    Haha, that’s a nice …
    Haha, that’s a nice platitude kid but even if it were true the US is not a republic. The US is a corporate regime. Just follow the money. Interesting how where the money goes the laws come from, yes? DMCA, ACTA, Copyright reform, all those things came from corporations wanting the US to guarantee their profits, power, etc. You’re either naive or stupid, thankfully both can be fixed although I doubt you’ll bother.

    Just so you know …
    Just so you know Fox News was a Bush Basher too…. I remember watching them attack bush for policies and spending. Fox news just has the Balls to tell it like it is. While the rest of MSM(Mainstream Media) blindly follows progressives and the Likes of the slob Michael Moore. They also are not for the people of America, yet they constantly support Unions/Giving Government control of Health Care/ and the regulation of the by-products of Human respiration.

  3. smallzizumi Says:

    It’s not a …
    It’s not a Democracy that you want it is a Republic that this Country’s Constitution was founded on. A Democracy totally rules out the peoples voice. A Republic is ran by the people.

  4. smallzizumi Says:

    This guy is …
    This guy is responsible for the crumbling of America with his Progressive/ anti-constitution views. Bernanke and Geitner should be thrown out, we Libertarians and Constitutionists agree completely on this.

  5. linhnvo Says:

    What he means is …
    What he means is that the Democrats should filibuster Bernanke’s nomination, but they refuse to.

    Does cenk think …
    Does cenk think we’re stupid or is he just a idiot. the reason they don’t need 60 on the bernake vote is because the GOP doesn’t care and they’re not going to filibuster it. on the other issues leiberman said he’d join a filibuster. this is obvious and i can’t believe cenk doesn’t see the connection here. i can only think that cenk is pulling a glen beck and trying to trick the dumber viewers.

    Do some research on …
    Do some research on Woodrow Wilson, he was the most progressive president this country has had, then compare his views to the constitution and his vision of the country to Obama. Its scary how progressive he is. And I didn’t vote for him.

  8. DeeLikesVids78 Says:

    believe me, obama …
    believe me, obama is not a progressive. we thought he was when we voted for him, but now it seems he’s moving closer and closer to the right.

  9. MrWhyble Says:

    The extreme …
    The extreme democrats are known as progressives. Its progressives that are in the in the white house right now. Obamas agenda is a progressive agenda.

    what would make you think i don’t know what it means? what specifically in my post is illogical? i’m not moving anywhere in europe. i’m an american. it’s time americans get their head out of their and stop worrying about bullshyt issues, like what gay people do with their lives or what women do with their bodies, and start demanding our government work for us.

  11. YouSmellLikePOOO Says:

    The fact is obama …
    The fact is obama is prolonging the crisis to make it easier to enact socialistic policies giving government more control over the people.

    Hitler and his Socialists Party gained absolute power of the Germans during the Great Depression. Ultimately, if you control the economy you control the people.

    If you understand basic economics you would realize that obama’s policies, such as devaluing the USD, is just forcing higher unemployment, which is now really at about 22%; desperate join military.

    As a 3rd party person (libertarian) If you are looking for a progressive 3rd party i suggest you look into the green party. Please encourage every one to vote 3rd party

  13. MrWhyble Says:

    if you want a …
    if you want a progressive movement why dont you just move to most places in Europe. Not sure if you know what the word progressive means, not what it relates to when it comes to politics, but the word itself, it relates to making progress, meaning there is an end goal, when it comes to politics what is that end goal??? socialism, communism.. You can find plenty of that out of this country, I agree screw all these people in office now, but your logic is crap.

  14. DeeLikesVids78 Says:

    and that is why i am neither a republican nor a democrat. ‘em. we need a progressive 3rd party now. we need a progressive movement that makes its presence known now.

    Nice to see Cenk is woken up now. When he was a major supporter of Obama I couldnt stand Cenk.

  16. wtfdoihavetodohere Says:

    Fact: Republicans …
    Fact: Republicans and Democrats favor a revolving door system between high ranking gov’t positions, corporate leadership positions and lobbying positions. This, essentially, is a “command” economy.

    Fact: The Nazis used state run media to spread anti-communist, anti-Jewish, anti-immigrant, pro-nationalist paranoid, xenophobic conspiracy theories. And if that doesn’t sound like the modern US republican party, then nothing does.

    Democrats will lie about anything

    @GBfuryattacks Obama is a moderate? Thats funny

  19. drauglintuor Says:

    I agreed with you …
    I agreed with you until you you got to Communism. Communism? Seriously? The Supreme Court just essentially handed over the entire US government over to Corporations, haven’t you been paying attention?? Corporate Fascism is what America has to look forward to, not Communism.

    I KNEW REPS AND DEMS WORKED TOGETHER AND EVERY ONE GAVE ME THUMBS DOWN!!!!!!!!!

    god…. too bad these youtube comments dont mean anything

    politics is gay and politicians can’t be trusted!
    I honestly fear a revolution.
    D and R are no more, fear the C =o
    American communism ?

    sadly

  21. npw3dsl Says:

    Cenk is correct of …
    Cenk is correct of course, but the question is how do the people overturn this sham. There is no 2-party system. Money controls all the politicians and the corporations have the money – so who do you think they would be beholden to – the people? LOL – yeah right. the system is BROKEN beyond repair and their is nothing short of a full blown people’s revolt that will change this.

  22. YouSmellLikePOOO Says:

    The only way to …
    The only way to effectively control the people is by controlling the economy. If you openly and forcefully control the people directly, they will fight back.

    Socialism is the best economic system for control because the names of the large corporations are not nationalized. But, those large corporations rely on government spending and policies because the people have become poorer due to taxes and inflation.

    obama’s reckless policies are giving government more control of the economy.

    @YouSmellLikePOOO

    Fact: Conservatives, and certainly republicans do NOT favour capitalism… they favour corporatism. Huge difference. Afterall, wasnt the first bailout by George Bush?? which Palin supported at the time

    Fact: Liberals do not favour bigger more central governance. We favour smart government that looks out for interests not corporate interests.

    Unfortunately for us, we have a choice of corporate party 1 or corporate party 2. Just depends on what colour you prefer…

    Maybe you are just too stupid to realize how stupid you really are. Or, maybe you are just obsessively infatuated with your obama messiah.

    Fact: Conservatives (represented by the US Republicans) favor more capitalism, aka Free-Market economy.

    Fact: Liberals (represented by the US Democrats) favor more socialism, aka Command economy.

    Hitler’s National Socialism, aka Nazism, favored a Command economy to more easily control and dictate the people.

    Hmm. Apparently you …
    Hmm. Apparently you are stupid.

    Naziism was a far right-wing ideology. Go read about it.

    And our “capitalist” economy is nearly as controlled and centralized as the soviet union’s was. It’s just controlled by a few “capitalists” instead of a few communists.
