the biggest myth of washington is that republicans do the bidding of the people rather than the corporations who finance their campaigns and give them lucrative jobs after they are out of office.

ah, sorry mr republican from a state where your govenor executes innocent men and then orchestrates a conspiracy to cover it up?

where are the jobs mr hypocritical republican, you should know, your state gave us the administration that destroyed them leaving this administration to clean up your mess

now you have the balls to sit there and lie out your ass and ask questions about the disaster you created. wow.

Now they are promising us "Free. Bread and circuses".  What will you really have to pay for "FREE HEALTH CARE"? Heinlein's fictional moon colonists were right TANSTTASAFL.

Wealth, freedom, and self respect don't come from any government. Government can only take them away. Those things come from the person looking back at you in the mirror every morning. If you aren't proud of what you see change yourself. BTW it's not easy. Nothing truly worthwhile is.

Gentlemen. Unfortunately most of the Republicans and Democrats are on the same side. Let the finger pointing begin... "They did this". Yes they did, all of them, both parties are responsible for this mess Republicans controlled congress from 1994 till 2006 from 2006 till now the Democrats have been in control. Not much changed. The prescription they are pushing is more of the same.

Our problem is insulated career politicians like Robert Byrd 50yrs, Chris Dodd 30yrs, Barney Frank 28yrs

Obama with one stroke of the pen has increased the debt by 3x of what it was. It took over 50 years to get to that point where we were; now it's 3x worse. The only jobs that Obama created were 36 Czar and their staffs. And that is it! He hasn't save or created a thing. Healthcare is another area Washington needs to stay out of. It will increase the debt to a total of 2 trillion in 10 years not counting for any more stupidity from Obama and his puppet master; Mr Bill Ayers and the CPUSA.

The Iraq War was not deficit neutral and i didn't see any Republicans have a problem with that.

[Nilopollis]

Well hey thanks AP for this bullshit stump speech. I thought this was the fucking news! God you're worthless sometimes AP. Reuters all the way.

[yes4me]

rofl... this guy is a moron... WTF is that crap? That's a myth?? Go screw yourself... even a 5 years old know the answer.

no jobs means an economic recovery - Of course NO

health care reform is good - YES (except if you are getting paid by lobbyists like this GOP then NO)

deficits do not matter - Of course NO

I don't even need to watch the video. What a waste of time. Who elected this idiot wasting everyone time?

[Ocker3]

unlike how the money flowed under Bush . . .

[sharkey360]

The stimulus package is designed as a 24-month plan, therefore the jobs and full results will take a long time to appear.

I still think that the massive Bush/GOP tax cuts of the last 8 years were worse and more irresponsible.

The GOP is an embarrassment.

[intolerantape]

Stop blaming Obama. Obama is a face. His purpose is to influence public opinion, nothing more.
