Mar 21, 2012 - I think it's best we hold off from entangling ourselves in Europe too much for the moment. The European economy is struggling at the moment, more than anybody wants to admit. If it all goes tits up we'll need to make sure it doesn't drag us down too. Same for U.S.

Mar 25, 2012 - Corruption is running rampid in our government, end of story.Petty thieves and drug offenders fill our prisons, but they should be full of politicians and wall st. assholes.Our leaders are nothing more than drug dealers.Iran Contra and Fast and Furious are all the evidence we need to understand the mindset.These so called leaders are mere high profile thugs.Anyone who supports them are mere msm zombies.Houston,we have a major problem in congress.It won't heal itself, either.Peace.

colourmegone Says:
Apr 4, 2012 - OF COURSE!! that's how it works, it's capitalism. The US system is based entirely on maximising the profits of investors, it's a legal requirement. There wealth is regarded as the same as freedom of speech and corporate entities have the same civil rights as individuals. What kind of country did you think you were living in? One with liberty and justice for all? Surely Cenk isn't THAT naive.

Apr 16, 2012 - Has anyone else been carefully selected to participate in a political survey on their cell phone?
blackkakari Says:
Apr 16, 2012 - Appalling that lobbying is allowed. It's nothing more than legalised bribery.
scorand Says:
Apr 23, 2012 - no wonder the reich wing repubs want the presidential election so bad. so they can use the same lobbyist tactics to force creationism and their religion on all and make an even bigger fortune.

Thefaceoftheword Says:
May 8, 2012 - these fools on top are quick to send someone to do their dirty work and sacrifice people they are meek fools in power who only power is to control and order others. they are quick to be the grime they are and have the nerve to show face in public act like they are clean but what they are is filth that going to be washed away into the sewers they have no power but a dollar bill and lies. So im hitting these grumpy old meek fools with a panic attack to let them know they are not excempt
Thefaceoftheword Says:
May 8, 2012 - have no authority of universal law this attack will last one hour let them pull those strings they are going to get the worst of it. the same as someone contracts a hitman to do their work then they will be judged in the same way. take your money wipe your but with it your time is near things are going to get really bad for you in mind and in heart my army forget about it you have no wins grum\py liars.

May 9, 2012 - Jack Abramoff works out every day - "Casino Jack"(movie)
BritaniaRuleAgain Says:
May 16, 2012 - Our government was never written as a democracy, but a constitutional republic.But, you are probably well aware we haven't been constitutional for multitudes of decades.
DoTheHokeyDokeyNow Says:
May 29, 2012 - All we have to do to fix this legalized-corruption is make it illegal to work for any type of lobbying firm in any capacity before twelve years after leaving a congressional office. And, to up our representation to one member of congress for every one-hundred-thousand citizens. If these two solutions were put in place you would not only see a dramatic decrease in corruption, but also a dramatic increase in the power of our Countries' citizenry to govern themselves.

Mar 20, 2012 - Lobbyists know how to work the system. They've been doing it for decades. They get what they want or else they buy media time for negative ads against whoever doesn't go along with what they want. Sposnsor think-tanks to come up with legislation that will get them what they want. Pump money into campains for shills that will do what they tell them to do. It's money, media, and politics at work against the interests of the average American who's basically powerless against it.
