  • Your show is a joke...

  • Whats wrong with Republicans wanting the money Obama is forcing them to spend. Its already happening, why not get in on the action? Oh no, the republicans just have to sit back and watch as their hard earn money is spent by evil, liberal, coonies and their money-loving friends.

  • Shirley Sherrod?

  • these guys look like they like to suck a lot of cock

  • Republican don't want to seen taking the money but they will shit like bitches on the rag.

  • Republicans asking for stimulus money?

    Isn't that the liberals role?

  • isn't this stimulus package just another way of "redistributing the wealth"? i mean, where is this money coming from exactly??

  • SO!

  • "Hey Obama! We need some of that "socialist" money to do what we're known for - BLOWING UP THINGS THAT ARE NO THREAT TO THE U.S." Fuck'em. Once again those worthless, desperate, coming out the woodwork Right wing lobbyists trying to make a dollar. With all of that oil they have, don't give them ignorant ass Bush lovers a dime!!

  • If Obama actually has the balls to NOT give it to them watch how Fox noise and the rest of those desperate Righties turn it into "Obama is not supporting science or jobs??!!"..etc

  • Obama should go down to Texas with a huge publicity check and also display how much they were against the spending in the first place.

  • lol

  • In Fact....here it is...Texas should have no say in AMERICAN politics until they vote their Governor out of office.

  • fact: you should have no say in AMERICAN politics until you know what your talking about.

  • Hey Texas...the payoff that started the massive spending was the one

    Bush promised gave as a "tax cut"... "wisely" my freakin ass.

    Here's an idea. Get rid of your seccionist anti american god damn governor out of office and maybe we can listen to your bullshit. Until then, we would be better off without texas. Take Bush, take the Cowboys and be your own country. thats what you want. Thats what the rest of the US Wants. Thats what Mexico wants. Do it.

  • lol we'll take our oil, and our agricultural/industrial output with us.

  • republican being hypocrites,

    NO WAY

    dont give them a dime

  • If I was Obama I would give it to them but first they would have to suck my dick

  • P.S. Im wondering can I get a personal stimulus check? 1billion will do. :D

  • I thought this would because I don't care for the RNC but it ws painful watching these 2 quacks babbling, meandering comments. These two commentators remind me of Archie and Dingbat arguing in the kitchen.

  • Oh so NOW they want the stimulus money. Before, they wouldn't give Obama the time of day. LOL!!!

  • Exactly lmaoo I tell you man..

  • Hey asshole, they wisely voted against the bill because it is just a massive waste of money, and a payoff to everyone who helped get Obama elected, but now that it has been passed, and we have to pay for it, you're dammned right we want our fair share of it. If Texas can be excluded from paying for this thing, we wouldn't take a dime. I'd take that deal any day.

  • LOL!!! @ any "remaining" members of the GOP.

  • Fucking idiots, just because Republicans didn't vote for the stimulus bill, didn't mean that they rejected every single proposal that was in the bill. Republicans voted against it because the bill was filled with pork. It had over 9,000 earmarks in it.

    Giving NASA the needed funds to operate is not "pork."

  • NASA operating funds in the stimulas? These Turks sure do not make sense!

  • Republicans are fucking idots. Move NASA to a state that needs it and watch the Republicans cry. HA HA.

  • here is the flaw with TYT argument. they were against the legislation but now want the money ... well, if their money is being taken from them, of course they're going to do what they can to get it back. of course the money will make a difference, just because they didn't believe this was the best way to spend it (as defined in the stimulus package) doesn't mean they don't need to have access to it now

  • Republiklans HATE latinos, asians, blacks, jews, arabs, women, homosexuals, unwed mothers, amber laws, animal protection laws and earth.

  • I wonder what social program I'm subsidizing you with. I'm guessing you live in your parents' basement, the white t-shirt you wear every day is saturated in sweat, covered in cheeto crumbs and other mystery fluids. You have 12 WoW accounts. You're about 275lbs, and bathe once a week in your own filth. You're either unemployed or you work a min-wage job. Maybe at a grocery store deli, but they keep you in the back room because people get physically ill when they see you.

  • Why does this surprise anyone? When health care reform is passed, anyone want to bet on how many conservatard governors refuse the deal? (they are talking about an opt out clause). I'm guessing zero, because that would be a) stupid, and b) political suicide. Why don't they just simplify their party platform and change it to "We are against anything the Democrats are for, regardless of what our constituents want" That's pretty much their stand on every issue since Nov 09

  • With the proposed expansion of medicaid (because it's a federal-state program), some states might have no choice but to consider ways to opt out of parts (or all) of the legislation because of existing financial troubles. As Medicaid already consumes large portions of state budgets, any expansion could really put those states over the edge. States pick up a % of medicaid payments, and as it is an unfunded mandate (only the federal revenue is accounted for in the bill) could lead to budget probs.

  • Once again typical republicans showing just how stupid they are.

  • C is for cookie, and that's good enough for me

  • What a bunch of idiots. The federal gov taxes Texas citizens then makes them beg for the money back after Washington spent a great deal of it just in the collection and tracking of the money! This is the point everyone misses. States wouldn't need money from the fed if they could tax the citizens what the federal gov does. Citizens are too poor by the time the fed gov gets done with them. Imagine if TX could take 30%+ off all their citizens money and businesses.

  • christo930

    So, you really don't object to taxation, or federal projects like NASA, or even helping poorer people per se.

    Careful, you might not be a republican..

  • I am not a republican, at least not a modern republican. I don't object to social safety nets, or the concept of NASA, but I am sick of NASA. Nasa has been in low earth orbit for about 35 years. Lockheed Martin designed an excellent Mars program that would have resulted in a permanent presence on Mars cheaper than even a moon mission. However, every pet tech at NASA had to be used and NASA created this impossible scenario and now Mars is off the table. NASA sucks.

  • there is a plan already being implemented to set up a permanent presence on mars. it will be around 2025 i think, been a while since i checked up on it though. as far as i know, it's still going ahead, they have developed special technology and shuttles that will set up a research outpost that will have hydroponics and synthesise air from frozen water or something along those lines. just google "mars mission" and look into it.

  • These plans I speak of would have had human presence on Mars in the very early 2000's. The NASA plan is complicated and expensive, the LM plan was far more simple and far less money. No moon bases and crazy docking plans. Then there is the total failure of the Shuttle program. What, 1/3 of the shuttles crashed, low earth orbit, no GOALS... NASA inspired the children of the world to grow up and think big, be a physicist... Now, after 35 years of LEO, stagnation! No inspired children, bold sci-fi

  • why NASA? the world is flat.

    & no natural history museums either since those dinosaurs are a fake too!

  • Republicans just want NASA developing a shuttle that'll take all their jesus-freak maggots to see jeebus in the sky.

    America's only real enemies are Republicans.

  • this guy is hot keep him around.

  • God hates fags.

  • Palin = dumd ass + Michelle Bachman = crazy delusional idiot × MrTaddy5000 = waste of good sperm and a egg = I'm cool with my tax dollars being spent on abortion so that we don't have to hear from these sort of idiots

  • i love bachman and palin,palin/bachman 2012,anyone but obama,

  • MrTaddy5000....your love for Palin and Bachman just proved your ignorance. Most 2nd graders are smarter than both Palin and Bachman. Heck most 2nd graders are smarter than you...you are probably some old fart that afraid of color/diversity

  • Haha, you're ignorant, dude.

    What do you hate so much about Obama?

  • i'm okay if they're fond of each other,

    but I sure wouldn't want either of them to have the codes

  • to hate fags, god would first have to exist...

  • on the toilet i sit,

    butt cheeks flexin'

    i just gave birth to another texan

  • Women are never going to go back to being forced to have their rapist's bastard offspring, and anyone who thinks otherwise is delsional.

    As for late-term abortions, ussually what happens is that a woman has a miscarriage in her third-term, and her body can't expell it.

    Late-term abortions are nessisary to remove the corpse.

    There have been many cases of women in exactly this situation, being turned away from hospitals, while the thing rots inside of them.

    Nevermind that it's already dead.

  • from one daughter of eire to another,

    you speak for many, some without voices, keep yellin' girl!

  • Go Rabih maith agat ("thank you"),

    TerryEFV2.

    Nothing short of death itself could shut me up for good.

    And if some jackass ever gives you trouble, just tell them "Fein focan!" ("Fuck yourself!") or "Agus do focan clab!" ("shut the fuck up!").

    ;)

  • Sinn,

    Nobody gives me trouble. I've just been yelling longer and am happy to share the torch with a firebrand like you!

    "Scairt !" (Shout !)

  • Heh.

    You should see me when some piosa dar cac ("piece of shit") calls our people drunks.

    Then the claws REALY come off.

  • Sinn,

    just keep 'em sharp!

  • Always, Terry.

    As they say about us redheads, "fire in the hair, fire in the heart".

    And I always carry at least one weapon with me whenever I go out.

    ...not counting the baseball bat that I keep in my backseat. ;)

  • Sinn,

    Fire we own, but most are just predisposed to judge!

    It is your "ceart' (riightful) indignation that is your banner!

    How dare anyone presume to judge the feelings of another?

    Empathy - Perhaps.

    Judgement - A mile in my shoes!

  • Obama lost the olympic bid.

  • Who cares about the olympics, We have more things to straighten out after the Bush years

  • it's amazing how the zombies starts bashing NASA, in defense of their precious repuglican politicians. LMAO.

    err u guys are missing the punchline here :)

  • it is clear that the republicans are shifting around the the fitting history passages, to make surebeforehand what lines are going to find their way into the history books, or even wiki.

  • Republicans are a danger to Americans.

    3,000 dead Americans on 9/11.

    45,000 dead Americans every year from lack of health care.

    Stretch that record out over the long run and that adds up to some serious carnage in terms of dead Americans.

    GOP is more dangerous to American life than the Taliban/Al qaeda combined.

  • And how many abortions are done because of liberal policies?MILLIONS,How many more gays are spreading aids from liberal policies,THOUSANDS.You talk about conservatives,please.

  • Millions? Seriously do some stat checking then use the actual stats to defend your opinion. .

  • So how long have you been into dick?

  • I never was a big fan of cheney,even though bush was ok.

  • any credibility you may have once had=GONE.

  • And still no validation of your claim.

    1972 Republican president Nixon

    there have been plenty of years since Roe V Wade where conservatives controlled government and in all those years abortion was still legal.

    If you followed the court case Roe V Wade you would find that abortion is constitutional and as a constitutional right you have to throw out the constitution and the bill of rights to throw out abortion.

  • Soooo wrong

  • and how many straights are getting divorced right now.....

    billions

  • The repubs had complete power in the house senate and pres. Why didn't they stop abortions, Because they have been running on the abortion for 30 years people like you keep voting for them. Wisen up they arent going to kill the golden goose that gets them elected every time, If they did they would never be elected again because that is all they have to run on

  • Unfortunately the supreme court ruled,but the republicans did stop some partial birth abortions.When we get the house and senate back because of obamas failures,we will be in charge again and we maybe able to do something more for the unborn.

  • How many abortions were done when Bush and The Repubs run the country?Or was there none until the Repubs get there asses handed to them in the last election? And ass far as Repubs getting back the control, Thats like the pile of catshit dreaming that someone will kick some dirt on it

  • Yes But the repubs had all the power for 6 years of Dubya, and they did nothing but start wars and waste alot of money, And they even had the supreme court, they are the ones that made him president, and they still killed babies, plus women children and soldiers,, And they didn't want to give kids health care, So do they even have any morals at all?

  • We republicans cant control the supreme court like we wish to,sadly I must admit that,but hopefully in 2012 we might have a chance.But we can prevent the queers from getting married in some states.

  • attention, dumbass.

    if you want anyone to listen to you, you might want to stop calling gays "queers."

  • They are queer and fags too.

  • What is worse a gay? Or a republican that is gay? Or a republican priest that is gay? Or republican senator that is gay? Or are they just people like everyone else?

  • MrTaddy5000....I'm not calling you a christians, but most christians are hypocrites. I thought GOD was supposed to love all people, even gay people. Shame on you for degrading gay people. Especially gays that's in the military that's fighting for you....

  • You didn't stop Larry Craig from getting married.

  • he married a woman.thats ok.

  • But he is married and he is gay, Right

  • tabby=cog

  • Absolutely. And these dumb ass Right wingers who call themselves Constitutionalists keep voting these Neo-cons into office thinking abortion will become illegal when the 1st amendment clearly denies the Congress or the President to do so. "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion"...those people are fu**ing delusional. No wonder why the least educated states are red. All the centrists, progressive Democrats and Conservative Liberals need to move North. lol

  • was this a holocaust for us Americans????

  • Tell it like it is, sonyavsystem.

    Keep on preaching the truth, and there will be millions of us right behind you to support you.

    We human rights activists all over the net may not ever see eachother face to face, but that doesn't matter.

    We are there for eachother.

    If someone tell you to be quiet, shout even louder.

  • hey go fuck yourself.

  • NASA is a Socialist run program.

  • Nice illogical rhetoric there.

  • F*ck comparing Obama to Hilter, only a bonehead would do such a thing. This subject is about the hypocritical Republican Party. Stick to the damn subject, Ass-wipe!

  • Standard Repigneocunt hypocrisy.

  • Rather give money to NASA then the banks ran by third graders...

  • Absolutely ... NASA should get 3 Billion dollars ... and a new location ... I'm thinking New York State.

  • Agreed - or California. Then Texas can fuck off and secede.

  • Yeah, I find it ironic that a hallmark of American science is in the one state that completely rejects it. :(

  • I say fuck Texas, they're the epicenter of the southern states and religius extremeists, they're preaching succession and have done so in the past. Take NASA out and they haven't done a shit of good for anyone.

  • Let's give all our money to NASA so we can go to fucking Mars and I can play out my childhood fantasies of living in space.

    I'm not being sarcastic.

  • sure, give NASA the money, after they cooperate and give us a good health care reform bill, and keep their mouths shut. if we hear any more bull about death panels and sex clinics, we take the money back

  • this is not a situation for politics and mud slinging, we need this money for our states (after the government stole it from us in the first place) so it would only further prove that this is a nazi regime if they are willing to let millions of citizens starve to death in order to strengthen their political position, hitler did it, stalin did it, and now obama is too go figure

  • obama is as much like hitler as the easter bunny is to jeffrey dalmer......nice try.

    making shit up does not make it true. the real world ain't like church.

  • I say shut up, Canadian. Makes no sense

  • go burn a book fascist

  • obama doesn't have the balls hitler had, not that i am defending hitler....

  • Hitler was a dictator meaning he didn't care about what the will of his people or what they wanted not to mention he didn't have a House Of Reps. to depend on votes for.....and lobbyist. The list goes on. You're comparing apples and oranges. FAIL

  • not giving money to NASA makes people starve?

  • They need the money so they use NASA to get it

  • Govenor Perry also just turned down an apeal from a prisoner that is going to be shown to be inocent,making him the first govenor to put to death an innocent man! Why because it was better for him to do so politically! This guy is Texas's version of Mark Sanford! A real piece of work! If he secceeds I hope he takes Palin, Sanford and all the other half educated rejects from deliverance with him!

  • Ofcoooooooooooooooourse they want the money. Republicans politicians and for that matter some democrats are the biggest hypocrites around

  • hahahaohwow.jpg

    I think you're all so lost in this Left-Right trance than you have no idea whats happening.

  • I would move NASA out of Texas. I'm sure other states would love to have them.

  • Fellow Tubelers,

    There are a few, repeat few Texans that are immune from the stupidity that is Texas politics.

    I am a citizen, and for me, this is embarrassing, totally! I do not do politics, though I make a political statement: VOTE.

    I email my elected representatives, and ask questions; e.g. If we secede, how will we make up the money? Is Texas going to have pay-per-view lynchings? Are we going to carry the whites, since the roads will not be useful?

    No answers.

    It be it.

  • Fuck Texas.

  • The rule should be, if you voted against the stimulus money, you can't have any.

  • I thought Texas wanted to secede from the US... Fuck 'em, let 'em secede...

  • Forget about letting them secede, let's just kick them out.

  • Well if they dont get some of the printed money, then their constituents will be paying back the debt and receive no benefit from the debt. So they pretty much have to. It does not matter we will all be screwed!

  • Oh hi Bill O'Reilly.

  • you must be a glenn beck fan.

  • If it goes to NASA I'm for it. What's weird to me is that Republicans want that money to go to NASA. That seems a little too Scientific. I would think they might want it for building churches and printing surpluses of Bibles.

  • WhiteIGNITERS,

    You MUST be pulling a joke. Nobody is as fucking stupid as you appear.

  • You are one deluded piece of shit... Do you take meds ?!?!

  • My only concern is whether or not the Texans were asking for the stimulus money to go to NASA in general, or just to Texas. Manned Space Travel is actually a necessity for our civilization, so money going to it is a good thing. (After all, who else would repair GPS and other satellites.) If the Texans were against bailing out non-competing companies and pro-Nasa when first voting against the stimulus, then I would agree with them. Otherwise, they're hypocrites.

  • I don't think the objections were anywhere near that nuanced ;)

  • If they get the money Fox noise will say it's more spending. If they don't get the money Fox noise will say he's not trying to create jobs. They will blindly disagree on everything Obama does. Republicans= Antagonistic lobbyists with no plan or solution besides scaring sheep away from anything that may threaten their colleagues investments.

  • That pretty much sums up the opposition strategy.

  • If Obama could walk on water,Fox would say he can't swim

  • haha

  • LoL Obama should say "Suck it". Beg you hypocrites beg!

  • So it is safe to assume that all the noise the Republicans were making against the stimulus was just grandstanding then?

  • What a bunch of hypocrites!! They were in favor of bailing out the banks and then they dont want the money, because a democrat is promoting it.

  • Die in a fire Texas

  • Can anyone be surprised by the hypocracy of the Republican Party? Maybe they should ask Mexico for aid?

  • The republicans just want to put a giant banner of Jesus on the moon.

  • Before of after they edited the bible?

  • They're busy editing out all the non-conservative views out of the bible. That will probably take a while. So, Jesus will be on the moon around 2020

  • This isn't really hypocrisy, merely politics. The GOP voted against the Stimulus bill, knowing full well it was going to pass. It was merely playing to the base - everybody does it. Give Texas the NASA money!

  • Whoops! Yes, it really is hypocrisy. Thanks, Mr. Merriam! Thanks, Mr. Webster!

    hypocrisy \hi-ˈpä-krə-sē also hī-\ : 1 : a feigning to be what one is not or to believe what one does not

  • I think Obama should make them beg first. Or better yet, Obama should do it "What would you do for a Klondike Bar?" style.

  • Or just play video of them adamantly refusing the money, then saying "You aren't getting a penny until you explain that *clearly*."

  • Screw Texas... move Nasa someplace better.

  • where else can they fire rockets and not hit anything important?

  • LMFAO You do make a valid point.

  • 3 billion for nasa! sheesh i need a 3000 state grant for college

    stop wasting money... :(

  • with all the spin offs from NASA give them more, but wait it was the Reaganites that killed financial aide, get a loan like the repugs want you to, sad that people with low income cant get financial aide, because of REPUGS, and libertarians

  • Cenk's argument is a non sequitur. One can easily argue that the govt shouldn't have intervened and then, if the govt intervenes anyway, ask to benefit from the funding. There's no contradiction. If that organization shouldn't have gotten money but did anyway, then I want a share too. It's only fair.

  • Pointing out hypocrisy does not constitute a non-sequitur. And even if it was, it doesn't really matter, since Cenk's point would still stand as correct.

  • It's a non sequitur because Cenk has veered off into a new territory that is not necessarily relevant to the GOP's original position. It's not logically inconsistent to say, 'Hey, I'm against this funding, but if it's going to exist anyway, I want and deserve some of it!'

    That being said, I would agree that it makes the Republicans look silly. But it's a position they can argue their way out of easily.

  • dookdawg214, it is hipocrasy if someone votes against it then explicitly states that their state needs it desperately. That's like someone vehemently refusing medical attention, then claiming they need it desperately a few minutes later. Repubs are playing politics. Like someone said earlier, they knew it was going to pass, but are just pandering to their voter base by voting no. It is hipocrasy, and it's a damn shame Repubs are doing nothing constructive these days to fix serious issues...

  • EcrossH, see my response to dmiller185.

  • Why does Texas have NASA?

    We could do it a lot better here in Washington. We have An airplane manufacturer, and Microsoft.

  • weather is a large reason why its in texas

  • probably, weather is an issue, heck in a little freeze the west coast shuts down, lol, I love the west coast tho, lived in Oregon

  • I wouldn't give them the money myself. I'd just say they voted against it, so they don't get it.

    I really do like NASA alot, but I think at the moment the American right-wing is so UTTERLY out of control, that smacking them down is more important.

  • -_-...

    you don't know Democrats very well, do you? They will give it to them and the same Texas politicians will use this against them as a way of say, "Obama is spending too much."

  • Sad, but true :(

    But then Democrats want to help everyone, even the Republicans.

  • they should have attached a amendment to to the stimulus that says if you voted against the stimulus and want to use its funds you have to publicly change your vote

  • why does it seem that NASA always suffers man its like the middle child in one fucked up family

  • because for years the right and the repugs hated science

  • Stupid teabaggers.

  • It's a principle. This government is out of control. We need to fire everyone in Congress that voted for the bailout and put them on trial.

  • We need to cut of the South.

  • Put them on trial for what staving off a complete colapse of the economic system.Not to say that there wasent corrupt political reason 4 the bailouts but the reasons that we needed them took years to create without the bailouts we would have seen a much much much bigger econonomic broplems

  • More Republican hypocrisy, say no in public and fire up the teabaggers, take the money in private and then take credit when the money is being used for the projects the money was meant to fund in the first place. this is why the Dems should throw that watered down Baucus healthcare bill in the trash and pass a bill with a public option cuz these hardcore anti gov't Republicans will take advantage of that gov't program just like SS, medicare and W's stimulus checks passed out last May.

  • why did they vote against it? because thats what republicans do, they fight every idea the "left" has.

  • Lol you're 100% correct, they think serious issues are like a football game, where you cheer for one team and root for the other without thinking.

    God they're fuckin idiots, they don't like thinking about the issues, just siding with their team and shouting.

  • I hope none of those senators are from Texas. Texas is self-contained. They don't need government help. They want to secede. Don't give them JACK!!!!!!

  • Nice observation Cenk but I say we should let the rest of the world fund NASA NIH, CDC and all the other pet projects we have going. The country is broke it's time for China, Russia and India to make the new discoveries. They have the bucks let them spend it.
