Columbus Townhall - Tea Party 15-MARCH-2009

[KRoseVideo]

You would be shocked Mr. RedWingAbner by the Net Worth of the people in that TEA Party. Actually, there are lots of TEA Party people who have diligently paid off their homes, started their businesses and saved their own money for retirement. We are the people that the School teachers think should raise our taxes in order to pay their golden Cadillac Pensions. We disagree.

[RedWingAbner]

So, who was shopping at Wal-Mart that day with you guys occupied here?

[rohawaha]

We had a good turn out in florida,

HEY Talent245 Yea where the hell were you , Put up Shut Up !!!!!

[potentiallywasted]

I think we had more people in Zanesville.

[talent245]

Where is the black fokes why is it all white o ya figures!!!!

[refused]

Nice!

[PsionNinja]

Stop the war on business???

How about stopping the war on the middle-class workers??

Stop totting up to the corporate overlords and bowing to their every demand and whim to stomp out the will of the worker.

Oh that's right, screw workers and screw workers rights...

[RamingtonStall]

I am a huge fan of Worker's Rights, just not of Union Rights to prevent the Workers from having a VOTE on whether they want to form unions or not.

If Corporations were all run as effectively and efficiently as our Government Schools, then we would not have the Manufacturing jobs that we still have left in this country.

I, like many of the people in our marches, am the owner of a small business that is being killed by the Obama war on Small Business. The Obama Depression is killing our 401-K's

[PsionNinja]

The Obama depression?? Hahahahaha!!!!! Oh yea, makes sense, it's only been 60 days in and he somehow caused the collapse of the unregulated banks and insurance companies within the 60 DAYS of his administration.

Wow....I've heard some whoppers in my time, but wow, blaming this eCONomic train-wreck on the new guy is just crass.

As far as Unions go, the free choice act will still have the option to have a secret ballot election if the WORKERS want. It's about making it EASIER to form unions...

[42tealime]

Hey, most of business is middle class workers! Small business is the largest employer in this country.

[PsionNinja]

Hey, how about supporting the workers then instead of falling for the corporate sponsored propaganda to minimize workers pay and rights???

I'm sure this comment will get a bunch of 'poor comment' reviews anyway-

[42tealime]

I have a small business. This year business was down, I paid my bills, my taxes, and my employees, but not me. I've lived off savings for over a year. I call that supporting the workers, what do you call it?

[PsionNinja]

Then you are one of the few employers acting with some real compassion. You are a rare breed.

Good on you :)

[42tealime]

How is there a war on middle class workers? Please explain. If you stand next to a fat man and you're thin do you accuse him of eating all your food???

[PsionNinja]

Lets see, the stagnant wages for employees for the past 30 years while big businesses profits increase exponentially.

The cost of living has also gone up making it harder for middle-class families to maintain a quality lifestyle while those wages stay put.

Not to even mention the rising cost of healthcare by the pharmaceutical rackets and and insurance companies.

It's those things that have been crippling the middle-class since the late 90's.

[RamingtonStall]

Just wait until Obama agrees to a Cap-&-Trade Scheme to solve the Global Warming Hoax. Then you will see the Workers really scream as we are forced to build factories in China and India and then forced to pay a Carbon Fine when we import the products that we used to make here.

Check out the UN proposal for Cap-&-Trade. you are going to love it.

[PsionNinja]

Hoax?? You think those are scientists on Fox news? Those are actors and actresses, not anchors or reporters. They are fake, Fox news is fake, and so are their claims that global warming is a hoax.

Sorry dude, you've been lied too.

As far as building factories in other countries like china, the US companies are already doing that.

Apparently labor in Mexico is too expensive and cuts into their multi-multi-Billion dollar a year profits while the average american workers wages have stayed low..

[42tealime]

Bus. profits have been declining. Costco operates on 5%, oil profits % aresmaller than in the past, auto profits per car are smaller. Those involved in hedge funds and the subprime mortgages reaped big rewards but most business stuggles with more gov regulation, overseas & internet competition,etc.

Tort reform would help to reign in health care costs. Gov. intervention in insurance increases cost. In our state we can't get competitive bids from out of state insurers.

[RamingtonStall]

The presence or the Absence of Black people in the Tea Party Video's is irrelevant. Are you suggesting that we get permission from black people to protest the profligate spending being done by this Democrat President and his Democrat Congress?

Try reading Thomas Sowell or Walter Williams or Michael Steele or Ken Blackwell if you want a Black Person to support the marcher's position.

Many Black people are paying their own mortgages and object to Congress making them pay someone else's.

[chernmax]

LOL, Funny how most of the Tea party video's around the Nation on YouTube all lack one thing? Black People!!!

[ConservativeCavalry]

Hey Columbus, Cincinnati had thousands attend their event. Now we have a benchmark for our next event. Glenn Beck is just discussing it right now and he is planting the seeds for a "Clean Sweep" Campaign. Dem or Rep, we need to throw the bums out. It is time to drain the swamp. Best slogan I have seen? "What Would Our Founding Fathers Do?" WWOFFD.

[ldogg1699]

keep up the good work

[RamingtonStall]

I agree. Thank you, Conservative Calvalry, for the expansion of my too short list of groups represented. I rather suspect that most of the attendees support the 9-12 Principals and Values that Glen Beck is asking the Country to embrace. The way we felt on 9-12-2001 as we all came together against the Terrorists who had just attacked us.

[ConservativeCavalry]

The Group of individuals on the film are Democrats, Independents, Libertarians, Republicans, Conservatives and Liberals. People from the Columbus Glenn Beck We Surround Them Group, Columbus Townhall and Ohio Freedom Coalition. Many support Glenn Becks 12/9 Principals and Values, and they all love America and want to preserve our greatness for future generations.
