  • Ok well its been over 2 years and unemployment is at 9.1%. The economy should be growing more by now. Guess Obama's right, those jobs arnt so shovel ready.

  • The problem is that tax cuts create inflation, and who's paying for the tax cuts?

  • Saying that tax cuts to promote govt revenue is basically saying that corporations deserve 'a cut' of federal tax revenue like mafiosos. Isn't the simplest way to pay for services to cut out the middle-man? So isn't people paying income or consumption taxes for federal services is the most efficient way to achieve that? If one advocates for cutting federal services and match with tax cuts, ok fine... but cutting all services and all taxes still leaves $13T+ in debt that needs to paid.

  • Not that I agree with all of Obama's policies and spending in the past 18 months.....I agree that we CANNOT stay in the same policies as we have in the Bush Administration!!!

    EVERYONE agrees that even if Obama made every single godly right choice, the economy won't just turn around completely in 2 years.

  • "TAX CUTS" actually means CUT THE ALREADY LOW CORPORATE TAX RATE TO 0%. THEY ARENT TALKING ABOUT YOU AND ME THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT MEG WHITMAN AND THE BILLIONAIRES THAT ALREADY PAY 17% INCOME TAX, WHILE AMERICANS MAKING LESS THAN 500K PAY 30% INCOME TAX

  • People are so dumb. The question was more then a little "loaded", it's like asking if your parents know your gay.

    Youngturk sensationalizes NOTHING once again. Dude get off your high hoarse your a fucking tool.

  • The Republican Party isn't ideologically bankrupt--it was founded over those opposed to slavery. Most people IN the party are retarded.

  • No, he didn't say that the economic policies didn't lead to the disaster. He said that there is a lot more than these policies that lead to the disaster. You are a disaster.

  • now its been 18 months - so obama s an ass and he is stupid!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Hey Cenk Dumbfuck Uygur, so after you dropped out of college you decide to host a liberal masturbation program from your mommy's basement?

  • @HayateAce Cenk Uygur didn't drop out of college, you stupid fuck. He's a graduate of the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania and Columbia Law School, then he went to work for a law firm in New York. You, obviously, don't have any of your facts straight to even judge anybody who is more educationally superior to you. Next time, get your head out of your ass first then you can have a reason to talk shit.

  • @HayateAce He's not liberal, he is independent. Dipshit. Know your facts before you talk shit, you worthless fucking moron.

  • @fuklibs Not what I saw vid turks got a good point what do you have obama lies? weak man weak

  • MrShadeBleade,

    Lets see,

    1)"My administraion will be Open & transparent". Most meetings are private.

    2)"I will end pork barrel spending & corporate welfare". Tell it to GM, Chrysler, the banks & mortgage companies!

    3)"I will end ALL EARMARKS". His first bill had 9000 fucking earmarks!

    4)"I will not have any lobbyists in my administration". There are 49 in his administration.

    5)"No more secrecy in Gov't". He has an "enemies list"!

    6)"All bills will be online 5 days for the public to see"?

  • we have morals, we just stand by them

  • padude64: By reading most comments on your channel, you're a confused person, I really should ignore you, but to set the record straight, middle east doesn't hate US, the Islamic Extremist hate everyone. They attack India, Spain, England n everywhere they see fit, US is the only super power stood in their world domination ambition. For the amount of hate words you used on peoples, you should use the name ALLAH, because you act like an extremist, please don't try to spell the word "GOD".

  • No Just all the world hated the us because of George Bush.

  • darkvampire: You are right, I dislike G. Bush for that he had started a war but can't finish, also he didn't try to stop the mortgage madness while he had a chance to do so. The US is in deep recession because Bush was preoccupied with the war, he knew all about the CRA (Carter 77), n Clinton's 1999 pressuring Fannie n Freddie further into the subprime investment (ck wikipedia under Fannie), now the whole world is suffering because Bush mismanaged the courtry.

  • Comment removed

  • The middle east hated Bush and that is why we got attacked! I know I am right in what I say!

  • The republicans will be in the tank next week thank God! What a bunch of hate spewing pigs!

  • Tax cut stimulate economy, mortgage melt down is the problem. The Liberals push for home ownership during the Clinton's Administration for all unqualified borrowers, Fanny n Fredy went along with it.

  • assuming any of this is true. so?

    liberals now (and for the forseeable future) have the power to reregulate, socialize, tax & spend and do whatever we see fit to do with your hard-earned tax dollars. and the gop is imploding and can't seem to get their act together.

    you really think whining about what (supposedly) happened under clinton and offering more tax cuts is the smart strategy?

    i hope so. it means liberal gov't until at least 2016.

  • Whining? It got some attention didn't it? hahaha! As far as I concern the liberal could run this bankrupted country forever, like they said be careful what you wish for, remenber The Soviet Union. I am lucky enough to be in safe distant from the damage, just feel sorry for the next 2 generations.

  • if as far as you're concerned liberals can run the country conservatives raped, pillaged and plundered, why are you whining about fannie mae, freddie mac and bill clinton? I realize that getting "some attention" is a big deal for a 92 year old, but do you really plan to spend what's left of your life getting negative attention from liberals on youtube? is that what a life of right-wing, conservo ideas gets you? i feel sorry for you oldster.

  • I stand on issues but not on party line, you don't need to feel sorry for anyone, there is a good chance that I'll out live you. Of cause the true hurts, just pretend you didn't hear it, The People's Republic Of America is just a different way of life, if you are happy like all the former Soviet's citizens, more power to you and I am sure that I can survive along with it.

  • I was and always was against bush and If you do not like it, burn in hell!

  • YOu are supposed to say I am and alwayse was...

    "Not was and always was" Maybe I was and always have been against Bush.

    Dipshit.

  • Republicans are haters and If you want to debate me, well bring it on!

  • padude64: Name calling is hate, also it's labeled as hate crime in the Democrat's HATE CRIME BILL.

  • calling one party a joke without addressing the faults of the other party is an epic fail in any debate on republicans and democrats. the better question to ask yourself when voting for a presidential candidate is: what flavor of shit do you want for the next 4 years?

  • You call the Republican party a joke? There are some Repubilcans who are clowns like Lindsay Graham. You want to talk about a joke. How about Democrats running California into the ground for the longest time..

  • reagan run california into the ground by making all those stupid tax cuts into law.

  • At least the republicans don't murder unborn children and support crack addicts and felons. At least the republicans don't punish success and reward failure. At least the republicans don't support programs that suck down the wealth and fail. At least the republicans don't force kids into government schools that have too much money and dumb down our kids At least republicans dont disarm law abiding citizens. At least republicans dont suppress dissent or assault people during rallies like the Dems

  • HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

    yeah republicans don't murder anyone (except everyone who doesn't agree with them and unborn embryos)

  • TV people will say ANYTHING to make their point.

    Whether what they say is factual, or correct, or not;

    How sad and worthless these Republican pundits are.

  • the question at the beginning of the interview was kinda a no win situation. would 8 more years of the policies that got into this mess be a good thing? i mean i'm not a fan of republicans but how else can you answer except like he did

  • ummm, you can answer "not, it would not be good". But he did not say that, he said "you betcha, the tax cuts, the national defense blah blah".

  • I saw about 50 of your posts in the past two days and I love how you argue your points. Love it. Keep up the good work.

  • This republican is a clown. He lies, then gets caught, then yells.

  • Barack Obama destroyed this economy

    Proof:

    \watch?v=1hQjGQgfglM&feature=c­hannel_page

    George Wigger bush didn't even get as bad.

  • HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA

  • Bush and Cheney destroyed this country big man! Get what I say when I say big man

  • Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama also have a heavy hand more so than Bush

    Also when Bush's tax cuts took effect there where more people working even though they weren't broad or large enough.

  • No you are incorrect. Conservatism is against government getting in the way of innovation and personal values no matter what they are. Neo conservatism is what pushes its moral values onto everyone else and encourages expanding of the empire through liberal foreign policy.

  • Let it be known that that guy is a neo-conservative hack, not a conservative.

  • haha no he is 100% conservative from the stupid language , to the deluded ideas. Conservatism conserves old values, thats why its bad, innovation and intellectual values are Not respected, as they cause change, which conservatives by label do not agree.

  • Anyone know anyone more balanced than Chris Mathews?

  • All republicans do is talk loud, point fingers and do nothing. They never take blame for their mistakes. All we Americans want them to do at this point is admit fault for their mistakes, shut the fuck up and work with the President to get this country back on track. Remember when the republicans said it was un-American to not stand by your president.

  • "we Americans"? Last time I checked, Republicans were still a good portion of the people in this country. ou may not like them o what they have to say, but they are still a legitimate part of this country.

  • Oh, I remember that like yesterday!

    Republicans were constantly saying this shit when Bush was in office... "If you're against our commander-in-chief you're not an american"

  • C'mon Turk. Nice how you minimize "the pimple". Is Daschle's tax "forgetfulness" a pimple too? What I'm saying is both parties have mud to throw at each other, so if you think that dems come out of this clean, you are about as dense as the people you are talking about.

  • republicans are clowns. that guy even looks like a clown.

  • An evil clown, they're only funny now the bastards are out of power. Dance clown dance!

  • Yes. Clowns are scary.

  • Let's say some non-English speaking people are planning to immigrate to America. How are you going to keep them out without the threat of murder?

  • For the second & last time. Who on earth is advocating murder? America was founded on self responsibility. Learn basic English before applying for visa. U.S should deny entrance to applicants who do not have the basic skills to succeed in America. (Just like New Zealand )

  • Let's say I buy a house. One morning there is a vicious knock on my door. A car salesman who I have never met saids to me that he has bought me a car. I must either pay for the vehicle or I must leave the country.

    Doesn't this seem totally absurd? You'll probably say yes it is. I have no contract with this car salesmen and thus don't have to pay him for the car. (Cont>>>>>>>)

  • Dave--"Are you trying to say that if I I live next to you you have the right to impose unchosen obligations onto me?"

    No. But the U.S has a constitution, single language, anthem & flag. If you are a practicing Cannibal who just arrived from Togo-eating humans in N.Y will cost you your freedom for a very long time. This is America, not Togo. Yes- you have to abide by quite a few "unchosen obligations". Your freedom is guaranteed as long as it doesn't infringed on mine.

  • So what if it has a constitution? I never signed anywhere on it saying I'm subject to the rule of your government.

    Oh, and by the way a immigrant is not a cannible.

  • But you see this is precisely what you doing. You are saying by the very act of being in close proximity to you you now all of a sudden have the right to impose unchosen obligations unto me. (such as having to learn English before I enter the country) Why is the car salesmen's social contract illegitimite but yours is?

    And let's face. You allready believe in free immigration between towns, cities, districts, regions, and states so why not immigration between countries?

  • Dave-I impose nothing on you. Your obligations equal mine. Same flag, anthem and constitution. This is my country. You chose to come here. Welcome ! Remember, I owe you nothing but wish you well. We speak English. In France they speak French & in Mexico they speak Spanish

  • "I impose nothing on you. Your obligations equal mine. Same flag, anthem and constitution. This is my country."

    Moving into a a country does not imply a contract to abide by the rules of that country. Le'ts say I'm going to a public mall. A man in a dark suit pops up, points a gun to my head and gives me three choices.

    1)Stay where I am and die

    2)Give him all my money

    3)Or refrain from entering the mall

    How does my ability to leave the situation negate the fact he is committing coercion?

  • Dave---"So what if it has a constitution? I never signed anywhere on it saying I'm subject to the rule of your government"

    Look Dave, you advocate Anarchy. Chaos. No respect for the law of the land. That's insane. I can't help you. I must be going now. Take care

  • Anarchy means "no rulers". It doesn't mean "chaos" or "no respect for the law of the land". It doesn't mean no law.

    All I'm trying to point out is how inconsistent you are in applying ethical principles. Technically, in this discussion I never advocated completely abolishing the law making body that is in place.

  • Dave---Last time I checked, applying for a visa to New Zealand requires proof of much money and a profession that New Zealand needs. Wow. What a concept...In New Zealnad-you must become a New Zealander, comply with the pre-requisites and support yourself. Great.

  • Okay, so what? Why is a car salesmen's unable to partake in aggression but a New Zealander bureaurat can? They are both humans are't they?

  • Dave-America became a super power much before FDR,Social Security & Welfare. Migrants came to take a shot at the American dream with zero entitlements. Self responsibility, hard work and "Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country" (JFK)

  • Karl Rove was one of the cheif architects of this mess we're in and he continues to rear his ugly head with his lies and fearmongering.He has no business opening his mouth about the Obama administration.He and other right wing crazies are trying to make Americans forget how we really got into this mess,like the economy just got f*cked up on January 20,2009 or something

  • Blaming the economic collapse on greed is like blaming gravity for an airplane crash. Why is it now all of a sudden so much different than before?

    There is only one institution in America that is powerful enough to fundamentally change the way the economy works. THAT my fellow statists, I'll leave you to figure out.

  • The state of the economy is %20 government & %80 psychology. When the media pounds pessimism and horrid projections on a daily basis for its own biased political gain the public eventually succumbs to the "upcoming menace" and loses confidence. Hence an economic meltdown

  • "%20 government & %80 psychology"

    Wrong. Your assuming everyone has equal power. Clearly controlling the Fed grants you far more power over the economy than owning just one corporate skyscraper.

  • When the Fed's chairman testifies in front of Congress, Wall Street absorbs each syllable, each squint & bodily gesture intently. He can project confidence or lack of it with alarming ease. Wall Street = the public hence the power of psychology. Altering interest rates-Part of %20. Wall Street reacts to Obama's predictions of a looming depression. Even Clinton chastised him on the issue (wonder why...)

  • Alterring the interest rates and/or the money supply affects ALL of the economy in the long run. Not only 20%.

    I argueing against this idea that government only controls 20% of the economy....not that the status of the economy is mostly effected by psychology. Sorry I didn't make that clear earlier.

  • Carter left office with U.S economy in dire straits. Regean reduced role of government to minimum but above all his self confidence & respect were so contagious that U.S regained its shattered self confidence & respect too hence economy suddenly boomed. Not all but significant role to psychology.

  • Reagon did not decrease the size of government. He increased it. In fact, he made the Department of Education 2 times bigger. Expanding the government's role in education is probably the #1 worst thing to do if your desire is to decrease the size of government.

    I agree. Capital accumulation is more important to a struggling economy than forced consumption. The whole "stimulus package" is based on complete fallacies.

  • U.S must produce not consume. Ingenuity, self responsibility,free enterprise, one language, minimum entitlements, no African, Hispanic Americans. Simply Americans. No Mexican flag in Los Angeles. National pride. No chronic self bashing. President role is to inspire all of the above...

  • Why only one language? What are you going to do......use violence against those that use other languages?

  • Italians & Germans immigrated through Ellis Island with a burning desire to become Americans and learn English. keep heritage with pride as an American. NO to Balkanizing the U..S. No bilingual options will force Hispanics to learn English faster. Bilingual education=Catastrophe in the making.

  • SO what if the original Italians and Germans wanted to learn English? So fucking what? Are you really going to so murder someone if they decide not to use your language? How can you not see the blatant act of aggression you are condoning here?

    Bilingual education is not a disaster. Countries that teach their students two langanges are statistically smarter than ones that teach only one language. Look at Europe for example.

  • Dave--Who on earth advocated murder for crying out loud? Where do you see aggression in having English as the official language of America? Don't Balkanize the U.S. One flag, one anthem and one language for all. Teach English first so students can better themselves in life. Second languages are secondary.

  • Well, tell me exactly how you would make the country's language to officially by English? Let's say two people decide to use a langauge other that English to communicate thoughts or exchange goods. What are you going to do about it?

  • So what happens if some parents decide to enroll their children in a school that does not teach English. What are you going to do about it?

  • Dave---"If some parents decide to enroll their children in a school that does not teach English. What are you going to do about it?"

    As long as it is a totally private school I have absolutely no problem with it.

  • Regean famously declared that government is not the solution but rather the problem. He substantially lowered taxes (hence smaller government) & deregulated the markets. He lowered non military budgets across the board. (education included!). Carter's catastrophic debacles were quickly turned into prosperity & national pride . Unfortunately, the national debt grew as well. (can't win them all, now can you?_)

  • You're missing the point. You're efforts to decrease the size of government are futile if you decide the Department of Education should get bigger.

  • My knowledge of U.S history regards Regean as the champion of small government (education included). Government managed Social Security to the ground. Zero capability to manage anything but war (even that is doubtful). Free enterprise has major shortcoming but that's the best system there is. Greed is good but must be kept at bay. Success should not be vilified. Wealth distribution=Socialism redefined. Yikes !!!

  • The government has been increasing in size and in spending expodentially since its inception.

  • Dave---No Spanish or English options when dialing official business. No tax payed translation to Spanish in court or any other official documents. Only English. Personal or private business-none of my business. Melting pot to the rescue. No to Balkanizing the U.S. You come to America-Become an American. Keep your roots with pride but remember, you joined us-we didn't join you!

  • "Keep your roots with pride but remember, you joined us-we didn't join you!"

    What are you trying to imply? Are you trying to say that if I I live next to you you all of a sudden now have the right to impose unchosen obligations onto me?

  • Dave--"A car salesman who I have never met bought me a car. I must pay or leave the country. "

    Totally irrelevant & absurd analogy. Not worth responding

  • And to the dude who does all these, you just wish you were as powerful or as convincing as Rush Limbaugh. Haha keep preaching to your choir, you're not getting any converts.

  • Bias much?

  • And fucking chris matthews is a piece of shit. And lol republicans are ideologically bankrupt? what does that make democrats, the saviors? lol fuck socialism, I'm a winner.

  • No democrats are the winners now, dont be selfish, be fair! Like the republicans say, b inclusive, and like "fox", be fair and balanced, but we all know they can't do that. Like they say, they represent "real America"! Well it dems time now, so for 8 yrs "fake" america waited, while the "real" america and bush blew the economy to hell. And why karl rove aint got no warrants yet? He be on hannity and o'reilly, but he cant see the judge?

  • be fair? what the fuck does that mean, "shut the fuck up and agree to liberals insane ideology".

    By the way, thank you barney frank, chris dodd, and bill clinton for the mess we're currently in. Sub Prime Mortgages, what a great idea huh?

    And for 8 years we weren't attacked, and our economy was sound until this democrat architected "disaster" unfolded just before election time, how fucking peculiar.

  • Republican party needs an overhaul, they have bankrupted this nation...period.

    Should have gone with Ron Paul.

  • thats true, and its funny, the only guy who can seem to help the party is someone who doesnt share most of the same views with the rest of the party lol. i find that ironic

  • Six of the last 8 years were STRONG? Ummm... No... No they weren't We were in trouble by 03, however too many people took the saying "Don't change horses in the middle of a war." It's not all Bush's fault, it's not, but he also did nothing to help.

  • it was the housing policies of the 90's....just sayin

  • Prosperity stems from a fusion of ideologies. Republicans went astray just as much as Jimmy Carter did (well, not quite but close). Bill Clinton began to thrive went forced to the center by a Republican Congress. No one holds a magic wand. Only merged ideologies can navigate to a safe shore.

  • Bravo! Merged ideologies is the hallmark of human mastery.

  • True Capitalism made the U.S. A super power. The rise of entitlement, the country owes me and I do not owe the country a thing is cancer redefined. A catastrophe in the making. The age of self responsibility is currently gasping for air.

  • It all comes from bad central finance. All these people with their hands out for donations are the symptom, not the cause. Did you know that nearly every dollar raised in income taxes goes straight to paying the interest on our debt? Interest we should never have paid in the first place as our Constitution stipulates we are free to print our own money rather than paying interest to someone who creates it for us. Poor people on the dole are not the villains here. It started a hundred years ago.

  • Israel has close to zero rain. Necessity brought innovation. Israel invented the dripping irrigation system that conserves water and export it world wide. No one to rely on brought ingenuity

  • No one to rely on? Do you know how many billions the US has poured into Israel? Can't say the same for some dirtbag african country, can we?

  • Most aid to Israel is military. U.S made weapons, made by Americans hence indirect subsidy to U.S. The U.S gave more money to Africa than all the world combined. Under Bush, U.S. gave Aids assistance that all the world could not match by a long shot.

  • What exactly is "running roughshod"? ... What country have I run?... And where have I run her to?

  • Someone once said that the problem with political jokes is they get elected. How true

  • "We help keep these dictator creeps in power." - Ever wondered what are the alternatives ? Do some research & find out. Better make peace with a far lesser evil than hand power & most of the world's oil reserves to anti western religious fanaticism of the fanatical kind any day...

  • My point is this - to what degree are we willing to endorse/exploit human misery abroad in order to sustain the freedom we enjoy here? Is our ideal Republic only possible if we can secure some cheap benefit from millions around the world who are not so lucky? Is freedom then only a mirage, completely un-natural, and only available to a small portion of humanity?

  • Africa in ailing because farmers rely on the west will save them from a drought. No incentives to act self responsibly. Helping the poor is ensuring their poverty. Welfare is addictive. The state must help me help myself. Self responsibly to the rescue.

  • So you're saying African farmers should take responsibility for themselves and make rain? Look, shit happens. If I wasn't paying these illegal income taxes, I would be more than happy to crank off more dollars to African relief efforts on a private basis. Like I said, entitlement is the symptom, not the cause. It's all about the money. So strange that I started studying this stuff a couple years ago when all was rosy and now I'm watching the truth of what I learned unfold. Google Money Masters.

  • Clinton & the Dems created Freddy & Mack in order to force banks to loan money to the poor. Under-qualified borrowed irresponsibly hence the mortgage debacle. Under Bush, entitlements broke all records. Shame. Plenty of blame to all. Both parties be damned for self interets

  • Big banking obviously lobbied on behalf of what they got. If I am a bank with a trillion in assets and the gov't "forced" me to make bad loans, I would have more than enough resources, dollars, and lawyers to take my case to the Supreme Court. Rampant greed on the part of bankers, brokers, lenders made these bad loans happen. Do you think most schlepps can comprehend the math involved in mortgages? They were sold these mortgages by shifty used car salesmen who DID know the math and didn't care.

  • Before I signed my a mortgage papers, I consulted a lawyer, calculated the payments, asked tough questions & demanded answers. Only than I committed myself to a loan I could afford. Stupidity & lack of self responsibility should not be rewarded by my tax money

  • If you commit yourself to a huge loan without asserting whether you can meet the payments or not than do not cross the street without parental supervision and do not expect me to bail you out anytime soon. Period. End of story !

  • Historically, it had always been the case that when you go to the bank for a loan, they look down their noses at you and you pray that you somehow qualify a mortgage. The onus was traditionally placed on the shoulders of the lender regarding your potential qualification. They were the experts, right? So far, we've not bailed out the mortgage holders - only the banks that got greedy and blew it! Surprise surprise!

  • I worked hard, saved money for a down payment & maintained good credit before applying for a loan I knew I could afford. The bank approved my loan at a fixed rate. No surprises & no speculations on my side. Simple as that. Self responsibility. You don't have to bail me out.

  • Back a few years, a mortgage broker friend of mine laughed that he was definitely going to hell for bamboozling so many naive people into bad loans. You or I may know how to do our homework, but people with less bucks and education, on the math side, were so used to banks saying "no", they trusted the brokers to know what they were talking about. After all, they are the experts. Whether or not people should be bailed out is another question. So far, only the banks get bailed out. Surprised?

  • I do not want to reward or bail out naivete, stupidity or ignorance with my tax money. if you commit yourself to a Jumbo loan that is well beyond your means... well, enjoy but bear the consequences. Uncle Sam is a nanny nor your baby sitter

  • Self responsibility to the rescue

  • America became a super power before FDR's social security. Migrants came with nothing. The country gave them nothing and they created the world's only super power. Self reliance, hard work, ingenuity. No sense of entitlement. The only entitlement was a shot at the emerging American dream

  • FDR's New Deal brought temporary relief. Once a bridge was built the worker lost his job. Effective assistance is the promotion of productivity not buying. Produce in order to afford. FDR's entitlements prolonged The Depression for over 10 years. Some say that only WW-2 ended it.

  • Real Politick- dirty business. Sadam kept Iran in check. Corrupt Saudi royals keep oil reserves in Western friendly hands. Syrian dictator- far better than opposing Muslim Brothers party. Egypt's Mubarak is a pro Western dictator. Egyptian Muslim Brothers party-fanaticism redefined

  • The Saudis hate the U.S in order to keep domestic strife in check.%70 unemployment kept at bay by radical Imams preaching hatred to the West in order to deflect blamer from internal corruption. All living U.S presidents be damned for not ordering an Energy "Manhattan project" like consortium

  • Who cheats or breaks promises more often is silly. My kindergarten days are over & I haven't met a politician I could trust buying me a chewing gum yet. Conservatism vs Liberalism, Socialism vs Capitalism. Now you're talking. A pleasant exchange of ideas to the rescue. Friends?

  • The essence of a typical politician brings vomit to my senses. Republicans & Democrats. Broken promises, pork barrels, corruption, zero ethics, double crossing & Black Tie chicken dinners. Lots & lots of Black Tie chicken dinners to collects funds for re-election & kiss lobbyist's behinds. Yikes...

  • Please don't tell the Republicans they are ideologically bankrupt. This will just incite them to lower the tax on intellectual property.

  • Problem is that politics is too serious a matter to be left for politicians. Statesmen are hard to come by and even than, sincere diplomacy is no more possible than walking on water. Diplomacy is after all: war by other means. Left Right is silly. Right & wrong...now you make sense !

  • I agree that the answers are not political. But a real statesman, devoid of blinding ideology or greed, can see to a lot of solutions.

  • I'm a conservative without an intellectual deficiency nor a condescending attitude toward Liberals. All politicians are self serving. Pres Clinton succeeded when his ultra liberal agenda was tamed by a Republican Congress. A melting pot of ideas leading to the center of the political spectrum

  • Truth wrapped in satire is not condescension. Please don't play the victim role after running roughshod for 15 years and running this country into the ground.

  • Turk, your to fucking stupid to have an educated opinion...quit trying so hard, its all in vein.

    BTW, Quit sounding so fucking goofy when you talk

  • The moonbats called bush a nazi...no outrage

    This cartoonist has won 3 Pulitzer prizes and Sharpton doesn't have an ethical bone in his body

  • Argentina did this in 1950s there economy is basketcase. Nationalization will not work in America because it will turn bank into politcal favor factory. Banks need to fail at this point. There are thousands of other banks that did not leverage themsheves can easily fill the void of the bigger banks.

  • Fascism is banning free press, political opposition, direct power to the individual, criticism & opposing ideologies while. promoting obedience at all cost. Where are the similarities to the Bush doctrine? Explain

  • Wrong. You're only describing the bitter results of a strong fascist state. Your answer could just as easily describe Soviet Union Communism.

    Fascism is basically defined as government in cahoots with big business interests to the detriment of the individual. We are definitely on our way there. Why do you think the banks are getting all this free money from you and me, the taxpayers? Why don't they just send all the stimulus money to us? We'll put most of it back in banks ourselves. Fascism.

  • "Typical uneducated American cowboy" - Although I'm not an American & definitely not clueless, i forgive your rudeness wholeheartedly. False assertions such as this speaks volumes of the misleading way with which you reach your far fetched & somewhat deluded conclusions. Not good

  • "typical uneducated american cowboy" was not an assertion, only a guess. My conclusions are only based on evidence gathered. To be fair, I try to base my heaviest conclusions on information from conservatives, not lefties. When, during a news conference, big Republican Tom Ridge says he didn't sign off on many of terror alerts, and then, the next day, a Cessna flies into DC airspace to steal the headlines.. any thinking human can smell some bullshit going on.

  • Your vindictive conclusions regarding my whereabouts & adherence to cows speaks volumes about your hastened analysis. Don't rush to unverified conclusions. Don't anoint your intellect as supreme. That's pure condescension. Exchanging thought can be pleasant & non derogatory

  • No question that Carl Rove is the quintessential Anti Christ. Source of all evil. In fact i have proof that he & Bush are directly responsible for the Indonesian Tsunami & male pattern baldness. Don't laugh. I'm serious !

  • The Saudis alone could have alleviated Arab poverty by simply selling a few royal yachts. %70 unemployment is Saudi Arabia-source of intense fanaticism. The Saudi princes buy time buy sponsoring "Charity Foundations" world wide. Arab corruption is causing religious fanaticism

  • Now you're getting somewhere. And did you know that Reagan promised the Saud family protection from all threats, INTERNAL as well as external? They don't hate us for our freedom.

  • Problem is that politics is too serious a matter to be left for politicians. Statesmen are hard to come by and even than, sincere diplomacy is no more possible than walking on water. Diplomacy is after all: war by other means. Left Right is silly. Right & wrong...now you start to make sense !

  • U.S doesn't create religious fanaticism. Despair,poverty,no future & anger drive millions to anti western religious indoctrination. Blame the U.S for all evil. The best scapegoating is to avoid blaming oneself. Vent your anger elsewhere not your corrupt dictator.

  • Despair, poverty, etc...yes. But who can deny that we meddle in the middle east for our own interests? We help keep these dictator creeps in power.

  • Russia, Europe & China meddle too. BIG TIME. When congress issues an embargo, other global culprits rush to fill the void. Better U.S than China. Stop self beheading your own country. Enough with self propelled & inflicted guilt complex. The globe has some very dangerous neighberhoods

  • Endless Tit for Tat regarding murky political swamps is the ultimate exercise in futility. Bush Shmush, Obama Lama, Pelosi Shmelosi... What a waste of time. Better drink tea with the mrs. Never shake a politician's hand if you wish to avoid warts !

  • Read the definition of Fascism before declaring my assertions as erroneous. It has nothing to do with big business. What on earth are U.S bailed out banks have to do with anything? I agree %100 that the U.S is entering a disastrous aura of Socialism. I could not have agree more !

  • Socialism/communism can only take foot when rampant greed gives capitalism a bad name.

  • European Socialism is dead in the water and the rise of Islam in Europe is a death sentence. True Conservatism in the U.S will self correct & rebound. A birth of new means of governance. An augmented form of Capitalism.

  • I would love to see it. But I never hear anyone talking about the REAL villains in this game. International big banking. Hannity, Rush, Beck...none of these neo-clowns dare to whisper against the bigger forces. Go to google video and look for "money masters", a three-hour doc that shows in scary detail what we're facing today and what the founding fathers thought about it. The founding fathers had the idea of America so perfectly nailed..old Euro banking finally got its way in 1913.

  • The poor in America remain poor when living in Hud projects. Receiving financial aid per child is an incentive to give multiple births in your early twenties. Hence fatherless kids, poverty and crime. Self responsibility can be obtained when Uncle Sam stops rewarding lack of personal responsibility

  • I love how this video assumes the President controls the economy. The Senate has just as much power, if not more. And the economy was doing great up until the Democrats controlled it.

    Where is your video blaming Barney Frank? I thought you looked for wrong and right on both sides?

  • Typical uneducated American cowboy commenting in a way that proves they're clueless. The economy looked like it was doing great because it was based on economical fantasy.

  • Attempts to explode N.Y tunnels apprehended in advance by U.S intelligence? "Fake war"? Water boarding Khalid Sheikh Mohammed preempted attempts to bring down sky scrapers in L.A. 200 dead Australians in bali. Madrid trains, London Underground, 15 U.S airliners etc. You are hopelessly naive !

  • Amtrak reps I talked to here in DC tried to get security funding for NY tunnels for YEARS after 9/11 and got nothing. Why? Because Amtrak is known as a Democrat pet project. If terror was so real, this would not have happened.

    Bush administration REDUCED New York City homeland security funding while boosting funding to states like South Carolina?? All based on who voted for Bush. If terror was so real, this would not have happened.

    If it's so real, why the fake terror alerts?

  • The president of the U.S is sworn to uphold the constitution for live people, not those identified by means of DNA. Bush was criticized for not preventing 9/11. He was equally vilified for trying to prevent the next one. Luckily he stood his grounds hence kept U.S safe.

  • Actually, I was just using the same logic that the man in the video was.

    But you wouldn't dare criticize a liberal, would you?

  • Lincoln must have been delusional when he suspended Habias Corpus to save the Union. Early forms of Fascistic inclinations from America's most revered icon. Who knew? Compromising sacred values for the mere sake of survival. What an absurd & morally bankrupt idea. Shame !

  • You prove my point you are a ultra-nationalist fascist pig that is ignorant the the many offenses of the US government on the world and their own citizens. Welcome to the Hitler Youth. Just because we are the most powerful nation in the world doesn't mean we are always right and that we are immune to persecution under international law and that our leaders should be immune to our national laws even though they are criminals.

  • You are rude, crude & lack basic manners. Have a nice day

  • You probably also believe that the ACLU is a terrorist organization because they dare to stand up to the government on behalf of the people. Fascist ideology is convenient and comfortable because you don't have to question anything and don't have to deal with the extensive problems in this country. Have fun living in blissful ignorance.

  • What happened to Lincoln? Give me freedom or give me death...

  • In order to protect freedom he had to temporarily compromise his values (Habias Corpus). Eventually freedom & Democracy prevailed. Times of war require urgent means to protect sacred values. Lincoln understood that.

  • This fake war against terrorism will never end, so suspending habias corpus is NOT permitted. You're talking about Lincoln? Much more desparate times. He wasn't dealing with a fake fear war, he was dealing with a real CIVIL WAR. Don't trust ANY government official who says they're suspending habias corpus for our own good. They're lying. it's a power grab. Without habias corpus, there is NO AMERICA. All of the other rights we enjoy start with habias corpus. The gov't is NOT allowed to eff with u

  • Pakistan, a nuclear Muslim country on the verge of total collapse. (Ask CIA chiefs). "Fake war fears"? Are you privy to daily CIA reports given to the president regarding "Clear & Present Danger"? Any clue as to foiled attempts to smuggle a dirty bomb to render N.Y useless for 50 years?

  • This whole war on terror illusion has spawned a HUGE new bloated government bureaucracy which, as all bloated govt does, seeks only its own perpetuation. Yes, I call fake terror alerts FAKE WAR FEARS. Google "tom ridge terror alerts"

    it's the duty of the CIA and other agencies to investigate and thwart terrorists. But they are NOT permitted to infringe on our Constitution of Bill of Rights in order to do so. Sorry, wussy.

  • CIA can not protect your kids en route to a shopping mall without eavesdropping on terrorist chatter. Chop a male membrane and expect impotency. Media exposure of Bin Laden's cell phone interception caused him to avoid using it. Terrific. Great. Bravo. Wow. Hi hip hooray!

  • %20 of all Muslims are religiously indoctrinated anti west loons who revere 73 virgins brand of heavenly martyrdom. They don't wear uniforms & hide in our midst. Fear tactics? You must be in self denial... better yet a practicing ostrich. Since when are you privy to CIA daily reports?Explain
