1. First again? It's funny how Cenk is obviously somewhat naive and has trouble understanding how this sort of outrageousness is possible. I don't get upset by how screwed up this country is anymore. Nothing TPTB do surprises me any longer. The common man is nothing to the corporate fascists who have co-opted our country. Our elected representatives are bought and paid for, have been for quite some time, all that's left is our struggle to survive.

3.
While this whole thing was brewing, what were the concerns of Congress? Steroids in baseball.

Now, we have to pay for the excesses of an upper class "ethical" breakdown.

The people who are asking to lead us are not telling us what they plan to do, as whoever's next will have the responsibility to ensure this doesn't happen again - Want to postpone debate when the biggest threat to our nation is staring us in the face.

Still feel represented?

4. Good question..Obama needs to scream it to the roof tops.
Where the hell are we getting the 1Billion for Georgia, that Cheney just gave away...the TRILLION for the Bush BAnk give away..Iraq, Iran, Afganistan..who ever the hell they want to bomb next.
And the bobbleheads sit at home watching Faux News, listening to Limpballs and Coultergist (who you don't hear much from anymore, thank God).
Can you imagine the whining if this were Clinton, Kerry or Gore F..king up the country this bad??
The idiots try to blame the Dems (who are spinelessly at fault also) but Repukes have ruled over all of this mess and now they want more tax payer $$'s to.....well they don't really know what their going to do, or who their going to pay off...we should just trust them...becasue they've gotten so much right so far.

5. WHY IS IT THAT YOU CAN ONLY GET ON THE AIR OF BANKRUPT AIR AMERICA? IS YOUR SALARY STILL BEING PAID BY THOSE LITTLE GIRLS AT THE 4H CLUB? YOU REALLY SHOULD GIVE THOSE GIRLS THEIR MONEY BACK. YOU ARE PATHETIC AND I REALLY SEE NO BASIS TO TAKE ANYTHING YOU SAY SERIOUSLY. YOUR OPINIONS STINK TYTURD.

6. Wow, a liberal wanting another SOCIAL program. What a surprise. You want free health care for everybody? Drop some of your other social programs to pay for it. Prioritize your projects. If you don't have enough money for all of them-- cut some. I have to do that if I can't pay for my projects. I can't just go out and rape my bosses out of more money like democrats can.
Stench - ya need to get back in that toilet, reach up and flush yerself back into the sewer you left behind.

7. Ana, look at what you're saying. The Feds have both hands in the economy and education. And their kicking, pushing and shoving to get both feet into them too. Just like they have on immigration.

Now, think about it, do you really want them to get involved in our health care?

8. Cenk, you are reporting on this and missing some major news that is more your style...."Pink" is saying that Palin is a traitor to women, and Britny's mom, Lynn Spears is saying that Palin is getting praised that her daughter got pregnant, and Spears' daughter Jaime got talked about worse than the trailer park trash that she is. Also, I'm sure "The View" is getting pissed because you haven't checked in with them recently to get more material for your hard-hitting essays.

9. You, "conservatives" will try anything to change the subject, won't you?

10. So McCain is pussing out on his campaign and the debate. What's he going to call for next, a suspension of the election?

11. Amazing the money Repubs will spend on killing. They'll kill Americans just as quickly by not providing health care. It's about greed. It's about racism. It's about prejudice. IT'S ABOUT
IGNORANCE!!!

12. Those things you mentioned are paid for by putting us in debt. We already have health care and it is also putting us in debt call medicare. We as a nation need to cut spending not have more government failure programs like free health care.
Sure the war and ballouts will end one day, but another health care program will ruin our future. We just do not have the money for this, besides the feds social security, medicare, drugs all of that is a total failure and only benefits some as well as drawing the world to come here and take from the few of us who are expected to pay for it all. The so called poor get everything and pay NO taxes. As far as I am concerned people who do not pay taxes should not even have the right to vote. Why should the free loaders tell me how much I should pay for thier free social programs. I am one of those in the middle as my family struggles to work and provide for others who sit around and are now crying for more free programs when they do not even contribute. "socialism" Obama will only bankrupt us further. It is not logical pal to say since we are making mistakes or going into debt that we should do even more????? dumb

13. Excellent point Cenk! I am always amazed how conservatives can say that there is no money for universal health care or for repairing our infrastructure or providing an education for our kids but yet if they military needs hundreds of billions of dollars-- no problem! They NEVER say they don't have enough money for the military. And they never say they don't have enough money to rescue rich investment bankers. You see any program that actually HELPS people is too expensive but if it helps the rich well then the sky is the limit! So big military, big oil and big corporations can get anything they want. But if it helps the little guy it is suddenly "too much money." What a bunch of liars!
As for "Eric" and "Cenk is an idiot" I noticed that they didn't counter your claim. They just called you names. Which is a typical right-wing response. In other words they are too dumb to think up an intelligent response. :-)

14. So Bill, Post 12...my grandmother who has voted for 60 years as a farm owner and made so little money that she didn't pay taxes....she can't vote. You are an idiot! Thanks for the chuckle...why don't you try the comics section!

15. These blogs illuminate the old adage,"Not all
conservatives are stupid,but most stupid people
are conservative".
The rest are professionally indoctrinated drones.
