First off, eliminate the liberal left people. They dont count. They should be working on making their own bought and paid for elected so called representatives more responsive to their own agendas.

We who tend to vote republican find ourselves frustrated that "establishment" republicans like Boehner continue to work against us common sense Americans (sometimes slandered as "Tea Party" members) who are fed up with business as usual - meaning the continued kow towing to the crony capitalist, to the detriment of us ordinary Americans.

BTW the libs ought to be pissed off as well. Your elected so called reps are also beholden to the crony capitalist interests. Do you really think George Soros and Goldman Sachs really give a rat's ass about you?

Stop being a tool of the establishment. Start being a thinking individual. Perhaps then you will begin to understand what real freedom entails.

I agree. Boehner needs to go. He's an ineffective leader.

Same for Obama and Reid. They're ineffective leaders; they need to go.

People like you stir the pot, post videos like this and then blame others for the division in our nation.
It's like those man on the street interviews, where they always seem to find people who don't know what country borders us to the south, or who the current vice president is. I've come to the conclusion that there are some really stupid people in the world. How can people be that unaware?

I'm pretty sure my vote counts.

And I'm pretty sure my thought process doesn't involve (armed) rebellion against the government.

We have elections. I use them.

Me, too. If they did, I'd hire more local tradesmen to update/upgrade my home. Instead, the money to do so has gone to various government entities, to waste.

Do you really think the 1% gives a rat's ass about YOU? Or even the 10%?

Yet, they are defended by conservatives ad nauseum and you worker bees actually seem to feel their 'pain' when they are asked to pay their share of taxes.

Talk about unthinking...
