Talk Elections

Adam Carolla Reacts to Trump’s announcement speech in New Hampshire

As much I enjoy watching Donald Trump in the Apprentice I did not expect this announcement and tone of it what so ever.

This man is not going to be the nominee if he acts like this what so ever.  He is unfit to hold a public office what so ever!
*Crowd boos*

Also about this wall. The United States is not going to be able to afford such a project as that and if he did such a thing we would be so much in debt that it would take a fortnight to get it all down.

We are almost 20$ trillion dollars in debt and it will keep going that way if we keeping spending money on nonsense like this!!

However when and if I am president we will set a balence budget amendment and a government so small I can barley see it.

*Crowd cheers and starts shouting Carolla*

Carolla’s schedule for September 2011

Carolla spent the first part of the month campagining in Iowa and talking about ending NAFTA and all other free trade agreement.
Carolla quoted them as “Power to corporations more and less to working people and that it makes up less competitive”

Carolla said that he will fight for actually free trade and not restricted agreements.

Phil Bredesen would spend the days leading up to the Debate not only prepping, but also commenting on Obama's policies and stating his own ideas for a policy. Maintaining his harsh criticisms of President Obama, Phil would attack perhaps Obama's greatest accomplishment, the Affordable care act, stating that all it was doing was forcing Americans to pay for Healthcare. Healthcare that they didn't want. His Campaign would consist of him travelling in the states of Nevada, New Hampshire, Florida, South Carolina, Iowa, Michigan, and Tennessee. Here are some of what he stated in his rallies thus far:

September 2nd, 2011
Columbia, South Carolina (Attendance: 45,768)
Talks about Tax Cuts

Hello, Coloumbia. I must say it feels really good to be in another southern state. Give me a sense of the Home field advantage. *laughs* But Columbia, listen. These past few years have been hard on you, haven't they? You have had to deal with high taxes that you simply didn't want to pay for.
 All of America had to. Obama imposed high taxes in a seven stage bracket that,in all honesty, made little sense to begin with. All he has done is make sure the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.
 That isn't the American dream last time I heard about it. I promise you, Columbia, if I'm elected to be president, I will work with both parties in congress to remove these harmful taxes that is hemorrhaging our poor. I will introduce a 3 tier bracket, one with 24% Taxes; 28% Taxes and 32% Taxes. That is want the poor citizen needs. Not high taxes, but manageable taxes that make sure they actually have a sustainable income. You have been amazing, Columbia. God Bless you!



September 12th, 2011
Detroit, Michigan
Rally on lowering Corporate tax rate (Attendance: 92,000)

Detroit, can I ask you, have you suffered? Have you felt the change Obama promised you? From what I can see, the answer if yes but it's not the positive kind of yes. Booming steel industries that you once worked for, Factories that gave you an Honest Day's pay, gone. It is, in all honesty, the fault of Obama. He raised our Corporate Tax rates to the Highest in the world and thus, our jobs, YOUR jobs, have been forced to leave or get taxed harshly. I don't think that's fair to you. I don't think that's fair to the companies. I don't think that's fair to anyone. I want to give America Back her Jobs. Trust me when I say, support me and I'll get those jobs back for you. I will lower the Corporate Tax Rate from the 30th percentile to 20-22%. This will encourage jobs to return to America. This will encourage economic growth, but more importantly, this will mean you won't have to look your children in the eye and lie to them by saying everything will be ok even though you can't find a job. I hope you will look deep inside who you choose when it does come time to choose,
 for I will always be here, for you. God bless you all! Cheers echo as Bredesen leaves the stage.

Well, the answer is very obvious for that. We need to have limited government intervention in the Economy to keep it afloat but the biggest thing we need to understand is that giving Tax cuts and lowering our Corporate tax rates will give our economy a jump start that it hasn't seen in years. The reasons Small Businesses can't really branch out more is because of the high corporate tax rate that we have. The Bigger companies, like Ford, Toyota, Honda, y'know, the companies Obama drove out with his Corporate Tax Rate Plan, are actually important to our Economy. We can't tax them to oblivion. That idea is just stupid unless you want a constantly broken economy. Once these jobs return, we can begin to inject a steroid into the Economy for a good number of years. Jobs equals lowering unemployment which means a better Economy. That is a simple fact.

And then we need to lower and simplify our Tax cuts. Because of how high our current taxes our, the Rich can't invest in jobs, the stock market, or small businesses because they're afraid to be taxed to Oblivion from it. We lower our taxes, we get more investors. The investment in businesses, the higher the stock market gets. This is the Ideal Economy that America needs because the economy that Obama has given us isn't an economy, it's a failure.

1.- It seems one of the main concerns of rank and file Republicans is the Health Care debate and the issues that come from Obamacare. If elected President, would you repeal Obamacare? What would you replace it with?

I'd once again like to take this opportunity to thank Lumine for this wonderful debate that he has put together, truly great work. Right then, I'll get straight to the point, if elected president, I will seek to completely repeal Obamacare. We don't need a replacement, we need the free market to run its course while lacking red tape. I am on board with Senator Rand Paul on this one, and actually would like to take this time to announce that he is the Chambliss Presidential Campaign selection for HHS Secretary if we are elected.

2.- As unemployment not only fails to drop but increases in some parts of the country, there is a spirited debate about the best way to create new jobs and lower unemployment for good. Why are you a better choice than your fellow candidates when it comes to creating jobs?

Why? Because I am the one to be born into nothing and made a man out of my self. I am the one with the business administration degree from the University of Georgia, I am the one who saw hard work up close as I worked my way through college in a bakery, I am the one who was on the Agriculture committee that had so many job creating innovations, until the job killig democrats took over in '06. I am qualified for this, believe me.


7.- To Senator Chambliss: Senator, your campaign has come under very heavy fire over derogatory comments towards Governor Jindal, to the point in which the RNC has casted doubts on your campaign. Do you still believe it was wise to refer to the Governor in such a manner?

Yes, I do believe it was wise. The American people deserve to hear the truth no matter how nasty it may be. And there is much more, but I gave the American people a taste of what Governor Jindal is like. I did not just make those comments out of thin air, you know, they are grounded in truth, Governor Jindal made them that way, we just outed him. We also have some more information regarding Governor Jindal that will be released shortly.

Well, I'd like to thank The American people for hearing me out, and hopefully it is now clear that I am the best choice for America. Thank yall and God Bless Georgia and America!

()

Thank you thank you South Carolina! Great to be here in Myrtle Beach, I am truly honored. I am Judson Hill, Campaign Manager for The Chambliss Presidential Campaign. And we are here to campaign for traditional Southern values (cheers). And we are going to do that by kicking out Obama and bringing back conservatism! This can only be accomplished with the right Republican nominee, and that is Saxby Chambliss, and not Bobby Jindal! (many cheers). Now y'all have heard a lot of Senator Chambliss' policies in his marvelous performance at the first primary debate (many cheers), but what y'all need to hear now is of another scandal regarding Bobby Jindal (many oo's and boos). Now we sent Don Huffines down to Terrebonne Parish after our counsel Ken Cuccinelli discovered a scandal while doing some research. Here it goes folks, a Farmer by The Name of Brian Bixby gave us this tape from his CCTV Camera, dated July 7th 2009 11:33am. Mr. Bixby is a chicken farmer and caught Bobby Jindal breaking into his property and chicken-diddling on one of his properties while in the area on a agriculture ingenuity trip organized by the LFB. I guess he just could not help himself, here we are distributing the flyers now:

(shocks and gasps) Now I have no idea what Piyoosh was doing, but he needs shoosh from this race. The presidency and America is better than this, do not elect this disgraceful man, god only knows what happens to em cows (thunderous applause and laughter)... See America, you needed to know the truth. Thank you for the opportunity to speak to y'all, and we are going to keep campaigning and working hard for the fate of America (applause). Thank y'all, and God Bless The State of South Carolina and The United States of America! (thunderous applauses and jeers).

Clark for President, September Schedule:

September 1st, 2011:

Announcement

September 2nd, 2011:

Wesley Clark campaigned in Little Rock, Arkansas talking to local citizens and having breakfast with his Campaign members and volunteers.

September 3rd, 2011:

General Clark decided to drive to Charleston, West Virginia to pitch his message to coal miners and just normal citizens.

Charleston, WV Rally (Attendance: 5,348):


Supporters of Wesley Clark cheer as the General takes the stage.

”...People keep talking about Obama’s war on coal. I’ve seen it before my eyes, it’s like they’re trying to take your jobs! Look we can balance the need for a clean environment with peoples jobs, that’s perfectly reasonable. Politicians just don’t want you to believe that can be done. We absolutely need to tax carbon emissions and make sure coal mine waste doesn’t get into our drinking water, and start switching to newer types of energy slowly. We can absolutely keep towns and communities intact, though! Overall I’m for more green energy and such, but if we stop trying to immediately rid people of their jobs and look at a smart and strategic way to do this, everything can be solved!...”

*claps and loud cheering after Clark finishes his overall one hour speech*

Lunch at McDonalds with campaign volunteers in Charleston, WV.

September 4th, 2011:

Rally in Huntington, WV (Attendance: 7,604):

”...The Democratic Party has left West Virginia. Wanna know why? Because the Democratic Party abandoned its values! So they lost some previously very loyal supporters. I promise you, as President I shall be a hell of a lot more than loyal! We’re gonna change this country, and truly reform broken down policies!!! Thank you, and please help elect me President of the United States!!!...”

September 5th, 2011-September 9th, 2011:

Wesley Clark took some time off from the campaign trail and spent time with family, and flew to Oregon on the eighth in preparation for a major rally.

September 10th, 2011:

Rally in Eugene, OR (Attendance: 10,004):

”...Look at the despicable candidates on the Republican side!!! It’s crazy what they believe in. Yenno I like some of the more libertarian candidates issues on some policies but the rest... damn, it’s a circus with these people!!! It’ll be a third term of Dubya I tell you!! The President isn’t much better either, he’s just continuing to pull America down a very unstable path, and I as an American citizen can’t watch this any longer!!! *massive cheers from the crowd* I cant stand to see what’s going on. Some people ask why I’m running as an independent. It’s because both parties are broken. They’re not for you. They’re not for the common man. Look, I care about each and every one of you. Sure, I can’t talk to each and every one of you but I wish I could. Instead, I can make you a promise. To try and work every day as hard as damn possible to make your lives better, and to pull you up and keep you safe. You think some of these guys wake up every morning thinking that? You think some of these career politicians think of how to make peoples lives better every morning they wake up? The straight answer is no. Very few people think that way. I think that way, because if an elected official is lucky enough to be elected and entrusted, he needs to hold a lot of responsibility. You don’t get that with this current White House Administration, and you didn’t get it with the last one either!!!...”

September 11th, 2011:

All campaigning is paused in remembrance for the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

September 12th, 2011:

Rally in Portland, OR (Attendance: 12,345):

”...Look at how the President of the United States parades himself like he’s accomplished something!!! Look at how he acts, when he’s being challenged by three serious contenders for the Democratic Nomination!!! Three!!! Now I have love for some of their policies, their true core policies which help the common man, but President Obama and the current Democratic Party Establishment don’t care about the common man!!! One challenger is bad enough, but three!?!?! Give me a break. I haven’t even gotten into his foreign policy yet, ugh. It’s a shame folks. It’s a shame. But, I have faith and confidence that the country will elect its first non partisan President this November. I have faith that we can restore our place in the world. I have faith that we can be that shining city on a hill. And I have faith that we can overcome all of our challenges if we work together!!! Thank you, Good Night, and God Bless America!!!... *numerous applause and balloons fill the venue*”

September 13th-September 16th, 2011:

September 16th, 2011:

General Clark toured Anchorage before having a massive rally there.

Rally in Anchorage, AK (Attendance: 8,730):

”...I have faith that we can carry Alaska. You can see that both parties don’t care about how Alaska fares and can help Alaska move forward. You don’t see Mrs. Palin doing a lot to help Alaska either!!! Look at her, she’s acting like she’s President. She abandoned Alaska, abandoned it. If I was yalls Governor I would never leave, it’s so nice here. God, if she’s the nominee I’ll laugh. Y’all don’t wanna vote for someone like her. I don’t know who would be worse, Palin or a rock as President. They both got the same damn intelligence quota. The Republicans clearly don’t care about you, and the Democrats don’t either. Try something new. Try Clark. I’ll go to Washington the first day and I’ll be hitting the ground running, fighting for you. Fighting for Alaska, and fighting for America! Thank you!!!...”

Let me tell you California, Obama is no President for you!!! Look at how much people the President is deporting too!!! Now look, we need a border and a strong one. However, we need to be working and spending our resources on making it easier to become an American citizen, not deporting grandmas and parents of children, and valuable members of our society!!!...”

September 22nd-24th, 2011:

Wesley Clark takes a break from campaigning to spend time with family.  

September 25th, 2011:

General Clark boards an early morning flight to Cleveland, Ohio, and talks with some of the passengers on the plane. Many request a picture, even staunch conservatives had nothing but the best to say about the General.

September 26th, 2011:

Rally in Cleveland, OH (Attendance: 34,001)

”...My, oh my. We have over thirty thousand people here!!! I don’t remember the last time a third party has made so much impact!!! Damn!!! Thank you America!!! Hah, don’t y’all worry. We’re gonna get this country right back on track!!!...”

Rally in Cincinnati, OH (Attendance: 40,022)

”...I love your friend and former mayor, Dennis Kucinich!!! Wish that guy would endorse me already!!! He’s a good guy, you’re a lucky city, Cincinnati!!! You’ll be even luckier after together we can break the stranglehold of the two party system though!!! Damn, I watched both party debates over again and... it’s terrifying. There’s only a couple candidates who I wouldn’t be absolutely mortified by, but we can still do better. The front runners are atrocious! America can surely do better! And we will!!!...”

The remainder of September:

General Clark took the remainder of September off to spend time with family and call former political office holders. He also decided to have a text- livestream where he answered supporters’ and non supporters’ questions. By the end, everyone who had participated in the chat massively had nothing but the best to say about General Clark. He’s resonating.

1.- It seems one of the main concerns of rank and file Republicans is the Health Care debate and the issues that come from Obamacare. If elected President, would you repeal Obamacare? What would you replace it with?

This is a good question, but one I will not answer the way my opponents will, we don't like 'big government', but this Big Government program is not Socialism like some of my fellow Republicans may call it. Obamacare provides healthcare for millions of Americans, Usually I think about how things are going to effect the people I know and love and those in my own district, but when I first read ObamaCare I knew it was going to be good for the American people, some parts of it are not the best, but we can repeal those parts and replace them with what is going to be best for the American people.


I will be accused of being a RINO, but Im not Im not a RINO and personally I don't like the terms and labels "Republican" and "Democrat" I like the term American that is what we all are isn't it? We are Americans We fought the British 200 years ago we fought the Nazis 70 years ago and We fought communism in the world for the last 60 years. We are all Patriotic in our own ways, but it doesnt matter if your Blue or Red Republican or Democrat, Conservative or Liberal. We all stand in common on this stage and in this nation, we love our country and we will fight for this country.



My father worked for his living as did his father and many of you watching this debate right now do to, I did too we don't make all the decisions you the American people do, and the American people have spoken, They want ObamaCare and I will not disrespect the American people for what they want as that is not what the Representative of all of them is supposed to do.

2.- As unemployment not only fails to drop but increases in some parts of the country, there is a spirited debate about the best way to create new jobs and lower unemployment for good. Why are you a better choice than your fellow candidates when it comes to creating jobs?



Thank you, I only have a simple response to this one, Taxes! Taxes! Taxes! We cannot continue to tax these corporations at the rate we are now it will lead to ruin not just for the American way of life, but for the American People and our Economy. We don't need to lower taxes just on Corporations, but on the working man and woman too. In my Congressional District there is a town about the same size as the average American town, about 8000 people this town is called Three Rivers, and there is a factory there called American Axel this factor employees 2000 people in a town of 8000, this would be disaster if it left, and it is just trying to make a profit, but the Corporate Tax rate is just too damn high! The People there are represented by the UAW great people I have met with them multiple times and they agree the workers at the Plant are just trying to make a living but the Government is taxing them too damn high! Im not calling for the elimination of the Government, but Im calling for lowering the taxes just a little bit so we can let the harding working people of the UAW and all hard working Americans to have life be just a little bit easier out there.



10.- To Congressman Upton: Congressman, in your open speech you noted the need for bipartisanship and you have been noted as one of the more moderate candidates in the race, if not the most. Do you think such views are really in tune with the primary voters?



People say the extreme wins votes in primaries, it doesn't what wins you votes in the primaries, is electability we have had an alright Presidency these years under President Obama, but we don't need "alright" what we need is a return the days before the Iraq War before this large Budget deficit and before the disasters of the last 40 years, I want not a return to Reagan or Bush or Clinton, but a RETURN TO NORMALCY! God Bless you all and God Bless the United States of America!


(WGH Please dont sue me)

Well, Their intentions are good, I'll give them that. I'm all for ending unemployment, inequality, and bank bailouts, but the thing is, protesting does nothing. That's just a fact. If protesting did do something, then Obama would be replaced b a republican right now, which would indeed be awful. They are unintentionally disrupting the economy by doing this as because of this, people who are just doing their job can't do their job, leading to slower growth in the economy, leading to more inequality and unemployment, which will in fact lead to even more protesting.


It's a cycle that will always repeat itself because the big people at Wall Street won't care about you. The only real way to inact change is to vote with your gut. Will vote for the man who allowed all this to happen or will you vote for someone fresh and new who will bring health to the Economy and will shrink unemployment, inequality and our debt and will not do a single bank bailout for the big banks. I will also stamp out corruption, greed and other such nonsense for by having my own independent, private investigator looking at these allegations and finding out who is guilty and who isn't sure we can clean up wall street.


I say this: I will not turn Libya into another Iraq. We are still reeling back from Iraq when all the chaos in Libya started that we can't get involved unless it is very necessary. Despite being a tyrant and a megalomaniac, oppressing his people and keeping them from their civil rights, there is no denying that Gaddafi is a stabilizing force in the region, much like Saddam was in the middle East until we got rid of him. With that being said, I think we should sit and watch to see if someone who truly holds democratic values and do not act like total Animals appears. If there is no such group, then we will financially support Gaddafi to at least see an attempt to return to stability. Nothing more, nothing less. the moment the civil war is finished, I will pull all financial funding from Gaddafi and challenge his oppressive regime. There can be no mistaking that this could be another Iraq and we must tread very, very carefully.


I don't know, why don't you look at the Gubernatorial election of Tennessee in 2006 and tell me. *laughs* but in all seriousness, A majority of us are "out of touch" with most Democrats, but that's because these liberals are on a slippery slope. You are already seeing the massive following Senator Bernie Sanders has. Now let's make it abundantly clear that I am not a fan of Bernie Sanders nor do I enjoy any of his policies. He is taking young Democrats who don't know anybody and turning into hardline socialists without any of them actually looking into it and seeing how much socialism ruined several countries.

But to really answer your question, I don't think there is a contradiction that the Blue Dog Democrats are a better choice for Democrats. After all, Bill Clinton was a blue dog and He was given a ton of support by Everyone. 8 years later, Our economy was doing great, we had a large National Surplus, Unemployment was almost a non-factor. Look at my track record in Tennessee and compare them to Bill Clinton. In your eyes, I may be an elite conservative who thinks to highly of himself, but I am just like any other Democrat through and through. The only real way for you to know if I'm good for you is to choose me and see if I will enact your Interests.


Now America, you are 100% in your right to choose whomever you support. Support whomever you think will be the best for America, that is completely within your right to do so. But our Economy is on the downturn, our global standing is a joke, and our unemployment situation gets worse and worse. This is something that cannot go on. That's why I'm running, to be the candidate who wants to enact real change, not talk about but never do like President Obama has done. When it come time to vote, remember this: Do I want more of the same or do I want to give a blue dog who has really proven himself in his home state a chance? Thank you for letting me be here, it was great.

"Hello, Iowa! I want to ask you a very specific question: Are you ready for Change? Crowd goes silent "I thought that would happen. 4 years ago you gave a man who talked about change your vote. Now where look where you are right now. Your state is in tatters, your religion threatened by Obama's 'Diversity'. That is not what a state as beautiful as this place should have happen to it. This state should be a place where everyone is free to their own religion and your own viewpoints. All of America should be. Obama has ignored that and do to his ignoring, you have suffered. I ask you if you want to continue to suffer. Do you think you're better now ago then you were four years ago? If you are, then the answer is obvious, but if not, well, there's always another option. Thank you, Des Moines! You've been great! God Bless you all!"


"Hello Concord! Great city, lovely state. Might move here if I ever retire one day. *laughs*In all seriousness, though, I'm here to talk about Free Trade vs Protectionism. Mainly, Protectionism. New Hampshire, you constantly trade away the goods you and other states made for little or no return meanwhile, countries like Japan, China, and Mexico get wealthy off of your hard work. That is not what I think when I see a good worker who's trying to make a living. Instead of you getting your money from what you make, other countries do and then they force us to pay even more to buy their things or the things that were supposed to be made over there. That. Is. Ludicrous. If you choose me, I will do the same thing to these countries what they're doing to us. I will raise tariffs to 50% for 4 months and then negotiate the countries. If they refuse to lower tariffs, then I will keep the tariffs in place until they do. Once That is done, we would secure a truly good job for trade so I do think it's time for change in that department. God Bless you all, great state of New Hampshire!"


"Florida, Florida, Florida. God, it's great to be here, beautiful place, if a bit hot." *laughs with crowd* Now, let's talk about healthcare." *crowd Goes Silent.* "I had a feeling that would happen. We heave to talk about it though. Obamacare premiums are projected to rise by a few projectiles every few years that, by 2018, 50% of you will not be able to pay for them. That's ridiculous. Healthcare is something that should be a choice and should be easily accessible. Now, do I want free Healthcare? No, look at Canada for the reason why. The waiting lines for treatment for Cancer and other diseases are so long that some people don't even make it to treatment. That's the problem with free healthcare. Instead, what I want to do is repeal Obamacare and the Affordable Care Act, which is a bit of a contradiction by now, don't you think? and allow smaller healthcare businesses rule the market, keeping premiums and pricing at an affordable rate. Doesn't that sound Amazing, Tallahassee?" * Crowd Cheers Loudly* "God Bless you, I hope to see you even more on the Campaign Trail!"


"Hello, Rocky top!" *Crowd cheers and shout Phil's last name multiple times until Phil signals for them to quiet down* "Thank you, Thank you. It's been great coming back here and seeing all the things that really matter in this state. Now, I want to speak with you about Foreign Policy. I got asked the question in the debate about Libya and I simply said that I would support Gaddafi only for the country's continued stability after the war there ends. Now, make no mistake, if there are any, and I do mean ANY, reports of crimes against Humanity from Gaddafi, I will pull all support from him and leave him to rot, because no tyrant that massacres their people deserves America's aid. Now let's get onto Iraq and Afghanistan. Both those countries have significant US forces there but for a perfectly good reason. To keep the peace there. We withdraw now, it's believed that both countries will back into the hands of tyrants. We can't let that happen. We Just can't. I want a permanent US deployment of 15,000 troops in Afghanistan and 27,000 US troops in Iraq for an entire term of President. After me, the next president can decide whether or not withdrawing the troops will be a good idea. It's not my call. I just want to make sure that both countries are stable for 4-8 years more before pulling out."

"Now, let's go to Pakistan. Fairly simple enough. If they have Al Queda locations and they aren't doing anything about it, they aren't doing their part in the War on Terror and the race to find Bin Laden. I dare even say that Osama is located somewhere in Pakistan and is being given sanctuary by them. If he is, then I think you agree with me when I say "Screw your borders, we're going in and taking him out!" *Crowd cheers as Phil leaves after giving a God Bless you to the citizens and prepares to leave for his last major stop.*


"Reno, let's talk about immigration. Our border policies are very slack and thousands of illegal immigrants cross the border every year. Those who get deported STILL come back too. Now don't call me a Trump 2.0, I do not like the ideas that man are spewing. No, Mr. Trump, Not all Mexicans are drug dealers and not all of them are rapists. For the GOP to even consider electing someone like that to be their nominee shows how far they've fallen. Back onto my main point, Immigration is very Lax. that is certainly no lie. Because of that, Illegals come through practically every year with no real thing happening to them. Meanwhile, they take the jobs from legal immigrants and from average hard working Americans. I have two ideas to stop this issue. Part 1 is to build a long series of Fencing stretching from California to Texas. Once that is in place, we will have 5-10 guards per every section of fencing to make sure illegals don't try to get over it. You want to be here, you have to come here legally. Part 2 is to deport every illegal immigrant in this country and continue to deport them until they come here legally. If they don't come here legally, it proves only one thing, they are only here to take advantage of our generosity by not really doing anything. Now for one time illegals, there will be no punishment other than being sent back. For repeat offenders, however, I will jail them for 4 months and then send them back to teach them that coming here illegally is not the way. Thank you, Nevada, you've been spectacular!

Phil Would continue the rest of his campaign by visiting Ohio, Missouri, Texas, Wisconsin, New York, Virginia, California, and Arizona, delivering the same talking points that he did in the previous seven speeches. On September 30th, he would travel between Philadelphia, Pittsburg, Baltimore, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Columbus, Chicago, Louisville, Richmond, Arlington, and Albany to  give his speeches, do several fundraisers and raise his support among the Nation. Now, prepared for October, Phil Bredesen is ready to give the President and Senator Hillary Clinton one hell of a fight.

ADAM CAROLLA’s PRESIDENTAL DEBATE ANSWERS ANSWERS

1.Well I have respect for Congressman Paul a lot actually and I appreciate what he has done for the liberty movement.
However I feel like he is too old to have another go and I feel like follow in his footsteps and run on a populist Libertarian platform like me.

As for differences well I am more moderate on some issues than Mr Paul like I want to reform Wall Street and separate corporations and the government for good.  

Another big one is despite the rumors that I would cut Medicare and Medicaid when Mr Paul wants to abolish.

I want to fix the broken mess of the system. You got too many scams and frauds and people cheating the system and I believe as President I will work with whatever House or Senate and fix these programs.

Also I don’t believe in no government. I believe in small government.

I feel my like beliefs are just like a Calvin Coolidge’s  rather than Paul’s. And I don’t think that’s a bad time.


2.Well as President I will go for a competitive free market health care that let you not the government decide and to try to fight the pharmaceutical from trying to preforming a monopoly of

Obamacare is a total gift to those type of groups.

Buying good healthcare and health insurance should be cheap and easy but it isn’t and President Obama’s has shown us this with his biggest lie yet “Obamacare”

And the fact that Mitt Romney as governor gave your people something like this and that ended horribly now wants to abolish something that he started in is a flip flop if there ever is one.

Mean Obamacare has been a total lied from day 1.  We would told that there would be no taxes but there ends up being several of them on this program. He said we could keep our doctor and plan and that turn out to be a lie. We were told premiums would go down but guess what? They went way up!

As a matter of fact Obamacare is just one big tax that is disguised as a healthcare system and President I will repeal and replace everything single word of Obamacare!!!

3.Well first as President I would cut back all job killing regulations especially the ones set in by the current administration.  Then I would cut enough spending to balence the budget and create a balence budget amendment so that we never have to go over the edge on government spending again.

Think about it we spend on things that we never use and and spend on things that don’t really work or we really care about.  And someone we forget about it

Then we are going to cut taxes and replace the IRS with a 15-20% flat tax. I promise a tax cut in every single bracket and income and rewrite the American tax code and make it simpler for all Americans and businesses. I am going to make sure that you will get more money in your pocket and in your paycheck.

I will gut all these uncalled for taxes like the death and the property tax.   As a matter of fact there are so many taxes you actually don’t even know of and you are paying of them and you do even know it.

Trust me I live in California and the amount of paperwork in taxes I have to play for is astonishing.

This hidden taxes and fees should be money that you should be in your hands not the governments.

Another thing killing jobs is these so called free trade agreements like NAFTA and CAFTA

They are not free trade what so ever. They are indeed the opposite of Free trade and have resulted in losing jobs to Mexico and China and to big corporations.  

I visited people in Iowa who’s jobs and living were destroyed over these deals and how we Americans should should take a second look at what we have done. Those hard good paying jobs were killed and got sent to another country only this time it’s made in worse conditions than before.

And as President in my first week I will repeal every one of these major fair trade deals and give those jobs to Americans again.

In conclusion yes I am not a politician however what I am is a American. I have been disappointed in recent years over this administration however I still have hope for this country. Not the hope that Obama and the Democrats want but a America where the government puts its people first and special interests last.
I said it before and I will say it again.  America is tired of a politician that is a liar and that acts all rebellious and tough until they get into office and turn out to be the exact same as the person before.

I unlike most of the people here are not being payed to say these. I speak from the heart I am being real here.  


So here’s my pledge to you. I will be a chief executive that will have the back of the country. I wouldn’t talk down to the people. I won’t be a divider in chief. I won’t be out there talking a big game without backing it up.

I believe we can get out there and get into business and go out there and create a more peaceful America and World.  Good night.

Obama debate answers

1. We are in a large amount of problems right now, but over the past four years, we have made many improvements. But for a second term, my plan is this. One, I will lower the tax rate for businesses. It is necessary for a short term lowering of strain on our businesses, so they can achieve their potential and hire more people. Jobs are what we need in a time like this. Second, we will make it much harder for companies to outsource jobs by ending deductions for those that do. Third, we will start to unleash the potential of alternative energy. This will not only propel us into a clean 21st century economy, it will also create millions of jobs at the same time.

2. The Occupy Wall Street protestors have a point. In some ways, they are similar to the Tea Party movement, in other ways, they have completely different political viewpoints. The most important thing we can do right now is those of us in leadership letting people know that we understand their struggles and we are on their side, and that we want to set up a system in which hard work, responsibility, doing what you’re supposed to do, is rewarded.

3. I believe that we shouldn't have are boots on the ground there. Eventually we are going to have major problems if we get involved in Libya. We could be getting into another Iraq war. We need to stop before we get into something dangerous.

1 (Specific): I believe that I am a well rounded Democrat on pretty much every issue. As to Senator Feingold and Governor Bredesen, they are both either too conservative, or too far to the left to address the conserns of American democrats or Americans in general. As for Hillary, there was a reason why people didn't want her to be the nominee four years ago. If she were elected, we would probably still be in Iraq, we would be in Libya, and we would have the blood of our soldiers on our hands. She is a good person, but her hawkish positions and conservative ideals make her a dangerous individual to nominate or hand the presidency to.

Hillary Clinton Campaign Schedule
September 1 to September 30, 2011


September 1 to September 4: Senator Clinton holds a series of events in New York City and the surrounding area. The schedule includes a meeting with members of the Center Against Domestic Violence, a tour of John Bowne High School in Queens, and a walking tour of New York City with members of the Patrolmen's Benevolent Association of the City of New York. The Clinton Campaign has titled these events a "Listening Tour" that will help Senator Clinton "get to know the issues that are at the heart of the discontent in America". A fundraiser in the Hamptons was held, with former President Clinton in attendance.

September 5 to September 10: Senator Clinton's Listening Tour continued in New Hampshire. The Senator met with the Young Democrats of New Hampshire in Manchester and discussed the importance of youth turnout. She also visited several VFW and American Legion posts across the state, using the meetings to hear first-hand about the struggles veterans face in civilian life. Senator Clinton met with Governor John Lynch to discuss the budding drug crisis in the state. Senator Jeanne Shaheen joined Senator Clinton during her tour of the state.

September 11: Senator Clinton returned to New York City the morning of September 11 to attend a service at Ground Zero. After the service, she met with first responders from the attack and families of victims. No campaign events were held.

September 12 to September 21: Before leaving New York City, Senator Clinton went to Zuccotti Park and met with members of the Occupy protest in an effort to get a better grasp of their positions. She then took an Amtrak to Washington, D.C. for Senate business. Senator Clinton did not take part in any campaign events, but campaign offices were opened and field staff were hired.

September 22 to September 28: The Clinton Campaign's Listening Tour shifted to Florida at the end of September. Senator Clinton held meetings with Cuban refugees and discussed the state of Cuban-American relations. She took part in a roundtable discussion on climate change with Floridians affected by recent hurricanes, such as Ike and Rina. The Senator also attended a meeting of the Florida Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. Florida Senator Bill Nelson joined Senator Clinton during her tour of the state.

September 29 and September 30: Senator Clinton flew to Nevada after leaving Florida. She began with a tour of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, where she met with members of the Student Government Association. She also attended a meeting of the College Democrats of UNLV and a meeting with several college administrators, discussing the rising cost of higher education with both groups.

On September 30, Senator Clinton held her first true rally of the campaign at Sam Boyd Stadium in Whitney, Nevada. She used the Whitney speech to promote her economic agenda, calling it "a plan for the working class". She laid out her proposal for tax cuts for the middle class, increasing penalties for companies with off-shore accounts, and introducing the summer Gas Tax Holiday. Senator Clinton lamented the Obama Administration for "listening to the financal analysts who say the economy is back on track. If the President and his staff actually got out into the street and talked to real people, they'd know what I've been saying for years. The Great Recession is not over. The stock market is abysmal. People are suffering. I'm here today to offer my hand, to help life up every America let down by this White House."

Adam Carolla’s anti war speech in Reno Nevada

President Obama’s has lied once again to the Amercian people.  He promised that there would be no wars and that he would see a troop withdrawal in Iraq.  But still I haven’t heard of a troop withdrawal. However I have heard of a troop surge of 10,000 into Iraq in 2012. *Crowd boos and chants lying Berry* and he is now gotten us into another possible endless war in Libya.  And to make it worse Hillary Clinton,Mitt Romney ,Sarah Palin,Donald Trump and most of the rest would probably do the same.

However when I am president I will get our troops out of Iraq and stop the Libyan crisis before it gets too out of hand.
*Crowd cheers*

1.- It seems one of the main concerns of rank and file Republicans is the Health Care debate and the issues that come from Obamacare. If elected President, would you repeal Obamacare? What would you replace it with?

First, I'd like to thank Lumine for hosting this great debate.

But next, I'd like to show America that unlike other candidates, I don't just chant "repeal Obamacare!" I have a real plan once Obamacare is repealed. But first, let me quickly explain why we need to replace Obamacare, as it seems that explanations for Obamacare are in short supply.

The main problem with Obamacare is that to fulfill the requirements of making it a universal health care system, it uses charges and taxes to achieve this. A good example of this is the individual mandate. This makes Americans who currently don't have health insurance and don't or can't buy health insurance pay a fee to the IRS. Originally, the fee was capped at $280 a year. However, the fee will in the future be capped at just over $2000 a year, which many poor Americans can't afford. And the total costs to taxpayers over a decade will reach three trillion dollars. Another problem is that health care providers are simply pulling out of regional exchanges due to the costs imposed by Obamacare to maintain them. And with less insurers, there is less choice, and less choice is bad for competitiveness and citizens.

So how can we replace this system? Well, the simplest way would just be to wipe out Obamacare and leave healthcare to the free market. However, this does not ensure that citizens will get the best health coverage, as rising health care costs would come back like they were before Obamacare was implemented. Between 1975 and 2005, health care costs rose 2% faster than normal economic growth (per-person).

This is where my plan comes through. First, my plan would include refundable tax credits to offset the cost of paying for a new health care system while still being able to maintain it. Obamacare does nothing to address taxpayers' concerns, but my plan will. And, to ensure that those who use the system more get more back, these tax credits increase with age. But in addition to credits, there would also be a cap on the employer exemption, so that Americans can know that they have the freedom to choose where they want their insurance from without penalty of cost, but also the government would not go farther in debt. This is all the time I have for know, but I will explain more of my system in-depth on the campaign trail.

2.- As unemployment not only fails to drop but increases in some parts of the country, there is a spirited debate about the best way to create new jobs and lower unemployment for good. Why are you a better choice than your fellow candidates when it comes to creating jobs?

As Governor of Louisiana, I made sure that our unemployment stayed well below the national average during the recession. It never went over 7.8%, while the nation exceeded 10%. During that same period, Louisiana added over 78,000 new jobs and our private sector job growth was 5%, which ranked us in the top five states in the nation. Our year-over-year job count has grown for 47 consecutive months. Our total non-farm paid employment is at our state's highest total in history. And this has attracted growth. More people are moving to Louisiana than are moving away. And these newcomers are getting well-paid jobs, too. This has increased our state's average personal income by 15%, and is also at the state's highest level in history. More than $54 billion worth is being spent in our state now since I took office. Thousands of new jobs are being created in all cities in Louisiana, such as Lake Charles and Monroe, every day. How did I do this? I cut taxes, not only for businesses, but for average Americans also. And this is why both businesses and people are moving to my state. I plan to implement the same tax cuts on a larger scale, if elected President. I could keep going on listing my job record as Governor, but I think it's pretty clear. If you want jobs, you want Jindal.

3.- Governor, one of your most famous moments in the public eye has been your response to President Obama a couple of years ago, which was remarkably criticized as a poor media appearance and casted doubts on your ability as a candidate. Can you assure voters you can avoid repeating that experience?

I'll do one thing a lot of politicians won't do. I'll own up to my mistake. I was new to the political scene and I did not take enough time to prepare for the response. But in the weeks after, I soon learned failure is the beginning of success. And, in fact, while I would have loved for the response to turn out perfectly and for me to have boosted my national profile, I don't think I would be in the place I am now without that experience. I learned key lessons not only to apply to making speeches, but also in life. And I can say, because of that, I am far better prepared for holding the office of President than those who have not suffered a failure in the same manner, because they have not learned the same life experiences I have. In fact, I recommend all presidential candidates bomb a response to the State of the Union! (laughs) In all seriousness, I'd like to say two things to all of you who are concerned about my fitness as a presidential candidate based solely upon a speech I made three years ago. I have changed as person and a candidate since then, so don't expect the same failure. And more importantly, don't judge a book by its cover.

Response to Senator Chambliss:

First of all, Senator, you say that you "outed me" and that your comments were "founded in truth." Is fabricating a story that I was not born in America, when in fact I was born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, the truth? Second, you say that you have "some more information regarding Governor Jindal that will be released shortly." Is this a threat? America, this is the kind of man Senator Chambliss is. He first not only makes up complete lies to support his racist remarks, but he next threatens this campaign with a "release of information." Are these the qualities you want in a president, America? Do these qualities represent honesty and truth, two critical qualities in a person who will be the leader of the free world? Here's my rebuttal to the Senator: release whatever "information" you have. I'm not concerned. America will see right through it.

Closing statement

America, when we ended the last campaign for President, we thought we would see radical change. We thought our nation would be far improved by now. Well, we're now at the end of the President's term. And we can see that Obama's administration has failed the American people. He has changed America, but for the worse. Unemployment is at record highs, our economy is in shambles, and Obama is destroying our nation's standing in the world. We are no longer a world superpower; instead, other nations are dictating where our jobs and products will go. Now, I'm supposed to explain to you why I'm a better choice for president than the rest of these people on this stage. But I'll admit, almost all of these people on this stage will be a better option than Obama or one of his far-left opponents. But my Republican opponents are just "good enough". Let's not settle for "good enough". Choose a candidate that will create real change in America. Choose a candidate that will look out for all Americans, no matter how much money you have in your wallet. Choose a candidate that will rebuild our nation from the ground up, by proposing a real replacement for Obamacare and making sure that true conservative values will be back in government, while making sure that we will be cooperative in getting these values through. Choose a candidate that won't work for themselves, but for America. And most importantly, choose a candidate that will defeat the Democrats, and Obama, in 2012.

I am this candidate. And this is why I humbly ask for your vote, no matter what state you live in. Thank you.

Hillary Clinton Debate
September 2011 Debate




Clinton: If there's one thing that the American people can agree on, it's that this economy isn't working. For far too long, jobs have been scarce and even if you can find work, wages have been stagnant. Too many Americans are having to take on either extra shifts, or start second or even third jobs to pay the bills. This cannot last. Our economy must be fundamentally changed to work for everyone in the 21st Century. That is why I've proposed a three part strategy to get the economy back on track. First, we need to cut taxes on the middle class, to give people the freedom to either save some money or pay off some bills. Second, we need to pursue companies with secret off-shore accounts and aggressively punish them for avoiding their taxes. Third, we will create the summer Gas Tax Holiday, to help the American people save on gas during the busiest gas consumption season. These three steps, together, are the beginning of truly ending the Great Recession and restoring confidence in the American economy.


Clinton: Well, let me tell you. I met with members of the Occupy Wall Street Movement in New York the other day. Like many people, I'd heard about the Occupy Movement and I wasn't really quite sure what to make of them, so I took the time to go hear it directly from them. They're fed up with being ignored. That's their message, plain and simple: listen to us. Well, I'm listening to you. We need to have a discussion on income inequality in this nation. We need to make sure that every person actually has the opportunity to succeed by ending the continual cycle of poverty in America. I urge everyone in the Movement to remain calm and peacefully excercise your right to assembly. Your occupation of Zuccotti Park has made a statment, now work with us, work with me, to take your concerns and make it into a strong fiscal policy.


Clinton: Libya has been a problem for the United States and, really, the free world since Muammar Gaddafi came to power in 1969. The Libyan regime has supported militant forces, invaded other African nations, and caused the deaths of 270 people, including 190 American citizens, through its support of terrorists. The UNSC and NATO have authorized a No-Fly Zone over Libya and we are under an obligation to take part in that mission, as a member-state of the United Nations and NATO, and as a champion for human rights around the globe. The No-Fly Zone and naval blockade are the minimum steps we must take with regard to Libya. The minimum, however, is not what we should do. As the only remaining global superpower, we have an obligation to lead, but not an obligation to go it alone. Within hours of assuming office, I will be in contact with Prime Minister Cameron and President Sarkozy to develop a global course of action. I will not take any option off the table at this time, but I would be strongly resistive of putting American boots on the ground.


Clinton: To dismiss my candidacy as "an unnecessary division" to to white wash over the issues in this country. The economy has not recovered; people are loosing their jobs and those with jobs are struggling to pay the bills and put food on the table. Healthcare has not been fixed; there are people dying in their homes because they cannot afford to see a doctor or to fill a prescription. Iraq has not been stabilized; our soldiers, the Middle East, and the world are less secure and less safe now than they were when this President took office. My campaign is not an unnecessary division, it is completely necessary to give a voice to the voiceless and to remind this President that he is responsible to the American people, that they will hold him to account for his shortcomings.


Clinton: My campaign isn't about making life easy for the Democratic Party or for this President. My campaign is about giving a voice to the American people who this President has ignored. My campaign is about delivering people the hope and change that this President promised them, but failed to come through on. My campaign is about finally breaking the highest glass ceiling in the world and finally proving to every little girl in America that yes, you can become President if you're a girl. I'm not running for President of the Democratic Party, I'm running for President of the United States of America and I'm going to do what's in the best interest of this country. I've done it my entire career and I'm not going to stop now. People know who I am and what I stand for, and I stand by my record of accomplishment and progress.

Carolla responds to Congressman Upton’s Obamacare comments in the debate

Mr Upton what you just said is basically you want a diet Obamacare.

No there is nothing good about Obamacare what so ever.  Like I said earlier it is a tax basically disguised as a healthcare bill.

What you are basically saying is that you side with President Obama’s on healthcare mostly.

Doesn’t matter if you said you want to partly reform it. There will still be lots of taxes,  premiums and regulations.

Is that what you really want?

September 1-30

September 1-5: After declaring his candidacy in Wisconsin, Feingold traveled to Iowa, where he announced that he would be seeking to increase subsidies to farmers, as well as declaring his intention to pass laws preventing major companies from taking farmland from those who own it currently. He also met with local progressive leaders to secure their backing for his campaign

September 6-10: Feingold would spend this time in New Hampshire, announcing his belief that the state would be open to the ideas of a progressive administration, as well as his admiration for the state's independent streak and support for the idea of universal education, a pet project of former NH governor John Lynch.

September 11-18: Feingold would spend nearly all of this period travelling between the New England states, rallying support in particular from College campuses and working class Democrats in the state. He also attended a Jewish service in Vermont, attempting to make a play for the Jewish vote in the states before heading to new York for a surprise appearance

September 19-20
Feingold went to Zucotti Park and met with activists from the Occupy Wall Street movement, expressing his desire for increased banking regulation and the reinstatement of the Glass-Steagall Act, while simultaneously expressing disappointment with the Dodd-Frank Act, which he called "watered down". He also recruited several campaign volunteers from the activists.

September 21-25: Feingold would spend these days in Nevada, meeting with voters not just from Las Vegas, but also the state's rural population. He hit the same notes he did in Iowa about restricting major corporations from buying off land owned by individuals. In addition, he expressed interest in the idea of a considerable middle and working lass tax cut, while increasing taxes on the wealthiest Americans.

September 26-30: Feingold spent this time touring the southern states, visiting many impoverished areas and college campuses, firmly staking his ground in the states. He met with many community leaders in the southern states as well, attempting to make a play for the black vote through meetings with local leaders.

1.- It seems one of the main concerns of rank and file Republicans is the Health Care debate and the issues that come from Obamacare. If elected President, would you repeal Obamacare? What would you replace it with?

I think all of us on stage tonight can agree that Obamacare poses a great threat to both the health of Americans as well as their wallets. Other candidates will tonight tell you that perhaps they alone have the solution to the healthcare problem. That is what President Obama told us back in 2008, and that strategy never works.

As Governor of Massachusetts, one of the bluest states in the nation, I worked with a legislature that was over 85% Democrat to pass healthcare reform that cut down on unnecessary spending, reduced the number of people gaming the system, and increased the quality of care statewide. There’s a reason Massachusetts has some of the best healthcare in the nation, and that’s because of state-based innovation and pragmatic policy solution.
As President I would simply initiate a repeal of Obamacare to allow our states to have the freedom they need to create plans best for their own constituents. I want to give Medicaid back to the states in the form of block grants so that more effective localized policy can be created, and I believe that folks that are either self-insured or are working for a small business get the same tax-credits that folks that get coverage from their companies do. I also believe that if you have insurance and a pre-existing condition, nothing should stop you from keeping your insurance in the future.

Barack Obama may have given the American people a headache when he passed Obamacare, but I have decades of experience fixing headaches, including in Massachusetts. Americans need someone who has a proven track record of getting the job done, and I think I am the candidate that fits the bill.

2.- As unemployment not only fails to drop but increases in some parts of the country, there is a spirited debate about the best way to create new jobs and lower unemployment for good. Why are you a better choice than your fellow candidates when it comes to creating jobs?

You’ve heard some of my opponents on this stage talk give empty promises or resumes on why they are the most qualified candidate to create jobs in America. I’d like to give you my resume, America, and let you decide who you trust to turn around our 9% unemployment rate and economic malaise.

While I worked in private industry I created over 100,000 jobs through responsible business tactics and smart policy. I come from a family of building businesses from the ground up, and know what Americans currently running their own businesses go through when it comes to hiring and regulation. No other candidate on this stage has a private industry track record or know-how that we need for job growth.

As Governor of Massachusetts I also created over 100,000 jobs even as the state came out of economic turmoil. I know that in the government the best thing that we can do is get out of the way of Americans who know what’s best for their businesses and their own futures and let the economy grow. That’s why I have a plan to create 12 million new jobs. America must take advantage of its natural resources, be they oil, natural gas, renewable energy, or nuclear energy, and gain our energy independence. That’s four million jobs right there. We need to expand trade responsibly, ensuring that America is not being taken advantage of in international deals. Right now, Latin America is turning to China as a trade ally because the US is looking the other way. If I were elected, we’d be talking to our allies the next day to bring billions of dollars and millions more jobs to America. Finally, we need to ease the tax burden on hardworking Americans. Some of my peers have touted a lower corporate tax, which while needed ignores the real folks we should be caring about. Lower taxes for small business, simpler regulatory codes, and right-to-work laws will help kickstart a part of our economy the Obama administration has sadly ignored.

America, I ask this of you. Look to a tested and tough track record of job creation in both the public and private sectors, and look to a plan that works for you by giving you the freedom that our current government won’t.

1.- To Governor Romney: Governor, one of the main concerns launched towards you has been your perceived political shift since 2008, some arguing either your stances back then or those now are based on convenience. What would you reply to that?

It’s easy for my opponents to pick examples of me disagreeing with something I said years ago — that’s because I’ve been creating policy for nearly a decade now. And sure, I’ll admit that not everything I’m talking about now is the same as it was when I was governor, or even back in 2008, but that doesn’t mean I’m an opportunist, it means I’ve learned.

In 2008, America was in a much different place than it was today. We were looking headfirst into a financial crisis of magnitude unknown and were on the tail end of wars still unfinished. back then, I was fresh out of office and running to be your president. While I may be back in 2011 doing the same thing, things have changed.

My opponents will try to paint me as a flip-flopper or as an opportunist, but changing opinions over time is the reasonable thing to do. Americans should not elect a President who is so conceited they can’t admit when they’re wrong, or see other points of view. Americans should elect a President who has their ears open, is listening to the people, and is unafraid to say they don’t know everything. I believe my experience in the public and private sector makes me uniquely qualified to help heal America in its current state of recession, but my experience has also taught me to be open, pragmatic, and ready to hunt for solutions that are actually the best for our country, not solutions someone has blindly stuck to for years.

America, would you trust your doctor if he or she said they hadn’t changed their practices in 20 years? Would you trust the builder of your house if they refused to follow new building codes because they believed the old ones were still “right”? I wouldn’t. I also wouldn’t trust a politician that was too stubborn to listen to the American people and make changes that are in the best interests of our country, and I don’t think you would either.

So no, whatever shifts I’ve made in my political ideology aren’t for my personal benefit, but so that I can best respond to the needs of the American people, something that should be every politician’s goal.

Closing Statement:

This election gives you, the American people, and important choice. Our country today stands not much stronger than it did at the start of our crisis three years ago. Unemployment is high, job growth is low, and morale is shrinking. Luckily, our Democracy gives you options on how you want your country to be run, and if you don’t like the way America has looked these last four years, you have the power to choose the America you want to see.

I see an America that by 2020 has 12 million new jobs and a record of job growth in the hard-hit middle and lower classes. I see an America that believes in itself again. I see an America that once again puts freedom in the hands of its people, not locked away by the government. I see an America, where I can live knowing that our kids and grandkids will be able to prosper, not be saddled by government debt and economic stagnation.

Over the course of tonight you’ve heard a lot of different visions for our country, and a lot of different people who promise to achieve them. No other candidate on this stage or on the Democrat’s stage has a record of success and growth in both the public and private sector like I do, and I believe that sets me apart in why I should serve as your President.

In this crucial election, Americans need to have someone they can trust to represent them in the White House. Compare my resume and my policies to my opponents, and I think you’ll find that person.

Carolla responds to Congressman Upton’s Obamacare comments in the debate

Mr Upton what you just said is basically you want a diet Obamacare.

No there is nothing good about Obamacare what so ever.  Like I said earlier it is a tax basically disguised as a healthcare bill.

What you are basically saying is that you side with President Obama’s on healthcare mostly.

Doesn’t matter if you said you want to partly reform it. There will still be lots of taxes,  premiums and regulations.

Is that what you really want?




Mr.Carolla, I ask you, do you want Americans dying because they cannot afford healthcare? Do you want the people you know dead, because they couldn't afford a procedure? I may not have voted for it originally but as President Obama has said Yes We Can! and what I will say is that if we want a return of the America of the hardworking dying in the streets, because companies raise prices through the roof, Go with Carolla, but if you want Answers, Go with me Carolla says things people like, but I say things that will happen. We can't do them maybe if we had 400 Representatives and 100 Senators in Congress, but I ask him We don't get better with single party control, we get worse I do support taxing every American who can afford to be taxed but I don't support taking money out of the pockets of those who need it the most, I don't see any solution offered by you to fix this broken economy, but like the members of the occupy movement some people many of them work hard for their entire lives, but they can't do anything about rising unemployment they are the silent majority and we need to fix the problems this country has, I am offering Solutions, YOU ARE JUST OFFERING PROBLEMS!

Feingold's debate responses:


First off, this crisis is the fault of George Bush, who passed irresponsibly large tax cuts while sending us into two major wars. The problem is that we haven't reinstated Glass-Steagall or even tried to increase taxes on the wealthiest of our citizens; people that are responsible for what many would say is outright theft.

In the aftermath of the crisis, we tried bailing the banks out. What happened? The CEOs took the money given to them by the taxpaying public, and used it to pay themselves huge bonuses and lobby Congress to kill any major reform, then they turned around and blamed immigrants, the poor and even teachers. That is not how the economy, nor our government, should work.


What do you want me to say? Progressives like myself have been saying for years this would happen if we didn't toughen up on our banking sector. We were laughed at, told that it would never happen and told to get back in line. We sounded the warnings, and were ignored, so now, people are angry.

These people are sick and tired of being treated like pawns by a banking industry that genuinely doesn't care and by a government who gives off the impression that they don't care. THey're angry, and their anger is righteous. Moreover, they have a right to be there, and having been there with them, I can see they are there for the right reasons, despite what our opponents on the right say. They deserve to have their issues addressed, and as the progressive candidate, I ask for their support.


I stand opposed to our intervention in Libya. Have we not learned from our intervention in Iraq? We were told it would be in and out. Instead, we've been bogged down in a counterinsurgency operation for a decade. You can't just go in to these countries and try to install a Western-style democracy without dismantling the strcutures they've lived by for years.

With regards to Colonel Gaddafi, I only say that he has dismantled his nuclear weapons. Saddam did the same before we invaded. Is it a coincidence that other countries which have nuclear weapons aren't targets of an invasion by us?


Where do I start? He failed to deliver on his promise of universal healthcare despite running on it and wasted a chance to be tough on Wall Street. Finally, both examples notably happened when we had a majority in Congress. These are not the markers of a President who fights for what they believe in. Instead, we get what I argue is a more hawkish policy than George Bush, and a public policy of saying one thing then doing another. The same can be applied to Senator Clinton.

I am very disappointed with the President. The progressive wing cannot be taken for granted anymore, and my colleagues up here need to understand that.

Mr. President are you calling me too conservative to address the concerns the of the average Democrat and of the American people? Alright then, ask Tennessee if I was too conservative for them. Ask my large amount of supporters in multiple cities if I'm too conservative for them. Ask your own vice president, Joe Biden, if he is too conservative for you. I now ask you, Mr. President, was Bill Clinton, a man who gave us a large national surplus and revived our Nation's legacy after Bush Sr., too conservative for the American people or the average democrat? Was John F. Kennedy, one of the greatest president's in our nation's history despite having a short term due to his very unfortunate assassination, too Conservative for the average Democrat and the American people? The answer is no, Mr. President, none of them were. I don't disagree with you on Feingold, that we can both agree on *chuckles* But, there is no denying that it is because of your performance as President that the Democrats lost Congress in the 2010 Midterms. It's because of you that we are dealing with an ascendant republican party filled with people who are either unknown, crazy, RINOs, or just plain racist. It's because of you that the Democratic party has lost it's touch with blue collar workers, after all, you are enacting 'Change' within this party.

I want to bring the Democrats into a more centrist position, so we can actually have a discussion with the Republicans and actually get laws passed by congress. What you're doing is ensuring that that won't happen unless something really big happens. Mr.President, the way you've handled the Democratic party the last 4 years is downright disturbing. If you were around and running for office while many Democrats still agreed with the ideals of Clinton...sorry, not you Hillary, I meant Bill... that you would have been ousted very quickly and be made a mockery. Ever since John Kerry, who you made Secretary of State, may I remind you, ran for President in 2004, the party has become more progressive, more Liberal. Mr. President, the Democratic party is in a state of disrepair and you are the cause.

As president, I will try and fix the party that you have broken but now, all because of you, I doubt I'll be able to do much. Also, for this I must say, Why do you constantly talk about 'Change' if you never do it?

Also, on your jobs idea, I agree with you on stopping outsourcing by lowering the corporate tax rate, the one that your predecessor set and you have failed to change in any significant way. But I also have to ask one more thing about it. Why are you so dead set on Alternative energy? We have plenty of Energy with coal and oil and I agree, they're both bad for the planet, don't think I'm lying when I say that, but, why phase them out completely? In west Virginia, Ohio, Kentucky, and Pennsylvania, there are still people who are making their livelihoods off of those mines that you plan to shut down. I instead propose a mixture of both Alternative energy and Fossil Fuels in our economy. Let's say 52% Alternative Energy and 48% Fossil fuels.

Finally, Mr.President, don't attack me on economic issues. Look at how Tennessee thrived during the Economic recession. Look at how it is still going strong only a year after I left. Now compare that to your Economy. Big difference, right? I rest my case.

Mr Upton your solution is not a very good one!  The thing is that the government has too much control over business. There is so much red tape like I said earlier you could fill have a room with it.

And yes we can afford my healthcare plan if we cut enough regulations and spending to pay for it.  

We spend too much money on things. Look at the money spent on common core. Its a total waste its a total joke that could be money going into reforming Medicare or Medicaid or into my healthcare system.

If you got to my website and you can look at my budget plan and you will see how we can afford it.

You are abandoning free market principals  and falling into the trap of what Obama and the democrats want you to think.

Obamacare is just one step closer to socialized medicine!

And yes I can be able to get it pass if and when we take back the senate.

Mr Upton look at the country of  Singapore . That is what I want to model my healthcare plan on. In Singapore there is competition, Harley any taxes or regulations and it is one of the best received health care systems in the world. So if its works there imagine what could it do in America.
  

Carolla responds to Romney's answer on the second question

While your dad was in the Nixon administration  I grew up in Los Angeles's San Fernando Valley in the seventies. I was the product of separation. I would have been the product of divorce but divorce includes filling out paperwork and paying a county clerk sixty bucks to file it.

I lived with my mom who was jobless until I was about a preteen. I was lucky to have a meal at school. It was a horrible experience. I couldn't really live life till then when I moved in with my dad.

And I just am very lucky you know that I turn out to be this way a successful career like mine.

I started from the bottom and now I am at the top while you Mr Romney your dad was worth almost 200$ million dollars and was a CEO of a big corporation.

And you say your business was built from the bottom? That is insulting to me.



  

The information was "chickengate" governor.

Mr. Carolla, you are right. I was incredibly fortunate to come from a family with wealth and opportunity.  My father, however, came from a much different background. My dad was born in Mexico to Mormon parents whose homes came under fire from raiding and marauders. When he moved to Utah as a teenager he worked in the fields to help his family and his schooling. My father started from nothing, but believed in America just as you did. He sold paint during his honeymoon with my mother to finance it, and took that entrepreneurial spirit to Michigan, where I was born.

My father taught me and my siblings that just because we had more than our neighbors didn't make us better than them, nor did it give us an excuse to not work hard. My dad taught us the same things he learned chasing the American dream -- perseverance, hard work, and hope.

Mr. Carolla, I'm sure you can relate to my father's entrepreneurial spirit, and with his quest to find the American dream. It gave him a chance to give his kids a better life, just as it has for you. I acknowledge that I grew up more fortunate than most, but I think we can agree on this: no matter who we are or where we came from, the American dream we fight for is foundationally rooted in freedom. Economic freedom and civil liberty. This is why I think we need a Republican in the White House in 2012, so we can bring these freedoms back to Americans trying to make their American Dream happen, for folks like my dad and you who knew what this country had to offer.

Mr.Carolla, do you know how many people live in Singapore? 5 million, thats 1/60th of the United States Population, and correct me if I am wrong, but Singapore is also a fraction of the size of the United States both Geographically and Economically. You sound like a Democrat right now, I want to be like Scandinavia. I don't want to live in Singapore because I am an American, I dont know much about Singapore it could be a beautiful country, but I dont care because this is America and we don't need to be like Singapore, you're proposing things that we don't know if they will work we know now ObamaCare does work and it helps millions of people from Alabama to Michigan to West Virginia.  

No you are the Democrat. You are on a Republican stage in bunch of Republican talking about how Obamacare is great and how you want European style socialism where there is big government regulations and a 90% tax rate and strict gun laws

Is that what you want?  You just sound like a Democrat!. And im saying America should be Singapore what I am saying is America’s healthcare should be like Singapore’s!

Ad plays in Michigan New Hampshire and Iowa

Adam Carolla campaign ad
A Different Kind Of Tax Plan (A campaign ad that ran in all 50 states
()

Hi I’m Adam Carolla you may no me as just another comedian. However I am just more than I am a fighter and a father and a proud Amercian.  

I don’t just say stuff to get votes or to gain popularity I speak from the heart and I think that’s what America wants for a  president.  

I know some of my ideas may not be with you at first glance. However if you take your time and look at it I think you will find your self  in conclusion to agree with them.

As President I will cut everything single unnecessary regulations and taxes on America people and reform our tax code that will favor hard working Americans.  

As a matter of fact here are all the taxes that will be cut. *Carolla holds out a long piece of paper and tears it up bit by bit*
 

I will replace the IRS with a constitutional 15-20% flat tax and make filling out your taxes way easier.

I will balance the budget and recuse the wasteful amount of spending that goes on in Washington and settle that with a balence budget amendment that will set limits on how the government can spend on things.

You might be wonder to yourself. How popular is this?  Well a study at the National tax foundation agree with me that this will create 2 million new jobs and will create economic growth for quite some time.
However I am not running for their approval im running for this country’s

This all and all is just part of the plan to defeat the Washington machine.  

It will shake up Washington and Wall Street no doubt.

And they should fear if this happens

I’m Adam Carolla and I approve this message.

(Carolla’s ad would go viral  overnight and would be the top trending video on YouTube)

ADAM CAROLLA’s INTERVIEW WITH WOLF BLITZER
()

Alright thank you John joins us now is Republican Presidental candidate Adam Carolla who recently put out a viral campaign ad called a Different Kind Of Tax Plan

Glad you are on here.

()

Thanks Wolf

Wolf:Your ad displayed a pretty conservative take on tax reform something that is way more out there than the Romney or McCain campaign did back in 2008.

Adam:Well this is just the first of a series I am doing so you ain’t see nothing yet Wolf.  Yes our tax code hasn’t been reformed for almost 30 years. The Republicans not all but some haven’t even cared yet about putting in such a system and yet there they are acting like a typical politician just saying this to get elected.

Wolf:Some criticism of your plans has been that you wouldn’t be able to afford such a Tax Plan and that those taxes help with certain programs in this country.

Adam:Well hear me out Wolf. I live in California one of the most Tax happy states in the country and just look at our roads and infrastructure  they still look broken yet Govenor Brown tells us that all those taxes we are spoused to pay will help with that system and I don’t see it. It’s still the same old broken roads that Brown promised that he would fix and so far he has done nothing.

Our state has tripled our deficit and our government still has result to tax after tax after tax. And that’s what I feel Obama is doing.

So I don’t see the problem with people keeping more of their own money while the Democrats act like its some act of terror or something.

*He pulls out two pieces of paper* I have in my right hand the taxes cut in my Tax Plan and in my left this is Romney’s plan. Look at the difference. My plan would cut not just new taxes but taxes and regulations  from administrations before. While Romney’s just cuts newer taxes and regulations from this administration.  So it’s a big difference.

I also plan to cut the corporate tax by 20-30% so we can finally get the upper hand in  competition with other countries while Romney’s only gets it up to 10 which isn’t good enough.

And I totally believe that we can get this past. You got Forbes and you got Reason magazine calling it the most conservative economic plan since Steve Forbes in 1996 that is quite a big accomplishment right there.

I also mentioned that I would put in a balanced budget amendment. Which there will be more ads about that so don’t worry.

Wolf:Well thank you for being on here and we can’t wait for your town hall with us in Nevada coming soon.

Carolla Update

Carolla went back to New Hampshire and campaigned on the legalization of marijuana and how that will be a priority on Day 1 and to fight the drug war.

Carolla started setting shop with offices in all major parts of New Hampshire and even part of Vermont and mostly would end up getting big with the younger voters which bought his message of freedom.

Carolla is expected to be the most popular of the Libertarian Republicans.

''It's great to be back here in my old high School in Livingstone. God, if you'd told that the arrogant, headstrong, confident kid that one day he'd be running for President, you know what he'd say, 'don't ever change.' (laughs from the crowd)

That kid knew, like I do now, that the most important task given to us is to stand up and fight. Whether it was the group of bullies that use to parade the halls with their chests puffed out,or the school administrators who use to tell us we couldn't go and study because the Union's were on strike, you need to stand up. Because you know what happens when you stand up; people take notice.

So I want America to take notice of this; I'm Chris Christie, and I'm standing up today to run for President of the United States.

I'm standing up so that that I can fight for every single American  I've had citizens from across the land, from Utah, to Iowa, from New Hampshire, to South Carolina all tell me a simple message; they want someone with the guts to fight. They don't want someone who sounds like he's just left the Harvard debating team, they don't someone who's running a campaign from 2002, they don't want someone who follows Barack Obama's every weak, stumbling turn. They want someone who can fight.

You know I could have sat back in New Jersey, I have a great job as Governor, in the greatest state in the America. But I couldn't watch was happening to my country continue. I couldn't watch as a weak, cowardly President prepared another campaign based on deceit, and I certainly couldn't sit back when I knew that America, more so than any day since 1980, needs someone in the Oval Office, who can fight for the ordinary men, and women, out there, who are just trying to make a buck.

We've got some tremendous challenges out there; a stagnant economy, with job growth grinding to a halt, with another recession just on the horizon. The private sector is shrinking, businesses are failing at a record rate, and you know what's worst of all; it's seeing those people who've lost out, those people who've been harmed by this useless President, it's seeing those people get up every morning, it's seeing the pain in there face knowing that there isn't any work out there. Where is the dignity in that?

But ya know, there is hope. Look at New Jersey. I'm gonna warn ya, you're gonna hear a lot about New Jersey (cheers) I'm sure Mitt is making some poor intern search through every part of our state, but believe me, I'm ready to fight them every step of the way.

Here in New Jersey we've done what Washington has failed to do; we've balanced a budget twice, without raising taxes, and whilst protecting vital services. We've reformed our healthcare, and pension system that was collectively underfunded by $121 billion. We've capped property taxes, and you know what makes me most proud. We've been honest with people. We've told them the truth. We've told them that times will be hard, we've told them that they're not gonna like every decision we make, and we've told them 'the old ways need to change.'

So I'm going to start this campaign by being honest. We need to rein in our out of control entitlement reform. We need to Washington to balance it's budget, we need to break the stranglehold that union bosses have over our kids future and you know what. We need to to crack some heads together, get out the way, and let the private sector create some quality jobs again.

Barack Obama is never going to be honest with America. He's going to appeal to his slice of the electoral. He's going to appeal to the 51% of voters his campaign has worked out to target. He's going to be doing a hell lot of pandering in this primary.

But hold on, I know, it's easy to say that. It's easy for any Republican to stand up here, and talk about how bad President Obama is. In fact, I expect we'll see Hillary Clinton again on stage talking about how bad President Obama is (laughs)

What's hard is to get results. You know I was appointed U.S Attorney just after 9/11. Every single person in this room knows the pain that America felt that day; we know the suffering that our country went through. But we also know what Americans did; they hit back. They got straight back up, and they fought, and they fought, and they fought (cheers). I'm the only candidate running who has stood up in court, and prosecuted terrorists who were trying to kill our brave Troops in Fort Dix. Believe me, when you've stood up in court and sent terrorists behind bars, you're not worried about what the talking heads in Washington say.

Mary-Pat is giving me a look now, she always says that only thing worst than an Attorney, is an Attorney talking about his successful cases. But just remember this, whether it was putting terrorists behind bars, or getting 132 successful prosecutions, I've been there; fighting for America.

But being a U.S Attorney was only the second most important job in my life; the first was to my family, to my brilliant wife Mary-Pat, to my 4 amazing kids and to my folks; my Dad, Bill, standing right behind me, and my wonderful, wonderful mom, Sondra who isn't here today, god rest her.

You know the last time I saw my mom, she was sat in hospital. I held her hand, and you know what she said to me. She told me that 'there was nothing unsaid.'' She knew how much I loved her, and by god, I knew how much she loved me. She begged me, she told me to 'go back to work, to do my duty' and that's why I'm standing here today. I'm standing here today to so that together, we can fight, to get this country back to work.

So please, join our my fight. Join our campaign. Join us to fight for the America we know, and love. Thank you New Jersey!

Adam Carolla campaign update
September 20th 2011
Carolla flew to Nevada and gave two speeches in a New in Reno and Las Vegas on the horrors of NAFTA and globalism.

And promised to them that when he is president that he would fight gobalism with individualism.

Carolla received a endorsement from several groups of Labor Unions the first in a while for a Republican candidate since Reagan.

()

Carolla:If I am elected president the era the economic surrender will be over.  We will never surrender this country or any country of that matter or people to the song of Globalism.

If you are a foreign power and you want to weaken Amercia you couldn’t do better than Obama’s and the Democrats economic agenda.

Under this so called free trade organizations people like the Chinese get richer and the Americans get poorer.
The Skyscrapers went up in Beijing  and other cities in the country while the factories and neighborhoods here especially in Reno crumbled right here.

When we abandon the policy of Amercia first we then started rebuilding other countries instead of our own.

However when and if I become president the era of Economic freedom and Americanism will begin.

*Crowd cheers*

Wesley Clark on an MSNBC Interview:

()

Rachel Maddow:

“You know, I remember back when you ran for the Democratic Nomination in 2004. Why are you running for President again, and also on an Independent ticket?”

General Clark:

“Yenno what Rachel, that’s an excellent question. Yeah, I ran for President eight years ago. I didn’t win, and I believe that’s why you have some of the problems we have today. I, like many Americans don’t give my loyalty to a political party for free. The Democrats haven’t done anything to help the Common man and have led us pretty poorly. President Bush was a disaster, and I don’t want anything close to a third term of him. Just, both parties don’t work for us. That’s obvious. Sure, I could have ran for the Democratic Nomination but I’m running on making things better, not adding to the problem. That being said, I’m aware many Democrats support our movement. They’re tired of talk. They want results, not polished politicians.”

Rachel Maddow:

“With seeing all these wild accusations from the Chambliss campaign, do you have an opinion on it?”

General Clark:

“Absolutely, it’s almost hilarious actually. I thought it was a joke at first, but come on man. We can’t elect someone who participated in the making of such petty, obviously fake accusations. I don’t personally know Governor Jindal, but I hope people can see such a bad photoshop job is fake.”

Rachel Maddow:

“What’s your opinion on the amount of people attending your rallies? Honestly, I’ve seen them and they have such energy. I don’t think I’ve seen such energy for a third party candidate since Ross Perot in 1992.”

Wesley Clark:

“Thank you, Rachel. I believe I’ve struck a tone. A lot of people from both parties are fed up at how ineffective and inadequate they are. People are starting to come out and voice their support for something new, and that’s what I believe about that, and I’m very grateful for it. Both parties don’t really care about helping people, but I do. My whole life I’ve tried to serve my country. It would be such a great honor America, if you elect me to be your president. Thank you Rachel.”

Speaking in Greenville, North Carolina, Rep. Walter Jones (R-NC) made the following remarks in his announcement speech for President:

I've decided to run for President of the United States not because I wanted to advance my career or to win special favors from lobbyists. I've had plenty of opportunities before, but I've said no to all of them. This campaign is about saving this great country I grew up in for our children and grandchildren. When we're burdened with this massive debt, people on the streets, perpetual wars, and a corrupt political establishment, ordinary Americans begin to lose hope in our system. They think nothing can be done. I'm here to tell you that this is the moment when we can reverse the tide and take back our country from those who think nothing of it and only for themselves. Together, we will make a difference, and we will win. Thank you, and God bless these United States.

Look, we gotta be honest with people. And I'll be simple; if I'm elected President I'll repeal Obamacare, and repeal it with

The healthcare system is broken under Obamacare. And the healthcare system was broken before Obama came. Heck the healthcare system was broken when Nixon tried to reform it in the 70s. You  know why it's been broken; because republicans have been too damn afraid of being honest.

We pay too much for our healthcare, our premiums keep increasing at record highs, we haven't carried out meaningful Tort reform, to stop the ambulance chasing lawyers that give millions to the Democratic party. America can do so much better.

So I'll tell you what my healthcare plan would do; I'd repeal both the individual and employer mandate, the second of which is crippling our ability to create good, long term jobs. I'd get rid of the tax hikes that Obamacare put in, and I'd begin to reform Medicaid and Medicare for future recipients, and fight the hospital monopolies. Put simply, I'd fight the hell back against the massive government intrusion that the Obama-Clinton Machine forced upon us.

This would reduce federal spending alone by $283 Billion. That's almost as much money as Mitt made last year.

Seriously though, we need to use market based solutions, such as state lead exchanges to get as many people covered as possible. We need to stop this stupid idea put forward by the Democrats that we're somehow happy when people don't have healthcare insurance, and that we're happy when people get ill and die. That's why my plan would aggressively lower uninsured rates, by lowering premiums, tackling hospital monopolies, and by offering real conservative solutions.

It's easy though for politicians to stand up here and talk about there plans, but remember this; I'm the only person up here who has cleaned up after a Democratic administration. In New Jersey I took on the special interests, the big public sector unions, and left wing Democrats, and I fixed our underfunded pension system, I balanced our budget, I froze the spiral property taxes, and I sorted out the mess.

If you vote for me, believe me, you'll get someone who has delivered real, conservative reforms, not someone who has just remembered a bunch of talking points.


It's the most crushing thing to have to watch as a Governor, when people can't get work. I saw a man in his 50's, he reached out to me, and grabbed his wrinkled, worn hands to tell that after two decades of working, the steel mill where he worked had been closed down. The look in his eyes was crushing, because he knew, that politicians like me, where responsible for that.

So let's change that; let's get the government out the way. Repeal the job-killing employee mandate, stop the spread of the EPA, and let's focus on creating good, proper high paying jobs.

The first route to job creation is through tax cutting.  I'd cut corporation tax to 25%, so that America can be competitive in attracting the best, and biggest, which would bring us 10 million new jobs. I'd make individual taxes lower, fairer, and simpler. I'd get rid of payroll tax for those under the age of 25, and those over the age of 62, so that we can get everyone who wants to work, a proper well paid job.

Second, we gotta unleash the energy markets in these countries. Let's end the ban on exporting crude oil, let's get the Keystone Pipeline going and let's start pumping out that Shale Gas. Let's get the government out the way, and get the jobs flowing in.

I can be trusted to do. When I became Governor in New Jersey we had a job growth of 0%. Zero. We've now had two years of job growth, with 60,000 new private sector jobs. After the mess that we were left in by John Corzine, we're doing pretty well. I know that I can clear up this mess that the Obama-Clinton method has left us in.


Woh Woh let's stop there.

I have more experience than President Obama when he ran in 2008. Way more. When President Obama was giving speeches in Chicago I was appointed as the first U.S Attorney after 9/11.  When President Obama was palling around in the Illinois State legislature I was using the Patriot Act to convict terror suspects.

I know the talking heads like to pretend that the only experience that matters is sitting around in Washington D.C, but come on. I've spend 7 years as a U.S Attorney before becoming Governor. Every day, when I woke up, I had witnesses to interview, I had court notes to prepare, I had warrants to get approved. I didn't just sit around and write a nice book like President Obama.

It would have been easy for me to follow the Obama route ya know, I could have sat and waited for a nice seat in the House, or the Senate. I could have sat in Washington doing nothing but talking, and then what, in 2020 I could have ran for President. But I couldn't sit back and watch this country slide down the drain. In my family, we get up and we go to work.

I'm the only person on this stage who has prosecuted terrorists, and put them behind bars. I'm the only one who has fought with a Democratic dominated legislature, and got real conservative reforms.

Closing Statement

The only way that Republicans are going to win in 2012, and actually sort of the mess that been left in Washington is to be honest with people. So please folks at home, put down your beer, put down your nachos, and listen up. We face a hell of a lot of problems, problems that were caused by President Obama, like the job-killing mandate in Obamacare, and problems that existed before President Obama, such as the failure to invest in infrastructure, the failure to become truly energy independent, and the failure to tackle the big, powerful special interest lobbies. Only by accepting these problems, can we come together and fix them.

I'll also be honest with you; I didn't plan on running in this campaign. Some of the talking heads, and media folk seem to think I should have stayed in New Jersey and padded my CV. But that's not what I do. I get up, every day and I get to work. I was not able to best serve my family, my state or my country, if I sat at home, and watched another plain old republican get beaten by another deceitful democrat.

I knew that I had to stand up and fight. If you want a nominee who has put terrorists behind bars, if you want a nominee who has won and passed real, conservative reform in a deep blue state, and if you want a nominee who can beat the Obama-Clinton machine like a drum, join me in my fight.

When my mum was on her deathbed, she grabbed me by hand, and told me 'there is nothing unsaid between us.'' There is no love stronger than the love between a son, and his mother, but she knew that I knew how much she loved, and cared for me. Then she told me something even more moving...

She said to me 'Christoper, Go back to Work.' She was giving me permission to let her go, she knew that she had done everything to raise me. Three days later she passed away, and they were the last words we exchanged. I had no regrets because I lived my life the way she taught me.

Every day I do what my mom told me. I went to work.


I was the first U.S Attorney appointed after 9/11, and I made counter-terrorism the number 1 priority of my office after the cowardly attacks on America.

I put the Fort Dix attackers behind bars, and am the only candidate running who has stood up, day after day, to protect America.


I put crooked, corrupt politicians like Sharpe Jones in prison, for using campaign funds to pay for their lavish lifestyle.


I ran for Governor of New Jersey, and won in a deep blue state. Since then we balanced a budget twice, without raising taxes, we fixed our broken pension system and we beat the powerful public unions.

Now I'm running to President, so that I can fight for you, so that I can fight to get our Economy booming again, to get Washington to balance it's budget and to get rid of Obamacare. Join me, and let's fight for America.

Carolla campaign update 3
September 21th 2011

Carolla campaigned in Florida on Domestic Security saying that he will reform the NSA and Homeland Security claiming that they haven’t been doing their jobs and that they made the Security of the American people weaker.

Carolla also started setting campaign offices and GOTV efforts in the state.

Carolla’s internet fundraiser kept on going as his campaign as money donated to the campaign has it almost half a million dollars.

''My dad is Irish, and my Mum is Italian. That was all the training I need for New Jersey Politics. It's loud, it's ugly and it's tough as nails. But here in New Jersey we've got a good story to tell.

The pundits, and media figures said I didn't have a chance against Governor Corzine and the the special interests. The Teachers Union spend $3 million trying to defeat me, but there negative campaign failed, and in 2009 I became Governor of New Jersey.

We have 700,000 more Democrats in New Jersey, and a Democratic dominated legislature. I could have sat back, or changed all my policies to get along with the Democrats, but that's not the New Jersey way. Instead we got together, cracked some heads together, and got on with the Job.


And best of all, we proved that divided government, with ideologically opposed parties doesn't have to be as much of a disaster as it is in Washington.

I may be loud, I may be rather large, and I may keep yabbering on for too long, but that's the New Jersey Way, and we know how to get things done.

(laughs to Camera)

Carolla campaigns in Tampa Bay on preventing World War III
September 22nd 2011

You see most of these candidates they talk about wanting to put a no fly zone in Libya.

And I said are you kidding? That thing will just get matters worse in Libya. As a matter of fact we should of never be intervening in Libya! They have nothing to do with us. They didnt attack us! They didnt pose a threat to our way of living! All this is a start to push a imperial empire of CIA puppet goverments all across the Middle East!

Now Gaddaffi have not be a great guy however he never threaten us and he isnt some Islamic extremist like Obama is making him out to be!

As President I will stop this madness of making matters worse in the Middle east and prevent World War III from happening!

*Crowd cheers and starts chanting no war*

(Jindal is letting me use his format <3)

All of us here on stage agree that Obamacare is not the way to go. This was a rushed bill with little input from the American people, and this is the worst kind of central planning imaginable. I would act swiftly to repeal Obamacare. With that said, we shouldn't leave people dying on the street. Society does have a role to protect those who have nothing, and I as President would look into ways that the federal government can strengthen protections for uninsured and at-risk Americans while maintaining the dignity of our free-market system. We need to think long and hard about what comes after Obamacare is gone. If we just go back to the way it was right before, then we'll have solved little about our healthcare system. It's time for some responsibility in our leadership again.


I come from a little town called Farmville, North Carolina. I learned the value of hard work from an early age, and I helped run my family's company for a number of years. That kind of upbringing and experience has taught me what it means to own a small business, to try and earn a decent living, and to make ends meet. I understand that both workers and small business owners haven't gotten the assistance they need. Wages have been stagnant for many years, and President Obama hasn't solved that problem. He also hasn't brought unemployment down to normal levels. If this keeps up, we'll see an entire generation displaced and worse off than their parents were. I admit I differ from my colleagues in certain ways. For example, we need to see an increase in the minimum wage in order to help out average Americans and boost demand in our economy. An average Republican won't be able to correct the ship after a recession like this one. That's why I'm running. We need new ideas and fresh faces in Washington.


It's simple: I did what few politicians do and admit I made a mistake. I made a mistake when I voted for a war that had no end. I made a mistake when I pushed for the deaths of thousands of American lives that could have been saved. I thought we were going into Iraq with the right intentions. Saddam Hussein was clearly a man who brutalized his own people. However, seeing the chaos unfold and the unexplained questions from the Bush administration made me question what we went into. After visiting the funeral for the son of a family in my district, I realized just what we had done--what *I* had done. Ever since then, I've done whatever I can in Congress to avoid repeating the mistakes we did in Iraq. General Smedley Butler said it best that war is a racket, and it should only be the final option. Americans don't deserve being subject to any further foreign adventures just because warmongers want regime change or to push their influence in a region. It's troubling to see so many here push for more aggression when we're talking about human lives at stake. War affects each and every one of us, and when we go to war, it must be done responsibly. That is the ultimate lesson of Iraq.

Closing statement:

This year, we have choices. We can choose to follow along the path of the donor class, who want crony capitalism, endless wars, and more of the same business we're used to. Those candidates are up here on this stage. 2012 is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to change Washington for the better, though. I'm running as a different kind of Republican. You won't see me cozying up to lobbyists, because I don't want their money. The establishment has tried to knock me out many times now, but I always come out standing because the people of my district know they have a congressman with integrity. I'll stand up for regular Americans whose voices have been left behind for years. I'll fix our VA system and take care of veterans who have been ignored for so long. I'll protect our entitlements like Social Security unlike those who wish to put a wrecking ball to it all. I'll put America first: both by stopping these horrible trade deals and by avoiding military entanglements like Washington warned us. If you want real change this election, I'm your guy. Thank you.

September 1-5: Town halls and meet and greets in Iowa; reaching out to pro-life organizations; building campaign staff statewide, particularly rural areas.

September 6-12: Town halls and meet and greets in New Hampshire; multiple interviews with local radio stations; building campaign infrastructure with focus on grassroots enthusiasm.

September 12-20: Town halls and meet and greets in South Carolina; interviews with local TV stations; building relationships with veterans groups; building campaign infrastructure with strong focus on northern SC, bordering Congressman Jones's district.

September 21-23: Congressional duties; interviews with CNN and Fox News; anti-war rally against Libyan intervention in Washington, D.C.

September 24-26: Town halls and meet and greets in Nevada; outreach to Latino and veterans groups; building campaign infrastructure with focus on rural areas.

September 27-28: Town halls and meet and greets in Minnesota; interviews with local radio and TV outlets; building up ground game for caucus.

September 29-30: Town halls in South Carolina; rally in Charleston; continued outreach with veterans groups; voter registration drive.

At an antiwar demonstration televised in Washington D.C., Congressman Jones made the following remarks:

Look at the death toll in Libya. Look at the damage suffered by the people. With our reckless foreign policy, we're leaving the Middle East worse off than it already was. This madness must stop now!

[. . .]

Mr. President, if you care about human rights and you care about seeing the well-being of the Libyan people, I beg you to show leadership and stop the carnage being waged by NATO. This is a dangerous path we're going down and we don't know the full ramifications of this conflict. It must end now or we will see the consequences 5, 10, and 20 years down the line. And we won't like it, folks.

[. . .]

The Iraq War has taught me many things. It made me realize that American men and women lose their arms, legs, and lives when we don't think through the consequences of bombs and bullets. I've put the photographs of the brave Americans who've lost their lives throughout my congressional office as a constant reminder that, while I'm still here on this planet, I must do the Lord's work and save lives. This is what is at stake here: not just American lives, but Libyan lives too.

1.- The Obama Administration has set the date of withdrawal from Iraq by December of this year, which would seemingly end a decade of American military presence in the country. Is this withdrawal the right choice to make?


I don't want America to be a nation builder, but President Bush and Obama has forced us into this situation I think we should stay in these countries to make sure they are stable so we don't let another Iran take over the middle east. With this we need to put an end into this violence I propose by then end of my first term we will hopefully not be in Iraq, but I cannot make any promises America, We don't need to win the hearts and minds of the Iraqi people the Iraqi Government and Iraqi Defense Force need to make sure Iraq is stable, but I think we need to slowly pull out, but with a strong democratic ally in the middle east.



2.- Many of the main issues always being debate inside the Republican Party tend to be social issues and social values, an area in which there appears to be significant disagreement. Where do you stand on abortion?

Abortion, well I don't think the Government should be telling American women what they can and can't do with their bodies, but I do think we need regulation on the issue we need to make sure women can have access to clean and safe abortions and make sure that the American Tax payer decides where we stand. I would be more in favor of the states to decide on the issue of Abortion, but I will not support the issue of repealing Roe v Wade. On another social issue, Gay Marriage America needs to let it happen, the Government shouldn't tell 2 consenting adults what they can and cannot do, If we want a smaller government then we shouldn't tell people whether they can do with their own bodies and own minds.


Congressman Upton: Congressman, while your comments on Obamacare have been discussed in detail the same does not apply to your gun policy, which some NRA activists have described as "troubling". Where do you stand on guns?


Im fully in support of gun rights, we need to have universal background checks and making sure that sick people dont get ahold of guns so we can protect the innocent people of America. America is the land of the free, but we need background checks to make sure people who get guns are not criminals and people with mental instability. An American people that are disarmed is no America at all we need to assure the American people the ability to purchase Firearms.




Closing Statement


I believe that we need a free and equal America one that fights for not just the small guy, but the entire country. If we cannot balance moderation and equality then we need to strive, don't vote for me because I am a Republican, vote for me because you respect my views. We the American people have too long been held silent, but that time will end when you cast your vote whether Republican or Democrat and we need to fight for the American way of life and the American Dream. GOD BLESS AMERICA! AND GOD BLESS YOU ALL!

Well, I guess it was only a matter a time before pundits and spin-masters got hold of one of my statements and twisted it beyond belief.

Let me tell the American people again what they may have already heard me say, except this time I'm going to clarify -- no shifting, no flip-flopping, just clarifying.

First of all I'd like to reiterate that no matter what way you spin it, forcing 11 million people out of the United States is a fool's errand -- its a political promise with no real weight behind it. What we can instead do are two things that I believe will keep the best and brightest in, and make sure everyone else uses the legal mode of entry.

All of us can agree that service in our military is one of the greatest commitments to our country a person can make. If someone who lacks the proper residency status joins our military, and puts their life on the line for our nation, well that makes them an American to me. If someone is willing to make the greatest sacrifice possible for our country, let's give them a green card to thank them for their service.

The same goes for folks getting advanced degrees at our universities. I don't think the federal government should be paying for their college -- that just encourages more illegal immigration -- but I do believe that if someone without the right papers is getting one of the highest levels of education in the nation, lets staple the green card to their diploma so we can keep the best and brightest here.

But just because I believe in that doesn't mean I don't stand for ending illegal immigration and securing our borders. Throughout this campaign I have advocated for a massive expansion of border security measures we passed in 2006, with the hopes of building a border fence spanning the entire Mexican border and increasing security presence with new technologies. I've also advocated for a stricter enforcement of employment laws so that people in this country illegally can no longer take jobs from hard working Americans. If we want to lower our 9% unemployment rate, let's take jobs away from undocumented immigrants for a change and give them back to legal American citizens.

I believe America is focusing on the wrong kind of immigration and shunning the right one. When we stop giving handouts to illegal immigrants, they will go somewhere else to find them -- it's as simple as that. Instead, we have to look to reforming our visa programs so that the brightest people in the world still come to America to help create more jobs and make our country prosperous.

So to answer your question, to the conservatives doubting my immigration agenda, and to the American people, I'll tell you this: you're going to hear a lot of candidates try to lure you in with big, glamorous promises that they can't deliver on. Don't let these people fool you as the "true conservatives" in this election. A true conservative has not only a conservative agenda, but the foresight and pragmatism to get it done. Sure, my plan might not sound as radical or iron-fisted as the other guys', but I'll tell you why -- it works. Good, successful policy isn't loud, and it doesn't try to show-off, it works.

I said this in the last debate and I'll say it again' We'll need to mix it up. President Obama wants to cut all fossil fuel jobs because eventually 'die out'. Mr. President, I want to ask you something. Have you ever gone to West Virginia? Have you ever gone to Kentucky? Have you ever gone to Appalachia? The people have nothing else but those jobs. That's the only thing they are good at. That's what put money in their pockets. That's what put food on the table. That's what keeps their children well fed and healthy. Is it the safest job? No, it isn't. Is it best for the planet? Definitely not. But I ask you America, what is more important? A family starving because they completely lost their livelihood or something that will happen in probably a hundred years from now? For Alternative Jobs, I do agree that we should use them but let's completely test it out first in states like Nevada, Utah, and Arizona. We can't be too reliant on an energy source that might not be very efficient while we have a very efficient one that already helps. I said this last debate but I think it should be repeated: let's rely on 52% Alternative Energy and 48% Fossil Fuels, that way the planet is somewhat safer and people still have their livelihood.



I talked about this issue in a rally I did in Nevada last month *laughs* Guess, I should say what it was again. Our border is too unsecure, everyone has to admit that. What I want is to have a larger, longer, and far more prepared fence going from California to Texas and every 5 miles of fencing should be guarded by 5-10 border guards. This is too limit immigration to an all time low. If you want in to this country, you have to do it legally. For illegals already here, if they're attempting to make a decent income and trying to give their children a better life, I think they should be allowed to be Naturalized and Legalized. If they're clearly gaming the system, I do think they need to get out and if they have came back after more than one deportation, then they should be locked up for 4 months and deported back afterwards. If the illegal immigrant committed a crime and they're a repeat deportation offender, then they will stay in prison for an amount of time that the crime that is given to normal citizens plus the four months.




I said it should be repealed, yes I do admit that. I'm sorry I didn't specify on what I mean however. I want to give the AAC a partial Repeal. I don't want it to be just one healthcare company, I want it to be a series of Healthcare companies to give people more of an option when they choose and lessen the risk of a Premium that someone can't afford. The AAC as it is right now is alright but it can be worked on. That's what I want to do with it. Again, I apologise for not clarifying what I meant by repeal. I'll remember to clarify next time.


In the last debate, it has come to my attention that I was too conservative, especially on Libya and Obamacare. I'm from the south and you must remember that it's conservative there. Now, when it comes to Libya, after Gaddafi's death, I want to revoke my previous stance. I was wrong for saying such things and I do apologise. Now that I have thought more on it, I agree that we should not support any group whatsoever. This can't be another Iraq but I do think that a No-Fly Zone might lead to war between some countries but I will keep it in place unless it seems war is likely. America, we are at a crossroads. We always have been at one in an election season. For the last 4 years there have been ups and downs. I just want to ask of you to look into what Senator Ron Paul had talked about Obama and McCain last Election and how both of them had no real differences in policy. It's hard to swallow that that is our president. Thank you for allowing me to be here. It's an honor America.

Bredesen would Campaign in the states of Texas, Missouri, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, West Virginia, Tennessee, Arkansas, Louisana, Mississippi, Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, Alabama, North Carolina, Virginia, Oklahoma, and Kansas staying on his Blue Dog stance while also telling people on his stances on some issues while he also brought up the issue of Government Reform during a rally in Houston, Texas. He was also very clear and explained each of his ideas in great detail. On October 25th, he released his Tax returns of the past 20 years. On Halloween, he traveled to New York City and treat and treated with several families as well as giving some families some good ideas for a better way to spend money. After 3 hours of this, he stayed in a hotel in Harlem and waited out the last days of October in New York City.

BREDESEN: No, I didn't do it because I thought I'd win. I'm not even sure if I can win and everyone else agrees that this early, no one can be sure. I did it because I believe the earlier you are honest with people on things like tax returns, the more people trust you. America needs an honest person to lead them and I think I'm that person.

Adam Carolla debate answers part 1
()

1.To Mr. Carolla: Mr. Carolla, you have begun to rise in the polls, although it is said such an increase might have been higher were it not for your negative perception among some Tea Party circles. Can you reassure conservatives in the GOP that you are a valid choice for them?

Carolla:Listen I feel their pain and understand their cause.  I am not another member of what you think is the Hollywood elite *laughs*  I am just as Amercian as you. I wasnt feed by a golden spoon I actually had to work my way up to the top.

I want to spread the message of Liberty and the Constitution unlike the establishment like President Obama and Hillary Clinton who just still there and just claim they are fighting for people like you but really they just laugh at you in their penthouses and million dollar lake houses while talking to their donors.

Not all people from Hollywood like myself are like that.   And I think I am fighting for your revolution. Just look at my economic plan. I want Amercia to be the place where the tax rate is lower as the bottom of the deepest part of the ocean.  Something is happening in this country and your revolution is happening.

You look at President Obama’s again.  Obamacare is one steep closer towards socialized medicine.  I believe he has the most radical agenda when it comes to plans like Healthcare and Medicare as he is going to break that system instead of making those programs better.  

Obama is a typical statist. He believes that government is the solution for every need and for every desire of your life.

His goal for this country is a nanny state and he wants to make our decisions like he’s a king of some sort and I don’t want that!!

So yes as the Republican nominee I will fight for your cause. I will fight for your revolution and most of all I will fight for you!!

1.- The Obama Administration has set the date of withdrawal from Iraq by December of this year, which would seemingly end a decade of American military presence in the country. Is this withdrawal the right choice to make?

Yes, this is the right decision, enough money, time, and lives have been wasted on this stupid venture. It is out time, good on President Obama for making this decision.

2.- Many of the main issues always being debate inside the Republican Party tend to be social issues and social values, an area in which there appears to be significant disagreement. Where do you stand on abortion?

Pro life in all cases, barring life of the mother, all rape (except statutory), and incest (which I believe should be a heavy felony).



9.- To Senator Chambliss: Senator, the so called "Chickengate" issue has led to your collapse in primary polling and the withdrawal of support from several key donors. Do you believe you can stage a comeback from such a difficult situation?

No, I do not. It is obvious that I am not wanted by either the GOP or the people of this nation. Which is why I am taking this opportunity to drop out of this race, and endorse Obama for reelection. He is the best out of the worst, because all the candidates except me sucked, Obama is just the best out of them. I'd like to thank my most loyal supporters, friends, and family, and telling all the rest of y'all that you made a big mistake by not supporting me, and the only way to redeem yourselves now is to cast your ballots for the next best choice, Obama, the one who is qualified and kept this country afloat and patching up the leaks over the past several years, status quo is better than anything else offered to you now at this point. Here is a guide to why you should not vote for any of the other douchebags.

Hillary Clinton: Crooked Wench.
Russ Feingold: Sleazy Loser.
Phil Bredesen: Somewhat more palatable, but one of the fakest moderates and liars ever.
Mitt Romney: Liberal in hiding, elitist, gold underwear wearer.
Chris Christie: Fat and innefective slob who barely beat a frequent catamite user.
Sarah Palin: Drunken and degrading stereotype of a redneck. Fakest one ever. Makes the 99% of good ones look terrible, seriously, she is the second worst one running here.
Ron Paul: RINO and Libertarian.
Bobby Jindal: Confirmed chicken diddler, don't doubt it.
Donald Trump: Fake flip flopper who is a botox abuser.
Adam Carolla: Unwashed, sleazy, and overall disgusting beach bum.
Walter Jones: Worse hair than Trump, has no enthusiasm.
Fred Upton: Green Party Plant.
Wesley Clark: Vote sink and even less legitimate than Captain Crunch.
Anyone else I missed: Screw them.

So I am officially out of the 2012 Presidential Campaign, thanks to all those who believed in me, and **** the rest of you, Good Day, and remember to now cast your ballots for Obama, our only hope remaining.

Friendly reminder, the last debate intervention is not considered as part of the game. There will be an article on Senator Chambliss dropping out once the new possible GOP candidates confirm that they will (or not) be running and post their announcements.

(Also, no commentary on this matter here, that belongs on the Sign Up thread)

Hillary Clinton Campaign Schedule

Adam Carolla debate answers part 2


1.- The Obama Administration has set the date of withdrawal from Iraq by December of this year, which would seemingly end a decade of American military presence in the country. Is this withdrawal the right choice to make?

Carolla:Well Obama’s is not ending the War in Iraq technically what he is doing is withdrawing our troops and putting them in Yemen and wants to start a unconstitutional war in Iran which I feel he will do if he were elected for a second term.

What he is going for is silent warfare. We still have some troops but mostly drone and aircraft he is just now coming to start doing drone strikes and air strikes in the area.
 
As President we will get out of Iraq and put our focus on Afghanistan and Pakistan and we will cut funding to the people that we funded when we started that war turned out to be allies of Bin Laden and Al Queda.


In my first term our US Foreign Policy should be finding getting Osama Bin Laden and most of Al Qaeda who probably are in the region of Afghanistan and Pakistan.  When we are done with that I believe our mission will be done

I promise as president if I were to declare war I would fully ask Congress to declare for one and I don’t want to declare any war.

And I will go out and say that we should of withdrawn after Saddam’s death.  Obama’s pull us out too late and I will that will be costly in the future.

However I do believe that we and the UN in a non combat role help out in the rebuilding of Iraq and put in a democracy that holds free elections and respects the rights of Christians and Jews in the Middle East.

2. Many of the main issues always being debate inside the Republican Party tend to be social issues and social values, an area in which there appears to be significant disagreement. Where do you stand on abortion?

Carolla:Well as President I will cut federal funding for Planned Parenthood and leave it up to the states.

I believe that I shouldn’t be paying for a abortion with my tax dollars so that someone I have no  knowledge of should have a abortion it’s none of my business.

Washington should do something better with their time they get into a person’s abortion. It should be left to all 50 states not the government.

And also this will save taxpayers like me and you and the federal budget much money.

Carolla’s closing statement

Well before I say good night. I started talking about the tea party and I will end talking about Tea Party.

You look at the front runners they are on the side of Speaker Bohener who has fallen into Obama’s trap and has not delivered what you voted for.  Well if you nominate Chris Christie or Mitt Romney you are nominating someone who will act like John Boehner who I know is a enemy to you guys.

As President I will deliver on Tea Party promises. Not just the Libertarian or moderate Republicans.

That is why our campaign’s solgan is A Different Kind Of Republican.

Don’t let the Hollywood past lie to you. I will defend the Free Market and Free Enterprise which I believe is something more powerful than the government will ever be.

President Reagan said it best Govenor is the problem not the solution. And he also put very well that we the people tell the government what to do not the other way around.

And right here is a favorite of mine of what he said.

We the people are the driver and the government is the car and we the car tell the government we’re should it go and what to do.

Thank you all and good night.

Hillary Clinton Debate
October 2011 Debate




Clinton: Our environment is the most important policy issue, in the grand scheme of things, because of the tremendous impact it has on our ability to survive as a species on this planet. I'll give President Obama some credit here, he's done a lot of good work on protecting the environment. We should continue that work that he's begun, holding polluters accountable and continuing our dialogue with other countries to develop a global solution to climate change. But where President Obama hasn't done such a good job is protecting the people who lose their jobs because of the transition to a greener society. We need to invest serious federal money into re-training coal workers into new roles in a new economy. I'm serious about this: we cannot go green and leave the hardworking men and women of coal country high and dry. I'm willing to committ $30 billion to the revitalization of coal communities, through job training, small business development, and infrastructure investment.


Clinton: I have a clear, three-point immigration plan. First: We need to protect children who, through no fault of their own, were brought to this country illegally by their parents. How can we punish a child who knows no other home than America and send them to the country they were born in? Second: We need to establish a clear pathway to citizenship, similar to the one that President Obama promised in 2008 but has failed to deliver on. What I'm proposing is a 13-year process, where people who came here illegally but is in good standing with the law and their community can pay a fine and some back-taxes and have the opportunity to become a citizen opened to them. President Obama made this one of his campaign promises but, like so many promises of his, failed to make it into policy. Third: We need to conduct humane removals of illegal immigrants who have committed violent crimes and pose a threat to their community. There are some people who come here and do harm and we just can't have that. I believe in making America a kind and open nation, but we can't be taken advantage of.


Clinton: I think it comes down to experience. I've spent the last 12 years in the United States Senate, crafting our national policy and steering the course of the nation. As First Lady, I spent 8 years representing our country on the world stage. As First Lady of Arkansas, I spent 12 years managing the relationship between the State government and the Federal government. I know how to make legislation, I know how to pass legislation, and I know how to balance the needs of a State with the needs of the Federal Government. We need a President who can hit the ground running on Day One, utilize the post-election political capital to kick start an administration, and make the most out of the First 100 Days. Governor Bredesen has never spent a day in Washington. I'm not going to write-off his experience in Tenneessee, making laws and passing legislation there, but there's a world a difference between the Teneessee State Legislature and the United States Congress.


Clinton: This election is about so much more than personalities. Sure, I would like it if you liked me. But that's not what our elections are about. The Presidency of the United States is far more importance than the popularity contests that decide Prom King. We need a President with strong, well-thought out policies and a plan to impliment them. We need a President who understands the demands of the office. We need a President who can start working on Day One. We don't need a President who you want to have a beer with, we need a President you trust to respond when the phone rings at 3:00 AM.

In 2007 Barack Obama promised Americans that our troops in Iraq would be out of the country in a little over a year. Here we are over 3 years later -- our troops still in Iraq, and President Obama facing major competition in the Democratic Primary. Obama knows he is vulnerable in this election, and his announcement to now withdraw troops from Iraq is no more than a blatant political maneuver to save his image as a President who broke his promises.

Let's look at the facts. Over 4,000 brave Americans have lost their lives in Iraq since 2003. The orderly transition and stability the people of Iraq were promised still hasn't arrived, and if we pull out now, those American sacrifices made will be in vein. It's clear this move isn't a part of a true military strategy -- its an act of political desperation.

America does need to get out of Iraq -- that's the bottom line -- but we cannot leave until we are sure our near decade of work in the country and thousands of lives lost, both Iraqi and American, were lost securing the freedom of a nation overwhelmed by extremism and instability. If I'm elected I'll do what our current President won't -- firmly negotiate with Iraqi leaders to secure a stable transition, and ensure we leave Iraq a better place than it was in 2003 -- which right now looks unlikely.

America deserves a President that acts on what is right, not on what is politically rewarding to them. America deserves a President who will live up to their promises and not write the country a blank check. America deserves a President willing to stand up for itself, and promote freedom around the world. Barack Obama has had his time, and he has failed. Let's elect someone who can bring real change to Iraq, and who can tell the families of our fallen soldiers that their sons and daughters did not lose their lives in vein.


I am a man of faith. My faith guides my moral philosophy and my outlook on the world, and I would say the issue of abortion is no different. I am a proud defender of life before birth, and would absolutely consider myself pro-life.

There are only three exceptions in which I believe abortion should be limited to: instances of rape or incest, or when the mother's life is at risk. I support the reversal of Roe V. Wade, and if elected will appoint judges that share that belief -- it's bad law and bad medicine, simple as that.

I support the Hyde Amendment, which bars the use of federal funds to support abortions. I'll also stop the United States from using foreign aid to fund abortions abroad. We shouldn't be spending taxpayer dollars to fund abortions globally, let alone in our own borders. Under a Romney administration, Planned Parenthood would also be federally de-funded.

I think it's pretty simple. Human life begins at conception -- that's a scientific fact. I would even question your suggestion that there is significant disagreement on this within the party, as it's been included in our platform since 2004. When we talk about abortion, people forget that it's not just one life involved, but two. As President, I would ensure that we defend and protect both lives involved, and have judges that do the same.

Guys, he’s an independent, a war hero, someone who actively fights against the corruption in Washington!!! How much better can you get?!?My goodness, America, I don’t really make political endorsements, but Clark’s my guy.

(Narrated by his son)

()

Who is Wesley Clark you may ask?

()

Wesley Clark was born in a small town in Arkansas on a cold December night. He was raised in a small, middle income household.

()

His family taught him the values of service and hard work, and when America came calling, Wesley served. He finished high in his military class, and he was sent off to Vietnam.

()

He took four rounds to his body from an AK-47 but still gave commands on the battlefield, and was given the Silver Star.

()

His work after the war was well known to commanders, working to help the Vietnam Veterans Memorial happen, and becoming an adviser to the Supreme Allied Commander, Alexander Haig. Wesley’s tactics changed post-Vietnam combat, earning him a promotion to Major General.

()

When duty called, he served his county Valiantly in Kosovo. He bravely led many U.S troops, but soon a different duty came to him. He saw what was happening under the reign of President Bush and spoke out. He revealed how much of a travesty his presidency had been, and what it was going to be. He announced his candidacy for President in 2004. As you can tell, he didn’t win, and if he did things sure would have been a heck of a lot different.

()

My dad saw how terrible things were under the Obama administration too, and how the President broke promises again. This time, he said he’s done with the two party system. My dad is running for President. Will you help him? Will you call my father to duty, once more?

()

”I’m Wesley Clark, and I approve this message!”

Clinton: Governor, this is a charge I've faced my entire career: that I'm a big city liberal who claims to be a champion of rural, working class voters. And every time I respond the same way. Most of my life, I lived in Arkansas, a rural, Southern state. Actually, Governor, Arkansas is more rural than Tennessee is. I've traveled to every corner of the Natural State, during my 12 years as First Lady of Arkansas and since, and I've seen first hand the struggles of rural communities. That's why I pressured the Federal Government and secured federal funds to expand access to medical facilities in the most rural communities of the state. Even more than that, Governor, there's more to New York than the City. 60% of the state's population live outside of New York City. That's nearly 10 million people. I've represented every citizen of the State of New York - from cities like New York and Buffalo and rural communities in the Adirondacks - equally over the last twelve years. As you and the American people at home just heard, I have a comprehensive plan to respond to the transition to a greener economy without leaving coal workers in the cold.

You brought up 2008. Well, let's talk about it then, Governor. The American people did not "reject" me, as you claim they did. Thousands of voters in Florida and Michigan were told their votes didn't count. Michigan received no representation at the DNC in Colorado, Florida received half of the votes it should have. If you include the votes from the hardworking men and women in Michigan who came out to vote despite them being told by the DNC their votes didn't matter, I won the popular vote nationwide. If Michigan and Florida had been treated fairly, maybe 2008 would have happened differently. But I don't have a time-machine, so there's no speculating about what could have been. There was no overwhelming rejection by the American people of my campaign in 2008 that you claim there was; there was a rejection of my campaign by the Democratic Party establishment, through superdelegates and the unfair treatment of Florida and Michigan, two states critical to any Democratic General Election victory.

A Plan For Working Families, Airing in Iowa, New Hampshire, Florida, New York, Maine, Arizona, and Michigan


- Scene shifts to various clips of families getting ready for work in the morning, driving to school, parents at work and kids at school, coming home at the end of the day, sitting and watching TV at night, and parents putting the kids to bed -

HILLARY (VOICE OVER): All across this country, families are struggling because they don't have the resources they need or the opportunities they deserve. The economy has not recovered from the Great Recession and many families are still suffering. That's why we need a comprehensive plan to address the needs of working families. My platform calls for the largest middle class tax cut in history, to give people more freedom with their money. My administration will aggressively pursue companies that export jobs and keep their money in off-shore accounts, to keep our businesses fair. My plan recognizes that education is the key to opportunity, which is why we will work to create better public schools for our children and increase federal aid for adults returning to school. Together, we can build a country that works for working families.

- Scene cuts to Hillary Clinton in Armed Forces Committee meetings, Hillary Clinton with world leaders as First Lady and Senator, and Hillary Clinton meeting with military and police leaders -

NARRATOR (VOICE OVER): No one is as qualified to step up to these challenges as Senator Hillary Clinton. As First Lady, she stood on the world stage and declared "women's rights are human rights".

As Senator, she's spent twelve years on the Armed Forces Committee, standing up for out active duty soldiers and our veterans.

- Scene cuts to Hillary Clinton on the campaign trail in New Hampshire, speaking at a VFW -

HILLARY: We need to remember that we are the most powerful country on the face of the earth. We have control of the largest nuclear force ever seen.

2nd Republican Presidential Debate
Ernie Fletcher





The war is such a big part of America's modern policy. It's been at least 1 or 2 years since that policy should've taken effect according to Obama's promise. That didn't happen. It is only now he can deliver this promise, and the fact he can only deliver on it during an election season is glaring political opportunism.

If we intend to move out of Iraq responsibly, we need to ensure our time there doesn't go to waste. We need to leave Iraq with no possible reason to come back and spend another couple trillion dollars in taxpayer money.

So let's not give us another reason to start another war and spend trillions, rather just use the ideas of common Sense.



Well, if America doesn't know already, I've been pro- life all of my life. Consistently, and I've never turned my back on that position. I'll proudly defend my pro- life positions. What I'd like to do is keep abortion funding out of our budget because it really, really doesn't belong there.

As President, I will never, ever support abortion or use taxpayer money to fund it. As a doctor myself, it doesn't sit right with me or most of Americans. However, like many Americans, I have a middle ground. That is rape, incest, and a threat to the mother's life. And I'll make sure to uphold a pro- life policy because I'm one of the few Republicans that have been consistent on it.

Bottom line is that I do not support Roe v. Wade, and again, I'm one of the few Republicans that never have here. And on that note, consistency is something I find very little in politicians.



Thank you for the question, Moderator. I explain my bid like this: These past events were made specifically to play a game of political gotcha and dirty politics. A game the majority of Americans disapprove of and for good reason. I believe the work I did as governor greatly overshadows this scandal, and overall, I'm more proud of that.

I'm more proud that we reversed a billion dollar deficit, raised infrastructure & education spending, offered tuition tax credits, and much more, all while we lowered taxes. The idea that a scandal I was never convicted on overshadows this is a political scam.

I share the disappointment and dissatisfaction of the American people of the political rhetoric of our nation's leaders and our current administration. The fact is the political machine of our nation's leaders is a failed system that has served no Americans except itself. As President, I will not play this game of political gotcha and it's about time we end it in Washington.




Governor Romney, let me say that you are one of the candidates up here that have not stayed consistent on the Abortion issue. On a televised debate less than a decade ago, you stated that you would "preserve and protect a woman's right to choose and am devoted and dedicated to honoring my word in that regard."

How can you really say you're pro- life?

Governor, you just told the American people you're running for President because you're sick of "gotcha" politics, yet that is what you have just played.

Governor, you're right, back in 1994 my stance on abortion was more liberal than it was today, but it is unfair to take a single statement from 20 years ago and paint my views as if they are black and white. The truth is, governor, with issues as personal as abortion, people often must take a personal journey to develop their views.

Let me give you and the American people the full story, Governor.

Many, many years ago, I had a dear family relative that I was very close to who passed away from an illegal abortion. After that tragic and needless incident, my family became committed to upholding current laws to prevent anyone from feeling the same pain that we did. That is what shaped my view on abortion until I became Governor of Massachusetts.

My position changed during the stem-cell research debate. The provost of Harvard and the head of stem-cell research came into my office and at one point said that stem-cell research was not a moral issue because they killed the embryo at 14 days. And it hit me hard at that very moment that the Roe v. Wade philosophy had cheapened the value of human life. And I said to my chief of staff, who was with me in the meeting, as we came outside, “I am no longer content with the description of my position. I want to call myself pro-life.”

It's easy in politics to paint issues as black and white, Governor -- to play "gotcha politics," as you put it. That's easy to do. It's hard to tell personal stories, stories of growth, change, and emotion.

So sure, 20 years ago my views on abortion were different than they are today. That doesn't make me any less willing to defend the right to life, it just makes my position more nuanced. To prevent the illegal abortions that took the life of my family member, I believe that abortions in the case of rape, incest, or threat to the mother's health should still be legal. To prevent the needless loss of unborn human life, I support wholeheartedly pro-life policies.

So please, Governor, I agree with you. Let's stop playing "gotcha politics" and tell the full story. It may not be easy for me to say, or for people to hear, but it's the right thing to do.

Carolla campaign ad on Romney’s Planned Parenthood flip flop
Airs in all 50 states

*Voice Over*

Narrator:*Clip Of Mitt Romney’s speech at the debate about abortion and being pro life*
()

Mr Romney claims to be pro life and that he will fight to cut funding for Planned Parenthood good.

However in 2007 a article came to life that by ABC news showed that Governor Romney and his 1994 Senate campaign and his wife donated 150 dollar donation to Planned Parenthood.

And it doesn’t stop their until 2004 the Romney’s kept donating to Planned Parenthood and Planned Parenthood causes.

Just another lie from the Establishment.

()

Adam Carolla will fight to defund Planned Parenthood and keep his word on it.

He will get it out of the government and out of your tax dollars.

Defunding Planned Parenthood hood would save us 500$ million dollars and keep us more money that will help us balence the budget.

I’m Adam Carolla and I approve this message.

1.- The Obama Administration has set the date of withdrawal from Iraq by December of this year, which would seemingly end a decade of American military presence in the country. Is this withdrawal the right choice to make?

I'll get straight to the point: no. If we withdraw from Iraq now, it will create a power vacuum. No matter whether you believe that the Iraq War was a good thing or a bad thing: we're there now. And if we pull them out now, we would leave Iraq half-finished and in a more turbulent state than before. So many members of our military have given their lives to this cause, and many more families have been caused suffering because of this. Now we should let all of this sacrifice go to nothing? That would be irresponsible, and frankly disrespectful. Obama's decision will cause much more suffering than relief.

What I would do, if elected President, is to make sure when we eventually pull out--which would not be now--we would walk home with three things. First, a country that is more stable than we left it. Second, a country that can hold free and democratic elections. Third, we can make sure that the Iraqi people will be liberated and that we will be able to achieve what we came to Iraq for--not just to condemn terrorism, but to liberate and help the Iraqi people live normal lives. I hope to achieve this as fast as possible, because we don't need more Americans to sacrifice their lives, however, we will only pull out after these three things are achieved. If we pull out before, we would be doing a great disrespect to those who had to sacrifice their lives.

2.- Many of the main issues always being debate inside the Republican Party tend to be social issues and social values, an area in which there appears to be significant disagreement. Where do you stand on abortion?

I'm sure it's a surprise to no one--I'm pro-life and I have always been. I believe that human life begins at conception, because of my faith, and anything else would violate that. The rights of not only the mothers, but also the babies must be respected. These are humans, too. While I believe that there should be lesser restrictions when the life of the mother is in jeopardy, I believe that anything else violates the basic human rights that were endowed to these unborn by their Creator. This should not be an issue of significant debate, as these are human lives at stake.

Here's what I will do, if elected President. I will defund Planned Parenthood. I will support the Hyde Amendment. And I will appoint conservative justices who will overturn Roe v. Wade. This is change. And we need change that will benefit all Americans, no matter whether they can speak for themselves or not!

To Governor Jindal: Governor, much has been made by public figures such as Mr. Trump regarding the place of birth of President Obama. Where do you stand on the "Birther" issue?

As evidenced by the Chambliss campaign, I have myself been accused of not being born in the United States, while in fact I was born in Baton Rouge. Where else would I have been born? New Orleans? (laughs) In all seriousness, the "birther" movement is in no way helping to get conservatives back into the White House. In fact, it is hurting our chances. (direct to camera) I realize you want change. In fact, that is the very reason I am running this campaign. But accusing the President of falsifying documents is not the place to start when you want change. First, it delegitimizes our movement. Many think we stand for these made-up beliefs. Second, what help does it do to conservatives to sit around and throw accusations at Obama? If you want real change, the least you can do get educated on the issues, pick up your bootstraps, and go out and vote. But even better, instead of making up stories, you can learn the facts, join our campaign, and help advocate for our cause of change. Instead of tearing someone down, build something up.

And for the record, I believe Obama was born in Honolulu.

Closing statement

Now, many of you might have heard my debate answers tonight and thought "wow, he sounds like all the other candidates up here". Well, that's because much of the Republican caucus stands in favor of these same issues that were discussed tonight. However, I'll use this closing statement to show why I'm different.

I'm not your average candidate. I'm not accepting money from Super PACs, I've spoken out against lobbying firms (the friends of many of the candidates on this stage tonight), and I go door-to-door in every state I visit and get to know every person I meet. Now, none of this makes my campaign easier. In fact, it makes it a lot harder. Not having a Super PAC means that I don't have a constant stream of money. I won't get endorsements from powerful lobbying firms. And it takes a lot of energy, time, and money to go door-to-door every week.

So why would I do all of this? Shouldn't I be making it easier for me to win? No. Because this campaign isn't about me, it's about all of you. And when I condemn the Washington elites and their style of campaigning in this way, all Americans benefit. Many of the other candidates on this stage won't do this, because they know it takes effort to run a campaign like mine. And if they do, well, they're copying me. (laughs)

But let's get to the nitty gritty. America wants, and needs change. And for us to win in 2012, we don't need a another Washington insider to top the ticket and campaign for the same issues and values that we lost on in 2008. No, we need someone who will be committed to bringing change to America. And so far, I'm the only candidate that fits this bill.

So, America, you're faced with a choice.

If you choose any of the other candidates on this stage, you're choosing the establishment politics of 2008 that cost us the campaign.

If you choose me, then you'll see change. Change not only in our party, but in our political system. In our society. In America.

And America, it's time for change.

Governor, I don't like political games as much as the next person, but these are the issues that matter. They are not political games. They're serious to the people at home. People at home all across the nation that have their own experiences with abortion and why they're pro- life. They want someone who has consistently stood up for that. I've always stood up for life beginning at conception, and Governor Romney, you haven't. You told us one thing in Massachusetts, another thing in New Hampshire, it's a legitimate concern when I ask you what you'll say in D.C. I know a game of political "got ya" when I see it, and Governor Romney, you, evidently, don't.

Carolla campaign update for October 2011

Carolla campaigned in Iowa and South Carolla for most of the first half trying to  appeal to the tea party voters.

In his case Carolla named a list of the history of Romney and Christie’s anti Tea Party history and that they are no different than Obama and Hillary on some social issues.

Carolla also campaigned on campaign on NAFTA and free trade agreements once again talking about how they have ruined Iowa.

No, and it's an absolute disgrace that President Obama is playing politics with Iraq. This is what the Obama-Clinton political machine do best; they put their own electoral prospects ahead of the security of the United States.

I wanna make this clear. As President I will never, ever play politics with our national security. The only people who will benefit from withdrawing US troops from Iraq are Al-Qaeda, and the other terrorist groups who will step in the moment we lead. That's where there's three crucial things we've got to do. One, we've got to keep training, supporting and aiding the Iraqi Army, because they'll be the one's doing the heavy lifting, second we should keep a small, rapid protection force in Iraq for the foreseeable future and finally, and I don't think anyone else has actually said this; but we've got proud about promoting Democracy in Iraq.

It's a brilliant thing. Millions of Iraqi's were able to go and carry out there must fundamental right; the right to vote. Millions of women were able to go to the polls, and vote. If we pulled out without any combat troops, without any sort of proper plan we could see this all go up in flames. It's easy to talk about how horrible Obama's policies are, we all know that (cheers)

The hard thing is to put forward you own plans, which I have, and to demonstrate that you've been able to carry them out; I'm the only person on this stage who've put terrorists behind bars. If you want someone as commander in chief who has direct experience at keeping America safe, and promoting the power of American Democracy; then I'm your candidate.


I'll be honest with viewers, until I first heard my daughters heartbeat in the womb, when she was at 13 weeks, I was a non-thinking pro-choice guy. But when I heard that heartbeat, that precious beat of life, I knew that heartbeat was a life, and I changed my view. I think I'm like a lot of other conservatives in the country, in that I didn't make up my mind by reading a textbook- I made up my mind through the wonders of seeing life.

So I've been strongly pro-life since 1996, and I've carried that into public office. I've de-funded planned parenthood as Governor, I've been very open about supporting banning abortion after 20 weeks, with exceptions for if the child was conceived by rape, or incest, or if the mothers life was in serious risk.

I did all this in a deeply Democratic state; unlike Governor Romney, who in 2002, when running to be Governor of Massachusetts said he ''preserve and protect a woman's right to choose.'' You know in public life you have to make choices; I was honest to the voters of New Jersey about my views on abortion. Mitt Romney decided to do what Mitt Romney always does; weasel away from the issue.

Frankly, for me, this is an issue where you've got to have a moral backbone. As Governor of New Jersey I fought for the cause of the unborn, and I'm proud of the progress we've made.


Look, I'm a conservative republican from New Jersey. I'm use to taking a bit of flack from the Teaching Unions for being on the far-right, so frankly it's a nice change to have someone question if I'm conservative enough. (chuckles)

But sure, I'm certain that I'm conservative enough. Republican voters, whether they're in Iowa, New Hampshire or Texas want someone who stands up and tells the American people the truth; our spending is out of control, Obamacare is a disaster that we must repeal, and we we need to start getting tough again on American's enemies who want to do us serious harm. A lot of the media folks think that republican voters are looking for politicians who share all there views; they're not. They're looking for someone who has the guts to fight.

In New Jersey I've managed to fight to get serious, real conservative reform done. I've got 700,000 more Democrats than Republicans, but I still managed to pass a balanced budget, without raising taxes. I manged to defeat the big public sector unions to fix the pension system, I defunded planned parenthood and we created 60,000 private sector jobs. That's what real, conservative results look like. If I can do that in one of the bluesiest states, just think what I can do after November when we take back our government.




Governor Romney, it doesn't matter whether you call it shifting, flip flopping, or even clarifying. Frankly there's only one word that matters- trust.

In 2005 you supported Ted Kennedy's immigration bill that would have provided amnesty. Then you opposed it in 2007 when you wanted to win the Iowa Caucasus. Heck in 2008 you said that you wanted to ideally deport most illegal immigrants within 90 days; now you're saying that's a political promise with no weight behind it.

But really it comes down to trust Governor. We've both governed in deeply blue states; in New Jersey I've fought the public unions, I've won real conservative reform on property taxes and pensions. In Massachusetts you sold out to the Democratic establishment on day one. You're going to get chewed alive by Nancy Pelosi, and Harry Reid.

Frankly we need a President who's got the guts to fight.  

Closing Statement

I get asked a lot what I think people want in there next President. And you know what it's simple; they want someone who they know they can trust to fight for them. They don't want someone who can simply reel off a textbook of policies, they don't want someone who says one thing in Iowa, and another in Boston, they don't want another bland, boring candidate promising slow, weak reforms.

I'm the only candidate running who isn't afraid to tell the truth. I don't care whether I'm talking to republicans, or Democrats. To Iowans, or New Yorkers. I'll always say the same thing. I'll tell them that we need to work together again in Washington to cut our run-away entitlement spending, we need to get people back to work by cutting regulations, not by cutting more checks to the special interest groups. 

I've done all this; in fact, I've done all in this in a state that was written off a too democratic, too broke and too divided. I stood up, and fought for real conservative values, and you know what; it worked. Give me the chance to do this in Washington, and join my fight to get this country working again.

With all due respect, Governor Christie, your argument falls flat as soon as it begins.

Governor, do you remember the comments you made about immigration in 2010? Just last year? Well let me remind you. You called upon Barack Obama personally to "put forward a common sense path to citizenship for people." Governor Christie has also said that being in this country illegally isn't a crime, and is willing to give those that are here illegally a free pass. How do we know this? Because in his time as US Attorney in New Jersey, that job that Governor Christie will tell you all about, he only prosecuted thirteen illegal immigration cases. Compare that to the 597 cases prosecuted in Kansas in the same time period -- I'm no mathematician, but there are a heck of a lot more people in New Jersey than Kansas.

Governor you can try to fool the American people by making a mountain out of a molehill with my statements in Nevada, which are wholly consistent with conservative values, but you cannot fool anyone with this.

Governor Christie wants you, the American people, to believe that because he talks louder than the rest of us and "tells it like it is" that he is somehow more qualified to be President of the United States. Governor, I agree with you on one thing, and that is that this is about trust.

Back when I was Governor of Massachusetts and faced a legislature that was 85% Democrat, I sent over 800 vetoes to policies that weren't conservative or right for our state, and believe me, there were a lot. Governor Christie, however, has let Democrats in New Jersey get to him -- he has stated multiple times that he supports the state's ineffective and incredibly strict gun control laws. So Governor, I have to ask, which one of us was supposed to get chewed alive by the Democrats?

Governor Christie, you are a fighter. You're willing to fight anyone you see as a threat with anything that you think can bring them down. I think the American people want something different. I think the American people want someone with the guts to tell the truth. We've been lied to for three years by the Obama administration, and the last thing we need is to be lied to by someone who tells it like it isn't.

Well that's still thirteen more cases than you ever prosecuted Mitt.

You know it's pretty funny to see the Governor attack my record as a U.S Attorney. Because when I was sat in court, putting the terrorists, and arms smugglers behind bars, you were standing next to Ted Kennedy passing RomneyCare.

You know I'm never going to apologize for the fact that for me, and my office as U.S Attorney our number one priority was to combat terrorism. I'm never going to apologize for helping keep the American people safe. Never.

---

Q: Governor, you responded quite forcefully when Governor Romney challenged you over your record prosecuting Immigration laws whilst a U.S Attorney, did Governor Romney manage to rattle you?

Governor Christie: No, Jake, he didn't rattle me. He just disappointed me. Governor Romney for all his virtues has never prosecuted federal law, and frankly at the debate showed that he has no idea what being a prosecutor actually involves. Governor Romney has only ever seen criminal law as a politician; all he cares about is how it looks. When I woke up every morning as a U.S Attorney, I was thinking about who I would put on the stand, Governor Romney was worried about what would be put on the front of the newspapers. We have different priorities.

The truth is that my office, as every other Northeastern U.s Attorney's office was, focused on terrorism after 9/11. Unlike Mitt, I don't make every decision based on the next election. I make it based on what's best for the American public; and that meant devoting the majority of resources to preventing terrorism, as my office did, multiple times.

I don't know what Governor Romney is implying about my record; all I know is that he picked up some numbers of an old Lou Dobbs segment from 2007. If he thinks that I'm somehow relaxed about enforcing immigration law he should ask why I send prosecuted a Chilean immigrant for transporting abusive images or why I prosecuted an immigrant lawyer for falsifying driving licenses for illegals. I worked with ICE, and the FBI almost daily in order to keep New Jersey, and America safe, and frankly I don't appreciate Governor Romney trying to question my service when he standing in an ice-rink in Utah somewhere.

Q.) Do you expect this back and forth will continue with Governor Romney?

Governor Christie: If the Governor continues to manipulate, and distort my record, then I'm going to respond forcefully. The American public are sick of politicians like Governor Romney attacking people for actually putting their neck out on the line every day. Like thousands of other people in the Justice, and National Security departments, when I came into work, the last thing on my mind was how this would play in some distant election. I just got on with the job.

Any decision to reduce our involvement in Iraq is a good one. To call this a "withdrawal," however, is taking the spin from the Obama administration as truth. Let's look into the details on this, folks. We're seeing combat troops leave the region, but in their place, we still have so-called peacekeeping troops on the ground. There are still over 15,000 of our men and women there. We have 5,000 defense contractors in Iraq no matter what. Why would we need these defense contractors if we're not engaging in conflict? It seems to be that President Obama wants to have his cake and eat it too. He wants to be known as the peace president when the hard work has yet to be done to bring peace in Iraq, and that's an absolute shame.

I changed my mind on the Iraq War because of what I saw on the ground there. We had no clear mission. President Bush never gave a deadline for when we would leave. Obama ran on fixing this mess, but he's only engaging in half-measures now. With a President Jones, withdrawal means withdrawal. I would take all of our troops back home and focus on our problems here at home. Think of how much bloodshed happened over this past decade when it could have been avoided. While we can't go back in time, our troops deserve better for the sacrifices they have made every step of the way. Instead of keeping them in the deserts, it's time we gave them new legs, better mental health treatment, and integrating them back into civilian life. That's our God-given responsibility as a nation.


Governors Romney and Christie both say that they've evolved on their opinion of abortion. That's all well and good. Here's where we differ, though: I have always been passionately devoted to the cause of life. In fact, that was the reason why I became a Republican twenty years ago. I grew up in a family of lifelong Democrats, so you can imagine how that might have gone. *laughs* My father grew ill and retired from office after serving in Congress as a Democrat for many years. As he was approaching his deathbed, I came up to him and told him, "I'm going to change my party affiliation." I was strongly concerned by the way that the Democratic Party was heading by that point. I rose my right hand to my Lord and Savior to make my pledge, and my father told me, "I understand that." A month later, he would pass away.

Since then, my convictions have only strengthened. I've made it one of my missions in Congress to protect the unborn however I can. I've introduced legislation to defund Planned Parenthood, limit abortion after 20 weeks, and establish stronger protections for abortion survivors and harsher penalties for those doctors. When you're in a position of power, it's your duty from God to cherish life. If we can't even hold to that standard as a nation, then I fear for the future. We as Republicans should make it clear that this is a top priority for us, and it certainly would be in a Jones administration. I've backed up my words with action and a lifetime of conviction.


Dissatisfied would be putting it mildly. *laughs*

Here is what's going on with the House leadership: They are systematically silencing and punishing conservative voices when we dare to speak out about our firmly held beliefs. In fact, Speaker Boehner even recently kicked me off from my spot in the Armed Services Committee because I voted differently than he would have liked me to on one or two bills. I thought the Republican Party was supposed to be a big tent of ideas. This isn't only happening to me, by the way. It's happening to plenty of my colleagues in the House, like Congressman Amash. When we call the rising debt an immoral beast and refuse to go along with the latest crony spending deal, we're only met with hostility from the leadership.

Here, I'll talk directly to the viewers at home: This goes to show that the Republican establishment doesn't give a damn about you. They'll take your votes for granted and vote to keep business as usual. We can't tolerate this anymore as a nation if we want to see things change for the better. There is so much anger out there, from Occupy on the left to the tea Party on the right, and these folks really agree on more than you may think. They want to see a better future for themselves and their children, and they know the root of the problem lies in Washington D.C. The leadership we have right now is like Medusa, and we must cut its head off to see it fall. We can't tolerate the Washington establishment anymore. That's why I'm running to make a difference.

Response to Congressman Paul:

Congressman Paul, you know we've been good friends for many years, and it's been an absolute pleasure to work alongside you. With that said, we have issues we can respectfully disagree on. I voted for those two lesser stimulus bills because the economy was in desperate need of life at that point, and they would have injected enough demand to start the recovery. We should never forget just how close we were to the entire financial system collapsing and leaving millions of innocent Americans with nothing in the process. I should note that I didn't vote for the $797 million stimulus package pushed by President Obama. You haven't stayed totally true to libertarian principles either, I might add. You are a big proponent of adding earmarks in bills, but I'm opposed to all pork barrel spending.

Closing statement:

Americans are angry. Americans want change. They want leaders they can actually trust, not just puppets for donors. For far too long, we've been used to the status quo, but 2012 is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to turn things around. I'm running for President because I have a record that defies the establishment time and time again. I refuse to play along with the House leadership's games, and while they may try to punish me, I never back down. I vote my conscience 100% of the time and I serve this duty knowing that I am accountable to the Lord at the end of the day. Integrity is what we need more of in Washington, and I would provide that. I'm not backed by big money; I'm running with the support of thousands of small donors. These are people who work regular jobs and wish to support their families. I'm accountable to these people, and I thank everyone out there for their support so far. This campaign is not stopping. It's only just beginning. Thank you, and God bless this country.

Interviewer: What do you make of the rising Occupy Wall Street movement?

Jones: Well, this is fundamentally a very good thing. You may disagree with their ideas or their methods, and I certainly condemn the violence that has happened on some occasions. However, these are ordinary people standing up and demanding more from their government. They see that politicians work for big banks, prop up endless wars, and leave the middle class in debt while they continue to profit. It's a corrupt system to the core, and we need to clean out the people responsible for things like the War in Iraq and our last recession. You know, the Occupy people are really not much different from those who attend Tea Party rallies. Both want more accountability from their leaders.

Interviewer: You definitely sound more sympathetic to the protestors than many of your Republican rivals.

Jones: You could say that. But, like I said, the people who really deserve anger are our leaders who have failed us time and time again. It's no wonder that you're seeing protests everywhere now! Although I'm a Republican, we can't put everyone in neat little boxes. I would like to see the restoration of Glass-Steagal, for example, since banks were left off the hook after massive financial deregulation. We also need to end the policy of "too big to fail." Here's what I'll say to the viewers at home: If you want someone who can bridge the gap between Occupy and the Tea Party, I'm your guy. We need a political revolution in this country to right the ship, and that's what this campaign is about.

Walter Jones Campaign Strategy
-Present candidate as *the* populist choice in the GOP field: uncorrupted, fighting the GOP establishment
-Make strong efforts to attract supporters of Trump and Palin as their candidacies fade
-Differentiate candidate from the 'libertarians' (Paul and Carolla) by highlighting unorthodox positions and pro-military stance
-Strong focus on small campaign contributions, attracting grassroots enthusiasm
-Harness the power of Occupy Wall Street and Tea Party to rally disaffected voters to the Jones campaign
-Trumpet strong pro-life stance through the primary states, particularly in Iowa and South Carolina
-Meet voters one-on-one on the campaign trail and make lasting impressions

October 1-7

Feingold made his first stops in Nevada and Florida, this week, organising his ground effort and meeting with progressive leaders to gain their support. He conducted several major rallies all over the states, in particular delivering a powerful speech on defending Social Security from Republican cuts. He also vowed to start using antitrust laws much more, promising that those at the top would not get away with theft again.

October 8-14

Feingold spent this week in the south, visiting impoverished neighbourhoods and meeting again with local leaders for their support. He met with several local activists as well, attempting to rally their support. In addition to impoverished areas, he also made visits to university campuses all over the south, meeting with several students to recruit them as local volunteers.

October 15-21

Feingold spent this week strategizing, as well as meeting with Senators Sanders and Brown for reasons unknown

October 22-24

Rest days

October 26-31

These days were spent in the industrial states, as Feingold attempted to rally support from unions and industrial workers through his opposition to TPP and additional free trade agreements.

(OOC: my debate answers will be up soon. Very personal tragedy occurred here)

Carolla Campaign update 2

Carolla campaigned in Nevada and in his home of California on reforming Medicare and Social Security

He called out responses to Democrats by saying that he promised not to cut anything and anyone from Medicare and Social Security.

Carolla is expected to be on the Tonight show with David Letterman later this week.

Carolla interview with David Letterman
October 13th 2011
()

Joining me now is a good friend of mine and a candidate for the Republican Party Presidental nomination please it up for Adam Carolla
*Crowd cheers*

Letterman:Now I have seen people saying that you are just running for attention and more fame and that you don’t actually care about the position of power.

Carolla:Oh that’s nonsense. If I was running for attention I would of just dropped out after a month!  I know what I am doing and I believe I can bring a revolution of liberty to this country.

Letterman:Very well. How do you feel with your rise in your polls and your appeal to the rising momvemt of the Tea Party?

Carolla:Well you know I think my policies and my views could appeal to everyone.

Im about to hit back to Nevada and California however I have spent some time down in Iowa and South Carolina and I have said I feel for their cause.  I know what it’s like to be in their shoes you see.

It’s very hard scary and sad but I had hope and promise and you know I feel proud to know that after a childhood where we were lucky to get 50 dollars that I am here and have glee in what I have accomplished.

As for my rise. Well I gotta be honest you know I wanted to rise however I didn’t know it was going to be this far you know? I’m am very excited and anticipate what happens next.

Letterman:One more question.  How do feel about Occupy Wall Street? since in the Democratic debates they asked that but not you guys.

Carolla:Well I understand the cause and yes as President I will fight against Wall Street corruption as president however the way they protest I am against. I would just peaceful stand there you know rather than being all violent and starting a riot.

Oh yeah, it's an interesting little ad. I've faced $3 million dollars in attack ads from the Teachers Unions. As some of you have noticed I'm a big guy, and I can handle these ads.

It's more fiction from Governor Romney. It's complete fiction. If Mitt actually knew anything about New Jersey he'd know that we've done a hell of a lot.

We've passed a balanced budget, twice, without raising taxation. When the Democrats in the Assembly tried to put tax rise's into the Budget you know what I did- I told them, no chance in hell.

Heck if if there hasn't been any action in New Jersey why do you reckon the Teachers Unions are so pissed off at me? You know why they're pissed off; because I took on the unions, and I made them pay their fair share in pension payments. I lead the charge in fixing a pension system that was $121 Billion underfunded. Heck this was a bi-partisan fix we passed in Trenton.

I'd love Mitt to come down to New Jersey, and meet the 60,000 people we've helped get back to work. Come, and meet those folks, and tell them I don't deliver. I've only been a Governor for two years, and I've already done more to take on the status quo, to take on the vested interests, and to fix the real, problems in New Jersey, than Mitt ever did when he was Governor of Massachusetts.

Zoom into a image of unemployment increasing

Under President Obama, the unemployment has increased by a significant margin

Zoom into an image of the National Debt barely going down

As a candidate in 2008, President Obama said he was going to end the National Debt, but the Debt has barely left where it was then.

Zoom into a now Republican controlled Congress

It was because of Obama's failed Presidency that the Republicans took control, halting any legislative capabilities that Congress has to the people.

Under Obama, America hasn't recovered from the 2007 crisis.

Zoom into a headline saying 'Bredesen reasonable with budget'

In Tennessee, however, Governor Bredesen had managed to keep control of the state without a state income and a sales tax.

Show an image of Tennessee prospering under Bredesen

During his Governorship, Bredesen helped the state of Tennessee to thrive without doing the things President Obama has either done or offered to do.

So, America, do you want False Change...

Show a clip of Obama talking about change in 2008 and show the image of Current America

Or real Change?


I'm Phil Bredesen and I endorse this message

(Reporters Voice) A shock victory tonight as Chris Christie, a former U.S Attorney is set to win the the New Jersey Governors race. This is a crashing embarrassment for President Obama, and the Democratic Party.

Senator Clinton, you have just stated that I called you a Liberal. That, Senator, is a lie. I respect you for your service to Arkansas and I respect Bill's service to this country. But I want to ask you, Hillary, what is this plan you keep talking about? How much of the Economy is going to be Green and how much is going to be Fossil Fuels? You have never specified. I have, the folks back home can garruntee this. Senator, you have been Senator for New York for 10 years as of this year. The same year Bill left office, you became Senator. For almost 10 straight years you were first lady of Arkansas. Then you were first lady of the United States. Senator Clinton, it seems that when you first tasted politics, you didn't want to let go. Why, Senator? Why we're you to be so eager to run for a Senate seat in 2000? You had the name recognition so it was obvious you were going to win. You indeed won it by a 12.3% margin. Senator, that race was anything but close and everyone knows it. Senator, it has been 10 years since you were really in a Southern state. 10 years before you were in a state that has been completely hurt by Barrack Obama's Failed policies. I'm sorry, Senator, but you don't speak for us.

You can say that I'm doing the same thing but the difference is that I waited. I traveled the nation. I visited people who were hurting because of Obama. You didn't in 2000. You just don't want to let go of your Power. Senator, you just want Political control. I rest my case.

Senator Hillary Clinton

Show a slowed down clip of Hillary walking.

You were elected in 2000, the same year your husband left the office as President

Show Hillary's Victory in 2000.

Before that, you were First Lady of the United States and First Lady of Arkansas

Show Hillary sitting right next to Bill Clinton as First Lady

Senator, can we, the American people, ask why you instantly for a Senate position so quickly?

Show Hillary smiling about winning in 2000

But I think we all know the answer by now. You want to keep your Political Dynasty that you've built these past few decades from Crumbling

Show Hillary frowning

You didn't give America a reprieve from you.

Show a picture of Hillary opening her eyes wide.

Stop Hillary's Political Dynasty. Vote Bredesen for 2012.



I'm Phil Bredesen and I endorse this Message

Columbia, SC:

You've seen the bickering from Romney and Christie recently, folks. Who's better on abortion? Who's tougher on terrorism? Who has a better track record? Here's what I can tell ya: I don't side with either. As a matter of fact, they're really just two sides of the same coin. They're backed up by the same corrupt Washington establishment and big-money donors that have brought us more debt, more spending, stagnating wages, and endless wars in the Middle East. They won't do a thing to improve your lives because they're not interested in that.

People ask me why I'm running when I haven't been noticed. I can tell you that I sense the momentum at this stage. People are beginning to wake up to my campaign's message that it's time for a real change in Washington. A President Romney or a President Christie will continue to leave Americans behind while enriching their friends. A President Jones will put a stop to that on day one. This campaign is about America First.

Well one solution to this could be in fact retraining these workers to operate renewable energy plants across the nation, whether they're hydroelectric dams, wind farms or biofuel plantations. These workers can be retrained, and it would be done through extensive job retraining programs.

Where we have gone wrong is that we expect these people to just stop working and know instantly what to do. That is not the case. What we can do is gradually phase out fossil fuels, like coal, and retrain miners a few thousand at a time for jobs on the plants. It's not that hard. These people would get paid well and would combat climate change for the future.


Amnesty for all that are here, so beating around the bush. It needs to be done and done now. We also need a path to citizenship for immigrants. We don't need a tougher border security system-we have one of the toughestin the world. We need to ensure that Border Patrol is supplied with advanced equipment to aid in surveying immigrants. Finally, any immigrant who has committed a crime in our country should be deported immediately.

Despite what you hear from our friends on the right, getting rid of immigrants would not be good for the economy. It would drain billions from our GDP. I thought Republicans were supposed to be fiscally responsible. What happened?


Occupy is not a violent movement. They have concerns that have not been addressed. Concerns that myself and my colleagues on the left have tried to warn everyone about for years, and then get told to shut up. Many of the protests have been disrupted by overly enthusiastic police eager to break up protests for the first time. These people should get their concerns addressed without delay, and the only reason I'm being criticised for associating with them shamelessly is because I threaten to upset the apple cart and am reminding Democrats that the progressive vote cannot be taken for granted anymore.

Al Gore made this mistake in 2000. John Kerry made it in 2004. Obama ran as a progressive in 2008 then governed as a moderate. The progressive vote is not a card to be played. They are voters who want their concerns addressed, and I'm being criticised because I'm the only one up here doing that.

Honestly, I think the kids should decide what they learn and how they learn it. Nowadays, there is a great many things one can do now than one could do when our current education system was first established. People continuesly say our education program was created during the industrial revolution and unfortunately, I agree. From Grades 6 and up, Algebra, Geometry, History, Geography, Science, and reading shouldn't be mandatory. It should be a choice. What should be Mandatory is what I consider the real essentials of Life: Personal Finance, How to raise a family, Basic politics (Mainly about the parties and where they stand), basic first aid, mental health. That is the most important thing to learn in school. Not -b+- the square root b squared - 4ac/2a. That is insane. It's absolutely insane. They make kids learn that and other very unnecessary things and people wonder why our work force is shrinking and more kids are depressed. The solution is to make that stuff a choice and teach kids what they will actually need in life.




I said this a while ago in my Announcement Speech but let me specify what I mean by it. I want to bring the Democratic party to a more Centrist platform. I want the party to go across Party Lines and vote on bills that can help America. Bills that can aid our country. Our party is controlled by Mainly progressives and look where that has gotten us. Our party has forgotten it's Centrist roots and that's a major why we are so unpopular as right now. Once our party is Centrist, it won't fix everything, but it'll give Republicans a harder time to Fight with us on bills.




Now first, I want to state this fact: I am not a republican, I'm a Centrist Blue Dog Democrat. For cutting Government spending, it seems what is most unpopular in our party as of right now may actually be helpful for our nation. Yes, I cut State spending in 2003 by 9% while I was governor of Tennessee. I stand by it, however. During the Economic meltdown of 2007, the states suffered but there were a few shining examples. Tennessee was one of them during that time. We didn't just get through it, we prospered and thrived without introducing an Income or a Sales tax. I want to be able to do the same for our Nation. If I can have the same success by cutting Government spending by 5-10%, along with the 20% corporate tax rate and my tax bracket, we can jumpstart the Economy and get it working like it should be because this Economy and more of the same like it being suggested just isn't helpful.


These ideas are not the ideas of a Republican-ite, which I feel some, especially my opponents, may label me as. I am not, however. I'm a Centrist and what that means is I don't want America to go completely to the left or completely to the right. During the 90s, we had a Centrist president and we, as a nation, thrived because of it. America, it's time to try centrism again. Thank you for allowing me to be here, it's been an honor.

November 1st-November 4th: Rallies in Kentucky, West Virginia, Tennessee, Iowa, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Florida, Georgia, Nevada, and South Carolina on Immigration, Taxes, Healthcare, Industry, and Economic reform.

November 5th: Rallies in Arkansas, Kentucky, Virginia, Alabama, and Kansas on Foreign Policy, Trade reform, and Tax reform while an Anti-Establishment Rally in Nashville, Tennessee


Hello Nashville! *Audience Cheers* It's good to be home after a long while. I want to thank all of you for your support for me. We are not done yet and I doubt we ever will be. I have received some pretty interesting information, however. There are those in the Establishment that completely and utterly despise me because of all my stances. Well, Good! *Audience cheers and laughs with Bredesen* This is the Same Political establishment that ruined our Economy. Why should I want their 'love' when I have more than enough from all of my supporters? The answer is I shouldn't. This Campaign, unlike those of the President, Senator Clinton, and Senator Feingold, is completely supported and done by you and for you! Thank you for allowing me to achieve the label of Anti-establishment Candidate, it's a great honor! *Audience Cheers loudly as he leaves, before he stops for a moment, and then walks into the crowd to meet as many people there as possible.*

November 6th-November 10th: Rallies on the previous ideals and the Anti-establishment title in New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Tennessee, North Dakota, Iowa, Alabama, Nebraska, Montana, Indiana, West Virginia, South Dakota, Arkansas, Missouri, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Louisana, Arkansas, Texas, Oklahoma, and Wyoming.

President Barrack Obama

()

You constantly talk about the idea of Alternative Energy and all of it's benefits, despite there being proof that being completely dependent on Alternative Energy doesn't work out.

()

In the process of promoting the false energy, you have forgotten a group that puts everything on Fossil Fuels

()

These people who work in Coal mines and Oil drills day in and day out have only that job to help them feed their families and because of their hard work, we get actual power and a reliable energy source and now you want them out of the job?

()

For Shame, Mr.President. For Shame.

Hello, this is Wolf Blitzler of CNN and we have a special interview with Democratic Candidate for the 2012 election, Former Governor of Tennessee. Phil Bredesen. Thank you for being here, Phil.



It's great to be here, Wolf.




Now, I would like to ask you a handful of questions as I know you have a busy schedule today. 1. Many Democrats think your apology over Libya was 'strange.' Mind telling us why you did it?




Well, Wolf, I thought about the days after the first debate and realized right after Gaddafi's death that my stance was a bit too extreme, so I decided to change it and publicly apologize for it. I prefer Honesty over doubling down and admitting you were wrong for a Candidate than anything else so that's what I did.




2. Recently, there have been a few hundred arrests from the 'Occupy Wall Street' movement. Thoughts on these arrests?



I believe in Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Expression. Those citizens have an absolute right to protest, peacefully and I emphasize protesting peacefully, so they shouldn't be arrested. Those who have been turning protesting into violent rioting should be arrested however as not only are they tainting a good cause, they're causing property Damage and disturbing the peace in a way the peaceful protestors aren't.




3. Recently, People have been calling you an Anti-Establishment candidate and you have accepted that title. Mind telling us why?




Well, Wolf, I have accepted the title because I am not an establishment candidates. I want people to fund me the way Howard Dean's Campaign was funded in 2004. No Super PACs and no mainstream establishment types. I'm a candidate for the people and the Establishment aren't for the people, they're against it. I'm just the angry hammer people are using to shatter the glass of the establishment.




4. You have been found as calling President Obama a liar and have even challenged his idea of Diversity of Religion. Mind telling us why?




Listen, Wolf, the reason why I said that is obvious. In 2008, Barrack Obama campaigned on Change. Back then, we didn't know what his change was but by now we do. And it isn't good. Obama promised a change in Unemployment, there hasn't been one. Obama promised a change in the debt, there hasn't been. Obama promised a change in the economy, yet we're still in a recession. Obama promised things he couldn't do. He has lied and is thus a liar.

For the Religious diversity thing, I don't think a person who practices religion should be forced to do what goes against their religious beliefs. For example, if a Christian bakery doesn't want to serve a Gay couple, then that should be respected. Only if they go violent should these people not be trusted.




But Mr. Bredesen, wouldn't that enable Hate groups such as the Westboro Baptist Church and the KKK?




Wolf, that is a real concern. As much as I despise those people, however, I respect their right to their opinions. As long as they aren't violent about it, I really don't mind them. The moment they're violent, however, I will slam the hammer of the law right down on them. Violent activities is something that indisputable against the law and these people will deserve it if they attack or kill anyone, especially because of their skin color or sexuality




7. During the debate, you said SENATOR Ron Paul. Did you mean Representative Ron Paul and just Misspoke?




Yeah, that was a big mistake on my part. I was caught in the moment and I forgot that Ron Paul was and is still a representative. I think we all have the moment when we mix up words, yes? I do apologize to the mistake and I admit that if I lose a little support in the polls because of it, I won't mind it because I knew I made a gaffe.




8. When you talk about a partial repeal of Obamacare or the Affordable Care Act, what do you mean?




Well Wolf, I have stated that it needs some work. One large National healthcare company can't really work out and it shows as premium's are predicted to be almost completely unaffordable by 2018. The Supreme Court is looking at the Constitutionality of it, as we all know. I want to partially repeal by splitting it into 50 different brands and those brands split into multiple companies for every state. The more the competition, the better the Healthcare.




9. You are calling yourself as a Blue Dog Centrist Bill Clinton-style Democrat. There are those in the progressive wing of the party who claims they are out of touch with the average democrat. Mind putting your thoughts in?




From 1993-2001, our nation boomed and expanded rapidly, we actually got laws passed with a Republican congress and Democrat Congress. We had a $5.6 Trillion surplus and our Economy was doing amazingly well. That was under Centrist Bill Clinton as President. I want to do the same thing. The American people have shown their disdain for the Progressives who claim they stand for the entire party and America in 2010. They aren't the group to lead. I will, as a centrist, allow laws to be passed even with a Republican congress because I can work across party lines and get the job done. The progressives can't. That's a fact, Wolf.




Thanks for being here, Phil. That was all.




Thank you, Wolf. It was an honor being here too.

Carolla Debate answers
1.Mr. Carolla, one of the main points of what is considered to be Libertarianism is the view of a small government, often a dramatically small one. Just how small or how large do you think government should be?

Carolla:The way the founding fathers wanted it to be. defense, military, the courts and the police.
I said this before and I will say it again. I want a government so small I can barley see it.  If the founding fathers of this great country saw how big the size it is now and how many taxes there are they would be rolling in there graves!!!  We had a revolution over this sort of issues!

I’m asking to make things very simple. Obey the constitution,Limit the size of government,be concerned of the accumulation of power no matter what party is in charge and balence the budget.  

Don’t regulate this country to death and make us competitive worldwide by reducing our corporate tax rate.  We have the highest cooperate income tax in all of the planet. So we gotta reasses who we are as people.

We spend and tax this country so much a government shutdown in the future is likely!

And to me it’s very simple! Let’s be for liberty and let’s be for a constitutional reform of our size of the government and balence our budget every year and in that cause I am going to fight for you and I hope you are there with me.

We gotta unleash the Amercian dream and like my campaign motto says let’s defeat the Washington machine!!


 

Carolla debate answers part 2

2.- As unemployment remains close to 10 the issue of unions continues to gain relevance in domestic politics. The question is, where do you personally stand on unions, and do you support the idea of right-to-work laws?

Carolla:Well I support right to work I think it’s it will help out Labor Unions and Unions in general.  Look I feel your pain also coming from a poor family.  I’ve talked to these people in Nevada and Iowa where I campaigning on reforming NAFTA and so called free trade.  I would love to see as President voluntary unions that are not restricted from big business telling them what to do.  I would love to see those people and their groups be freely to do whatever they want and prevent them from monopolies created by the government in the first place. And as President I will stop government controlled monopolies from getting into those unions and creating disasters.

As President I will put working families first over corporations!!

Now as for more on Right to Work here’s why I think it’s is good for our country.

The idea that Working Americans should be forced pay dues to a labor unions is just well plain Un Amercian. This act will remove from these provisions which gives union officials the power to corral workers and their money under union monopoly control. As President I will not add any restrictions to any existing law. Rather I will remove from labor law those provisions which give union officials control over Amercian workers who must either comply with the union bosses demands or else they will be fired.

So that is why I think Right to work is good for Amercian union and labor unions.

Carolla campaign answers part 3
3.Iran is now at the front of the newspapers after the UN expressed misigivings about the Iranian nuclear program, warning of the potential for Iran to obtain nuclear weapons. Should Iran be allowed to develop them, and what will you do as President on this issue?

Carolla:Well as President I promise not to declare war on anyone unless they have are seen as a actually threat and unless it is constitutionally apporirate.

If Iran develops weapons of mass destruction I will send in peacekeepers from that happening and I will make with war Iran a last resort. Think about the Cold War and how we were on the brink of nuclear destruction we were able to instead of decorating a boots on the ground War we where about to peaceful tell them to don’t do it don’t nuke us into a million pieces. 

So if it perfectly worked with Soviets and the Chinese back in the day I think it could perfectly work with Iran today

I personally believe I am find a peaceful way to stop this program and unlike in Iraq I will not lie about false WMDs in Iran

However I feel like this current administration is weaking our relations with Iran is making them want to create such a weapon of destruction and I don’t that to happen.

I will be a strong commander in chief and have both of my eyes wide open with my Milltary to keep a eye on this and watch to see if they would ever try to put this off.

November 1 to November 4: Senator Clinton continues her campaign visit to Florida. With Senator Bill Nelson, she holds a rally at Lockhart Stadium in Fort Lauderdale to discuss her plan for economic recovery, pleding to "actually deliver the economic recovery that" President Obama promised.

While still in Florida, she meets with retirees in Orlando and recent immigrants in Miami. Senator Nelson joins her as often as his schedule allows.

November 5 to November 7: Senator Clinton takes a train from Florida to Georgia. She holds a breakfast meet-and-greet in Macon with local Democratic Party volunteers. Then the Senator drives to Atlanta for a sit-down interview at CNN headquarters with Wolf Blitzer before giving a major speech on foreign policy at the historic Fox Theater.

Clinton labels her foreign policy as "strong, active, and involved." She calls for the strengthening of America's international alliances, the rebuilding of "confidence in American exceptionalism", and pursuing "a global solution to the global problem" of terrorism. Turning to recent issues, she condemned the attack on the British Embassy in Iran and called on Iran to "ends it nuclear program once and for all", leaving the conversation open as to what the punishment for Iran might be.

November 8 to November 10: Senator Clinton flies from Georgia to Virginia. In Virginia, she holds a press conference with Virginia Senator Mark Warner to accept Senator Warner's endorsement.

"Detroit, It's great to be here, in the World's Automotive Capital...except, it really isn't that anymore, isn't it?" *crowd remains in silent sadness with Bredesen for a few seconds* "I feel as if we truly lost something here. Years ago, this city was the icon of what hard work and Economic Progress does to a city. Now however, all your steel that was the lifeblood of this city is either closed down or in China or another country. Your jobs here are non-existent anymore, meaning it's hard for you to make a living. I can only imagine how hard that is. Who's policy, may I ask, led to that whoever? Not just Bush. Who promised change but only lied about it? That's right, President Obama. I have economic policies that will bring Jobs back! They are gone because of the high taxes, I will lower Taxes. They are gone because of our 28% Corporate Tax Rate, I promise to Lower the Corporate Tax Rate to 20%. Vote for me and You will get back everything you lost under Bush and Obama! *Bredesen leaves after thanking crowd and walks into them while shaking their hands*

November 19th-November 20th: Hosts rallies and Fundraisers in Michigan, West Virginia, Tennessee, Florida, and Kentucky on the same issues he talked about in the previous few days of November.

Hillary Clinton Debate
November 2011 Debate




Clinton: I believe that every child is entitled to a good education, regardless of their skin color or economic status. We need to start our public education at a younger age. Studies have found that students who attend a prekindergarten program are better developed socially, have an easier time grasping new concepts, and generally perform better on later standardized tests. We need to increase funding to Head Start, to make sure that some children aren't going into kindergarten inherently disadvantaged. Once we get kids into K-12 schools, we need to make sure they have good teachers. We need to increase subsidies to grad school students becoming teachers and we need to continue the policy of forgiving student loan debt to teachers who work in our hardest school districts. It's also important that we make sure every child has access to computer science education, because that's where the future of our economy is. It's going to be expensive, but this is the commitment we have to make as a society to our future.

With regards to higher education, I've spoken on this before many times. We need to increase loan forgiveness programs for public sector employees, like police officers and firefighters, to incentivize students to go into these critical fields. We need to go after predatory loan companies that take advantage of students and trap them in cycles of debt. For-profit schools are also at fault for the higher education crisis in this country, because men like Donald Trump and his "Trump University" are interested in increasing their bottomlines, rather than increasing the level of knowledge of the students. For-profit universities exist to make money, not to education students, and they often lure prospective students in with exhaustive aid packages that are mostly made of loans with astronomical interest rates. Tackling for-profit schools and increasing access to non-profit and state-run colleges and universities will put so many more young adults on better, safer, and more strudy paths into adulthood.


Clinton: I'm going to unite the Democratic Party through my campaign. I've presented, and will continue to present, the strongest vision of the United States. My plan will increase jobs, raise wages, promote a safe military, and increase confidence in our country. I'm not going to pander to the Democratic Party in order to secure their support; I'm going to present a hopeful and constructive plan for America and the Democratic Party can get in line, or they can vote for the Republican nominee. My campaign is about winning over the majority of Americans with the best proposal for our country, not about winning over the majority of Democrats with the most concessionary propsal, and I'm not going to change my message and beliefs to suit them.


Clinton: First off, my family and I haven't really lived in one state for a long time. I was raised in Illinois, Bill and I moved to Arkansas and then to Washington, and we've been in New York since 1999. New York is a cosmopolitan, international state. It's built by people of all different backgrounds. I chose to run for the Senate in New York in 2000 because of that reason, because its a state of bold ideas and even bolder people. By 2000, we hadn't really lived in Arkansas for eight years, nine years if you count the year on the campaign trail. If D.C. had a Senator, maybe I would have run there. But D.C. lacks a voice in the Senate, or any voting representation in Congress despite having to pay federal taxes, and I turned to New York. New Yorkers accepted me with open arms in 2000, they did it again in 2006, and they'd do it again in 2012 if I were running again. This isn't a political issue anymore, it's been settled by the people of New York several times. What is an issue, and what no one's talking about, is dealing with the issue of representation for the people of the District of Columbia.


Clinton: In his closing statement, Governor Breseden said something that I found interesting. He said in 1990s, we had a centrist President and America thrived under that President. What Governor Breseden left out there, I think you'll all remember, is that that centrist President is the guy I'm married to! Maybe Governor Breseden forgot, or he just didn't want to give my family any credit. Folks, I wasn't hiding in the East Wing while my husband was in office. I had an office in the West Wing, I played a key role in vetting nominees, and I crafted and advocate for several policy positions, including healthcare. When he was running in 1992, my husband's campaign promised "two for the price of one." Well, think back to the 1990s. Think about the prosperity we had. Think about the security we had. If you liked the 1990s while my husband was in office, you're going to love the 2010s if I'm in office.

Hillary Clinton Interview
November 2011


...

Blitzer: Welcome to The Situation Room, I'm Wolf Blitzer. Joining me in an exclusive interview is Senator Hillary Clinton, who has been leading an aggressive campaign against President Obama for the Democratic nomination and has just taken the lead in the critical states of New Hampshire and Florida. Senator, welcome.

Clinton: Thank you, Wolf.

Blitzer: Senator, Governor Breseden just launched an attack ad against you. Let's watch it now.

- Ad airs -

Clinton: Oh boy, here we go again.

Blitzer: Any response?

Clinton: Vince Foster was a friend of mine, and a friend of my husband. He was a good worker in the White House and a very nice guy. We were so, so distraut when we learned about his death. There were three investigations into Vince's death: one by Robert Fiske, one by the Senate Banking Committee, and one by Ken Starr, no friend of my husband or our administration. All three investigations found that there was no basis for a homicide charge and confirmed what we all knew: Vince had been battling suicide and took his life. To stir up this mud from 1993 is disturbing and deeply upsetting.

Blitzer: What do you think this ad, which Governor Breseden himself put his name on, says about Governor Breseden and his campagin?

Clinton: I'll leave that commentary up to the American people, but this is certainly not the kind of discourse that a potential President of the United States should be engaging.

Blitzer: I'll have more of my exclusive interview with Senator Hillary Clinton coming up after this.

...

BREDESEN: It's great to be here, Rachel.


BREDESEN: Well, Rachel, I think everything is too much of a coincidence for the Clinton's not to know what happened. First, the suicide weapon, a .38 Caliber Revolver that dated back to 1913. That gun was the weapon a Marine officer apparently used to commit suicide in the movie A Few Good Men, which Vince Recently watched.

Second, in 1999, a man known as David Brock  wrote an article detailing a meeting with Rex Armistead to discuss a 'Foster Death scenario'

Third, the police were investigating the suicide scene where the police cheif stated there was no exit wound on Foster. Strange, since suicide by gun usually leaves a exit wound.

Fourth, Patrick Matrisciana, president of Citizens for Honest Government at the time, attempted to interview two people who were inside the Government. Those two people went by plans and before they could arrive their planes crashed. A bit off topic, I admit, but These two men died in very coincedental ways.

Finally, a good friend of theirs, Jim McDougall, who was in prison for Fraud at the time, stated that before Foster's alleged suicide, Hillary bullied him non-stop about Whitewater. He finally died after Hillary humiliated him in a white house meeting.

Foster knew a great many things about the Clinton's. He was defending them after all. Maddow, I would just like the FBI to open up this case one last time, with new modern technology. I want it to be completely independent attorneys. If they don't find anything new, then I apologise to you for this Mrs. Clinton, I just wanted to make sure that there was nothing actually serious happening here.


BREDESEN: Rachel, I actually have a flash drive of several very insensitive things has said in the past. First, in 1996, she called young 'African American youth super predators'. Let's watch.

https://youtu.be/j0uCrA7ePno




BREDESEN: I think it's because most people forgot about it and never looked it up again. Still, something like this needs to be discussed Mrs. Clinton. You have yet to speak of it and so far, you only have Bill speaking about it.



Also, please remember that she was a member of the Water gate investigation and that wanted Nixon to continue being President so another Democrat to be Elected president. If you ask me, that's attempting to Manipulate our Democracy for Political gain. Something like that is highly unethical of a Senator or a President so please Senator Clinton, explain what happened.

Finally, we have multiple reports that Clinton brought multiple aides to tears throughout Bill's Presidency. That is not becoming of any leader that I know of. I apologise to Senator Clinton if these accusations hit too close to home but I honestly don't feel you are the right candidate for President until you get your act together. You said as your closing statement that you were still a Centrist. I highly doubt that. Your a moderate but not a Centrist now.






BREDESEN: Yes, that's true, I wanted to also talk about Policy. Mainly Education and Fossil Fuels.



BREDESEN: For Education, I think it's time that Kids take control of what they learn and how they learn it. Another thing is to get rid of Standardized testing. The Creator of them, Frederick J. Kelly, famously said "These tests are too crude to be used and should be abandoned. For too long, Politicians and Congressional officials have controlled how education works. I think it's now time to take that power away from them and instead give it back to the kids and the teachers.



For Fossil Fuels, I argue that we should rely on them for long enough that people can still make a living from working in them. What Obama is doing is suggesting a total job change which would lead to multiple people losing their livelihoods. That can't happen, Rachel. I'm determined to stop it myself.

Carolla campaigns in Florida on NASA next to Kennedy Space Center
()

One of my earliest memories ever was in 1969 watching with my family the moon landing and Neil Armstrong setting foot on the moon and being amazed with that imagination on what we have accomplished and how really how far we our advantage was against the Soviets.

However in the recent years President Obama has cut NASA spending so that he can have enough troops to go to war with and unfortunately had decided to end spending and the program all together for

However as president I will bring new light into NASA and new hope into the program of manned missions

As President I will rebuild NASA’s manned program and work on history in the  American aerospace industry with getting the first man on Mars by the 2030s and bring back the Moon program where we shall complete the dream to built moon colonies and explore life beyond this blue dot.

*Crowd cheers*

Hillary Clinton Interview
November 2011


...

Blitzer: I'm back with Senator Hillary Clinton. Senator, let's turn to policy for a moment but then I have more from Governor Breseden, who's just finished speaking on another network, that I want to get your take. Senator, in the most recent Democratic Presidential debate, you brought up the issue of D.C. Statehood, saying you would run for the Senate in 2000 in Washington if it had representation. Is D.C. Statehood a fight worth having?

Clinton: Is ensuring that 693,000 American citizens have representation in their government a fight worth having? Yes, I think it is. We fought a revolution in this country, at least in part, based on the idea of no taxation without representation. Well, for more than half-a-million people living in D.C., they're paying taxes without representation, without a voting representative in either House of Congress.

Blitzer: Why now? What makes 2012 - 2011, excuse me - the year to take up this issue?

Clinton: It's not a new position, or a new fight. My husband and I endorsed the movement in 1993, during our first year in office. This has been issue that I'd like to talk about, and I've been trying to talk about for years, but it's hard to talk about an issue if reporters don't ask about it.

Blitzer: Let's return to Governor Breseden. He's just wrapped up speaking to MSNBC's Rachel Maddow. In his interview, he brings up remarks you made in 1996 regarding "superpredators", alleging you used the term to describe African American youth. Let's watch the tape.

- Tape (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0uCrA7ePno&feature=youtu.be) plays -

Blitzer: Can you explain that remark?

Clinton: Well Wolf, this isn't really news. I've addressed this event many times during my career. To clarify, I never - never - say that African American youth are superpredators. What I said, if you actually listen to the tape, is that the United States needed to take a hard-line approach to street gangs, drug cartels, and violent crime, the kinds of people that may be called superpredators. I was not calling African American youth superpredators, I was using a term that other people had used to described violent criminals, people with a lack of emotional understanding and sympathy. I then also went on to say that we needed to try to heal these criminals, to bring them back in touch with their humanity. While I didn't use the term as Governor Breseden seems to suggest, I can understand why someone may be upset about the term and I do apologize for that.

Blitzer: Governor Breseden also brings up your time on the Watergate investigation and your relationships with various White House staffers during your husband's administration. Senator, do you want to comment on those allegtions before our time is up?

Clinton: I can't spend my time responding to every conspiracy theory that's put out there. I'm running for President on a platform built around bold ideas and strong action, I wish we could have had more time to talk about that platform.

Blitzer: Senator, thank you.

Hillary Clinton Press Release
November 2011


In 1993, Deputy White House Counsel Vince Foster killed himself in Virginia. It was a tragic time for all who knew Vince, including then-President Bill Clinton and the First Lady, Hillary Clinton. Vince had been under significant stress in the White House Counsel's Office and, as many people had noticed, was battling with depression. Over the years, six investigations into Vince's death were held, with the biggest three being by White House Special Counsel Robert Fiske, the Senate Banking Committee, and White House independent Counsel Kenneth Starr. All six investigations came to the same conclusion: Vince ended his own life. None of these investigations, no matter how conclusive, have failed to dissuade conspiracy theorists, first in right-wing tabloid magazines, then online chat rooms, and now, it seems, Governor Phil Bredesen. To continue to dig up the tragic suicide of Vince Foster is disappointing and disheartening. To continue to attempt to blame Senator Clinton or former President Clinton for Vince Foster's death is sickening. Senator Clinton calls on Governor Bredesen to retract his remarks and issue an apology to both herself and her husband, as well as the family of Vince Foster.

Governor Bredesen's controversial remarks, however, do not end with his allegations about the death of Vince Foster. In an interview with Rachel Maddow of MSNBC, Governor Bredesen brought up what he claims to be a shocking, secret video of then-First Lady Clinton calling "African American youth superpredators". This video, despite Governor Bredesen's claim, is not a secret that has been hidden in a vault for many years. It was on CSPAN in 1996, and Senator Clinton has responded to it many times. If you actually listen to then-First Lady Clinton's remarks, what she said was:


In no way, did then-First Lady Clinton call African American youth "superpredators" as Governor Bredesen claims. She was laying out an anti-crime platform for the second term of her husband and used the term "superpredator" in reference to violent criminals who lack conscience and empathy. It is Governor Bredesen who applies this term to African American youth, not Senator Clinton. Senator Clinton does, however, recognize the term may cause displeasure and upset people. For that, she apologizes and calls on Governor Bredesen to do the same.

Governor Bredesen continued to present controversial conspiracy theories about Senator Clinton in his interview with Rachel Maddow. Among these other conspiracy theories that Governor Bredesen pushed is that idea that Senator Clinton, as a young assistant counsel in the Watergate investigation, obstructed justice to keep President Nixon in office in order to advance the goals of the Democratic Party. It was Senator Clinton that did much of the research for the investigation into the history of impeachments and the historical basis for pursuing such actions against President Nixon. There is nothing further from the truth than what Governor Bredesen is claiming. Senator Clinton calls on Governor Bredesen to retract his claim and issue an apology to Senator Clinton.

Governor Bredesen, on top of making ugly remarks about the suicide of a friend of President and Senator Clinton, on top of making allegations that Senator Clinton is racist, on top of claiming that Senator Clinton obstructed justice in the Watergate investigation, attacked Senator Clinton for her relationship with White House staff during her husband's presidency. This attack is baseless. Many people who worked with then-First Lady Clinton in the White House have followed her through her career afterwards, working with her in the Senate, on her 2008 campaign for President, and on her current campaign for President. Senator Clinton has always had a strong relationship with the people working around her and continues to have such relationships. Senator Clinton calls on Governor Bredesen to apologize for making such a baseless claim.

This is the final comment from the Clinton Campaign on these claims from Governor Bredesen. Senator Clinton is focused on running a campaign to secure equal pay for female employees, increasing the number of well-paying jobs and turning the economy around, and promoting a more secure nation. Governor Bredesen appears to be running a campaign based on peddling conspiracy theories from the deepest corners of the internet. These are the kinds of comments Senator Clinton would expect from Breitbart and Steve Bannon, not from a candidate for the President of the United States and a former Governor. Senator Clinton believes the American people are smart enough to recognize this themsevles.

Recently, our Candidate, former governor Phil Bredesen have made several comments on Senator Hillary Clinton and several conspiracies following her around. What she does not know is that Mr. Bredesen feel as if he is dirtying the name of himself and Senator Clinton by bringing out this old news. The reason Mr. Bredesen had done this was because several advisors of his, who have been revealed to have been agents of Steve Bannon of Breitbart to ruin Mr. Bredesen and Senator Clinton's credibility, wrote several scripts for him on the Conspiracies (most of which have been torn to shreds by Mr. Bredesen himself, by now). Promptly, after the interview with Rachel Maddow, Mr. Bredesen stated that he felt as if he just badmouthed half the country and the day after interrogated the advisors and one of them cracked under the pressure of the interrogation, spilling out everything. They were fired minutes later. In a message of Goodwill to Mrs. Clinton, he will retract all statements on Senator Clinton's conspiracies and would to offer Her, Bill, and the rest of their family to attend Christmas with his family as a form of apology for her.

Again, Mr. Bredesen is not a conspiracy theorist and thus he would like to retract several statements he had made. It take an honest man to admit when he was wrong and why. We implore Senator Clinton to forgive him and instead put all blame on Steve Bannon, as he was the one who brought the agents into Mr. Bredesen's campaign that started this whole nonsense.

As of right now, Mr. Bredesen is currently feeling sorrowful and won't campaign for the entire day in order to allow all of this to simmer down. Also, Senator Clinton, please don't put him at fault entirely. He and his wife were very reluctant in doing this but the rest of the campaign (some of us more reluctantly than others) pressured him into doing it. Thank you. Mr. Bredesen will be back on the Campaign Trail on November 23rd.

1.- Iran is now at the front of the newspapers after the UN expressed misigivings about the Iranian nuclear program, warning of the potential for Iran to obtain nuclear weapons. Should Iran be allowed to develop them, and what will you do as President on this issue?

No, Iran is a terrorist state in the middle east, I will not attack them unless they are believed to be developing Nuclear Weapons for the use against Israel or another ally in the middle east. I will also not support Saudi Arabia if they continue with the constant and utter disrespect for the rights of women inside their country. Human Rights belong to all people not just those within our own border, and I will make the same decision with Iran we don't want them having Nukes and attacking Israel they are the Axis of Evil.  

2.- As unemployment remains close to 10 the issue of unions continues to gain relevance in domestic politics. The question is, where do you personally stand on unions, and do you support the idea of right-to-work laws?


Unions, are not a fundamental good, or bad. We need to let the free market it take it's course and I don't think laws like Right to Work or Taft-Hartley are the answer to the free markets problems, but I think we need to work towards a future, I dont think we should break the people that built the American middle class. Unions helped build my home state and our country, Caesar Chavez is one of my heros and he helped build hispanic farmworkers and other migrant workers, into a force to be feared they did not settle things with violence, or intimidation but with cooperation. Why can't we Republicans and Democrats come together and repeal Taft-Hartley.


Congressman, given your stances on issues such as gun control, health care, abortion and same-sex marriage several have doubted why you should be running as a Republican. What would you say makes you a Republican?



I don't want to be a Democrat because I believe in less Government and I don't think we should raise taxes. I think we should abolish corporate tax rate so we can bring jobs back to America I also believe we should not let the Government tell us what to do with our money, I want to lower the top bracket of taxes to 25%. Then I think we should move onto a negative income tax, which I know will help allevate the Government burden for the tax payer. People can take jobs with a negative income tax and not lose their benefits this will let us lower the tax payers burden.





Closing Statement



I am sorry that I may not seem like a regular Republican, but Im not I dont like everyone else on this stage, I dont like Republicans or Democrats Bushes and Clintons Romneys and Obamas. These Parties dont work, but I think we can change this if we fight for change and we will fight for a better America! God Bless you all and God Bless America.
