      BQI I went to your website and to be honest it saddened me to see how misinformed the voters were about who said what and how dangerous Pelosi, Reid and Frank are. I appreciate websites like yours trying to educate and inform voters about the truth. The MSM should be held accountable for the propaganda they spread.

      Couldn’t agree more, Take! If you don’t pay taxes, you have no business electing the people who spend our tax money. If you are on government assistance, you should not have a say in how those systems are run.

      I encourage everyone to take a video camera or cell phone to your polling station on Nov 3rd. I’d like to see videos sent to the press of all the busses that will be flowing into some polling stations. I guarantee the union army has been mobilized, and Acorn is ready with thier list of deceased voters that will all take part in this next election. When these people are openly scared of losing thier power, there is no telling what is going to happen at the polls.

      Not all of the people who are getting assistance are getting it because they can get it. Not everyone who is being foreclosed on took a liar loan. Sorting out the good from the bad would take a huge government agency, we don’t need more of that crap. I personally know a few people who are getting assistance, that I want voting in November. I think you are being a little hasty, the answer is an unimpeded free market and jobs.

      @troyvar You keep saying an unimpeded free market works. Who exactly does it work for? The only thing its done is make the rich richer and the poor poorer. I think we need much tighter regulation to stop people from destroying the middle class.

      Sorry weall, history has proven you wrong. A free open market allows everyone to prosper, your idea of tight regulation and government control of everything only perpetuates a bigger gap in a two class system ultra-rich and ultra-poor. Try again when you have an actual argument.

      They have tried this several times in our history and I think eventually they will tire of taking the political route and will attempt a military cue. They have infiltrated our political parties and will likely fail this time. I think next time they will follow the words of chairman mao and try the militant route. Raise an army of their own or do to the military what they have done to our political parties. Although this approach would take the brave and hard working communist type(They might find some).

    Keep talking and lecturing Van. Marxisms greatest fear is the light of truth, an informed electorate, the right to vote, and right to bear arms for self-defense or if it becomes necessary to purge a corrupt government. A government these days that fights everyday with lies and distortion designed to enslave and kill freedom. You Van, and all your progressive buddies are violating the very constitution that allows you to speak freely, even if you are wrong and dangerous.

      Why would anyone want to give up their freedom so government bureaucrats (Marxist ones at that), can run their lives? Doesn’t make sense. Oh wait, they’re offering free stuff. So the trade-off is freedom for free stuff. But is any “thing” actually free? Will you trust the government to act in your best interest? Are they doing so now? What would change if they got even more power? Maybe your right to change your mind… If they win this battle, there’s no going back. Vote for people who favor individual rights over government control. Pandora’s box cannot be closed without a great price in blood.

      Van Jone is an idiot. He thinks the people at the Tea Party want to be “in charge of your life,“ and ”in charge of your kid’s future.” That’s exactly what these people are speaking out against. I certainly don‘t want or expect the government to be in charge of my life or my kid’s future. Van Jones, as a communist, a progressive, and a pro-entitlement nut, can only think in those terms. He and the people that listen to him need the government to tell them what to do. I, for one, think the government has a role, but a limited one.

Which is supposed to be a “Government Stupid” run on LAW’S. This “Government Stupid” refuses to enforce those laws,it refuses to follow the PROCEDURE set down in the Constitution. This “Government Stupid” is giving WE THE PEOPLE’S tax money to the very SPECIAL INTEREST groups it said it was going to CHANGE about the “Government Stupid” it replaced. The “Speech Giver” has down right LIED about the CHANGE he campaigned for. The only PROMISE he has kept is the one about TRANSFORMING America.

      Ma you got it right…..and the NAACP is the black KKK just like this government loaded with commie pigs rep and dem lifers willing to lie and lie when a election is near just to keep their jobs and power. I am a Vietnam vet and they act as if they want to support the troops and cry about spending to much money… So they found some money last Dec. in a locked back room and cut out S/S cost of living raise for 2010 and 2011 (.Don’t ever forget that was our money not their money) Wow that must of brought tears to their eyes. But to make them selves feel better the pigs gave them selves a huge raise as a parting christmas gift for another month of vacation off with pay and also locked it in for 2011…And you never heard about it on the news.. The big ripoff is that they hardly work 3 months a year. Just like the obamas they just get back to work and they are planning their next time off with pay..obama has proved to us that he can bypass the house and senate and do what ever the scum that he has around him wants to do to slowly destroy America. Most in the house and senate have been in office for 30 40 years or more and each election they say they will fix the problem…Hell they are the problem…Term limits 1 term and they are gone.And guess what???? we won’t have to listen to more lies to get reelected..Why at election time they now have a way of fixing things. You would think that 30 or 40 years it now comes to them, or even 4 5 6 7 8 years ago. I will vote for the new guy if he is qualified and has a birth certificate and not hiding his school records. Oh ya, when was obama’s ole lady elected to any office? she has over 30 staff members Clinton‘s wife had 2 G W’s wife had1….. talk about ******* our tax dollars away
      VOTE ALL THE BUMS OUT! We have to remove obama and all his commie friends from our government and send them where they will be happy, like China or N. Korea or Iran cuz by the end of his first and last term in office we will be a 3rd world nation and he will be the dictator of the republic of obama. We will be slaves and working for his government……. Sounds crazy right….Wake up America or it’s going to be here real soon. lets cut all gov.jobs wages from the pres. on down to the postal worker by 14% Cut total employment in the gov. by 50% Pass only a clean bill no more pork no ear marks. Stop all foreign aid, most of these countries hate our guts.. Bring all the troops home and have them protect our country for a change on our boarders….. And in a year we will be debt free and can cut the tax rate to 10% for all workers…Ma don’t you just love it when a plan comes together?
