The Tea Party never had a problem with spending before?  Thats the basis for the movement.

It is so funny how all the crazy Liberals can toss out the worn out race card in relation to the debt ceiling all while ignoring the fact that Obama along with all the other prominent Dems voted against raising the ceiling under Bush.  I guess they just assume that the people that listen to them are just that fu*king stupid.

Hey Billy, the GOP is dictating because American’s voted OUT the Dems and overwhelmingly voted IN the Republicans in 2010. Isn’t that a testament to the fact that Americans want new ‘hope and change’ ? Also, Obama still hasn’t put a plan on the table. He’s not leading even though he’s the most powerful man in the world. Too bad our media is in the tank!!!

I think Bill Maher should put himself to action where his potty mouth is. He can’t even run for the dog catcher, but he should run against Obama in a primary. Tommy from the Mediaite can be his running mate. Let the fun begin. Finally the elephants can watch as the donkeys eat their own. Otherwise, Maher should put a sock in his mouth and let rest and go back to making sexis jokes about conservative women. Sexism suits him well. What a joke!!

 Well this lady is full of crap the debt when bush left office was 10 billion Obama has not doubled the debt. Bush doubled the debt. But spritzer and maher didn’t call her out on it.

 Oh well I give up what a mess politics are.

Ugh I can hardly watch ‘Real Time’ clips anymore. Maher’s audience is just an echo chamber of seals who desperately want to feel important. No matter what Bill Maher says, as long as it’s a comment bashing Republicans, they just clap and hoot and holler. I love it when Maher said ‘no those aren’t the numbers that fact is wrong’ and his audience just claps and cheers…is that what passes for a rational argument for these brain dead libs?

correct

As opposed to the reasoned, rational debates of the GOP right? Come on. If you think one side does something the other doesn’t, you’re an idiot.

knew you would end up a cynic like me

She probably meant that Obama doubled Bush’s deficit. So far he has only increased the debt close to 50%.

 One of the funniest video ever. Neil Cavuto interviews Jan Schakowsky and she flip flops defending the Democratic stance on a ton of issues regarding the debt crisis. If you’re in the mood for a laugh and want to know what’s wrong with our country watch this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZE3TEiIfcM

We can only hope.

Well in all fairness I have not heard Republicans call anyone on the left a racist, c*nt, slut or butt buddy during one of their “round tables.”

correct also

Well he did call her “Ma’am.” LOL.

the tea party started november 3, 2008

as if anyone remembers the debt ceiling being raised under bush….

Tea Partiers never having a problem with spending until “Blacky McBlackman” was in office
TEA means “taxed enough already”, the riots in Europe taught us that we must get our debt under control before we become like Greece. Our debt is rapidly getting out of control.

 Heres how cynical I am. Im actually hoping the GOP takes over the senate and presidency, just to see what goes down. I actually want to see the tea party attack them and break them in two. This illusion that the republicans are the party of small govt is not true has never been true and will never been true. The last president left or right to cut the size of govt was William G Harding and he died in office from a heart attack and went down as one of the worst presidents in history.

The Dems are Only making the tea party more aware of who they need to throw out in 2012. One of them of course is Obama. His approval numbers will only continue to go south. Some of the people thst voted for Obama because he is black can now vote him out because he is incompetent. The more the Dems demeans the tea party, the more they stir them up. And we all have seen what they can get done when push comes to shove. Come on 2012. Obamas TelePrompTer isn’t working any more!

 yea i think thats what she meant as well but she kept repeating that he doubled the debt and it was bugging the crap out me.

 yea i think thats what she meant as well but she kept repeating that he doubled the debt and it was bugging the crap out me.

translation:  obama agreed with the republicans’ strategy of more tax cuts, 
hence……..more debt

of course I don’t know because she said bush left office with a 7 trillion dollar debt so I think she meant the debt. She’s an idiot but maher and spritzer are idiots to for not calling her out on it. 

This process is beginning to look like the battle for health care. They professed they wanted to compromise over and over but offered nothing. They owned the house and the senate but didn’t want to be on record for shoving it through and didn’t really want any of the Republican compromises. Obama said my way or the highway. Get in the back of the bus. The conservatives won a landslide victory but its still my way or the highway and get in the back of the bus. I have no intention of compromising with the Republicans and am just trying my best to get them to fold before I have to try the Clinton plan. I am the great one, I can get away with it. Smells like we have to pass it before we can see what’s in it to me.

you mean the one senator obama voted against

note to the tea party:  just because obama “doubled” bush’s debt doesn’t 
necessarily mean that obama “doubled” the debt using a liberal strategy

in fact, obama extended the tax cuts, the wars, and didn’t pass a large enough stimulus

 including the bush-era approved stimulus, the debt was over 11 trillion when he left office. not 7 trillion (spitzer: why don’t you speak up?) bush more than doubled the deficit. only other post-war president to double the us-debt? ronald reagan, who raised the debt ceiling 17 times. 

Yea and he tripled the debt ugh i have a headache

It sticks out more when you have a live studio audience like Maher does. It’s like Maher is an animate ‘APPLAUSE’ sign that they have on late night comedy shows. When Maher speaks, his audience knows to laugh and clap like the seals they are (even when he calls women bimbos, c*nts, horny, or the B-word). When a Republican talks they just know to boo (like when Hoover said how Obama nearly doubled the national debt).

cjdohio–

it helps to have a relevant point when making an argument

Bill

You are coming to Jacksonville ORY-GUN not ORY-GONE. Oregonians are generally liberal, buy unforgiving when it comes to the State name

Fact: Started here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmKXR-FLa2g&feature=grec_index in 2009.

 They booed because her facts were wrong and she kept repeating it over and over. She was a bimbo im not sure if she said anything correct in that whole 11 minutes. Fox news should hire her

CNBC’s Rick Santelli called for a “Chicago Tea Party” Thursday, leading the charge for calls to revolt against the Obama Administration’s mortgage bailout plan, this started the TEA party.http://www.cnbc.com/id/29283701/Rick_Santelli_s_Shout_Heard_Round_the_World

 Well in defense of cjdohio Obama did vote against the debt limit increase while a senator. But as I have pointed out before it just shows the hypocrisy of all of these politicians. Because all of the prominent republicans voted for it when bush was in office.

There have been tea parties April 15 all through Bushes two terms and I knew of them in Clintons tenure in AZ and in many other states. The huge stimulus package spurred the growth of the movement. This started before Bush left office and Obama signed the bill and created and asked for more stimulus. You can say it until your blue in the face but it didn’t start as a racist movement against Obama. They didn’t get media attention except to say a few tax protesters gathered at various capital buildings.   

then stop making irrelavant statements

Fact: Debt ceiling vs. GDP wasn’t at the level it’s at now if it was they would be morons like the ones raising it now!

Who cares how many times the debt ceiling was raised under Regan? The quantity of times means absolutely nothing. It is the AMOUNT of total debt that matters. If under Regan it was raised 17 times for a total of $1.7 trillion (just using random numbers) compared to it being raised under Obama 3 times for a total of $4 trillion (again just random numbers) which is more damaging to our country? Obviously adding $4 trillion vs. $1.7 trillion to the credit card it worse.

just because obama (one person) voted against raising the debt ceiling under
bush MEANS NOTHING

nobody cares about the debt ceiling.  raise it already.  14th amendment
makes it simple.

Fact: Point? Bend forward!

sorry bro

How HILARIOUS was that when Maher called out the TeaBaggers that they wanted the economy to tank the economy because we have ‘Blacky McBlacky’ as President and they had nothing to say!!!!

You TeaBaggers are going to go down in history as not the new ‘Know Nothing Party’, but the ‘Stupid F&@king Idiot Party’ that tried to tank the economy!

You guys are going to be a LAUGHING STOCK IN 2012!!!!

fine 14th amendment…..then why did president obama have to scare seniors if he has the power?

Fact:Teabaggers means the insertion of one
man’s sack into another person’s mouth. Used a practical joke or prank, when
performed on someone who is asleep, or as a sexual act this is an act of a
democrat. So you are correct democrats will go down in 2012 as the laughing stock party. hahahahahaha………

 Well you have to take into account inflation and the total budget and the percentage to gdp and everything else i would suppose

 Well you have to take into account inflation and the total budget and the percentage to gdp and everything else i would suppose

Oh, okay. If you say so. LOL.

It’s too bad a Republican strategist and a frequent Fox News contributor doesn’t know the difference between the debt and the deficit, but then again she is a Republican strategist and a frequent Fox News contributor.

Why? Bottom line is how much gets added to the national credit card. Under Bush it was almost $5 trillion. So far, Obama is over $4 trillion.

so clearly you must be for raising taxes to help cut the deficit

fact: Reagan http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6cIVThPxNs

I do lean right of center……but i think most politicians in  washington (not all) but most are crooks

WTF are you talking about? How did you get on to taxes all of a sudden? No one said anything about taxes. We were talking about number of times the debt ceiling has been raised.

What is the obsession with Liberals and hairy man sacks? Would you like some Schwetty balls for dinner?

Fact:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLInyN1UmNc&feature=related

Fact:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLInyN1UmNc&feature=related

Apparently some one care about this debt limit lol. The crazy thing is the this goofy government of both republicans and democrats are going to sign off on a package of cuts somewhere in the area of 800 billion dollars over 10 years. Over 10 freaking years! This means absolutely nothing. I cant even see how this so called tea party can take this seriously. Its like me giving my wife a penny and telling her to go buy a mercedes.

 Because a trillion dollars in 1982 was a lot more money in real dollars than a trillion dollars today. Just like the 10 dollars you have in you pocket cant buy you as much as 10 bucks could back in 1982.

it helps to know (i know that knowledge hurts, cjd) that the debt ceiling
has NOTHING to do with the 2012 budget

 Oh didn’t know she was on FOX that explains a lot.

your wife/mercedes analogy is about the dumbest thing i’ve read all day

Voting down the other side’s proposals and vowing to veto them is totally push over like right? This narative that people like Maher try to push is full of crap.

This and other protest all around the country rocketed the tea parties to fame and what they are today. But it wasn’t the beginning. One happened here in Phoenix at the same time. Tea parties have been going on for years. Watched the process develop after the regular April 15 protest. People began to call into the talk show host and say they wanted another protest over the stimulus. A week later people were talking about a date to do it. The truth is the libertarians started this about 20 years ago. I have never been to one myself but I like much of what they have to say. .

Actually Ron Paul started the first Tea Party. The term was coined in 2008 for his campaign and then almost be hijacked by corporate thugs around 2009-2010 for Healthcare Reform. Glenn Back brought it back to the grass roots with his Rally on the National Mall. Eliot Spitz n ‘er mouth and Maher were attempting some revisionist history in that clip so I thought I’d give the true account of events.

 Well voice I think Bill thinks Obama is going to cave, thats all he is saying.

BWAAAAHAAAAAAHAAAAHAAHAHAAA!!

That was your come-back!!!!!

You TeaBaggers are the people that are laughed at while you think you’re being laughed with! 

CLASSIC CLOWNS!!!!

Then I guess we will have to wait 29 more years to argue the point since by then we can know exactly how much Obama added to the debt taking into account inflation, total budget and percentage of gdp. That way we will be comparing apples to apples.

These mental midgets really do want to ‘crash’ the economy.

I saw somewhere where someone called these TeaBaggers ‘economic suicide bombers’ and I had to agree……

Fact: Wow an awakening on Mediaite!

Yeah, that was a superior come-back. LOL. I would much rather be a teabagger than be a teaBAGGIE.

Yeah, that was a superior come-back. LOL. I would much rather be a teabagger than be a teaBAGGIE.

What’s the difference?  Is the debt the principal we owe, and the deficit the principal plus actual and projected interests (plus we must now include all the 3rd party lawsuits we may incur for financial damages, due to the the effect our credit’s downgrading will have on other global currencies and commodity markets, which are dependent on ours)  …  hmmm?

2012 budget? what the hell you talking about now? no one mentioned the budget

Obviously you haven’t been paying attention. The teapartiers are going crazy. They have called for Boehners head. For the record, I totally agree with you. No matter which side it is, they are screwing the American public. Neither side in Washington wants to cut spending. They are addicts and we keep giving them their fix.

Fact: Your parents need to calibrate thier parenting skills. No doubt letting the little fuc talk crap on internet running amok.

Well, Spitzer and Maher pretty much spot on. Sideburns dude smart enough to keep his mouth shut and not challenge facts, Blondie handing in her application to become the next Gretchen. Thing is Maher as Spitzer made some valid points about Obama who gave in on some very crucial issues and gets next to nothing in return. Obama is trying hard to be a moderate President of all Americans while the reality is a highly polarized political climate in which his approach is almost destined to fail. He risks his base in exchange for his potential appeal to Independents and in the interest of his obligation to govern. As much as I would like him to be more aggressive, the fact remains he has to work with the right wing nutjobs because the Democratic Party was too damn stupid to mobilize their voters in the 2010 elections. Hopefully they learned their lesson for 2012 and this freak show of House of Representatives ends.

why are you guys so sensitive about taxes?

it’s as if i asked if you like anal sex or something…

So let me get this correct; wanting to decrease spending, wanting to cap spending and wanting to get a balanced budget is “wanting to crash the economy?” In your opinion spending like drunken sailors is the way to prosperity?

Fact: Democrats with a mouth full of sac can’t see the economy going off a cliff. Sounds allot like you Grafx.

i have cancelled HBO. i am tired of bill mahers racism on his show. he says stuff about blacks, asians tc. he is one of the left wing racsts. just as bad as the right wing racists! his show is going down the tube. his jokes have been full of hate th last few weeks. Obama is a better person than bill marher will ever be!

I’m not going to disagree with Spitzer, but does he honestly think that the crooks and hacks in Washington knew history, economics, sociology and science? Then have they been screwing us over and selling us out to China? Of course they know politics but unfortunately that’s all. Of course he is old school, he thinks that the people who have been screwing us over for decades are suitable for office and governance, and that if we got rid of the new guys the problems the old guys created would magically be gone. Based on scaretactics to a simple vote that does nothing to address real issues facing this country.

I don’t care for the TP either, and they are not the ones who are going to save us with their stubborn ideals, but his assertions and reversionary narrative is full of it.Talk about anti history and pro the people who have been running this country into the ground. Like half of those hacks were respectable people to begin with.

lol why? 800 billion over 10 years with an economy that GDP is 14.7 Trillion. Its literally chump change. We are spending 5 billion dollars a day! The budget for 2010 was 3.5 trillion dollars. Its not going to go down from there. What the heck is 800 billion over 10 years going to do?

What will happen is the firming up of a fascist state, goose-stepping along with Germany, as head of the Eurozone, in conjunction with the Word Bank.  Germany and the World Bank will rule jointly, and demand we participate in a global currency (due to our weakened credit status) and they’ll get the agreement from the UN; and we will be forced to participate, per our NATO and UN agreements.  Then the Tea Partyers will take the mark, along with their political bedfellows, the Republicans, and we’ll all see them condemn the Christians who refuse to do so.  See, the right is determined to end up on the plush side of the good ‘n plenty gospel.  They refuse to sacrifice and won’t brook such talk.  They’re committed to breaking this country down, to build it up in their own image, and we’re just casualties of their civil war.

Again with another completely off topic response. Are you ADD? We were discussing how many times the debt ceiling was raised under past Presidents. Then, you randomly bring up taxes. Now you are talking about anal sex. There are pills you can take for concentration. I think you should try them. Oh, and take the WHOLE pill. Clearly in a case as bad as yours nothing less will do.

whoops,  ha ha … I meant World Bank.  ;)

 No im just saying in real dollars and percentage wise Reagan added a crap load to the debt. Matter of fact you could call him the godfather of big government spending:) 

“Obviously adding $4 trillion vs. $1.7 trillion to the credit card it worse.” even with your major spinning, and ignoring that reagon doubled the debt, you’re wrong: 1.7 trillion under reagon is more than 4 trillion under obama? sounds wrong? well if you count in inflation, 1.7 trillion back then is well more than 4 trillion in 2011

Yeah, but cave to what? The bill failed in the Senate. The whole ‘caving’ thing is a running narrative. He backtracked on an almost agreed upon proposal because people in his party wanted more. Problem is that times where he allegedly ‘caved’, his party seems to get something in return. They were running the show with the majority for some time, now they simply have to deal with the implications that entails.

there is a big difference, for example you could cut the deficit to zero and the debt would still go up because the interest on it would keep accumulating.

Okay, so let’s use your “logic.” Let’s say with inflation Regan added more than $4 trillion to the debt. Obama is currently at that figure now 2.5 years into his presidency. He still has 1.5 years to go. Who do you think will add more to the debt. Regan or Obama?

Then you haven’t been watching any Republican videos (or right-winger shock jock videos), or reading the ridiculous Tea Party posters, either.  So many of them are vile, and their ALL misspelled.  It seems that Christian society has dispensed with the need for civility, and all rules of conduct and discussion.

ha ha … the pot calling the tea cup …   “they’re ALL misspelled.”   It’s getting too late for typing, apparently.

That is why this whole argument is so rediculous..  this from the CBO..

” A June analysis by the Congressional Budget Office concluded that keeping the U.S.’s ratio of debt to gross domestic product at current levels until the year 2085 (to avoid scaring off investors) would require spending cuts, tax hikes, or a combination of both equal to 8.3 percent of GDP each year for the next 75 years, vs. the most likely (i.e. “alternative”) scenario. That translates to $15 trillion over the next decade—or more than three times what Obama and Boehner were considering.”

So basicly these guys are pissing on a forest fire…  This CBO reports that if they do not cut deeply and reform entitlements that the interest rate on the national debt is going up regardless of what the outcome of the current debt ceiling increase debate is…  If that happenes you can just add more in interest alone that wat they are talking about in their so called cuts…

Don’t hate the Tea Party, you would do better to engage them in conversation..  Learn from them and let them learn from you..  This CBO report should be unsettling to everyone.

 Don’t get me wrong I agree with you but Bill is very left wing. He’s actually the equivalent of a tea party guy from the right. If its not a total and obvious victory for Obama then he sees it as a loss. The far right wingers are the same way. If they don’t get massive cuts and a amendment to the constitution they see it as a loss

Hi insideguy: That’s classic Republican fascist tactics … “the Big Lie.”   Repeat the wrong facts over and over ad nauseum, the bigger the lie the better.

 Well interesting enough was that spritzer brought up germany in this shouting match. They are doing very well for a variety of reasons. And they have much higher taxes than we do. Plus a very high debt to gdp rating. It really goes against the grain of the conservative narrative.

Why so a new freakshow begins? I like how they convince people that these trivial votes that will see a passing are the end of the world, while adverting the truly short sighted away from real issues facing this country that will still be there. Obama isn’t partisan hack enough for them and it seems that some will fall for such a narrative. He isn’t just the president of his stubborn partisan base, and like always independents will be deciding the next election. I’m sure the new freakshow will be to you and their likings. Poor American people and thinking citizens.

Well yes, Bill Maher is seriously filthy … and he’s got a niche audience who loves that stuff.  I’m not one of them, however.

 Well thats hard to say percentage wise I would say Reagan. Because he started with debt of under a trillion dollars. When he left office it was around 3 trillion. In order for the same to be true of Obama the debt would have to be 30 trillion dollars. Im not sure what the current projections but thats a crap load to catch up.

I completely agree with that. The all or nothing approach some of them seem to have is unbearable. The TP has run with it. That’s not to say there aren’t many dems hesitant to budge, and pundits urging them to hold as well. Our whole two side system is a disaster.

Okay, so it is only “percentages” that matter to you not actual dollar amounts? So, if Obama adds $10 trillion to the national debt it is okay with you because it will be less of a percentage than Regan added?

Again I say….THAT’S YOUR COMEBACK???!!

HAHHHAHAHAHAHHA!!!

You TeaBaggers are a joke that are so easily led!!!

Look at the simple post I put up and you guys really do get all BENT!!!

HILARIOUS!!!!

2012….AHAHAHHAHAHAHAAH!!!

 Well thats pretty cynical you have me beat:) I don’t know one thing about this country is its never comfortable with any party in total control for very long. Whosever in power during times where they have the presidency the house and the senate tend to overreach and get bounced out on their ass during the next election cycle.

Spitzer really is a Bad-Ass!!! I don’t care how many Prossies he’s been with!

You TeaBaggers are just a bunch of Gas Bags…..You argue in absolutes with partial facts that never are framed in the complete context!!!

TeaBaggers…..HAHHAHAHAHHHAH!!!!

I will give you that you are entertaining. LOL. However it doesn’t change the fact that you would be the one sucking on some nice man sacks. I’m sure you are highly skilled at it since you seem to talk non-stop about them.  Do you prefer them extra hairy or hairless?

Their behavior reveals what they really are though; and so does their websites, and posters, and vile, fascist speech (all fascists are racists, by the way).

 I didn’t say it was ok with me. Look 2012 my whole problem with this argument is that none of these people on the left or right are talking about tax increases, and im not just saying hey tax the super rich kill em blabla. They whole system is screwed up you need to close these massive tax loopholes and maybe raise some taxes in order to reduce this deficit! Its that simple. But these politicians don’t have the balls to do it. You cant cut your way out of this alone and anyone who says that is on crack. Read FEDUPs posting down below it is a huge eye opener to what is coming. Tax rates are at their lowest rates in 50 years, they haven’t gone up under Obama they have gone down! And we continue to spiral into an abyss why is that? Bush cut taxes, Obama cut taxes. The last president to raise taxes was Clinton! And the economy was good!

That woman was long on mouth and short on brains, I was hoping that she would let someone else talk as she really said very little and couldn’t even get that right. Definitly would not buy her book.  I think that what she was trying to say is that the annual deficits have doubled under Obama which is about right.   Spitzer made more sense than anyone and the Tea Party guy didn’t have much of a chance to speak… 

The debt is going way up because of the costs of constant, simultaneous wars and armed covert actions, and other operations, declared or otherwise.  The debt will keep going up because of the many intermediary layers of government mandated by the UN, which was put into place by NIXON, who was just doing as he was told.  You must remember, politics follows the money, and the moneyholders tell the politians what to do, regardless of what office they hold.  Look to the Bilderbergers, who’ve put all these policies into place, and a multiplicity of other scenarios.  It’s to consolidate global currencies, and thus to consolidate governments and power under one rule.

Suck some man sacks Grafx! Yummmmm!

Okay, just a question; Why are you against the balanced budget amendment?

Obama came into a completely trashed financial scenario, replete with two wars, halfway around the world in the most difficult terrains, and our boys overseas fighting, who needed backing.  His moves were fairly well dictated by the situations, and though he’s beginning to pull them out, the costs of wars are staggeringly high, and much more than we can afford.  This is blaming the cleanup man for the mess.

Man you’ve been hanging out on different conspiracy websites than I have…  I’m still waiting for the Bilderbergs and their banking consortium to take over the world.. euthanize about 90% of the worlds population and declare a plant as their new god. 

Wow! Is that a proposition from a real TeaBagger?!?!?!?!?

Can we film it?!!!

TeaBaggers…..Such simpletons!!! HAHAHHAHHAHAH!!!!!

 yea like i said before your right thats probably what she meant. But she kept saying the debt when bush left office was 7 billion and then kept saying Obama had doubled it. So she may have meant what you said but that weren’t the moronic words coming out of her mouth. Honestly i know this is sexist but putting these hot women on TV is nice and all to look at, but id much rather have an ugly women who knows what the hell shes talking about on.

The Tea Party is destroying this country and need to be stopped.  

The Tea Party is destroying this country and need to be stopped.  

Okay, so a couple things come to mind. First, did you know that the Obama stimulus gave back the corporate jet tax loophole? I find it very disingenuous of Obama to give it to them but then demonize them for having it. Second, even if they raise taxes on the “rich” how do you know where the money will go? Yes, taxes were higher under Clinton but spending was WAY lower. You can’t keep raising spending levels in hopes of raising taxes to make up for it. Eventually you can’t raise taxes anymore. Even if they took 100% of the “rich” earnings it still isn’t enough to make up for the deficit. Lastly, everyone on the left needs to stop calling them “millionaires” and “billionaires” and be honest that it is people making $250K. Just because it sounds more dramatic to call them billionaires it is not right.

She’s a ditz, I know where I have seen her before, she is a regular contributor to the O’Reilly Factor..  She is just as brainless there as she was in this clip. I think the tea party guy might have had something to say, I am sure that he would have added more to the conversation than she did but she never gave him a chance.

I posted something up above for you to consider…  kinda eye opening below your comment about the 800 billion

I posted something up above for you to consider…  kinda eye opening below your comment about the 800 billion

The Christian Reconstructionists want to take the economy down, breaking it and the nation, because they believe that only if they destroy it completely, can they build it back up again in their own image.  Google Oral Roberts’ Reconstructionism, and Dominionism.  They believe they’ve been mandated by God to dominate the nation, and take us slaves, to make themselves more prosperous, and pay us back for losing the Civil War (and their slaves).  The fact that the President is black is even more galling to them, but incidental to their planned destruction of the nation.   They should all be hung for treason.

Exacly how are they destroying the country? A little bit of a drama queen tonight Staci?

Well in principal im not. But politically it will never fly and heres why. The republicans are all of a sudden for this and thats cool. But they were never for it before because in order to do that you would have to cut spending in a massive way and raise taxes!. They know this so them proposing this at this time is just a political ploy to try and corner Obama. So when the 2012 election comes up they can say well we wanted a balanced budget amendment and look Obama didn’t sign off on it. Its the same ploy they pulled during the contract for america days. Remember one of the tenants was term limits? After they got elected the conveniently forgot about that and will do the same with this balanced budget amendment nonsense.

really? who controls the senate.

sit down and be quiet.

I completely agree.  We’ve got to break it down to the seniors, and show them how they’re all being thrown under the bus by the right-wingers.  The seniors are getting antsy about their checks, and they’ll listen to a more careful explanation of the truth now.

Nope. Not a proposition. You can stick with sucking dirty Liberal sacks. After all, they are your flavor.

I think the president needs to get back to doing things like how the founding fathers would have

like send out a militia to put down lunatic anti tax revolters and jail their leaders like george washington did

and round up seditionists and dissidents who insult him like john adams did.

do it like the founders did, mr president.

LOL. I thought it was off the cliff not under a bus? You guys are funny though so I gave you a “liked” for the comedy aspect of your posting.

Their tactics are going to hurt the economy and plunge it down the tubes.  We need to raise taxes to increase revenue.  

yea i read it and complemented you on it up above:)

Right, the new guys are destroying it and not the crooks that have been in there for years watching it go down hill.

If Bill wants to prove how the TP are hypocrites the rational thing would be to point out how the next guy is a democrat. You know, common sense. But instead he plays the race card for a dishonest point that can easily be explained without such horrid and spiteful tactics. But apparently spending is okay now. Looks like he is in the same alleged boat.Also not letting the only woman speak without getting interrupted, come on.

Inside guy – have you looked at the Mack Penny proposal?

How about cutting spending? How about the 1/2 of the country that isn’t paying taxes put some in to help with the whole “shared sacrafice” thingy we keep hearing about? Balancing a budget, cutting spending and capping spending is not going to plunge anything down the tubes.

lets be honest.

elliot spitzer destroyed the conservaterrorists tonight.

the best they’ve been able to dig up on him is he likes the poontang.

and glenn davis is a typical conservative lapdog who thinks the headline is bill maher, no, the headline is conservatives once again CAN. NOT. HANDLE. FACTS.

At least try to be entertaining if you’re going to be a simpleton….like most of the TeaBaggers…you’re just boring. It’s hard enough to interact with simpletons but if you’re going to be a boring simpleton, then I’m just going to have to leave you to your ‘kind’…..BWAAAAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHH! TeaBaggers!!!!

China’s not our real problem.  Our real problem is going to emerge out of Europe, Germany at it’s head (and the financial base of it), with a “leader” who will shmooze his way into power by flattery.  He won’t be elected; but he will institute the new currency system, and a new religion, to consolidate power.  The layers of government that we’ve set into place, to conform with UN agreements, makes this threat a real problem to us.  Our money goes from the state to the federal level, but gets channeled back down to the state level through these UN mandated ‘watersheds’, and if the states don’t comply with UN mandates, they don’t get the money.  In the past, money went directly from the federal level to the state level, but no more.  This change makes it possible for the new global rules to exert direct financial coersion upon states; plus it blurs and eradicates state and national borders (which is the intention … to divide the world into divisions, and districts, based on new global zoning, that eliminates national boundaries, and thus, national laws.)  THIS IS THE REAL THREAT.

 Yea i have looked at the mack penny deal. Its interesting but doesn’t taken into account emergencies like wars or natural disasters,or for that matter another crash in the economy. Thats why and I know you hate me for it you have to have an increase or revenue from somewhere. But that being said its an interesting idea, that i think could be looked at and tweaked.

Oh, I guess that means you need to head back to slurping sacks. Got it.

 hes a smart guy but he does love his ladies:)

 hes a smart guy but he does love his ladies:)

I think cutting spending will hurt the economy even more.  If you layoff more police, firefighters, mail carriers you have higher unemployment and more people looking for work. Too many tax breaks goes to people who don’t need it and it’s not helping because they’re not hiring people.   

FDR increased taxes and increased spending and that put people to work because it created revenue.   

What’s destroying this country is the fact that corporations don’t want to compete (sweetheart no bid contracts) Wallstreet is uber corrupt. Politicians are in  the pockets of corrupt corporations (not all corporations are corrupt, some still believe in a free market), Dems keep supporting the neo-cons idiotic foreign policy and the Tea party/Republican party is offering no rational ideas (they won’t even touch the defense budget which along with the unpaid tax cuts is the largest part of our debt).

I agree, Charles.  He’s filthy, and he stopped being funny long, long ago.  

you are all over the map dude. Is art bell still on?

I have NO PROBLEM with the philanderers or anything.  its the family values crowd who turn around and have gay escort orgies thats the issue.  spitzer’s always been a thorn to wall street, which is why conservatives hate him: he goes after the criminals.

 and LOL@ freedomworks.

conservatives are such “rugged individuals” that the army of dittoheads take their marching orders from two nutcase billionaires who could give a flying crap about them they just wanna fill their own pockets.

conservatives, you are slaves.  you are little flying monkey slaves and lapdogs answering at the beck and call of people who hate you.  they hate you and despise you and could give a damn if you lost everything and starved to death.  none of your talking points and little stupid founding father wigs are going to change that.

freedomworks has you owned, and threw away the receipt.  keeping drinking the kool aid, pretty soon you’ll be living on cat food to go along with it.

I feel sorry for the seniors and the handicap in this country because they are going to get hurt bad by this  wild right wing agenda!

Keep up the good work TeaBagger 2012freedom!

HAHAHAHAHAHAAH

It’s only off a cliff in Greece.  American style, it’s under the bus or a steam roller.  Maybe it’s even shot out of a canon or bunjee’d.  

 Oh I agree don’t get me wrong like I said he’s a smart guy and knows his stuff, but like many men likes to spice up his life a lot:)

I agree most of them are corrupt and their afraid to go after defense and wealthy people, but I don’t really believe in free market because they have to play by certain rules.  

Heck, we could even try PAYING our taxes … that might work.

I pay my taxes!!

Nope. It was specifically a bus in the commercial. However, it would have been more interesting had it been a cannon.

I think most people misunderstand what a free market is. I use to. But then I read more and actually it makes a lot of sense. We never had a free market in this country. It’s always been a mixed economy. Monopolies are formed when the government awards no bid contracts to corps (usually because of donations or kick backs). In a totally free market, monopolies wouldn’t occur. 

oh absolutely and more power to him. 

I’d rather have people who I knew who got their party on and were honest about it and supported good policy like spitzer than people who lie about it and try to tell other people what they should and control their lives.

keep freedom strong, keep conservatism out of our bedrooms.

I wish … I never did get a chance to listen to him.   But those layers of UN-mandated government (additional to what the federal and state governance actually requires) are expensive … very expensive … and have swelled the size of government, which jacks up costs.  This definitely could be done away with, and we’d be able to put that money to getting out of debt.  If it sounds like I’m all over the place, it’s because I’m focused on what’s actually needed, rather than a political agenda.  If only our politicians were likewise focused, we wouldn’t be in this stalemate.

lol we are agreeing to much:)

dave do a little research you seem pretty smart but totally free markets would be a disaster. I can tell you why if you wish but I think I would be writing for a long time and im to lazy right now.

Spitzer is one of the most intelligent Demcrats I’ve seen in awhile;

Simpleton TeaBagger…..I haven’t worked for anyone since I was 18 and I have been running businesses all my life….You haven’t a clue!!!!

You and your ilk’s demise will be quite entertaining!!!

I think I have an idea. Keep in mind i’m not one of those twits who wants to ditch social security. Thomas Paine, the best of the founding fathers pretty much came up with the idea in his Agrarian Justice. I wish more so called “patriots” would read it. I’m aware a free market has it’s short comings. But the problem is no other system has been better for humanity. Free minds and Free markets has been pretty good overall. But the day something better comes along i’ll be the first one to support it.

Ummm…toward the end of FDR’s second term, unemployment was 20.7 percent — greater than it had ever been before the Great Depression. All that massive spending and almost no jobs were created with those tax dollars.  Once those massive tax increases took effect, the economy collapsed  into another recession.

Staci, are you always this paranoid? LOL. I do look forward to your posts though. You always crack me up.

I think the balanced budget amendment is essential … but we should time the implementation of this proposal, and give the President time (definitely the remainder of this term and then some) to address the recovery and the jobs issue (a multifaceted problem).  He WILL be elected for a second term, and he can begin implementation of this proposal (if passed into law) sometime during the second or third year of his second term.

I agree with insideguy free markets would be a disaster.  I think monopolies need to be broken up if they get too big or they limit competition.  I think a lot of the big banks need to be broken up. 

 I dont disagree with yu 2012 thats why you need a mix of tax increases and spending cuts. And somehow someway these people need to be held accountable for the money that is spent. That goes across whole levels and depts of govt.

So, you are advocating violence? Because people don’t think like you do?

Oh i couldn’t agree more with you Staci. Big banks and their “TOO BIG TO FAIL” is a threat to our entire country. There are some industries that shouldn’t be privately owned (cops, prisons, fire) and quite frankly I don’t think the federal reserve should be private. But again, I’m not sure where either of you see any difference with me. 

Hilarious!  Oz is a cruel, cruel place.  But on the upside, with all the new patented bio-mass that’s just waiting to be grown in the biggest land grab this nation’s ever seen (since we stole it from the Indians), chock full of nanoprions and nanoamyloids —  people will be so crazy from neo-mad cow and neo-Altzheimers (due to being supersaturated with “unlucky balls”, formerly known as buckyballs), that they’ll eat their cat food and LIKE IT.  

Is it hard to type with your mouth full? Don’t get any drool on the keyboard.

I agree with you that we need to cut spending. Lets start with the defense budget and the wars. Thats 4 trillion right there. And let the bush tax cuts expire. Bam another 3 trillion over 4 years. Wow I think we are back on track as country just with those two alone! Yahoo!

HAHAHAHAHA

Obama entered us into a Libyan war. He’s more war hungry than Bush was it appears.

Sure, let’s end the wars and end the tax cuts for everyone.

There’s the ever-popular public hangings … however, I favor putting the entire opposition in the stock and pillary, and pelting them with empty soda cans until they’re well dented.  Let’s televise this … we’re the new Rome … we require spectacle.

I think you and I just did what the government can’t… Reached a compromise!

What does this term “neo-con” mean?  I’m confused by these shortened fake terms and acronyms.

What does this term “neo-con” mean?  I’m confused by these shortened fake terms and acronyms.

Well, according to the merriam-webster dictionary: Definition of NEOCONSERVATIVE
1
: a former liberal espousing political conservatism2: a conservative who advocates the assertive promotion of democracy and United States national interest in international affairs including through military means

does that help?

This morning it was announced that a fair and race is being held (in Jersey, I think) and they’re shooting a lady out of a canon three times every hour.  The starting pistol for the race is this lady, out of a canon.  They really know how to treat a lady in Jersey.

well conservatives always wanna get back to the founding fathers.

thats how the founding fathers would have handled the teabaggers today.  if john adams was locking people up for calling him “cad,” imagine what obama should do for all the things republicans call him.

Yes, thanks Dave.

you know how conservatives lose an argument? as soon as they say, “both sides do it.”

no.  they don’t.  they’re like little children who got caught smashing the house to bits and say, “well lil billy got me the hammer!” 

I still have yet to see liberals line up outside of congress to yell racial insults at members of congress like the teabaggers did.

Dave, so you might be against these constant wars?  And possibly for laws that empower and enhance our ability to manufacture and export (without undermining and destroying unions, of course)?

People can say what they want about Bill, but his clips i’ve noticed always provide for the most interesting debates and conversations. 

Hi InsideGuy:  Why would free markets be a disaster?  (Is there a short way to say why?)

Staci, there’s a way to help.  Find a senior near you who you like and bring him or her food; and help him or her get their laundry done, or their floor mopped.  Seniors have alot more problems than just money.  Maybe someone you know needs to reapply for a program, but they can’t walk there, and there’s nobody to help them … you could drive them, and wait for them to put their papers in, so you can take them back home.  Helping isn’t complicated.  It’s just caring enough to take time to work on someone else’s behalf, and share what you have with them.

I think as a country It’s better that we try to spread democracy through not hard power (war) but through soft power (our culture, inventions, ect). I think its imperative that we focus on building bridges, roads and schools that actually work in this country, not 12th century countries. Yes I think the only way to get out of this mess is for us to build things. Make things. And also treat workers with dignity and respect. It’s my belief that the middle class is the glue that holds this country together.

jeesus youre fucking lame.

Agreed.  He also put the young people to work in the forests, and fed and housed them in camps (it prepared them for the discipline of the army in WW2); and FDR put the adult men to work on huge infra-structure projects; both of which helped families a great deal during the Depression. People today don’t know how bad it can get.  My granddad had six insurance companies and lost them all in the Depression. That kind of loss can hurt several generations that follow.

lol no short way to say why

I don’t know which I enjoyed more…Spitzer destroying the talking points of Hoover and Kibbe with actual facts or seeing Hoover play the sexist card when she muttered she was being patronized because she was a woman.

Absolutely brilliant.

 ?????

Fact: Talking Hack Mahar never discusses what caused
economy to rise during Bush years. War on Terror was a byproduct of Clintons
war on US military which gave us an attack on 9-11 then the other was housing
bubble that’s talked about here liberal morons. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4A0RuXhnQA

This is what happens when phoney white pseudo-liberals cast their vote, based on nothing but skin color. What would MLK say?

Fact: Brilliant demarodents lack of math skills unable to form simple conclusions of how to reduce debt.

Fact: Demarodents all approved attack on Iraq while Bush was President then all walked out yelling insults was the normal daily fiasco no matter where a TV camera could be found but hey some of you morons here at Mediaite were to young to remember those things and voted for the anointed one and are spoon feed idiots.

I find it almost amusing how Dems/Libs constantly mock the Tea Party and its members. Statistics show that approximately 80% of the voters,  whom cast their votes for Dems/Libs, are high school dropouts and illiterates, have little or no employment history, and are usually dependent upon the taxpayers for housing, food, and other freebies. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.

Fact: Great for the village idiot demarodent party to love Mahar trash and here is where they all came from even Mahar’s roots! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNBNqUdqm1E

Fact: I agree he is one of the most intelligent demarodents out there.  The “sheriff” is viewed by many as a disgraced hack trying to make a come back as a news analyst on CNN or being a posser on Mahar’s show. Meanwhile the finacial titans he took on got bailed out by the government. For the most part they kept collecting their bonus checks and advising the government on running the economy. The tanked Obama economy which he himself owns and has doubled down the debt. The firm at the center of the financial scandal Goldman Sachs and the Barney Frank, Chris Dodd and Maxine Waters housing bust of Fanny Mae and Freddy Mac is well represented in the Obama administration from cabinet post to lobbiest.

Always fun to see someone talking out the side of there puss. As in, you’d be challenged to be anymore mistaken than overlooking the fact that the vast majority of federal assistance, drop outs, teen mothers, and costly domestic violence belongs to….GOP held red states.

Fact: Censure suggests using proper English when
posting comments. He’s a moron and that’s how you write it in a sentence.  hes is a no no and He’s is a yes yes ……

Fact: Red States are producing all the jobs now and you are wrong. California tops the list and it’s all demarodent infested with dropouts and idiots like you.

Fact: Pass me that chicken bucket?

I don’t care as much about Brick Obamo signing his own death warrant as I do about Bill Maher signing his. In point of fact, Bill Maher IS Brick Obamo…except Maher has greasy hair and Salvation Army clothing.

Additionally, democrats could have done it last year when they had full majority.  But they didn’t because then they wouldn’t have anyone else to blame.  They are cowards.

Biggest lie of the evening, Margaret Hoover saying that Obama double the deficit.   Apparently she thinks the 2009 deficit was Obama’s.   She’s either clueless or a liar. 

Here’s a piece by the CATOs which explains things.

http://www.cato-at-liberty.org/dont-blame-obama-for-bushs-2009-deficit/

Obama is going to lose next year simply because he IS a loser.

“Hasn’t Barack Obama signed his own death warrant as a candidate for 2012?”
Such violent rhetoric. Seriously, is that kind of talk called for? 

Based on Obama’s own comments, it seems his actions in this whole debt debacle are based on one thing – winning in 2012. 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4u5kmfWudO4&feature=player_embedded

Sessions began, “The president said–really–this is what the president said a week ago: ‘The only bottom line that I have is that we extend this debt ceiling through the next election, until 2013.’ The president thinks this is about him. It’s all about him. This is about America, and what’s good for this country. It’s not about the president. It’s not about politics.”

Sessions also revealed that a little-noticed provision in the Reid plan would “deem” budget resolutions to be passed for the next two years, further abrogating the statutory budget process that Senate Democrats have ignored for the past 821 days. Sessions asked: “Does the president think the Senate should go two more years without crafting or passing a budget? We’ve already gone two.”

I do. The media and Dmeocrats had a shit fit over it. Obama said it was a bad move and the media called Republicans “crazy” for wanting to do it. 

Everything Maher has said about our great President has proven so correct… How’s POTUS Hilliary doing for you Maher? Oh..that’s right you were so incorrect!

are you Darla’s long lost twin? lol

The TEA Party is trying to save the Country and you want them stopped.  ok then

Obama and Reid are flat out liars…there is no denying it…. when is the media going to step up and do it’s job and report the TRUTH and FACTS?

Obama is a one termer because he is completely and totally incompetent.

The democrats do NOT want a balanced budget amendement, simple.  My gosh, the democrats have crafted or fvoted on a budget in how many years now?  The ONE responsibility of congress they have completely abdicated, and the media is SILENT o nit.

It just makes you scratch your head and wonder what they hell they think they are doing….weaving a web of lies will only make the public turn on them even more.

Bill Mahrer is not a Democrat so I am not sure why the MSM is putting him on the Dems.  He is a green party/libertarian fool.  Those people are closer to tea party memeber than liberals.

it’s a shame that the right-wing msm practically ignore articles like the one you posted and instead choose to lie and exploit the stimulus that obama passed, of which 30% was meant to appease the republicans with tax cuts.  the stimulus did what it was supposed to do in keeping the unemployment number relatively lower after the disaster that bush had passed on the obama.
although ‘death warrent’ is a bit strong, when he extended the bush tax cuts for people making millions of dollars, he drew the ire of many progressives.
with tax cuts for the rich and no public option on the right-wing health care reform and his aggressive approach on foreign policy, we didn’t realize how far to the right obama really is.
turn away from the dark side barack, turn away.

That short, stupid, hateful, ugly, chubby little troll said “I no longer understand this man.”

By Maher’s very own logic, isn’t the only real underlying meaning of that comment is that HE HATES BLACK PEOPLE?

It helps if you have a brain and a real name to stand behind.

how funny would it be to see rush tarred and feathered.

I feel like I’m listening to a routine from “Princess Bride,” you DO realize that it was Barack Obama who stated that he wants a “fundamental change” in the United States, don’t you? All of the things of which you accuse the GOP are EXACTLY the tactics of George Soros and his minion, Barack Obama, as outlined in Saul Alinsky’s book, “Rule for Radicals.” 

You appear to be extremely confused about who’s doing what to whom.

Because of baseline budgeting, ALL of Obama’s excessive spending is PROJECTED TO INCREASE by something like 7%, therefore any “cuts” really AREN’T. Thus, if the budget froze spending at current levels, the CBO would score it as a NINE BILLION DOLLAR SPENDING CUT! R’huh, R’hoh!

Even his fellow Democrats don’t like him.

Just wait until the 2012 elections get closer and you will be seeing that Democrat Senators and Congressmen trying to move away from him.

The trouble they are in however is the President “The Great Divider” Obama can still raise the money.

He has so divided the US  between races, money, class that it will take 50 years or more to recover.

a big reason greece that greece has/had was granting pensions for so many workers at such an early age.  they would identify “dangerous” jobs such as coal miners or bomb disposal and give them up to a 90% pension as early and age as 50.http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/12/business/global/12pension.html
yes, this mirrors to some extent our own social security shortfalls that would be seen, at least, in my lifetime, but the thing that strikes me the hardest is that with all the “socialist” programs that greece has, like their early retirement, their debt/individual person is $48, 830 and ours, even with all the democratic “socialist” prograns is $46,134 per person.

i agree, to some extent, that programs like ss and medicare has to be changed so they do not fail, but to do it with a gun to our head like the republicans want to do it is disastrously wrong.

Class warfare……  blah blah blah    tea baggers…..blah blah blah    Racist…..blah blah blah   Bush did it…….blah blah blah   Republicans are stupid……..blah blah blah      A bogus emotional plea designed for emotional and intellectual cripples………His audience

yes, he is closer to glen beck, politically, then jon stewart.

another false meme i always hear a lot of is that obama has increased the size of governmental jobs.  given the housing crisis, i can understand the lack of recovery in construction jobs, but there is also a slow down in governmental jobs.
http://mobile.nytimes.com/2011/07/30/business/economy/construction-and-government-jobs-are-no-shows-in-recovery.xml

i wish the msm would stop covering right-wing bs and stop telling lies about obama.

You can make fun of Maher, but at least use tactful statements. The whole 3rd grade name calling makes you look ignorant. Bill Maher is a genius of politics, who happens to gives into his West-Coast Liberal views rather than look at a situation with apathy. That being said he is not short, chubby, and definitely not stupid. BTW we as Americans need to stick together, since our government seems very close to the tipping point 

So, you ARE SO INTELLIGENT that you are willing to give up your social security and give medicare to insurance company  so the rich can get richer.Yeah good idea! Have a nice retirement! (if you work at all)

Bill Maher: Hasn’t Obama Signed His Own Death Warrant As A Candidate For 2012?

Short answer: Yep

So, you ARE SO INTELLIGENT that you are willing to give up your social security and give medicare to insurance company  so the rich can get richer.Yeah good idea! Have a nice retirement! 

Who gives a rats ass.. They all need to go…

Default will be blamed on GOP by DNC, on DNC by GOP and the rest of the country will just live with default and go on. America will survive. Neither one of these “special” clubs will actually cause a total destruction of America no matter how hard both sides seem to try. We will just improvise and continue as we always have. It’s actually lack of voter turnout and those that voted all the nuts in Washington fault.

You do realise we been talking about a credit rating and not wanting to pay the countries debt off? We as a country want to keep BORROWING.. ofcourse “we” means “our” money “we” earn pays it off. I don’t remember these guys working those long hours along side me for “me” to make “we” money? What happened to just living and within means?

Such a stupid country.. these are our? leaders, and we embrace them? and allow them to have their own medical and retirement plans better than what they put on us? And then they say they might not pay for “ours” although it is ‘OUR” money? Allow them to live at the top of the food chain and make decisions? lol, not me.. time for BIG Change.. you people are surely not that blind and stupid to keep voting these foolish people in are you? They insult you and family on a daily basis! You enjoy being put down every day by what “we” voted in?

How anyone can be for either party has to be a total brainwash. How can you hold your head up and be proud of EITHER party? The first thing I do when entering a voting booth i check for Incumbents.. I avoid that name with a passion.. then I see if someone is “new” that might do better and make a difference, they surely can not do worse and wont have that pompous ass expectation they are better than those they serve and have entitlements above those that voted them in. Total fail as a Country when we allow such fools serve shit as servants and we eat it. “Wake the F*ck up!” don’t “Go the F*ck to sleep!”

Don’t like the Tea Party? Start a new party for a few voting years called “Incumbents out, all Parties!” Tell me, how could we go wrong with that? seriously? how? We have a failing leadership across the board.

I only have one weapon for defense. My Vote.

Must be joking.

Yeah…he is short, chubby, and probably one of the stupidest people on TV.  Having a group of trained baboons wildly applause for you WHEN THE APPLAUSE LIGHT GOES ON doesn’t make you a genius. It makes you look like an idiot.

Seriously, could you imagine if anyone else on the planet when on a major Sunday morning network news/politics show said that we should be like Brazil and go off oil like they did 30 years ago??

Seriously…he said that. The rest of the panel just looked at him like was a total retard.

Brazil is both one of the leading oil producing AND consuming countries on the planet

Since Maher is the complete fucking moron he is, no one in the media reported it because 1)they expect that kind of ignorance and stupidity from him, and 2) he’s a libtard

No way. He’s a liberal but he likes to be outrageous and get people thinking.

And he is going to lose to who?

Joe Walsh and the other freshman members of the 2010 class are the problem, their intransigence and “my way or the highway” approach to governing is what brought us to this point. We still the possibility for a government shut-down in 6 months.

Hopefully their conduct will give you some pause from summarily discounting all incumbents. “New” isn’t always better.

nope

What you really meant to say is Maher is a liberal who wants to make people sick to their stomachs…and succeeds.

The Tea Party has only been around a few years?
you want to keep pounding that drum? Really?

And you sir, are a total fool to believe Either party is any better.
That s the problem with our Country, simple minds flock together.

You can PROUDLY say you back a good party for Americans? Seriously?

You must sit proudly at the head of your table each night allowing such leaaders in Washington stay in power.

‘Yep’ that one…..but the other 6, he wasnt there yet!

I’m hardly anybody’s TOTAL FOOL. My point is there’s an insanity with these freshman and their unwillingness  to comprise.

Yeah, I’m a liberal and progressive, however, during the 90′s I bought into the Republican rhetoric and crossover on several occasions.

What less insanity is it to allow senate and congress remain as incumbents that pass laws making them above the people they serve?

As to god old Almighty REAGAN halo be his name.. He is worshiped because both parties bought into the Pyramid Scheme he started and we now see come to an end.

compromise – accepting you screwed up and it’s time to fix it, not continue it.

Maher, as provocoteur, asks a ridiculous rhetorical question, with all polls showing people generally pissed off at the conduct of the republicans. Who could possibly defeat Obama? There are simply no candidates, and, the spectre of a Sarah led third party tea party, and all of that would spell a complete reversal of fortune for Obama.

Democrats controlled the House AND Senate from 2006 – 2010. Obama and Co never passed a budget or developed a debt ceiling plan when they had a super majority. Now Americans voted GOP in (over 65 new seats last fall). They’re tired of the Dems.

Actually folks like yourself are fucking stupid..The Republicans never asked for budget cuts when they raised it the 7 times under Bush nor the 18 times during Reagan. Sane people see what the tea party is all about and you folks are going to be in for a long night next November and once the Dems retake the house and President Obama cruises to re-election bid the tea party will be gone.

Whiny, annoying woman.  Put a muzzle on her!  A voice like fingernails on a blackboard.  The “tea  party” was funnier when they were “tea baggers” and did not know the meaning of that phrase.

Actually the House was controlled by your side during the Regan years which meant they wrote the spending bills. Don’t let a little bit of facts get in the way of your ignorant rant though.

Actually we have always known the meaning of the phrase which is why we laugh hysterically when you morons keep using it.  I would much rather be on the giving end of the teabagging session vs. being on the slurping receiving end. Open up big boy for your teabagging.

Here is the first news coverage of the modern day Tea Party that I could find (2007):

Blond math….11.3 trillion to 14.3 trillion=doubling the debt, right?  Maybe what she meant was 5.95 trillion to 11.3 trillion but that was under Bush so…..eh, she just got the wrong president. Typical blond.

Maher is more Lenny Bruce than Bob Hope.

Negative. California has more republican residents than most other states. As well, red states are not making jobs…you’ve gone and either read utterly erroneous misinformation, or are, flat out, consciously lying.

“ I would much rather be on the giving end of the teabagging session vs. being on the slurping receiving end”

I realize you would much rather be on the giving end. I guess it’s all right to dream.

Could you two take your pajama party off line please? The guy was paying hookers and ruined his career. Bravo.

Bill Maher is spot on as usual. And the baggers and plutos know it. That’s what pisses them off. Elliot Spitzer is really intelligent. The blonde is one of those right- wing shrill’s yelling all the time. The tea party guy seems like a really nice guy but he is a dumb as a bag of rocks. Kinda felt bad for him cause they were embarrassing him. He could hardly say anything but damn he is dumb. But a great show as usual.   President Obama, show leadership by going to the 14th. Excellent article as why he can    http://www.nytimes.com/2011/07/25/us/politics/25legal.html?_r=1

you are mistaken. He advised Obama on foreign policy in the middle east. Obama has taken out almost 3 times as many Al-quida (sic) out with drones in his 3 years more than Bush did in his 8 years. God forbid we don’t get hit again. Oh, don’t for about bin-Laden which really pissed off you righties. Patriotic aren’t you.

democruds are National socialist, the cult should be banned then broken up.
Most democruds are of eastern European origin, displaced by WWII perhaps they could be deported to their native lands.
( plus thousands of soviet agents who all joined the democrud party)
ps…Bill Mahar is a piece of shit just like all democruds

Something in the bleach I suppose, since Blond hair is a sign of higher intelligence.

Rusty, the American people started the tea party not Paul u jackass. Their are no tea party leaders it’s like a flash mob.

Bill Maher is a dumb asshole,  Barack Obama is an incompetent failure, the media didn’t do it’s job in 2008, and the left is a bunch of gullible fools.

Who, the teabaggers. They are as dumn as a bag of rocks and everyone knows it.

Learn your history idiot. Instead of the lies you hear from MSNBC, CNN, CBS, and ABC

Even a weak, non-inspiring Mitt Romney will have no problem mopping the floor with President Wet Blanket by the time of next year’s election.

They just drove the whole debt-ceiling debate right to the direction they wanted it to go, didn’t they, genius?

Fact: Say no to drugs liar! Boarder crossing dropouts are California’s problem. Full of demarodents that’s why they can’t balance debt!

I guess if you leave your money on the dresser on the way out, that makes you an “old-school Democrat.”  Right, Bill Maher?

Bill Maher could fall off a cliff, and I wouldn’t shed a tear for him, that stinking fucking Marxist loon.

FUCK BILL MAHER!
