- ReturnToFreedom, on 10/10/2007, -6/+51You people want transparency in government? What the hell do you think this is, a government who responds to the will of people? Good luck with that!
These republicans get elected because there are people who will take what Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity, and generally anyone on Fox News and take it as the word of God. They ignore that Jesus was not for the rich at all. Join the growing movement to Boycott Fox "News" advertisers! - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -4/+33I can't wait until the Republican party goes extinct in 2008.
- ReturnToFreedom, on 10/10/2007, -1/+16In an age when we have a president repeating "Executive Privilege" like a drunken parrot, we need more transparency in government!
- thcobbs, on 10/10/2007, -2/+17Keep holding your breath. There are too many loons on both wings for either party to go extinct in 1 year.
- siszam, on 10/10/2007, -1/+14God has nothing to do with people who claim be Christian but do evil in His name. People like you don't worship God. You worship Bush.
- 80hd, on 10/10/2007, -2/+13Oh my god. This is outrageous.
Not just this, but every step closer to a dictatorship that our leaders are taking. Who voted for this to happen? - ryllharu, on 10/10/2007, -0/+11You want to know how to fix this? Register for a political party and vote in the primaries! You can keep the nutcases out of office. Digg me down for being one if you want, but I re-registered as a Republican for the sole purpose of keeping McCain and Giuliani out of the running. One person can't do it alone, but if you don't try, nothing will change.
Quit complaining about it and vote, write letters, make phone calls, and tell them what you approve of and what you think is *****. They only have the power because we sent them there (or let others do it because we were apathetic). They should be very concerned what we think and be afraid of invoking our anger. - dron55, on 10/10/2007, -2/+12***** the Republicans
- jlhoben, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8This whole Democrat v. Republican paradigm is misleading - look at Pelosi and the impeachment issue or the democrats silence regarding the North American Union. The problem is rampant globalization and totally irresponsible and immensely powerful corporate interests who have bought both congress and the executive. Research the SPP and the NAU!
- theNazz, on 10/10/2007, -7/+14I would not vote for a Republican if God Himself was on their ticket.
- itsme92, on 10/10/2007, -6/+13You wouldn't vote for Ron Paul?
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -5/+12assassinations are generally a bad think but things like these make you wonder
- ThndrShk2k, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8I'm sorry, but thats 3008, when Robo Nixon is president.
Didn't you get the memo? - Magillicutti, on 10/10/2007, -1/+7Did you comment on the wrong story or something?
- shupy, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6Americans did it for generations. Immigrants are not the same as ILLEGAL immigrants. Immigrants got here legally and are willing to pay their dues to become citizens. My immigrant father worked in a coal mine so we could have a better life. It eventually killed him, but he died an American citizen.
- pintomp3, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5more liike:
republicans: +2534
democrats: +348
america: -2882 - shupy, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6Don't look at me. I voted for Gore, contributed to the Kerry campaign and worked the phone banks to get out the vote. The only surprising thing is that anyone is surprised with the direction the Bush administration is taking. This didn't happen overnight.
- PATSCRU, on 10/10/2007, -2/+7Not that he would be.....
- luther70, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5Your right they should be taken to task for the pork. Of course the dems don't claim to be small government fiscal conservative so at least they are not lying about their nature like the Republicans.
- kinseyincanada, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4I voted for Kudos.
- CayoHuesoDude, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4And what did you think?
The Republi-Cons actually care about Freedom for the populace?
For geeks, ya'll don't think so much about real life, do ya.
But living in a virtual World is just where they want you to be. - RpgActioN, on 10/10/2007, -3/+6I wouldn't. I'm not stupid enough to believe that businesses won't enslave us if we leave them alone, and I'm not apathetic enough to shrug off the fact that Paul wants to pretty much tell several million impoverished Americans that Social Darwinism isn't an archaic concept.
- mabhatter, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3they're ILLEGAL so rich people don't have to pay workman's comp, or taxes and let them mooch off the "poor people's" system. That distorts the market so those dirty jobs stay dirty. Note how quickly the farm tool companies are working on automation with the fear that migrant workers might all be deported....job conditions CAN be improved, but there's no incentive if you can pay people $2 an hour illegally to do the work, is there?
- thechr0nic, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4dugg for futurama reference
- spudhead, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4Your point would be valid if there wasn't a long tradition of blocking and misrepresenting information in this administration. In order to truly make your point, you would need to name an administration that has come even remotely close to what this administration is doing.
- Lumet, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4I wonder if the world will become a utopia when the democrats run the government... No it won't. The government is going to get bigger and bigger. Stop bickering about democrats and republicans and start chipping away at the government.
- nwoantibody, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Please... there's nothing too outrageous in American politics. Otherwise the people would have hung the traitors.
Unless the people are a bunch of pussies...
oh wait... - CayoHuesoDude, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4And, oh yeah.....
They murdered Pat Tillman because Dead men tell no Tales....
(or so they thought). - FredoBerfil, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3What nonsense are you talking about? I've been a registered Libertarian my whole life. I loathe the GOP.
- Stevethegreat, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Interesting, but you didn't give not even a little of your time to understand the ramifications of Friedman's thinking on modern society. You already have corporate overlords just because you're doing it all wrong. He's a bit extreme at some issues but he's ultimately right on the other 90%. It's sad that most Americans can't even understand that free markets are the exact opposite of corporatism and/or autocracy.
Having said that I'm sure that I'm more lefty than you could ever be, which means I believe in a social society which can only come if you program the system to work well and not by applying certain legislators, to do this for you, the collective thinking will always beat the thinking of one man alone however genius is he. Corporatism rises with the exact same way that autocracy rises, they're both far right regimes, and they are happening exactly because people are stolen all their rights and passively accept being fed with shoulds and should nots by governments (taxes) or corporations (fashion, pop culture).
So instead of wanting your -mama- government to act rightly or -worse- corporations to do so, assume responsibility for once and along with you most of your compatriots.....
Again it saddens me that Milton Friedman is being dugg down on Digg, it means people here do not have the mental capacity to understand his thinking, if it was so they could have found better alternative. - Graemebru, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4Republicans: -483 Democrats: 1
- addicted68098, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3For some odd reason I like fox news, but evidently I also like BS, and Fox seems to pack their news full of BS
- von8, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4The article really doesn't say much more than Leahy's comments. We really have no idea whats in that legislation. Besides, how are the republicans being obstructionists? All they want to do is discuss the bill. Leahy just didn't get his unanimous vote so he gets pissed off.
Besides, the dems OWN congress now, so they can do whatever they want. They can't blame the republicans for everything...the republicans have no power. That's just a cop out for not getting work done. - mumblyjoe, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Hah, hah, hah! This foolish earthling, doesn't even know how to spell the name of his alien overlord! Get the whip!
- luther70, on 10/10/2007, -2/+4And welcome our new corporate overlords.
- unsurebtwilling, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3who said that religion was the opinite of the masses? well it seems in a democracy it's that your vote does count If after a few years whatever party is in power messes things up vote for the other party only problem is that they're the same notice how the percentage of taxes for the wealthy and corporations has gone down but you still pay the same the 2 party system is being gamed by those truly in power
- 0xbadfood, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2The fact that you're still talking about democrats and republicans is the entire problem. Stop looking at them as groups and start looking at them as people. Who lied, in particular? Who put the pork in the bills? Find out. Campaign against them. Get them out of office. Stop caring about which party they're in.
- TruthWillWin, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3Die Partei ja!!
ChIna: 1 party
U.S. : 2 parties
same results: power grab by the super-rich elites, for a few of a few and by a few.
PEOPLE STILL BUY INTO THE FALSE LEFT/RIGHT PARADIGM???? IT'S BOUGHT AND PAID FOR YOU IDIOTS ! - azAZ09, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Confusing your left and right again?
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Pot calling the Kettle Black
Fairness Doctrine... - sb66, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2What kills me, is that individualists and libertarians in favor of small government actually belong to the same party as these big government loving fascists.
- GunOfSod, on 10/10/2007, -0/+13 shots to the forehead, close range, no evidence of any enemy fire, 4 days before meeting with Noam Chomsky.
Pffffffft - 0xbadfood, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1What do you mean, new?
- luther70, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I don't know anyone who thought that the Dem's where representing themselves as fiscal conservatives. What the Dems pretend to represent is Workers rights, social justice, civil liberties. When they fail in that they are hypocrites and should be called out. Its the republicans that pretend to be fiscally responsible and want small government. When they had all three branches of Government and they did just the opposite.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2way to make an intelligent argument.
His response - in context to a post...
Your response - took the word God and twisted it into some anti-religious tripe.
Way to go, douche. - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2Fairness Doctrine...
douche - Stevethegreat, on 10/10/2007, -6/+7Vote Libertarian.

The man was warning you for half a century, time to give him a serious listen. - kingkilr, on 10/10/2007, -3/+4I know, in case no one noticed, Jesus was about the most radical person on the planet
- azAZ09, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2Almost as played as the "real-world" vs. college false dichotomy. Universities become a place where people learn to question authority, think critically, and communicate ideas. The " leftist bubble" as you call it is teaching people to see through your partisan *****. Educating people to see the conservative media for the circle-jerk it has become. "No-spin zone"? Give me a break! These guys are nothing but spin.
Maybe after a few years of exposure to rampant corporatism in the "real-world", you'll begin to realize that social-justice is not a partisan concept.
I'm not sure if your comment was more offensive because it is politically naive, or because it was presented with the smug arrogance that seems to so pervasive in republican rhetoric. Your comment assumes that the republican ideology is correct and everything that doesn't agree that ideology is leftist and wrong--another false dichotomy.
Maybe once you go back to college, you'll learn some of the critical thinking skills that you missed the first time and perhaps even grow out of this republican phase. - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2in my experience, college was a place where we learned that we should question authority, but listened blindly to intellectual shut-ins as they squaked on about leftist ideas, socialism, and star trek.
In college, you are not spouting your own ideas, but the popular views that are circulated by professors and passed to students.
Need proof....
Name 10 conservatives on campus...
Then wonder why every one on campus agrees with you 100% -
