Props to Bill Maher for showing this video. It's time that we revealed the entitlement culture that is the basis of the modern Democratic Party. Obama has further exacerbated this.
Of course, the audience in this taping was very uncomfortable with this video and did not applaud Pelosi for daring to show this. Affluent liberals want the government to give these people welfare checks but not actual careers.
Pretty funny.
"Who are you voting for in the upcoming election?"
"Obama."
"Why?"
"Cause he's black."
The vast majority of blacks only voted for obama because of his race, even though they knew very little about his policies. And liberals say that republicans are racist? Lol.
i am voting for gingrich because he's white.
the problem is that santorum, gingrich, paul and romney are splitting the white vote.
'' I want a career but not a job'' hahahahaha
eliminate all welfare altogether. prob solved.
Give them your own money. Don't force me to pay for what you think is moral.
If you do, then I can force you to pay for what I think is moral. Remember, we don't have to live together. The only reason we get together and form a governement is to achieve things collectively that we cannot achieve individually (guarantee my liberty + security, i.e. strong judicial system and police/military).
What the ever loving fuck are you talking about? The idea that the government gives money to people who are legitimately destitute is both vital and inevitable. I'm all for reducing any and all unnecessary spending on entitlements but the idea that no one, in a society the size of ours, deserves a leg up at times is patently ridiculous. Social programs should be safety nets that catch you when you fall, not a banister that keeps you from falling. That's where the gap between current and ideal state exists.
Too much emotions, not enough valid arguments.
Terrible post. You subsidize failure you get failure.
Bill Maher is a douchefuck, he is anti war and claims to be a libertarian and yet just gave $1 million to Obama.
correct me if im wrong, but i have never seen bill maher claim to be libertarian, he is a flaming democrat socialist actually... where th hell did you get that he is a libertarian, he is like the total opposite of that.

This.
Would Mormons not vote for a Mormon candidate regardless of his policies? (See % of Mormons for Romney) Would Muslims not vote for a muslim candidate regardless of his policies? Would hispanics not vote for a hispanic candidare regardless of his policies? Would Army vets not vote for an Army vet regardless of his policies? (see McCain)
"Minorities" will always vote for those they most closely identify with, and they will identify with the minority characteristic more than they will identify with any socioeconomic policies. Why is this surprising to any of you?
McCain was in the Navy
watch last week's when they interviewed conservative rednecks in Mississippi. The difference in the audience's reaction says it all.
He's not a libertarian anymore, if he ever was.

Most of the people I know from the military can see through the whole 'I'm a veteran so I have credibility' bullshit almost instantly and it rarely, if ever, plays a role in their decision on who to vote for. General Wesley Clark being a case in point.
This applies to officers. I'll let someone else speak to the enlisted side.
I love the part where Bill says when he sees a guy without teeth he wants to help him get teeth. What he doesn't say is that instead of using the $1MM he donated to Obama to help real people in need, he really wants the government to take from those who work to support something he feels is important. That is all.
Liberalism is like a huge charity that finds a cause to support and then proceeds to rob other people to fund it.
Conservatism is short-sighted greed incarnate. Rob the poor to give to the rich.
don' t you have some friends or something you can bitch to?
That's one of the main functions of government. To rob a little from everyone (taxation) to pay for stuff that we think is important. Not sure why you're singling out liberals. Are you against (taxpayer-paid) firemen, infrastructure spending, and public education?
People have a right to their life and not to be harmed by others. Welfare is not a right.
The graphic nature of the death that I wish upon Bill Maher can't even be expressed legally on an anonymous forum
How exactly are they being robbed? 50% pay no fed taxes and receive innumerable benefits. Sounds like the exact opposite of being robbed.
Try again pal.
