Rep. Jeb Hensarling came on Washington Journal on June 5, 2008, and if the callers are any indication, voters are really pissed off at the Republicans right now. He did not get a single positive call. Republican, thy name is mud. Nothing like high gas prices to finally really get people riled up.

[truedelphi]

Like you say, not one of these callers said they were a Democrat.

And they really really wailed on this guy. Who just sat there like a smug and pompous ass.

9. GREAT VIDEO!! Thanks! nt.

repukelicons suck!
finally, even their own constituents are waking up.

[wowimthere]

10. PEOPLE are smarter now.

[krkaufman]

26. Not really.

The Republicans are just trying to go a bit too far. The circumstances are different now, so people are reacting to the same old tactics differently. Were the circumstances the same as in 2004, a sufficient herd of people would still be going along.

People aren't any smarter, now; the circumstances are worse.

[Ned_Devine]

12. Yikes!

Awkward!

[Muttocracy]

13. blink....blink....blink....

[DainBramaged]

16. This stupid sonofabitch couldn't even answer these folks

gutless, talking point spewing jackass. "Nobody wants to hear it's the Democrats fault".

"You keep talking about the same old crap over and over again"!

"And you're going to be very suprised at election time."

[truedelphi]

1. SLAD, I cannot tellyou how much I enjoyed this. It was great!

[seemslikeadream]

2. Thank you for reminding me about Pink

[truedelphi]

3. What a very grogeous graphic. Awesome

Did you design it?

What I like about the Pink video and song is she put that together when no one but her and the Dixie Chicks were out there bemoaning the awfulness of Bush.

[aaronbees]

4. Music to my ears

You can detect some real rage in those calls. Have people woken up? I hope so.

[jgraz]

5. Holy crap! What the hell is that thing living on his head?

And don't try to tell me it's hair -- I saw it move!

[The Wizard]

21. He forgot to remove the eyes first. (nt)

6. National debt 2000 $ 6.3 Trillion. National as if today ...$ 9 , 3 9 7 , 9 7 2 , 2 8 9 , 8 4 7 . 0 9

Thats right $ 9.398 Trillion. That is a 30% increase
since Bush took office and required the debt ceiling
to be increased twice since he walked into the Whitehouse

The RePugs have never been fiscally responsible. National
debt also increased dramatically under Reagan, Ford and BushI

But you gotta hand it to Bush II he really knows how to spend
other peoples money and he bankrupted Harken Oil
(Bought out by Bandar Bush) and then went on to managing general
partner of the Texas Rangers and uses his influence to commit
taxpayer to $ 191 Million for a new stadium. The cartel he
controls is also granted carte blanche eminent domain rights
over the property surrounding the sight reaping huge profits
at zero cost for one of the largest urban land grabs in recent
history.

http://espn.go.com/mlb/bush/timeline.html

Fiscal Responsibility for the RePugs means we get to use
the Platinum card but you pay the bill.

[truedelphi]

22. Thank you for showing me what a trillion looks like

I have often wanted to "post" it but didn't know how it should look.

As far as the Repugs and the Platinum Card, you've got it.

They have socialized the financial deals such that we the taxpayers pay for the losses they incur, while if they manage to make a profit, they keep it!

[Monk06]

30. Amen truedelphi. BTW if you want the national debt updated daily in dollars and cents go to

http://www.brillig.com/debt_clock/

It also gives a list of the latest articles
concerning this issue.

This bunch of thieves have turned the most
stable currency in the world in to a form
of industrial pollution that's fouling the
world monetary system. They are a disgrace.

[truedelphi]

37. Now what is the next unit up from a trillion??

I am clueless about the higher math stuff.

[leftchick]

7. good golly that was great!

thanks sweetie!

:)

[seemslikeadream]

23. I just saw that it was on the front page!

[TexasLady]

8. No finer feeling than to hear the masses WAKING UP

And YEAH, repukes, we were right all along.

[Jefferson23]

11. They are SCREWED in 2008...LOL

[stlsaxman]

14. Worth watching twice! n/t

[barbtries]

35. i just saw your post

on my second time around. i wanted to savor it slowly this time. wish i'd had the program on so i could hear how he responded. who is he anyway? obviously republican, but i don't know him.

[ChiciB1]

15. Watched It & Wondered WHY He Actually Appeared.... PLUS... He

kept trying to blame the "Democrat Congress" and simply DENIED any reason or fault for the REPUKES!! He was PATHETIC, but Repukes seem to ALWAYS get their way!! We shall see if his comments stick if Obama wins POTUS!

If blame is going on NOW, before the election, try thinking ahead to what it will be like should the Democrats win the Presidency!!

[hokies4ever]

17. "Bill Clinton looked like a physical conservative compared to the Republicans under Bush."

:rofl:

[yellerpup]

18. Cue laugh track.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Juan_de_la_Dem]

19. Enter Stone Face Stage Right

What a beat down.

[The Wizard]

20. Saw this segment

He is a first class, certified, prevaricating, dissembling Republican tool reciting the talking points given out by Karl Rove. His constituents are getting taxed without representation.

[efhmc]

29. I am curious to know if anyone called with support for him and

bush?

[defendandprotect]

24. Great to hear . . . !!!

I think getting on the tails of these individuals in office is one of the most helpful things --
and hope that the C-span callers continue to wake up!!!

We're still a long way from the truth: If it weren't for stolen elections and political violence over decades these people wouldn't be in office, they'd be in jail somewhere!!!

[Caretha]

25. I keep remembering

all these stupid ass republicans calling in to C-SPAN 3 years ago with quite a different tune. Well the roosters have come home to roost - and I don't forgive a single damn one of them for being stupid asses then or now.

[defendandprotect]

28. Used to watch C-Span a great deal --- the "Gringrich Revolution" pretty much

knocked them out --

Even with the split in Dem/GOP phone lines, it always seemed that we were one way or another
hearing from right wing people . . . . I gave up listening.

[annabanana]

27. Hoo-EE! Did he ever get a load of whoop-ass unloaded on HIM!

People shouldn't fear their government indeed!

[MannyGoldstein]

31. I Think The Rethugs Will Soon Impeach Bush

They need a sacrificial lamb to die for their sins.

Otherwise they will be obliterated in November,

[curiousdemo]

32. This congressman came on the inteview...

set standing at 5'10 feet tall, but he probably 2'6 feet tall about now. Hey..Hey...I'm a midget. :cry:

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

33. This guy got roasted by Lou Dobbs a few weeks ago

He was defending the credit card companies and their ridiculous fine print policies. He just had a permasmirk while Dobbs went after him as being nothing more than looking out for the big corporations as opposed to the average guy.

[bleever]

34. Hey, that was pretty good.

God bless the recently awakened GOP voters, even if it is incredibly fucking late.

[Aragorn]

36. what a hack

I just got a 3 page reply to my complaint about FISA violations ( sent via ACLU email petition) that was so much illogical BS I could only laugh. I am a TX physician. My law scholl daughter found it even more offensive, if I may speak (type) for her.

This guy has always been a joke - a local/area party hack in a repub area with little to qualify him for office aside from that. Which leads to the obvious question - Why interview him an anything at all in the first place?

I plan to donate heavily to his democratic opponent - as well as to Obama. This FUd stuff has got to stop!

BTW the local VFW supposedly protested my anti-war lit 3 times (which included an upside-down flag) until they finally actually READ what the articles in my office window actually said. For the past year all comments have been positive. I hope and suspect that even in this East Texas district the repubs will lose this year.
