  1. We are not the cult fringe, we are the American people standing up for our Freedom. Stop lieing to the American people. Obama has had no budget, he has spent trillions. He has ruined our economy with his bad policies. You are responsible for us having to raise the debt ceiling. Why doesn't anyone talk about how the debt ceiling has already been raised a few times under Obama. We are not dead beat debtors, you are. You are stealing all our wealth and our childrens.

      That's ok linda, let them keep referring to We The People as a "cut fringe" or Nazis, racists, illiterates, etc. The more insults the better because, in fact, every time they step out with these assertions, they stick their finger directly into the eyes of the American people…the (previously) silent majority.
      So bring it on, keep at it, keep insulting and infuriating the majority of Americans and see what it gets you. You'd think these rocket scientists would have learned their lesson from the 2010 elections.

    • Sammys Dad says:

      Attack, call names, and complaining without giving any answers is typical of these useless politicians. The democrats ran up the bills with their terrible pork barreling. Schumer and Harkin both lied in this video, and no one calls them on it. It looks like we need more Allen Wests to do the job.

  2. Gerald Mann says:

    Maybe if Obama would stop giving money to other countrys we could pay our bills and not go into defult….After all we don't owe anyone anything , we have our own vertrns living on the street while we have an illeagle allien in the White House giving monet to people doinmf better then we are !!! Lets impeach Obama now and save the country !!!

  3. hd wood says:

    This has to take the cake. Both parties have screwed this country for 50 years and now that responsible citizens want an end to it…they are cast as the enemy. Someone should ask Hawkin how he feels carrying the water for Barry and the rest of the commies in Congress. We're getting what we deserve because as a people we're apparently now smart enough to vote responsibly.

  4. This jerk should have retired years ago. He should take "CHUCKY" with him.
    These crazy spenders still do not "GET IT"

    • Yes, they get it, they are doing this on purpose. Obama, wants to get this country so far in debt, that it is an impossibility to get out out of it. He wants a one world government, with him being the head over it.

  5. Do they really think ttheir little jabs at Tea Party members are go ing to send us scurring off/ These moon bats are ther reason this country is in the shape it is in. Shut up Schummer, you lying scum bag. I will not be silenced by the idiots of Karl Marx Luciferian cult fringe . Screw yu and Harkin, bot corrupt dispicable Sinators.

    • These two idiots think they are the only ones who care about the future of this country! Make me PUKE! How much has their boy wonder "president" added to the American deficit in his wondrous first 3 years?!?!?! HOW MUCH?!?!?! MORE THAN 4 TRILLION DOLLARS, THAT'S HOW MUCH!!!
      These lying pieces of GARBAGE (no offense to garbage).
      Harkin is so old and out of touch, he needs to check into an old folk's home and have an Alzheimer's test, the fool.

    • Gina, actually no their jabs are an attempt to get U.S to rise up against the govt. whereby they can declare Martial Law and suspend that troublesome Constitution altogether. bo would become the figurehead of rule of the new world order, I pray for a peaceful transition of power back to the people, But if you just have to take a jab at the Govt .be careful, be sure that it really counts for something, Because the stakes for You will be very high, both financially as well as personal, They will stop at nothing to take their revenge on You.

  6. Wake Up says:

    What planet are these idiots from?

    Do they really think any sane person would believe the crap that flows from their mouths?

    They should be tared and feathered, hung for treason then shot and burned… their names never to mentioned again in public as it would be considered a disgusting act to do so in polite company.

    God save us from these treacherous and despicable low life's.

  7. Gloria Jimenez Ross says:

    You're right you freaking MORON. The Republicans DID NOT RUN UP THE TAB – your PRANCING SQUATTER did that – We The People are AGAINST RAISING the debt ceiling you freaking MORON

  8. Judyann J says:

    And get a load of the smirk on the face of Chuck "just a little porky, chatting class" Schumer.

  9. I just hope Senator Harkin and others like him, continue to believe as they do about the American thinking group known as the tea party. Progressives never learn from history, even recent history. Perhaps another House gain of seventy seats and loss of the Senate and Presidency will get their attention. Personally I hope they don't get it.

  10. Jim from Texas says:

    What saints those Democrats are ………… it is NOT a "cult fringe", you buffoons.

    We the People (ever heard of that?) want spending CUT ……….. got it? ……… REDUCED ………….. ELIMINATED ……….. clear?

    And these saints accuse Bush and the Repub Senate and House of running up this debt, and now that party is not willing to pay it off?

    Despicable ………… but I've already mentioned Democrats, so I repeat myself

  11. ROBERT AUGERI says:

    THIS SENATOR HARKIN IS FULL OF BS. THE DONKEYS WON'T LET THIS COUNTRY GO INTO DEFAULT THEY WANT TO RAISE THE DEBT LIMIT SO THEY CAN SPEND MORE MONEY ON PROGRAMS THAT COST THE AMERICAN TAX PAYER MORE MONEY. CHUCK SCHUMER IS ANOTHER ONE WHO IS TOTALLY FULL OF BS AND I DON'T KNOW WHY NEW YORKER VOTE THIS BS ARTIST IN. HE HAS GOT SIX MORE YEARS OF HIS BS. ANOTHER LIBERAL DEMOCRAT. IF YOU OWED MONEY ON YOUR HOME WOULD YOU KEEP BORROWING UNTIL YOU AS AN INDIVIDUAL CAN NO LOGER PAYER YOUR INTEREST. THESE LIBERAL DEMOCRAT'S SHOULD GET THERE HOUSE IN ORDER. DEMOCRAT'S ALONG WITH BERNANKE ARE LEADING US INTO DEFAULT WITH MORE BORROWING. I REMEMBER CHUCK SCHUMER STANDING ALONG SIDE OF BARNEY FRANKS ANOTHER BS ARTIST STATING THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH FANNIE MAE AND FREDDIE MAX. WAKE ALL OF YOU VOTING FOOLS IF I WAS MICHELE BACHMAN I WOULD VOTE NOT TO RAISE THE DEBT CEILING AND THIS IS A FALSE STATEMENT THAT IF IT IS NOT RAISED WE WILL DEFAULT. IT ONLY GIVES THESE DONKEYS MORE MONEY TO SPEND ON THERE PIE HOLE PROGRAMS. AMEN

  12. While he was talking, I kept seeing the image of a garbage disposal in reverse, spewing more hateful lies and garbage.

  13. Lil_Patti says:

    More Democratic bs. Is there even ONE Democrat in Congress who knows how to tell the truth, and does so? I can't remember the last time I saw or heard one. These morons are making their decisions (and statements) with 2012 in mind. IF the Dems win again, you can bet that everything they are saying and promising now will be swept under the rug after the elections. Vote ALL of them out!!!

  14. WHAT A CROCK OF IT!!! Sen. Harkin AND Sen. Schumer both LIED when they said that Republicans ran up the debt. Certainly the Republicans helped with the debt, BUT OBAMA, THE DEMOCRAT'S COMMUNIST PRESIDENT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE LION'S SHARE OF THE NATIONAL DEBT!! If the debt ceiling is raised, it will hand the COMMUNIST OBAMA a blank check BOOK, NOT JUST A BLANK CHECK. That is what Schumer and his stupid, ill informed henchman Harkin want. Democrats were in control of both houses when all the major spending was done, so Harkin and Schumer BOTH LIED! But then, that is what Communists do, lie! The Dems as a party are a cult; a cult of evil people coveting more power over the American people. The Democratic party was bought (can you say Soros money) by the Communist years ago. Power, wealth, celebrity is all those evil Dems want, not freedom, capitalism; just serfdom for the American people.

  15. Harken lied! Seems to be a normal thing for Democrats to do. The Republicans have not controlled Congress & ran up this debt over the last eight years. Facts are that the Democrats controlled both houses of Congress during G.W.Bushes last two years of his administration & for the first two years of Obama's administration & have had control of the Senate & White House for 2011 to date.

    • Gary in Colo says:

      They all do. We don't need to tell each other that we warned each other. We both already
      know it. I just can't believe the people out there that keep buying that Bush's fault crap?

  16. Ballistic 45 says:

    Like a Muslim, Liberals are allowed in their Playbook to lie for the benefit of their Agenda… Their words mean NOTHING, watch what they have done and what they are doing… Tell me in what fantasy land Liberals live in? A place where a families income is $2,000 dollars a Month but they runs up credit Cards to there MAX, fall short $800 in being able to meet all their obligations.. Now in this fantasy land its no problem because you can ether force your Boss to give you a raise, or you can decide for yourself to raise your credit card limit without Bank input or you can do both.. My question is, if they demand us all to act like we are in their fantasy land when we know we live in the real world, how can it be that anyone live happily ever after? This idiot, is in fantasy land, the Tea Party groups are a cross section of America trying to pull people back to reality and get their heads out of this Fantasy cloud…

  17. How skewed can their thinking be?

    I've often wondered what it's like to live in their world… but I know for certain I wouldn't want to go there.
    Once there, there's probably no way back to reality.

  18. michael8495 says:

    Oh Boy, let's go there. Again we see the only thing that a democrat is good at is LIE, and there again Sen, Harkin and his boy friend can stand there, looking straight into a camera and LIE, LIE, LIE. They can do it and not even feel one iota of remorse, why because they HATE Republicans. Harkin know's that even the most jr. Republican is smarter than the oldest democrat. That's why there is so much hate in there hearts towards republicans. The truth of why the republicans do not want the Debt Ceiling Raised, is because of ALL the LIES that has come out of the mouths of ALL DEMOCRATS, and I mean ALL. So, when there are constiuents out there telling there Senator or Congressman NOT To Raise the Debt Ceiling, it's because of you Democratic LIARS, that has gotten those who stay on top of the disaster that this Obama Administration has done to America, Most Americans are skiddish of you Dumb Democrats that want to do nothing but to destroy America. And, that you dumb democrats is the TRUTH and nothing but the TRUTH.

  19. liberty901 says:

    Harkin is a HAS-BEEN. It really is sad that a man of his age doesn't know the truth from fiction. He fails to be a man and admit that the last two years of the Bush administration that the dem-dummies were in power and every time Bush "sneezed" they voted against him. With senile politicians like Harkin, Reid, Schummer, Durbin, etc. this is the perfect reason why the people of the USA has to demand TERM LIMITS for all politicians

  20. Goldbug36 says:

    I wouldn't let those "bass turds" have another nickel either! All 535 members of Congress fully intend to increase the debt ceiling .. this cat and mouse game is just show biz. They would love to pass the Balance Budget Amendment, which would transfer the purse strings from Congress to the fraudulent USURPER in the White House. If you don't believe it .. read it. I doubt that any member of Congress who voted for it has read it. They want to pass it so they can find out what's in it … duh!

    • Buckminister says:

      My daddy had a catch phrase for motor mouthing liars like this. "Rave on Catshit, someone will come along and cover you up." Is there no shame in that democrap party.? How do those bastards sleep nights? Wouldn't wanna be them. The only reason they want to destroy the integrity of good tea party participants is they are Skeered to death that we are going to send the rest of them lying cheating Marxist/muslims packin' in 2012. And the oughta be skeeered..

  21. Libtards hate this country, hate the flag, and definitely hate patriotic citizens. They cannot stand the Constitution and do not celebrate the 4Th of July. I wish we could just give all of them a one way ticket to HELL!! They make me want to vomit just thinking of all the peoples lives and futures they have destroyed these past 3 years. On second thought, HELL is too good for these barbarians!!!

  22. Michael W. Morgan says:

    This old fool is the main problem in Washington. He and his ilk have spent our retiremnt and jeapordized our childrens futures to pander to the 45% of the people in the United States and the millions of illegal aliens to stay in power. The TEA Party is a natural reaction to their deriliction of duty and the promotion of the Socialist Agenda taught by the mid-sixties radicals and these politicians that have elected them. It is time for a new generation of Americans, with American Values to run the nation, these idiots still don't realize that communism and socialism DOESN'T work…as evidenced by the condition of our economy and the Federalism that Real Americans have fought since John Adams and Thomas Jefferson duked it out 200+ years ago.

  23. Magnum05 says:

    Senator Harkin is full of shit & a liar as well. If they don't fix the problem "now" the country will default anyway, with Obama given the green light to continue spending & printing up more "Monopoly" money. These people in Congress should have been actors, because that is all they ever do. They pretend to be working on solutions, but they really aren't. It's all bullshit as usual.

  24. Harkin and Schumer, two of the biggest liars in Congress and the world. They must have given Obama some pointers about lying when he falsely took over the White House. There is no new poll showing that Americans now want to raise the debt ceiling. Eighty-three percent are still against it.

  25. drftrapani says:

    So then, let's raise the debt ceiling, print more money, borrow and spend our way into oblivion and just assume that it will never catch up with us. How brilliant!
    I'm convinced that our Congress is unbelievably stupid or they are intentionally trying to destroy our present government. It has to be one or the other!
    drftrapani

  26. Mr. Harkin seems to think we're too ignorant to realize that, since 1949, Democrats have controlled the House 25 times to the Republicans' 7 and the Senate 23 times to the Republicans' 9. How many times have there been a Republican President and majority in the House and Senate? Twice. Democrats? Ten times! So tell me again who got us in this mess? If you don't like the Republicans' plan, then COME UP WITH ONE!!

  27. MR HARKIN YOU ARE A COMPLETE DUMB ASS YOU AND THE DEMOCRATS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR MOST OF THE PROBLEMS WE HAVE, YOU ARE WASTING YOUR TIME TRYING TO BLOW SMOKE. WE KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN DOING WE HAVE A USURPER IN THE WHITE HOUSE AND YOU AND THE REST OF THE HYPOCRITES IN CONGRESS KNOW OBAMA IS ILLEGAL AND ARE SETTING ON YOUR DEAD ASSES AND DOING NOTHING. I JUST HOPE YOU ARE THINKING ABOUT A GOOD EXCUSE FOR YOU AND THE REST BEING SO DAMN IGNORANT

  28. Theonethatknows says:

    Go Michele Bachmann!! Kick these lying bastards into hell! They are the most deceptive, deluded, and vile scum on the planet! They are doctors of demonology! Sons of Satan!

  29. skipfoss says:

    These two jackass's are the poster boys for term limmits both should have been out office years ago if they would get their heds out of Husseins ass they just might see the truth of what this half breed son of a white trash communist whore is doing to our country. These dumb ass supposed leaders go every Monday and get their topic for the week and if you notice on any interview they all have the same thing to say and they use that phrase or buzz word until Obama decides to change it

  30. I really don't know what kind of a slack jawed MORON could even say what this pair of A**holes actually got in front of the camera and said, does he really know anything at all or are facts not spoken these days in DC?? The truth that dems had the house and senate during Bushes last 4yrs and Obozos first 2 years does not add up to the tea party being a fringe cult!!! The tea party patriots didn't start until Obozo slammed through Obozocare a dem. debate only, I guess that is this Socialist son of a pups idea of compromise!! Backroom shady Chicago politics and these arrogant bas**rds actually believe this tripe??? Obozo here is a fact that you might have let by is if everything is on the table what about OBOZOCARE??? The very thing that has shut down small business and killed any hiring because they can't afford to hire. Don't let anything like the truth slow down your BS. Senator Harkin!!
