prick Perry , it fits him well and has good alliteration. 

  • I dont get it, these politicians make millions of dollars a year, with just 1 million a year I wouldn't have to worry about a single thing for the rest of my life, why do they keep wanting MORE MORE MORE???

  • Clinton was no better than any other president. We need a revolution

    10/06/2011

    october2011 org/welcome

  • @psychokillercrab why 10/26/2011?

  • @TrueTacticia Go to the website. It explain the thousands including celebrities going to protest against the govt and stay til the demands are met.

  • @psychokillercrab okie dokie

  • I thought gambling is illegal? :)

  • Watch "capitalism, a love story". It's scary how much corruption is going on behind our backs

  • Perry is a fine example of the standards held by the republinazi party.

    *Profits before people*.

    Dead Peasant Policies are not illegal. I pay the insurance premiums....I get the payout.....that's only fair since I paid for the policy. Your family has no right to the settlement check.....you didn't pay the premiums, remember?

    Everything Hitler did was legal.....at the time.

  • Get ready for a fuck up economy, when this fuck turd get elected.

  • @arron1236 He ain't getting elected to shit.

  • Dead peasents. All you need to know about the wealthy Republicans in this country and how they see us.

  • Actually, Peasant policies have been around for a long time. Companies have been taking out insurance policies on valuable employees. However, this was made illegal back in 2006. It's legal if the insured approves.

  • In order to insure someone you must have an insurable interest otherwise I would insure the guy down the street then spread the rumor that he is a snitch.

  • Hey Rick, let's insure all the freshman and then give them motorcycles to ride to school that has to be good for a 1000% return on investment. This whole scenario doesn't make sense because in order for the state to win the insurance companies would have to lose and he is in their pocket.

  • Why did you think Walmart hired those elderly greeters?

  • i remember when walmart did dead pesants insurance and this one walmart employee quit because his wife worked for walmart, she died of cancer and his funeral cost were $5000 dollars, and an insurance company called him by accident (they were suppose to call the walmart head office) and told him that his wife has a life insurance policy of $20000, he said "when can i get the money" and the insurance company said " or we weren't suppose to call you and we already paid out the money to walmart....

  • the "dead peasants insurance" line made me sick to my stomach...just sickening...

  • Fuck rick perry, texas, and republicans.

  • Comment removed

  • @drdodson76104 Typical Libby, you have to resort to childish name calling. This is obviously a smear campaign by the Demwits in an attempt to throw attention off of the Presidents dismal ratings, and even worse "jobs package" what a load of crap.

  • @MarcoBrolo You realize that the reason for his dismal ratings is primarily for agreeing with republicans and doing whatever they and giant corporations want, right?

  • @MedievalWerewolf Nope, wrong. Don't try to blame the Repubbys on this one. You guys have been doing that since the day he was elected, "blame bush", "blame republicans" that's tiring and its bad governing on your leaders part. Can't wait until we can vote these guys outta there. What has your dear leader done lately ? Nada, he sucks, his party and ideology sucks. Maybe if you left wingers werent so radical in your beliefs and politics we'd get somewhere.

  • @MarcoBrolo What a truly idiotic interpretation of what I said. I was placing all of the blame square on him, for agreeing with and pushing for republican positions. There is next to nothing even remotely leftist in his policies whatsoever, and you've been duped by right wing talking heads that this administration has been in any way liberal.

    Radical? Look in the mirror. We're left of center, you're off the fucking deep end. Have fun voting overwhelmingly against your own best interests.

  • @MedievalWerewolf Really ? None of his policies are Leftist, are you kidding me ? You've been fooled by ugly Rachel Maddow and Keith Gayberman and the rest of the left wing MSNBC media minions my friend. BTW i'm voting Ron Paul. I bet you voted for Obama too, didn't you, ha ha ha. Shoulda voted for Ron Paul.

  • @MarcoBrolo Funny, because I haven't watched them in years, yet I'm fully aware of all the massively right wing policies that he's championed, essentially the extension of just about every single one of Bush's social, economic, and military policies. What, Fox isn't telling you that? Womp womp!

    Vote Republican: Because some people just aren't meant to have basic human necessities.

    As for me, I'm voting no confidence. In our candidates, and in fucking retards like you who elect them.

  • @MedievalWerewolf Yeah right. You guys rag on Fox news like it's the worst thing in the world, but it's not. Pundits like O'reilly are far more unbiased than Liberal media. Why do you Left wingers always have to resort to name calling and insults when you don't agree ? Thats because you guys are clinging to a tyrannical ideology.

  • @MarcoBrolo The left, tyrannical? O'Reilly, unbiased?! Lolol! You are so divorced from reality.

    There is nothing more tyrannical than a modern republican. Let me count the ways. Wanton wars of aggression in foreign countries, assaults on the rights of women and gays, giving massive tax breaks and free passes on big banks and corporations to do whatever they want, imposing religious dogma on the whole country, massively draconian drug and immigration laws. . . how's all that working for ya?

  • @MedievalWerewolf Those aren't wars of aggression, those are wars of self defense. Assault on women and gay rights ? What rights do gays lack ? Marriage ? Gays shouldnt be allowed to marry man, come on. Draconian Drug and Immigration laws ? Those laws are working just fine except liberals and Democrats bend those laws

  • @MarcoBrolo Compelling argument: "Gays shouldn't be allowed to marry men, come on".

    Seriously?  That's the best you've got?

  • @Xerxes4242 That's the truth man. What rights are gays being denied, or women ? None.

  • @MarcoBrolo In your mind, I suppose gays shouldn't have the same rights as everyone else. It's hard to argue with someone so deeply flawed:/

  • @Xerxes4242 Gays have rights, they just shouldnt be allowed to marry. Look at the cesspool we call california and what the gays have done to that state.

  • @MarcoBrolo K, done with you. Hopefully just a troll, but there really are retards like you out there

  • @MarcoBrolo ---

    Uhm homosexuals in your country are denied equal legal status to heterosexuals when it comes to a number of household priveleges, quite valuabler for the common family.

    But, surprise, your country has a history of fiercly repressing social minorities until the very end.

  • @underbjorn What equal status are they denied ??????????? None man

  • @MarcoBrolo ---

    Are you kidding me? Married couple get special priveleges in household economy in the U.S.

    They can't marry, they can't get those benefits.

    Geez...

  • @MedievalWerewolf Nice. My dad is the same way. Too much Fox News Kool -Aide.

  • @MarcoBrolo He's more unbiased than "liberal media"?

    Okay, at one point during the Bush administration he called for complete obedience and for nay-sayers to "shut up" and fall in line when the president did anything war related.

    Of course he's the nay-sayer and the one who yells the loudest at Obama.

    Hypocrit and biased out the ass.

  • @Squiglypig Show me proof. Your liberal commie friends the lesbian Maddow and Gaybermann call for complete subservience to the President and his out of control spending.

  • @MarcoBrolo Lol, you're hilarious.

    Gotta find a way to vent that anger because you're picked on at school, huh?

    Pathetic.

  • @Squiglypig No.

  • @MarcoBrolo Fox is the only channel that has to put up "Fair and Balanced" and "NoSpin" or whatever.

    But the truth is, harping on that is like saying you have a big cock; if you have to keep selling it, it's probably a lie.

  • @MedievalWerewolf Actually, if you look at the political spectrum of 20-30 years ago, you'll find you're probably RIGHT of what the center used to be. That's how much the Overton window has slid rightward since Reagan.

  • @MarcoBrolo There's solid Republican precedent for blame. Reagan blamed Carter for years after becoming President, even in State of the Union speeches and Dubya was, beyond 2006, still blaming Clinton for North Korea and job losses

  • @R4t10n4L Carter was a disaster, and Clinton was the reason allot of this is the way it is. NAFTA wasn't exactly great, nor was his economic record.

  • @MarcoBrolo Clinton made mistakes, but some of those were forced on him.Anyway, he erased the deficit and lowered the debt almost every year. The GOP claimed the 1993 Debt Reduction Act would increase taxes on middle and lower - bullshit. It would have upped the burden on the very wealthy, so even back then the GOP was sucking millionaire cock. But the real point is that blaming previous administrations didn't start with Obama. By the way, Carter didn't raise the debt either.

  • @bannor99 Really ? Carter didn't raise the debt ? Typical Liberal revisionist history man. It's like all of the left has an agenda

  • @MarcoBrolo Oh, please unbunch your red panties. What I meant was he didn't make the debt / GDP worse - the ratio improved by a bit more than 3.0 during his term. Most of the administrations, red or blue, had been improving the Debt/GDP ratio or only small losses since WWII.

    But, Along Came Ronnie, riding on a horse and the debt sailed off into the sunset.

  • @bannor99 No way. Reagan was the greatest President in the nations history bro. He inherited the debt from Carter, can't trick anyone with your liberal lies and venom man.

  • @MarcoBrolo The debt Reagan inherited was the total accumulated since the begining of the country, about 1 trillion. It wasn't Carters trillion. Reagan laid the groundwork for the disaster we have now. He initiated peacetime defict spending among other things.

    And no...I'm not a liberal. And no....I don't like Obama.

    Try to find unbias sources of information. Fox news and conservative radio, as with all mainsteam media are terrible places to get information.

  • @peng1965a  Amen...

  • @peng1965a

    Deficit spending is not a problem. Where do you think net money comes from?

  • @WilhelmDrake This is sarcasm, right?

  • @peng1965a

    No.

    If the private sector wants to net save in dollars, the only way for this to occur is for the government to run a deficit.

    Public deficit = Private Surplus & vice versa

  • @WilhelmDrake Well, yes, some amount of debt/deficit is necessary for the government to function. But if that debt/deficit is allowed to grow unchecked, interest on the debt will eventually be so much of the Federal Budget that the Government cannot continue to pay for necessary services along with the interest. Eventually you will reach a point of unsustainable debt. That's common sense.

  • @peng1965a

    The Federal Government is not a household or firm, there is no analogy to be made.

    It is the monopoly issuer of the nations currency, not a user of the currency.

    It spends by crediting bank accounts.

    Deficits do not necessitate the issuing of debt.

    Debt is issued in order to maintain the overnight interest rate. It does not fund deficit spending.

    Taxes function to regulate aggregate demand & demand for the currency, they do not fund spending.

  • @WilhelmDrake So, if what you are saying is true....Why bother to keep track of the National Debt at all? And why worry about a Federal Budget? Doesn't the constant inflation of the money supply devalue the currency?

  • @peng1965a

    The "Nation Debt" is by definition the private sectors assets. If the private sector wants to net save in US dollars, the only way for that to occur is if the federal government is to net spend.

    The constraint (other than voluntary constraints) occurs when the economy is at full capacity (full employment, full resource utilization, etc), at this point further spending can cause inflation.

  • @WilhelmDrake National Debt defined is the amount the Government extends in bonds and securities. Nevertheless, your answers are interesting. What is your opinion of the so-called Euorpean Debt Crisis? And of the hundreds of Trillions in derivitives? ( I consider the derivitives as contrived nonsense...financial giberish, designed to create a crisis for the financial gain of a few people in high places ).

  • @MarcoBrolo Correction: 3.0% not 3.0 - not a commie revisionist agenda, just a typo. You know, you could have simply pointed out that Carter did increase the debt and by how much. Instead you quickly assumed I have some crazy lefitst agenda to rewrite history. Should I then assume that you are a rabid rightwingnutsucker?

  • @bannor99 No, i'm not a right wing crazy like the tea party. But Liberals always have an agenda for everything. They can't be trusted. I bet your a lib.

  • @MarcoBrolo You sound like a Conservofacist to me boy howdy!

    Fucking clowns the lot of you.

  • @MarcoBrolo Ah yes... and catch-all labels always describe everyone so perfectly.

  • @MarcoBrolo It IS national news, there's dozens of sources running this story. Oh, but to a fat, stupid Republicunt like you, if you don't see it on Fox then it's another liberal lie.

  • I want to marry Rick Perry. He's a dream man. Bigoted, ignorant and dumb. That's what i love in a man.

  • I am amazed that they have absolutely no fear of a civil war breaking out.

  • Vote Ron Paul or at least hear what he has to say!

  • @diballynibally Ron Paul is just as bad as the rest. Knowing what he would do to the country, I can't understand how anyone could support him.

  • it's sick, i got a headache from listening to this

  • One more reason why Unions are a necessity. "Right to work" my ass. "At will employment" is also bull$h!t.

  • Put "But that's illegal!" on the soundboard nao!!!

  • He probably prayed for this during his political 'prayer session.'

    I'm sorry, if you are so inept that you do not know how to fix the problems in our country that you have to seek help of an imaginary being, why should anyone vote for you? Are you just going to pray that the recession ends instead of doing something to end it? EVEN THOUGH YOU KNOW YOU'RE MAKING IT WORSE! FUCKING CUNT!

  • as a texan, I have always hated rick perry and i hope he loses, because if he wins the the presidential election, america is screwed

  • @fnckyou2 Obama is being screwed either way with and without Obama.

  • I cant possibly fathom how anyone can vote for this guy, especially after hearing about this.

  • @sensur1..... I Like how Rick Perry is the GOP front runner and he hasn't even said anything, or debated anyone yet.. And some how he surpassed Mitt Romney in 2 weeks? lol!!

    Ron Paul 2012!!

  • I think we could start freaking the wall street out if we started taking life insurance out on them, especially the ones that pay out on violent death. we could call it "Dead Parasite Insurance" We might get them to actually reevaluate the profit motive.

  • Where are these "oh-so-superior" "christian moral values"?

    Who's worse? Richard "I'm not a crook" Nixon, or Rick Perry?

  • I love Cenks Rick perry impression!

  • Rick Perry is the textbook example of a crooked politician.

  • I think the new logo for the Republican party should be a Pirate Flag since they like to steal...!

  • @METALMAN4Wii - lmao.

  • as dumb as they are when it comes to science and many other subjects, conservatives are evil geniuses in regards to maximizing profits. outlaw abortion+get rid of labor laws=more poor people working for crappy wages+more pawns to die for oil=more deaths they can make a profit on. all the while controlling media outlets to keep people blind to it, and even make many of them support goals that hurt their own interests. it's like a super villain's diabolical plot from a comic book.

  • @Cuddlebunzzzz

    They're the true Decepticons!

  • If Rick Perry gets elected, I'm moving to another country.

  • Rick Perry's 2012 campaign slogan: "Yes we can take out Dead Peasants' Insurance"

  • They covered this in Michael Moore's "Capitalism: A Love Story"

  • @Queram Indeed. Great film. It's been going on for years.

  • A crook, Romney. A fanatic Perry. Here's what's going to happen. They will use Bachman to remove Paul and then remove Bachman. Obama gets a free win. Disgusting that we don't get any real choices. How about we dip into those 300 million Americans that aren't rich elite?

  • This is simply another case of the working class serving the leading class with their lives----though quite literally in this case.

  • Rick Perry is a moron...is this supposed to be news?

  • Walmart has been doing this for a long time, nothing new here.

  • The Republicans have so many disgusting schemes. I bet that Rick Perry just have up with a new one: If we kill all of the unemployed Americans, then we will solve unemployment! It is sad that people actually take this man seriously

  • Phil Graham is a disgusting psychopath. Absolutely disgusting. If he didn't wear a suit, he'd be a common criminal, and probably diagnosed as a psychopath.

  • Here's your life insurance policy, along with free smokes and 10 pounds of bacon..... enjoy!

  • Wow, I love those christian values. As an immoral atheist, I have sooo much to learn from these fucktards.

  • Funny how such a distasteful scheme comes from someone who prays and preaches. He should ask himself--would Jesus Christ approve?

  • A disaster it would be if Rick Perry got elected...lol...yes because Obama's reelection wouldn't be a repeat of the unmitigated disaster his first term was. I'm assuming that's your implication:Rick Perry election bad Obama election good...I literally cant think of anything worse than people thinking a guy is awesome(Most average uninformed Liberals still think Obama's 'great!')as he pours tax money into Bank CEOs pockets and tortures whistle blowers.The greatest trick the devil ever pulled...

  • @AcresofAnarchy

    "Most average uninformed Liberals still think Obama's 'great!'"

    No liberal think's Obama is even good.

    Just lesser of all the evils.

  • Do a story on how Wells Fargo is selling account information to NUF ACC INSR 800 -572-5848 letting them withdraw money without consent.

  • The more religious politicians seem to be the bigger assholes they are.

  • I think Rick Perry and Phil Gramm are pieces of scum to put life insurance on on retired school teachers so so they can get rich life insurance policies should be for family members only on the median family not at some pointers . it just goes to shew there is no justice system in America and the more when political leaders that makes depth money . The republican politicians and let the due god's work for him .there's bad as terrorist the Muslim faith for approval .

  • When coming from a Rick Perry perspective, everyone is a genius so take it with a grain of salt.

  • So now I'm left wondering if progressives and democrats are going to stay home to teach Obama a lesson? Or better yet will they vote for Perry or Romney to get back at Obama.

  • If Texas never had any oil, it would be Somalia.

  • @TheFunkadelicFan

    yeah,but full of whiney christians

  • for fuck's sake, when will the US working class realize they are being eaten alive by the rich? Working class republicans are the worst self-loathing ignorant fools I have ever known.

  • Why is Phil Graham not in jail?

  • I don't understand, this seemingly thoughtless view about "dead peasants" insurance. Doesn't everyone under the sun know life insurance is a scam. I get being upset with subsidies but companies insuring the lives of employees that may be irreplaceable. It just seems like Cenk didn't take any time to really think what he is saying through and neither did whoever he took this story from.

  • @SlipperySnake321 Wal mart can take insurance out on people that it gives below poverty wages and no healthcare to ensuring their untimely demise.

  • If you've ever worked for Walmart, you probably have one in your name :)

  • I think Rick Perry was right, Phil Graham is an economic genius. A genius at gaming the system for his own benefit.

  • I thought us athiests were supposed to be the one's who have no morals.

  • @52questionmarks You're thinking of nihilists or amoralists.

  • @Hobbitgoth But then again, Ricky Perry wouldn't know the difference.

  • @52questionmarks no bro we invented morals

  • @starscreamdkmo thats right!!

  • @52questionmarks atheists have morals, we are able to decide whats right and wrong based on being responsible for our actions. christians can do whatever they want, but as long as they repent, they go to heaven.... owned
