@bluesenshi But Ill still rather vote for Obama because he MIGHT oppose the Republicans. Now I would rather take a 25% percent chance at something going through with Obama than Rick Perry ,WHO WE ALL KNOW, will agree with EVERYTHING the corporations and lobbyists throw at him. Its a pick your poison thing.

@nativemrv19722 You're correct, the establishment will not pick Ron Paul. Are people without health insurance dropping off like flies now? Sometimes, but how's that gonna change under Obama 2? Ron Paul is not anti-government or anti-social safety net. He simply believes such government aid should be rendered on the state and local level. He espouses a smaller federal government and self-determined states, which could very well include a social safety net. Obama doesn't work for the little guy.

@dayati I think he was replying to Packerd01, although extremely vulgar and uncalled for. It's not necessary to call someone a vulgar name to get a point across. I hate that kind of shit.

@electronicoffee You are a vulgar jack ass.

@megagagnon1 Exactly Obama just robbed the middle-classes to give to the RICH. The banks got us into this position, so he chose to bail THEM out? Ridiculous. He is not powerful enough. He wants to be liked by everyone. I would have preffered Hillary Clinton - she is tough as NAILS and would not given a sh*t about the bankers. Obama is like a nice sugar-pill that makes you feel good. He should be an actor, NOT a politician. Hillary Clinton had the experience and tough demeanor to do the job.

[SuGaRuSh14]

Cenk is right here. Obama is too weak. I wish Hillary Clinton had gotten leadership; or Al Gore had won in 2000. The US got into a big mess and is just sinking further and further down into that mess. WHERE ARE THE LIBERALS????!!!!!!!

Ron Paul or this experiment is OVER!

@Packerd01 A study funded by the US government has concluded that conservatism can be explained psychologically as a set of neuroses rooted in "fear and aggression, dogmatism and the intolerance of ambiguity". As if that was not enough to get Republican blood boiling, the report's four authors linked Hitler, Mussolini, Ronald Reagan and the rightwing talkshow host, Rush Limbaugh, arguing they all suffered from the same affliction. - NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION AND NATIONAL INSTITUTE FOR HEALTH

@Packerd01 YOU ARE A DUMBFUCK AND A RACIST. I don't need to watch your videos to know you're a racist, I can already tell from the things you've said in the previous posts. It's clear you're a tea party racist nutbag and nothing you can say can change that unless you get some real education, go to college, take a history course or two, or ideally a civics class so you can realize that life isn't made of nascar, ron paul rallies, slim jims, and beer, you stupid, ugly, evil cunt.
