2007 NH Democratic Presidential Debate (Part 4)

[brainboob]

Why are people not talking about how incredible UNDERrated dennis kucinich is?

[ratatabatata]

clinton is suck a slizzy bitch

[mucanamnam]

Mike Gravel and David Kucinich are the only ones here with the good ideas...

[brian8793]

FUCK Bill Richardson.

[AndresaPortuguesa]

genocide happens all over the world... "genocide is in Darfur".... uh... yea... but thats just the iceberg...

WOrld poverty and our international relations has become the core of our problmes: climate change (developing industries and war emissions), terrorism, and economic crisis.

Battle world hunger = propel the American people further in a world less likely to be pitted against us.

[sasquatchfan10]

kunchinic sucks

[starlover123]

anyone think Hilliary's answer is very contradicting? confusing even. she said it's bush's war then the u.s troop did so many great things in iraq then she voted against the founding at the last moment?

[greenorangeviolet]

saying its bush's war and saying that the troops ahve done good things is not contradictory. ;)

[duke1244]

its flip floping...

[PeaceandHarmony3]

It's not flipflopping to be against a president for starting a horrible war, but to also support troops for trying to do what they feel is best.

[YungTL80]

I can't believe the media afraid of Kucinich..Vote DK 2008

[beefwellingtonjr]

you realize he dropped out right?

[Shorbbie]

Voting for Kucincih is one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.

[Transfectingood]

i know your comment was forever ago but what do you think of Bidens note that they dont have enough people in the senate to stop the war yet, so we might as well give the troops special IED resistant vehicles until they do?

[Dengar12000]

The purpose of the military is to go into harms way.

I think the best way to support the troops is to give them the tools they need to do their job.

[Leinieslightman]

Dennis Kucinich voted against the war! In fact, he is the ONLY Democratic canidate to NOT vote for it.

[Leinieslightman]

yeah a target to be victimized by our own goverment and president. Your damb right there a target. All the more reason to get them the hell out of there. That is the only way that they will get there independance. And if they kill themseleves. Then they kill themselves. That is there problem. Not ours. We need to come back to our own country and take care of our own issues.

[amashimaro13]

Hillary is the best choice for president!! When are we ever going to get a chance to elect the 1st women president???? This is it...obama can always run next yr,,besides obama does not have enough experience in the politcal field....he is just smart..thts all...Hillary has the experience and the intelligence to be the president of the U.S.!! Dont regret later and vote for hillary!!!

[KerlyKerl]

two thumbs down...

[athens54a]

this is such a stupid arguement...

when do we get the chance to elect the 1st woman president? .. what about the first african american president?

... she can always run next year

... and yea he's just smart... thats all... right? haha

dont campaign for anyone because you just make them look stupid.

[littlegirlbighead]

when are we ever going to get a chance to elect the 1st woman president? It shouldn't matter that she's a woman! Or that Obama is black, for that matter. We should be paying attention to their politics, not their race or gender.

[Dengar12000]

YES!! That's exactly right!

[saq05]

when are the next democratic debates? where can I find out like a time line of upcoming events in this "presedential election"???? please!!!

[xoshkoshjoshx]

Jan 21

[XxAkihabaraDEEPxX]

all hillary says about iraq is that democrats are better that republicans on the issue and about her "3 point plan" that she keeps mentioning. but she doesn't talk about the three point plan in detail at all...

always be aware of people who talk a lot but don't say much.

[LaRoucheisright]

LaRouche: 'Obama Will Get Chopped Down To Prepare Bloomberg Run'

Increase DecreaseJanuary 7, 2008 (LPAC) - Lyndon LaRouche was asked by a French member of the LaRouche Youth Movement yesterday what he though of Barack Obama after his Iowa caucus victory. He replied by situating the entire campaign as a farce being played by the hedge funds to get a Bloomberg candidacy:

The youth movements news page is laroucheopacdotcom short vids on my channel

[bloodstone1445]

The media is trying to silence Dennis Kucinich.

Im not asking for your vote,

but please listen to a man that listens - Dennis Kucinich.

[Xproletariatx]

Absolutely. I think Kucinich and possibly Gravel have the best solutions.

[lennoelon]

Regardless if Iraq had WMD's or not nobody has been able to give me a justifiable answer to why we invaded Iraq following 9/11. Us invading Iraq after 9/11 would be like us invading China after Pearl Harbor. If we installed the same amount of troops in Afganistan as we did in Iraq we could have eliminated the Taliban and Al Quada and also captured Bin Laden.

[SaintHIM]

We were attacked by Japan at Pearl Harbor...

[stevegojira]

This war is wrong, no question about it. Hillary talks about bringing home the troops in 3 phases. All it takes is one order from our President. And, Hillary can be blamed for the war because she voted for it. How dare she blame others for her mistake! SHAME ON HILLARY!!!

[poisonlolli]

Bush lied about the war. Blatantly. Do your research. And there are tons of other great things Hillary will do if elected, like making universal heath care available and closing the wage gap by law.

[huhuhu555]

yea but at the time she voted, she along with everyone eles was lied too. how in the world could u hold her responsible just cause she voted on the information she was presented with at that time. on one would have guessed that bush was gonna screw it all up. SHAME ON BUSH.

[ytdsmom]

Are you really that ignorant? You commented yourself that Hillary voted on the information that was presented to her. This is the SAME intell that Bush had, yet you want to shame him...and forgive her.

[huhuhu555]

are u kidding bush started the war because of his own selfish desires. he WAS the one who LIED about the war NOT hilary. bush had other motives so NO hilary and bush did NOT play the same part in the war and hilary only voted on bush's lies

[ytdsmom]

Once again...ignorance. Bush didn't compose the intell reports. They ALL received the same information. You seriously need to lay-off the Rosie O'Donnell propaganda...

[findingdino]

hilary clinton should never be president

[KrisN29]

here here

[SolitudeDemise]

I strongly oppose the war in Iraq, Bush blatantly lied about the purpose of the war and I believe this war is primarily in the self interest of the republican party.

[Argentzorra]

I cringe every time I hear the argument that the budget to fund the war in Iraq was passed for the safety of the troops. Just bring them home. I favor Kucinich point of view. He was against going into Iraq from beginning. By the way no pass for those who say that if they knew then what they know now they wouldn't have voted for the war. They didn't do their job. They did not debate the issue, as Byrd had pointed out. One would think that they would know better given the Tonkin Gulf incident.

[drew8970]

Thank You Joe Biden!

Jesus Christ, how can people support any other candidate? Everyone else just stands up there and unrealistically wants to end the war and refuses to fund it...putting troops in harms way.

Joe Biden 2008!

[dyrnacht]

They didn't put the troops in harm's way, that would be our President.

[herunarivelice]

"It was the Iraqis fault"? Has Clinton sank that low?

[herunarivelice]

We went there and messed up the whole country, removed a leader who was holding the country together, caused the deaths of a million Iraqis, and now we blame the Iraqis for not fixing that? Wow. Bitch.

[fullofwonder123]

excuse me? "removed a leader holding the country together'?????

That man murdered ppl for being of a different religious belief than him. He had rape rooms, he killed his OWN SONS! Can you look me in the eye and say he was a great leader? Are you high?

[Defcon2012]

Kucinich... hes for free health care and the UFO files and he wants to open the secret goverment. I hope he wins but he won't be selected by the people he will be by the secret goverments! Our vote means crap! and always has since JFK!

[budblunt]

Hillary is a liar! I knew that G W Bush was full of shit in the beginning. Any canadate that says they knew all before thier pittyfull vote is a LIAR! I, a nobody knew Sadamm didn't have all those chemical weaponns. We need to quit burying our heads in the sand, and only believe those that didn't lie or vote for the war, and the funding from the beginning!

[budblunt]

Kucinich is the only choice! Any liberal that says vote for Ron Paul is a closet republican! And we all know that a lot of republicans are in the closet! Kucinich is the only presidential canadate that has VOTED NO allways! Do not trust any other flip flopper! Hilary is a closet republican ie. she supports the war on drugs and the death penalty. Not liberal at all!

[sgandms]

Today, we are showing our support for someone who will actually make a difference for this country. Today, we are joining together for someone who "doesn't have a chance". Today, and on December 10th, our voices will be heard as we rally together for MIKE GRAVEL. Join us for mass donation day *today* - myspace(.)com/letgravelspeak - and for our rally on the 10th in Los Angeles. You won't be disappointed!

[sanriosanrio]

we are already there. Either add more troops and make more efficient humanitarian efforts, or just leave and let civil war erupt over there. We can't half ass this war anymore. It isn't working. If they are really progressives and want to ameliorate what is going on in Iraq they know what they have to do. Richardson is an ass because when Saddame was in power the UN did zilch. Thats what he wants to do again. I don't think either a democrat or republican president is going to pull troops.

[sanriosanrio]

The UN saw how those people were living, although oil rich, lived in really bad conditions under a dictator. Was it worth it? Not finding WMD but "saving" and "freeing" a people? If we leave without fixing our mistakes and without makeing them self sufficient a good thing? I'm really curious. We leave then what? Genocide? Thats not cool. If we stay our troops die.This war needs more money. Soldiers without equipment and half assed humanitarian efforts won't cut it

[monstermash654]

kucinich was a little rude when he couldnt hear the question.

Obama 08!!!!

[DJ80s]

I don't know. I kinda like Biden. I used to like Edwards but now I just think he's too inexperienced. Biden is the best of stature with the strongest convictions of all those wanting to lead.

It doesn't matter though. In the end I think John McCain is the best of ALL candidates in all parties.

[2005Colorado]

JOE, CUT US A BRAKE.................

[DealWithIt16]

is obama going 4 his brown nose badge w/clinton?

[floridafan79]

Can Richardson not understand that the question is about a possible genocide in Iraq when the troops are withdrawn. Not sure if any of the candidates are worthy, they seem to be more worried about blaming issues on someone else and not willing to shoulder any of the blame for being one of the quietest congresses in the past 20 yrs. Stop pointing fingers and take some action and speak out as one voice.

[sgnhometown]

The President is not telling the truth? What is the purpose of the Congress?! The whole Congress body cannot merely trust one's hostile belief to vote for an unstoppable killing scenario. Now US is in deep dilemma. Its economy is falling. It's all about oil. This nation is wicked.

[abinator3000]

Richardson: "Our troops have become a target"... DUH!! Where has he been the past 4 years?

[hOcO808]

Undecided .. I'm leaning towards Ron Paul alittle...

[blackskullbass]

thank you hobobob10 im glad u set these videos up.

[alligator06]

MIKE GRAVEL 2008

the only honest politician

[Pilatocus28]

Joe Biden is great!

[Pilatocus28]

OBAMA '08

[Video7Pod]

DENNIS KUCINICH FOR PRESIDENT!!! His answers are clear & straight to the point! He's the only one candidate that voted AGAINST THE WAR and did not fund the war. if you hear different, you are being MISGUIDED! He also was the one that brought up impeachment. He also is AGAINST the patriot act!

[scifichild1122]

OMG! answer the God-damned question, Bill!

[avatarmage34]

HILLARY CLINTON changes everything she says. Dont vote for her!!Vote for Obama, he is the best!!!

[jessesowens]

Ron Paul

donate what you can afford. if you aren't yet a believer, simply read about him and his record...

[godishealer]

Joe Biden for president

[hmoob7]

RONPAUL2008

On the 5th of November, Please Donate 100 dollars to the Ron Paul Campaign!

[demurish]

Hey, I have found a neat site that asks you to rank the major issues and then it shows you which presidential candidates share similar views:

dehp DOT net / candidate

Check it out. It does not ask for any personal info (e.g. email). You just rank the topics and hit "GO":

Kucinich was at the top of my list, which didn't surprise me at all. Who's at the top of yours?

[adamjohnwest]

Hillary does a bang up job of shifting the subject to avoid scrutinization of her support of the war.

[alf7a]

Cutting funds to our troops is like sentencing them to death...that what angers moderates like me...both sides are willing to sacrifice lives for power...that's bull...Bring troops home alive...not in body bags because we refuse to give them adequate protection...

[vorkosigan99]

I agree with Biden. Why we are in Iraq, whether it is right, and whether its a good idea to pull out or not have nothing to do with it.

You have to support our troops.

You don't stop a war by cutting funding to our troops. Anyone who says or does otherwise is Slime.

[dakillabassist]

Very true my friend.

[godislove92]

Vote Kucinich 2008!

[stangboy34]

RON PAUL!!

[cosmo1pug]

The war will never end.. Evil is allowed to fester in these sand pits. There will always be troops and bases in Iraq! It would be stupid to leave all together. "The middle east will know peace" but only with our help.

[jhuckabey]

HILARY IS A DAMN TERRORIST

[rocksand14]

Vote for Clinton!

[iamwhatnormalis]

Hold a yardsale for dennis Oct 13 and 14. To sign the pledge go to the link in my profile.

[godislove92]

Vote Obama 2008!

[chelz2998]

gravel deserves so much more recognition, its terrible

[6saint6raven6]

I think Clinton and Obama are overrated.  Clinton is a woman and Obama is black, and so many people are impressed that they are running. I respect both of them for running and wanting to make the country great again, but I believe that they are overrated.

[rocksand14]

Because they are neither white nor male?

[6saint6raven6]

No, because that's all people are paying attention to. They are mostly getting recognition for their color or gender as opposed to what they're saying. I've listened to both of them and they both have amazing ideas and I agree with them on some things, but they should get attention from what they say instead of what they are. I'm not racist, and I'm female.

[ransomoakes]

i'm going to agree here..... i mean rcism is such handeled so pathetically these days one slip like....just saying he's black or cumthin and your in trouble....

[meshie3]

Gravel, Kucinich, Richardson and (maybe) Edwards are the only morally defensible people up there.

[no1000]

Gravel speaks the truth but amerikans don't like to hear the truth. that is why he won't win...sad but true

Gravel 08

[sparklytoez]

Let's get our heads out of the ground. This government system of ours has to be changed! The system only works for the wealthy!

DR.RON PAUL 2008!

[Jelloeyessuck]

I totally agree. Kucinich and Richardson on the same ticket! Wouldn't that be something?!

[bloodyhawk2000]

Hillary Clinton and Barrack Obama are way too inexperienced. Good thing the average voter do not pay attention to this.

[nick1sadler]

hilary and obama will be the final two

[alicakeys13]

I think so toooo! I wish. Do you think we are ready for a Black president or a another white president that is a women.

[nightmarehammer]

I have no idea why Hilary Clinton did not answer that straight forward question with a Straight forward answer.....

[DestinyGrL12]

I love how Hilary cannot answer one straight forward question...with one straight answer. Do you or don't you regret not reading it?!?

[TheNoTown]

The 2007 Drug Policy Reform Conference will be in New Orleans from Dec. 5-8 in the French Quarter. Be there and help end the failed war on drugs.

[Landlubber0918]

I really hope it comes down to Ron Paul and Barack Obama, because then I won't care who wins.

[overmind25]

What about Gravel!

[Landlubber0918]

meh, I like Obama more. Nothing against Gravel though.

[Landlubber0918]

Okay, I did some more research on Gravel (to be honest I didn't know too much about him) and now I really like him. He is now, definately in my top 3 with Ron Paul and Obama.

[overmind25]

Alright awesome.

[nanderson65]

Obama still funds the War, won't ask for single payer not-for-profit health care and said he would build a border fence. The fense is the dumbest idea ever.

An 800 mile fence on a 2200 mile border, built by Haliburton with Illegal aliens.

[Manfi123]

I guess on the Ron Paul people on the internet are working for him.

Vote Richardson!

[MikeT2005]

You have to love American's - "Coercive Diplomacy"? Isn't that a bit contradictory?

[cheesebal]

Heh heh.

[ltaulton]

Im surprised! Joe Biden hit the nail right on the head. Its not the democrats fault that the war is escalating its that dumbass in office vetoing the bills neccessary to stop this nosense.

[rationalthinker28]

These Dems are dolts. Kunichich(sp)? and Biden seem legit. Ron Paul 2008.

[michelle297136]

You think these dems are dolts? I know you didn't vote for Bush the ultimate dolt right? If you like Ron Paul thats fine, everyone has a right to their opinion. You must be working for him or something.

[holjesus]

fuck, biden is so fuckin right.

[jsutik]

wow joe biden just rocked the house. btw i dont think of medicare and social security as social welfare like say "assistance for mothers with dependent children", which clearly is. this is because in order to get medicare and social security you pay into it your entire working lifetime. it seems more like insurance or a government mandated savings program.

[LowBudgetPuppets]

This debate was touched on in our recent Week in Review. If you like hearing jokes at the expense of these assmasters, feel free to check out the video, even if you fast forward over the Paris Hilton stank status update.

[Aubby18]

Congress Kucinich is right about something:

One could look at it as this: congress uses its constitutional power of the purse and stop funding the war, and thus make it the president's responsibilty to protect the troops by pulling them out. He would be the only one keeping them there, not the congress.

[r0b0t0]

Bush isn't a traditional Republican. He is more of a democrat in the way he spends money and passes social welfare programs.

[breaks0]

Democrats believe in that degree of corporate welfare? Well you're sorta right, but his sort of corporate welfare is on another level. Worst war since Nixon and it's more shamelessly for energy than anything I've ever seen.

[neognostic23]

he spends money on war only. which social welfare programs are you talking about?  there aren't any.

[r0b0t0]

What cat hole have you been camping out in? Ever heard of the Medicare Prescription Drug Improvement Act? The 534 BILLION dollars tax payers have to suck up and pay in the next 10 years to provide prescription drugs to people on Medicare says you are wrong.

[neognostic23]

you know, i just don't count that as social welfare. actually, you've said it, it's the opposite of social welfare.

[r0b0t0]

Some people are just dolts.

According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, social welfare is defined as "organized public or private social services for the assistance of disadvantaged groups"

What part of taking my money and handing it out to the elderly (the afore mentioned disadvantaged) in the form of prescription drugs (a social service) makes the prescription drug improvement act not social welfare?

Please explain, your logic either just escapes me or isn't coherent at all.

[neognostic23]

i know, i've confused you. anyone who thinks that the failed medicare prescription drug plan is a viable social welfare plan is going to have to remain confused. please don't "appeal" to logic if you already know what i mean. it's not logical.

[micsc50]

Is this all the democrats have to offer. This is a bunch of fucking clowns. One I think is some kind of rat. This is a pack of snitches and back stabbers. The war was based on lies alright and most all of you cowards lied especially Hillary.

[Zxeirokxpaper]

sure... Let the republicans ruin it all over again. hell, i'll just say that they both have issues. but what do we know, who tells the truth or not.. *Coughs*Bush*coughs*

[prashantsolomon]

Edwards is the best person to be the next President of the United States. He appears to be the most genuine and admits his mistakes easily. He is positive in his vision and can inspire the nation to regain the confidence and credibility that George Bush has caused to be diminished.

[pianista17mari]

vote Ron Paul... only him or Gravel can unite democrats and republicans.

[midnightbright]

Finally, Gravel gets to speak! You suck, Wolf Blitzer.

Kucinich is 100% right. Biden is an idiot for just blaming it on Republicans.

Go Ron Paul!

[Ellerynum2]

Oh, and Biden is wrong. Funding the troops is not supporting the troops. Sorry, it's just not. I understand his argument fully. And I know what he is saying and why but it only gives the Bush admin more of the same ability to continue. Kucinich pointed out that the democrats were elected in '06 to STOP the war. And the democrats have failed. And so, just like Gravel was saying, this was is the democrats' AND Bush's war.

[Ellerynum2]

Gravel is right on explaining how it is not just "Bush's war" ..it was facilitated vy the democrats. Comparing to Vietnam was perfect--"how will we know?"...Mike gravel is the shit. But I place Kucinich just barley right before him.

[knavalesi]

I like what Kucinich is saying about not providing a funding bill at all. However, I could see Bush still keeping them there out of some insane attempt to save face and demonize the Democrats. I'm also glad Hillary said something that I think we've all been thinking for a while: "The IRAQIS have failed"

[terifrost]

The second and third tier is pretty lame. The only ones that really matter anymore are Hillary, Obama, Biden, and Edwards. Would love to have them all in the WH, with Hillary leading them.

[Zxeirokxpaper]

I agree, cept the Hillary being leader part... Obama. I'd explain why, but unfortunetly i cant type over 500 words.

[WingsTM]

wtf Richardson totally changed the subject when WB asked him about Iraq possibly falling into a genocide. Either he was unprepared and I feel sorry for him, OR he really is an asshat.

[pantselves]

Kucinich is the only one there who is not copping out. What Biden is saying is basically, "don't look at us, we shouldn't rock the boat!" Well thats bullshit and we don't need any more of this staythe course garbage. It makes my blood boil when I hear these Dems being so feeble. It just gives the GOP more traction when they call them flip floppers. With the exception of Kucinich they're right.

[jocamadad]

Right on, bro. I can't believe Kucinich isn't the front runner. Anybody with half a brain would know he's the best candidate out there.

[captainassface]

Bill Richardson is an asshat

[crowwithacookie]

Kucinich lies! he has bionic ears. he can hear better than the man asking the question.

[crowwithacookie]

Mr Burns dumped toxic waste in the playground....the tentacle tree and the mutant squirrels...the balding children are arousing suspicion.
