Jon Stewart Talks Tough To GOP Base: ‘Your Candidates Aren’t The Problem – It’s You’

video
» 319 comments

Today was Jon Stewart‘s first time at bat since last Thursday’s Republican debate on Fox News, and he left no stone unturned in analyzing the aftermath of the debate. Yes, Stewart chided the crowd for allegedly booing after a question by a gay soldier in Iraq. He tore Rick Perry apart for sounding high when taking on Mitt Romney. But no candidate got hit harder than the Republican base itself for being consistently dissatisfied with its candidates, now apparently setting its hopes on New Jersey Governor Chris Christie.

After an extensive mockery of the fact that we have had a debate a week for a good month, Stewart began taking down each candidate in turn. To Rick Santorum‘s response to the gay soldier in question asking about Don’t Ask Don’t Tell– a policy Santorum would reinstate– Stewart didn’t exactly have any jokes, modestly asking “what planet do you f*cking live on?” and griping, “this guy is an idiot!” Stewart didn’t go as far as to call Perry an idiot, but imagined him saying to himself “I nailed it… I can’t believe my advisers told me not to get high during this debate.” And then there was Chris Christie, who isn’t even a real candidate, but proved that no one really wanted Mitt Romney to win the nomination.

“It’s like the Republican primary is a season of American Idol in reverse, where every week you just add some new idiot,” he joked. But it wasn’t Christie’s fault he was getting dragged in to Stewart. “Your candidates aren’t the problem– it’s you,” he told the base.

    I’ve been saying this for the past few days, and I’ll say it again, the Republicans have a serious problem. Even with Obama at a very low point, the Republicans can’t find a candidate who, in reality, can beat him. Even the most plausible of the lot, Romney, will not be able to attract the majority of voters. No matter how many flip flops, no matter how many twists and turns these candidates make, they’re all a bunch of losers because the Republicans do not have any ideas or a program that will help. Cutting taxes, cutting defecits, cutting important government services such as Social Security and Medicaire but not the military, no stimulus, etc. – this is not a winning strategy. The Republicans have put so much energy into deligitimitizing government that they don’t have a clue on how to successfully run a government. Not even Christie will make it simply because he comes from one of the saner states where liberal/progressive views are popular, and he would alienate many rightwingers and fundamentalists. The public is catching on and will be much more punishing of the Republicans come election time in 2012

  • Michelle

    Keep sayin it.  The republicans can’t find a candidate?  Not one you’d like, that’s for certain.  I have no doubt the republicans will find one.  

    Mind pointing out Obama’s winning strategy – somehow I missed it.

  • Michelle

    via Gallup:

    Sixty-two percent of U.S. registered voters say they would definitely
    vote for Mitt Romney or would consider doing so, a higher percentage
    than say this about Barack Obama (54%) or Rick Perry (53%).

    Time to start facing the facts, libbies.  The One is toast.

    STEWART: Am I an activist in your mind, an ideological partisan activist?
    WALLACE: Yes.
    STEWART: OK. Then I disagree with you.
    Yes, Stewart isn’t at all a activist. He’s only spent the past week trying to tear into EVERY republican candidate or candidate hopeful. Now, he is just directly attacking republican voters. This is now the 4th time this month he has made the claim that republicans hate science. Implying, as he always does, that republicans/conservatives are less intelligent. 
    Also, how many times has this guy played the clip of people cheering about their support of the death penalty at the republican debate. Meanwhile, his audience goes crazy cheering anytime he mentions anything to do with marijuana. Yes, so brilliant and advanced. Give me a break

  • Guest

    Actually, the Republicans do an excellent job of rallying their party members to their cause and maintaining near universal ideological orthodoxy, so I suspect any Republican candidate will be able to get most Republican votes.  I’m just no sure that those votes will all be enough for their candidate to win.  It all depends on voter turnout; I’d bet that whichever party is best able to convince its base that their views and interests are under attack will win.  Assuming either party can convince those voters to get off of their butts and vote when so many people are losing faith in their government, representatives, and party.

    I also suspect a lot of independents will just vote for the candidate whose party they hate least.  It may end up being about which party they blame for all the ridiculous brinksmanship in Congress lately.  That’s definitely going to backfire on someone.

    I kind of think you’re right on the Mormon thing; I know far too many conservative evangelicals that are worried they “won’t be able to vote for a Mormon,” and most of the people in question are die-hard Republicans.  I’m not sure whether their xenophobia towards Mormons will win out over their hatred of Democrats, but it’ll be interesting to find out.

    Maybe you can help me out, how is it that using the term “Teabagger” is any less offensive than using terms like N***er or Raghead?  Do people who use the Teabagger term think of it as payback at Grandma and 10 year old’s because they don’t agree with you.  You know the slang and you know what it means.  What is the difference, other than you are using it.
    If I came up to you and said that your grandmother likes sucking my balls, what would be your reaction.  And yet, every time that term is used, that is exactly the sort of slur you mean.  It is truly sad. 

    So, if Obama loses this election, and right now it is not looking good for him, what will the excuse be, all those “ball suckers” could not take a black man?  What if he loses to Herman Cain,  will it be that the “ball suckers” thought Mr. Cain had a bigger dick than Mr. Obama?  Do you see how absurd this is getting?

  • Rex the Wonder God

    Certs is a breath mint – Certs is a candy mint – STTTTOOOOPPPP! You’re BOTH right.

    Ahem: what research shows is actually a little more complicated that the over-simplified conclusions partisans prefer to lift from accredited studies. There’s a series of arc and swoops that intersect, showing that in some demographics hi-IQ Dems proliferate, and in others, Repubs are more common. Repubs tend to be relatively more highly informed on issues that matter to conservatives, and sometimes even those that matter to liberals; but VERY high information voters trend more strongly Dem, and very LOW information voters ALSO trend more strongly Dem. 

    So the issue on distinctions isn’t intelligence, or at least not generally, and if it were, each side could make an argument in favor of their own preference being ‘smarter’.

    What the real issue comes down to is authoritarianism: Repubs love them some authoritarians, and Dems love them some nanny state. It’s partly a child-rearing thing, and partly which major party your parents supported. Americans THINK they make independent decisions in the voting booth, and I expect some of them are accurate; but MOST Americans don’t so much switch party allegiances as they just choose between voting their usual way or not voting at all. But Repubs, being authoritarians, love voting more, because they love voting for authoritarians more than Dems care for voting just to vote. Dems vote out of approval and some misguided sense of love; Repubs votes out of disapproval and some warped sense of hate, so a riled-up electorate mostly cedes to the Repubs, and a kumbayah electorate mostly gets swamped by the hopey changey thing. People SAY love not hate, but hatred is really quite persistent and sustainable, and tends to say on focus. 

    This issue gets a little confused when one factors in libertarians, who turn out to be pretty unpredictable as to which of the two major parties they hate the least. But they don’t end up mattering at all, because where they don’t even each other out, libertarians tend to vote for third party candidates.

    Chris Christie has no chance of becoming President, unless he loses a bunch of weight. Rush Limbaugh sabotaged Christie in the 2008 primaries, before he knew that Christie was going to, someday, be a presidential candidate. It’s on the record, and it will be used by Democratic strategists.

    Christie’s only chance, is to get on Limbaugh’s 2009 “It’s not a ruse!” diet. According to the “Maha Rushie”, Christie has just over a year, to get his body down to an electable weight.

    Plus, Christie not only has to worry about hilarious videos like this one by Jon Stewart, he also has to worry about serious videos, concerning his health, as well. Clips from this one are bound to show up in campaign ads too.

    I can see Romney beating Obama if he manages to stay above the say outrageous things to the base strategy most of the other candidates are going for and Obama keeps shooting himself square in the foot over and over again. The problem is I don’t see him getting the nod. The republican party has backed into a corner that I don’t know if they can get out of.

    If that were remotely true, you could have made a cogent, intellectual rebuttal that successfully refuted the assertions that were made. Instead, you chose to use a one line ad hominem response, because it is all you’ve got. The assertions made are rock solid, valid, and impossible to refute, because they are true.

    You truly don’t understand do you?  Stewart has a way of saying the same stupid stuff you guys say, but in a “funny” way.  That doesn’t make it right!  He is just as dense as any far left fool.

    He sums up what is wrong with all this back and forth.  It’s getting no one no where fast.  Stewart has been appointed to push the left’s agenda humorously.  Well, I don’t watch him – don’t find the funny version any truer than the unfunny version.  I wouldn’t be surprised if he also gets talking points on his blackberry (like Mika).  There is more at play here than what we see.  

    The Obama Admin has shown that they are not happy with the rhetoric and have no problem making sure that their version is the only version.  From google on down – it’s all tainted.

    Go BACK to DADT where sex didn’t matter? It most certainly did matter. That’s why thousands of soldiers serving well and honorably were discharged when it was discovered they were gay. That’s what was idiotic about Santorum’s answer, and for some reason that got cheers and applause.

    the process of picking a leader is no different than what you guys went through.  Seriously, quit trying to portray the left as being any “different” than the right.  

    You guys made it a reality show.  If everyone running felt exactly the same about every issue than it would be a rather silly process wouldn’t it?  You’d pick the one who dressed best, had the deepest/highest voice, blah blah.  

    You seem to be very concerned about how and how many.  It doesn’t matter does it?  To you, it really shouldn’t matter.  

    We pick according to how we personally feel about issues that are important to us and which candidate feels similarly to us.  What a shock!

    You don’t seem to realize that the right represents my position – not the left.  For you it’s the opposite so of course you love Jon.  I don’t rightly care – I just recall his great protestation on his not being a political pundit.  You were all defending him on that and yet – here you all are, supporting what he supports; finding his synopsis right on.  

    You guys are hypocrites and spend your lives denying you are and yet you prove it with every story, every comment.

    I thought his bit going to camera 3 to the GOP base was a bit much, but that clip of Christie talking about the crazies was pretty dam priceless.
    IMO the problem isn’t that one or two jerks booed a gay soldier, but it’s a least worth noting that not one candidate called them on it. Were they wearing a flag pin? And then Santorum’s incoherent BS was cheered by a lot more than one or two, and the death penalty was cheered by a lot more than one or two. What’s up with that?
    I remember after Obama speech on race JS said “In a surprising turn of events today, a presidential candidate spoke to us as if we were adults”

    Rather than constantly speaking to the down to the bottom and being afraid of offending them maybe our candidates can encourage the masses to think things through.

    Did anyone know where Obama really stood on DOMA,Late Term Abortion,The constitution,nuclear,social justice Did anyone ask him where are your school records,your articles when you were president of the Harvard Law review?
    The only thing I could find were articles was at Columbia “breaking the war mentality”  the group was named SAM Students against militarism.they joined with ARA Arms race alternatives, SANE students against nuclear energy.They had speakers such as Daniel Ellsberg according to Obama’s column, They also were fighting the Solomon Bill

    One of the earliest political histories I remember reading was on why it took Dwight Eisenhower so long to condemn Joe McCarthy and his destructive, bullying “investigations” during the Red Scare years. I can’t now be sure just where I read it, but I remember the mounting sense among Eisenhower’s admirers that he was shaming himself by not taking a stand (and indeed for campaigning with McCarthy during the 1952 election). Ike finally turned on McCarthy late in 1953, after McCarthy began attacking the patriotism of Army officers and challenged Ike’s own Secretary of the Army.

    Why do 80% vote for socialists? Because the state is overrun with parasites in and out of government. BTW, if you look at a voting map of New York by county, it’s virtually all red except where the parasites congregate in cities like New York City, Albany, and Buffalo.

    If New York is doing so well, what are people and businesses fleeing by the THOUSANDS every year? Why is New York LOSING 2 house seats? I never cease to laugh at how New Yorkers fancy themselves and tough and street smart, yet they apparently need to be led around by nose by some worthless government drone and vote for politicians who lord over their every move. We go to Myrtle Beach quite a bit, and my kids couldn’t believe it when they saw stores that sold fireworks or people riding motorcycles without a helmet. I told them that’s called FREEDOM, as opposed to the dreary nanny state that is the People’s Republic of New York. Frankly, it’s laughable to an outsider (I’ve been here over 20 years and can’t wait to flee back to America when my youngest finally escapes the grip of the local government education gulag), but I guess you have to tell yourselves how great you are as a psychological defense mechanism.

I find it amazing that such sophisticated voters would actually choose someone who’s not only never had a real job, but never even aspired to be a productive member of society and spent his entire life, childhood included, hanging around with anti-American scum bags. The man barely figured out where the Senate men’s room was when he had a messianic delusion that he was somehow qualified to be President. Yeah, you libs are REALLY smart. LMAO…

    Jan 2013 can’t come soon enough.

    I work in the hedge fund industry and have done VERY well over the years, thank you very much. 

    You’re one of those parasites, aren’t timb?

  • Little Jonny Leibowitz

    Clean out a welfare office and who do you think the parasites on BOTH sides of the desk would ALL vote for (hint: the same person YOU would vote for)?

     As long as the rednecks aren’t voting for people who are more than happy to put a gun to my head, steal half of what I earn and tell me how much water I can use to flush my toilet, what kind of car I can drive, and what kind of light bulbs I can use, that’s fine by me. Why do liberals need to be lorded over like children their entire lives? Why are you so scared of freedom?

    So let me ask you Leedog, what is it that you have in common with the parasites that leads you to vote the same way they do? Just curious…

    You think the rednecks don’t take welfare? Hell, the party you like because they want you to drink poison water and breathe poison air is full of old fuckers who do nothing but collect SS and Medicare. The companies you worship spend millions lobbying the government for contracts.

  • http://mediamatters.org/ Leedog

    I personally believe a battle of class warfare is being waged on the middle-class, and they are losing!! The middle-class create jobs through consumption of products!! Corporations are too worried about extreme profits, stock values and shipping jobs overseas!!

    If you lost your job, wouldn’t you like to go on unemployment, which you probably have paid into for years, until you were able to get a job?? That doesn’t make you a “parasite!!”

  • Little Jonny Leibowitz

    I have no doubt that the redneck parasites on welfare vote just like you.

    Yeah, we all want to drink poison water and breath poison air… LMAO

    So what flavor of worthless government drone are you timb?

    Nearly half of all Americans contribute little or nothing to the cost of the Federal government. Do you consider them parasites Leedog? If not, why not?

    Myrtle Beach… not bad!! Nashville, you must like country music!!

    Obama is not perfect!!

    George Bush was not perfect!!

    The Republicon nominees are not perfect!!

    It’s about weighing the scales on who would be worse, and since I’m a Democrat, I think Republicons are worse!! I’m sure you think the exact opposite!!

    Dear Little Jonny Leibowitz, Listen, you live in New York and you make a lot of money in the hedge fund business. I work in a similar business. We make good money because we’re in a city of great opportunity which gives us the structure and support to make good money. You should be a little bit more appreciative and grateful. New York runs on good capitalistic/socialistic principles. We have the best transportation system in the world and have had intelligent city planning, and New York is one of the safest American cities. New York is a great enriching environment to raise kids if you can afford to be here. New York attracts many of the best and brightest from all over the world. New York City has actually been gaining population over the past years. There have been times when I’ve gotten by on very little  and appreciated New York’s good schools, public hospitals and great libraries. I hope you are happy when you do move to South Carolina where there’s ‘more freedom’ and you can ride your motorcycle without a helmut (you lucky guy!) and your children can blow up their legal fireworks. And you wonder why we’re concerned about your rightwing concept of what freedom really means.

    timb116,
    After 13 years of primary and secondary school, four years of College, and four years of law school, and still you can not read.
    Boehner clearly spells out the ideas of his plan. In case you missed the highlights:
    Empower Small Business Owners and Reduce Regulatory Burdens:
    Require congressional review and approval of any government regulations that have a significant impact on the economy or burden small businesses.Audit existing and pending regulations to identify and address those that hinder economic growth.
    Fix the Tax Code to Help Job Creators:
    Increase American competitiveness to spur investment and create more American jobs by streamlining the tax code and lowering the tax rate for businesses and individuals including small business owners to no more than 25%.Reform the tax code to allow American businesses to bring back their overseas profits without having to pay a tax penalty so they can invest in our economy and create American jobs.
    Increase Competitiveness for American Manufacturers:
    Pass the three pending free trade agreements with Colombia, Panama, and South Korea to create up to 250,000 jobs.Continue to open new markets to American made products.
    Encourage Entrepreneurship and Growth:
    Modernize our patent system to protect our nation’s innovators, discourage frivolous lawsuits, and expedite patent reviews.Re-Authorize and improve federal programs and approval processes to streamline development of new products. Remove barriers to building a first class workforce so that the United States can compete in the global marketplace and lead the way in technological development and growth.
    Maximize Domestic Energy Production to Ensure an Energy Policy for the 21st Century:
    Promote lower energy prices through increased domestic production. Encourage all forms of energy production.
    Pay Down America’s Unsustainable Debt Burden and Start Living Within our Means:
    Build upon the House Republicans’ Budget by enacting significant spending cuts.http://www.gop.gov/indepth/jobs/theplan
    The funniest part of your whole entire worthless argument is that the EPA does not even appear once in those highlights. In the entire ten page Republican plan the EPA is mentioned once:
    “Background: The House has already acted on several regulations that hurt job creators both large and small including:  The EPA’s regulation of greenhouse gases, the Federal Communications Commission’s net neutrality proposal, and duplicative and burdensome pesticide regulations.”- The House Republican Plan for America’s Job Creators.
    Uh..Hello McFly, that is an example of what has already taken place, not what should happen going forward. You can return to drooling in the corner again to come up with your next lie.

    timb116,
    Why must you lie so?
    1952 Election- President D.D. Eisenhower, House Rep., Senate Rep., 83rd Congress.
    1954 Election- House and Senate go Democrat, 64th Congress.
    1980 Election- President Ronald Reagen, House Dem., Senate Rep., 97th Congress
    1982 Election- House and Majorities remain as previous Congress, 98th Congress.
    1984 Election- Reagen retains WH, Congressional majorities remain, 99th Congress
    1986 Election- Congress goes to Majority Democrat, 100th Congress.
    1988 Election- GHW Bush wins White House Dems retain all of Congress.
    1990 Election- Dems retain all of Congress.
    2004 Election- GW Bush wins WH, Republicans take control of Congress.
    2006 Election-  Dems take both houses of Congress.
    So you mean to tell me that both Eisenhower and Bush 43 both had control of all three, the WH, House , and Senate, but yet you claim it only happened once (can you say LIAR)? Was it the 1952 or the 2004 election that featured “old, angry ass white people”?
    I love the ‘Hannibal’ Smith moments. (Fans of the ’80s A-Team will get that).

    At least people in the audience were aghast according to your version of events.  Those on the stage, you know, the candidates actually proposing to America the reasons why they should be elected the leader of this nation, had NOT ONE WORD to say about the booing audience member reactions to a gay soldier.

    The reason none of the republican candidates seem plausible to members of their own party is because the republican platform itself is untenable.  It seeks to benefit too few and even with a 24/7 propaganda network devoted to the entitlements of 1 percent of the population it is still a hard sell.  Up on stage it sounds ludicrous at best; with extremist audience members audible background fx it is becomes terrifying.

  • Little Jonny Leibowitz

    Dear ganymede, spoken like a brainwashed lifelong resident of PRNY. I don’t know about you, but I make what I make because of my skill set and I could make the same in any major city where there is a significant presence of the financial industry. Best transportation system in the world? You obviously don’t get out much because it’s an embarrassment compared to what I’ve seen around the world. Been to La Guardia or JFK lately? Do you know how much a monthly train ticket from the hinterlands costs these days? Did you know that the state steals money from EVERY business in the counties surrounding the MTA train corridor (West Chester, Dutchess, Rockland, Orange, etc) because the drones have bankrupted the system, even if you NEVER use the train? Good schools? Most schools are sh!tholes that have been destroyed by the unions. Ever heard of the “rubber rooms” where incompetent teachers spend YEARS collecting full pay waiting to retire and rob the taxpayer for DECADES because they can’t be fired? But hey, if you think paying an elementary school gym teacher close to $100K and giving them a decades long paid vacation in excess of $80K FOR LIFE makes a great school system, then I suppose it’s wonderful. We’ll ignore the fact that kids are dumber than ever (as are the teachers). What other state do you think has a .75% mortgage tax? I could go on for DAYS, but what’s the point?  You need to tell yourself how great it is to justify how badly you KNOW you’re being ripped off at every turn. But you stay put and dig a little deeper to make sure the all the thousands of former drones who’ve fled to Myrtle Beach, Naples, etc can sleep well at night in their second home knowing that the check will ALWAYS be in the mail.

    I, on the other hand, can’t get out of this cesspool fast enough. Unfortunately, it’s going to be VERY difficult to sell my house because there are only so many buyers in that price range and NO ONE is buying today, especially because of the ridiculous property taxes necessary to support all those elementary art teachers we’re forced to pay WELL OVER $100K for every year.

    And don’t wonder why the rest of America is concerned about your leftist concept of what freedom means. The reason New Yorkers aren’t welcome elsewhere in the country is because other states don’t want you to screw up their state just like you did to New York. It’s ironic that the FIRST thing all the government drones who’ve hit that pot of taxpayer gold at the end of the rainbow do is flee to a “red” state that HASN’T let the drones bankrupt it. Ironic indeed…

    Just 28 percent of Americans hold favorable views of the tea party, an
    all-time low in the 19 months that CNN/ORC pollsters have gauged
    Americans’ feelings about the movement. At the same time, 53 percent of
    Americans think poorly of the tea party, an all-time high. According to
    CNN/ORC, the movement’s popularity peaked in the spring of 2010, when 38
    percent of Americans said they liked the tea party and only 36 percent
    said they didn’t.
