Mountain Dew is extreme

Paul is rapidly becoming Enemy #1. Good work, Rand!

The tea party is losing its luster. It was only a matter of time.

Rand, I think they might be extreme, the new Poll shows their decline in the court of public opinion.

How are the Dems poll numbers in the House and Senate doing??? Chuck getting caught in “cheap gimmickry” is apparently OK by you. Try and argue what Rand actually said in the interview.

Schumer’s telephone conversation revealed the Dims for what they are, a bunch of cowards.

Son, the Repubs got in less than 3 months ago- hardly ancient compared to Barry’s 2 years of failure!

Try again!

Right after the Republican party launches Boehner ( the jury is still out on McConnell ) the new leadership ought to immediately court Rand as the vice presidential half of the 2012 ticket.

His no nonsense, ” real ‘ American, matter of fact personality and demeanor is just what this country needs representing America’s and our true allies ideals and interests around the world.

I believe he being an example of ‘ American excellence ‘ himself, is a natural to repair the damage having an un American, possibly not American combatent in Barack Obama occupying our White House for four years.

Giving someone a hammer doesn’t make that person a carpenter. Rand Paul arrived at the senate in a clown car and one crayon in his box – as a Senator he’d make a great clown. As for his run for president, Rand has every potential of moving Goober W. Bush to second place in the “Worst President in History” category.

CNN Poll: Unfavorable view of tea party on the rise
mug.cnnpolitics By: CNN Political Unit

Washington (CNN) – Nearly half of all Americans have an unfavorable view of the tea party movement, putting it in the same company as the Democratic and Republican parties, according to a new national poll.

A CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey released Wednesday indicates that 32 percent of the public has a favorable view of the two year old anti-tax movement, which also calls for less government spending and a more limited role for the federal government in our lives. The 32 percent favorable rating is down five points from December.

Forty-seven percent of people questioned say they have an unfavorable view of the tea party, up four points from December and an increase of 21 points from January 2010. That 47 percent is virtually identical to the 48 percent unfavorable ratings for both the Democratic party and the Republican party in the same poll.

“This is the first time that a CNN poll has shown the tea party’s unfavorable ratings as high as those of the two major parties,” says CNN Polling Director Keating Holland. “It looks like the rise in the movement’s unfavorable rating has come mostly among people who make less than $50,000.”

Back to the original topic, before it digressed into PeeWee Herman land…

It appears Rand and the rest of his buddies (Both Sides Now) should spend less time in front of the cameras sniping at each other and get to work. After a post-election baby bump, it appears the nation’s satisfaction with our elected representatives is heading back south. It might have something to do with all the promises made pre-election and the total lack of movement post election:

That tells you all you need to know about his veracity or lack thereof.

Obamo IS the most anti-business president EVER. His ‘laser-like focus on Jobs’ was focused ONLY on ‘guv-mint’ jobs, as we clearly saw. ‘Recovery Summer’ was a joke, boasted about by our Joke of a VP.

skyfet said:

I think you are looking at the wrong polls. Try this one about your boy Obama.

POLL SHOWS OBAMA AT ALL TIME LOW.

President Barack Obama’s approval rating and prospects for reelection have plunged to all-time lows in a Quinnipiac University poll released Wednesday.
Half of the registered voters surveyed for the poll think that the president does not deserve a second term in office, while 41 percent say he does. In another Quinnipiac poll released just four weeks ago, 45 percent said the president did not deserve reelection, while 47 percent said he did.
The decline in support for a second Obama term comes as his approval rating has dropped 4 percentage points since early March, landing at 42 percent – a record low – in the poll released Wednesday. His disapproval rating has risen from 46 percent to 48 percent.
The downward shift may in part be the result of dissatisfaction over U.S involvement in Libya, with 47 percent of those surveyed saying they oppose it. By a margin of 58 percent to 29 percent, registered voters said that Obama has not clearly stated U.S. goals for the mission.
The poll as conducted March 22-28 and surveyed 2,069 registered voters. The error margin is plus or minus 2.2 percentage points.

gordonbloyershow said:

The 41% saying he does are easy to find; they’re the ones sitting on their porch waiting for ‘titlement checks. And, of course, union hacks everywhere.

Color Me Badd said:

LOL, you need to stop the nonsense about polls that just poll adults and not likely voters.

Notice this poll is of likely voters.

Republicans hold just a four-point lead over Democrats on the Generic Congressional Ballot for the week ending March 27, 2011. It’s the GOP’s smallest lead since early October 2010.

A new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey finds that 43% of Likely U.S. Voters nationwide say they would vote for their district’s Republican congressional candidate, while 39% would choose the Democrat instead. Republican support is down two points from last week.

The United States is BROKE! We are in debt $14.3 TRILLION. Since -0bama has been in office, our debt has risen by >$1.3 TRILLION. Now he has engaged us in a war of choice that costs us some $55 BILLION per DAY!

GOP/Teabagger extreme measures will just push more people to rely on government help for food and medicine. And it won’t do anything to help the Budget. When you cut WIC you will create more babies that will need medical attention. Cutting food inspection programs will lead to more people needing medical help.

You’re a piece of work, dude, and a racist to boot. I don’t like Barack because he’s an idiot with some very dangerous tendencies, like hanging with the Weather Underground and worshiping ol’ Karl and Saul Alinsky. The fact that he wants the US to be just another country is beside the point. Rand Paul isn’t an extremist, nor were GWB, Cheney, Rumsfeld, et al.

They’re exactly where your boy Barack meant for them to go…down the drain. Anti-business, pro-union, anti-capitalist, in so far over his head he can’t see daylight. That’s where your jobs are, Heidi. Before Senator Present won American Idol and advanced to the presidency, you can thank Pelosi and Reid and their lieutenants for tanking the economy. In 2006, unemployment was 5% or less. Dems come in and it goes Tango-Uniform. Stick that in your bong and take a puff, dear.

With all the gamesmanship we play here set aside for a moment, I just have to believe that even Democrats know their party has taken America to the brink of destruction. There’s no denying the extreme unemployment, extreme debt, and skyrocketing prices for energy and food.

So, fronting you Democrats credit for NOT being complete idiots for not noticing the problems in America that have piled-on since your party took power in 2006, the question arises: Is Rand Paul right? Is your party truly more important than the well-being of your country?

This is a serious question and an opportunity for you to have me stop using terms like “Democrit” and “anti-American Liberal,” depending on your answer (if you even care to answer).

Unpopular with those that suck the most from the system and don’t vote anyway, oh damn the Tea Party is really in trouble.

Sen. Rand Paul: ‘What Schumer, Democrats Are Doing To This Country Is Extreme’

Paul is right.
Ever since the Dem’s took control of the house and senate (With the help of the progressive Bush and “liberal” Obama) they have only been destroying this economy and slowly taking away our right’s little by little.( As the establishment Repub’s have before them)

Not much can get done when the Republicans do nothing but filibuster. Republicans could careless how many people get hurt, so long as the president looks weak. They even filibustered the 9/11 victims!!

Yoda, I just don’t see it that way–that Republicans could care less how many people get hurt–but that doesn’t mean the Republicans are in any way off the hook with me. BOTH parties have their infamous boondoggles, and I’m not going to seek to excuse ANYONE. What I ask is that you look at reality:

The US is in debt up to its eyeballs and that debt MUST be reduced, or our kids and grandkids will never know the USA that I believe we BOTH love.

What I see a vast majority of politicians doing–at least the progressives–is playing both sides against the middle–they point fingers at one another and keep the majority of dunderheads “out there” with their bowels in an uproar about the “other side” when, in fact, they’re the “same” side.

Everytime I think of all the pork projects that have eroded the treasury, all the “black budget” boondoggles that you and I will probably never know about, all the wars of choice, and all the bloating of Federal government that has gone on over the dacades that I have been aware of things (that’s a long time ’cause I’m three days older than dirt), I want to scream at people and tell them to wake up–BOTH sides are screwing us over. It’s frustrating to see so darned many good people get suckered in by partisan politics.

The way I see it, we’re totally up against the wall whereas our future as a great country is concerned, and I’m praying that this new bunch of fiscal conservatives don’t allow themselves to be co-opted by the tenured in the Congress and Senate.

So, you can shout–and rightfully so, perhaps–all you want to about the filibusters of the past. Just remember that those are “the past,” and it’s now time to move on and for the both of us to do what we know is right for our country. I hope you will do a little filibustering of your own when you hear about millions of your dollars going to crapola projects.

Addendum

Other thing I believe would help this country are to:

1. Audit the Federal Reserve System and then close it down, followed up by getting rid of the fiat currency that is the Federal Reserve Note, and back our currency up with precious metals. Initially, this would hurt like a kick in the crotch on a cold morning, but things would eventually get better.

2. Pass a balanced budget Amendment to the Constitution, that would require a balanced budget in NOT MORE THAN five years. This would protect future generations until our “elected servants” figured out a way to get around it.

3. Make the United States a manufacturing giant again by easing up on the regulations that have driven the best parts of our industries offshore, and neuter these damned labor unions that have driven wages higher than they need to be. Make “Made in the USA” a message that anything with that mark on it means its the best in the world.

Audit the Fed. Then take it away from Wall Street. It’s another case of corporate incest like the MIC Eisenhower warned us of. Do NOT base our currency on any commodity that can be manipulated (See the Hunt Bros. and the silver market). Base it on the productive capacity of the nation.
Forget the BBA, it is just BS. No one but a hermit lives without debt. Do you have a mortgage? A car loan? A Credit Card Balance? Student Loans? The world runs on credit.
Rebuild the manufacturing base by encouraging the end to the off-shoring of production. Rewrite the tax code to boost domestic growth. Set Alternative Minimum Taxes for Corporations similar to those on individuals. No GE or Exxon should escape all taxes,
Balance the game by taking the cost of health insurance out of the price of a car.

That would lead to a third world country. We tried that back in the 1880′s and 1890′s This Republicans don’t understand economics too well.

Ahhh Fox and Friends. Now there is a place where an extremist and liar like Rand Paul can feel right at home. Hearing an extremist like him calling anything extreme is far beyond the fringe and proof positive that teabaggers are those who comprised the fringe extremist elements of the GOP. Thanks to the teabagger movement, the GOP as been split apart back into 2 of its original camps. On one side you have the wealthy elitest country club republicans who have done everything in their power to own the US government via their lobbyists. On the other side we see the stupid rednecked sunday school republicans who mix twisted religious views with twisted political views (teabaggers). However, not to worry folks. The GOP will most likely make another deal with the devil to get these two incestuous groups of anti-American extremists back together in bed just in time for the 2012 election.

Who owns the Federal Reserve now? The answer is “no one knows.” I’m not saying that it’s always better to deal “with the devil you know” but with the Fed, we are definitely dealing with the devil we do NOT know–we don’t “know” them at all. (Read “Creature from Jeckyl Island,” and it will scare you out of your wits!

No one lives without debt? Then I must be a hermit–I own five cars, three homes, and pay all my credit cards to a zero balance every month. Not bragging, it’s just the way I do business. But, as it turns out, I have excellent credit, and my personal fiscal responsibility is why I do. The credit card for the US is overdrawn and will soon be cancelled. NO ONE will be there to get the US off the hook!

I do agree that no corporation should get off the hook where taxes are concerned, and the fact that GE ran up a $5 BILLIION profit on their P&L shows me why the IRS should be stomped into the dirt and a Fair Tax be instituted–with a fair tax in place even the pimps and drug dealers would pay their fair share.

So, you agree with me that we should discourage corporations from moving offshore? Right on! But ask yourself this: Why did they move offshore? Answer: The US has the 2nd highest corporate taxes in the civilized world, labor costs are unrealistically high, and corporations–especially manufacturers are over regulated. When was the last TV manufactured in the US? Answer: Circa 1975. Why? The EPA. Also, ask yourself why there have been NO new refineries built in the US since 1970. Answer: Again, the EPA. Did you know it is still technically IMPOSSIBLE to meet the EPA standards for emissions on refineries and steel mills (another disappearing enterprise)? The existing refineries and few remaining foundries and mills are still allowed to operate in the US but they pay a fine to the EPA every single day they operate.

I recall the Hunt brothers ponzi scheme and a lot of suckers got fleeced BUT at no time was silver worthless. Since then, laws have been enacted to prevent another Hunt brothers scam, and that is a good thing, but you forget that the amount of silver, gold, platinum, etc. is FINITE. Today, silver scraped up against the $38 mark and its going to go higher–not because silver will be worth more but because the dollar will be worth LESS. You see, even though the amount of paper is currently finite, we can always grow more trees and print more worthless currency. I tried my damnedest to get Reagan to put the US back on the silver standard back ~1986 when silver was on the spot market for ~$2.70. How would that have played out with the US dollar being worth ELEVEN times today what it was then instead of being worth 0.63 what it was then???? As I said, the dollar is worthless and it’s becoming worth less every day!

I would have to think more about your idea to deduct the price of healthcare insurance from one’s taxable income, but if one “ain’t got skin in the game,” one is more prone to ignore the cost of their healthcare insurance by thinking “well, our rich uncle has got me covered.” The fact is, we are our own “rich uncle,” and we’d only be moving money from our right pocket to our left pocket, PLUS the government would be there to skim a little off the top! Perhaps a better idea is to get the tort lawyers completely out of the game by limiting restitution when a medical procedure goes awry, allowing insurance companies to compete fairly across the board–instead of being restricted to only a few states, which, admittedly, is a farce concocted by insurance companies putting state legislators into their pockets with bribes–and limiting the amount of elective procedures (e.g. botox injections, facelifts, genital enhancements) that insurance companies have to pay for. I don’t understand your thoughts on taking the price of health insurance out of the price of a car–not everyone has a car.

We have been reading different history books.

Somebody with the last name “Paul” calling people “extreme”. He and his Dad live in theoretical lala land.

Is his name pronounced “skummer”?
