Sen. Michael Bennet (D-CO) on Government Shutdown (C-SPAN)


WATCH IT ALL. PLEASE.

I'm not a "toe the party line guy". I consider myself a reasonable man. Michael Bennet, to me, seems like a very reasonable man. Don't agree with him on everything, but he's earned my respect anyway.

ETA: I guess we can't even acknowledge a good point anymore. I didn't and wouldn't vote for the guy, but when you make blanket statement that everything a Democrat says is wrong you're undermining your own ability to be effective in  a debate.

ETA #2: Just watched Ted's rebuttal... he did a great job addressing Bennet's points.

I'm not a fan of big government, but I don't see how you can deny that the world was a much worse place before the United States Federal Government hit the scene.

government = inherently evil but necessary

How do we keep its evil in check? The founders gave us the answer, very small government and very limited central government. Fuck all the democrats and some republicans for pushing us into this socialist control freak nightmare we have now.

I'm sorry, what in that rant did you find to be reasonable and how did he earn your respect?    How did any of that torch Cruz?   I ask not just as a person who watched the speech, in its entirety, I did, but as a person who understands how our government functions and having watched our government operate for many decades.

Or do you actually believe the lies he is peddling?

Yeah... nothing like them saving us from Mexico with a taxpayer funded wall that we were promised we wouldn't have to pay for.

No. Not at all. What you're doing there is a logical fallacy - it's called an appeal to extremes. I explicitly said I'm no fan of big government, but I think the world is better off with a big US government than none at all.

He said NOTHING about the State and local governments.

Where is their responsibility in all of this?!   Why even have state and local governments and state militias (the National Guard) if they are so useless and ineffectual?

How about the rest of the bullshit and LIES in that speech of his?

Why do you take what he says at face value without actually checking what he says?

He addressed and acknowledged the corruption in or government to his colleagues faces

Listen, he cited a fair amount of information in the video. I don't have the time or desire to address everything he said.

Is our government perfect? not even fucking close. Is it still he best one in the world? I think so.

OP, I like to sit my teenagers down frequently and describe the lies of the left.  We watch Jordan Peterson sometimes, sometimes Judge Nap, Horowitz (SP?) or about anyone.  We talk about the fallacies of reason and logic that is displayed by the left and how to understand how wrong and misguided they are.

This statement will be this weeks talking point.  It's so utterly absurd and yet commonly 'understood' that my kids will soon be better versed than you in reality.

Thanks for that.

That shutdown was the result and responsibility of the Obama admin as much or more as the republicans. We just had the media crucifying the Rs. Then he goes on to lament the evils of eminent domain, while not only is that something the Ds are happy to use when the opportunity arises, a "medieval wall" as he puts it, would actually make those on the border safer, and have less chance of getting shot, or  finding delightful things like drug laden corpses on their property, like an arfcommer here has. I didnt bother watching much after that.

13 somewhere else, 13er. The right is inundated with the stupid bullshit of the left everywhere, its practically ubiquitous. I used to buy into it myself when I was younger and dumber. There are no mysterious depths to their political philosophy, its a quasi religion based on emotion and masturbation so they can feel good about themselves...  and also to get in more voters. Boy, I bet that eminent domain wouldn't  be a problem if those illegals voted R.

Please, enlighten me.

Before our government came to be as it is today the world had much higher disease mortality rates, extremely high rates of slavery, shorter life spans, more starvation...

Because of our dominance the world has prospered for centuries relative to the past.
