John McCain: Town Hall Meeting 07/18/08

2008-08-16T05:51:08Z

John McCain
Town Hall Meeting
Warren, MI 07/18/08

TRANSCRIPT:
AUDIENCE MEMBER: "After 9/11, the United States and the economy took a tragic fall. [...] The American automotive industry was the first to stand up and do something for our country. We provided rebates to get the economy going again. And since then, we've continued giving rebates and giving our products away for next to nothing to a point that our companies are now on a very uneven path and our future is uncertain. I understand technology will advance us, but when is the government going to stick up for the people that first stepped up to put this country back on track after 9/11?"
JOHN MCCAIN: "Well first of all as I have said I would support tax credits for Americans who choose to buy the Volt and other, and other automobiles that put us on the path to energy independence. I believe that the Federal government should invest in pure research and development. I think as you know one of the hurdles to development of any electric automobile is of course the battery issue. [...] I'd be glad and would strongly support pure research and development in the development of this battery with greater capacity, less weight, and is more disposable. So, there are many ways that I would be glad to support this industry.

"But at the end of the day, there are problems, some of which have been addressed, between labor and management. I have to give you some straight talk. You can't compete with other automobile manufacturers if you lay somebody off and pay them full salary for the rest of their life. Can't do it. It's not going to be competitive. So, I will do everything that I can to support this industry."

Give Me YouTube or Give Me Death....

2008-09-05T07:01:31Z

Thanks for viewing and post comments at the bottom.

This is ridiculous!

This is the reasons why you're Senators and Representatives are a bunch of lying scumbags. They spend our taxpayer dollars to censor the freedom of speech and expression in the name of their fears!

This is in a good sense to respond to Senator Joseph I. Lieberman (I-Connecticut).

Joe Lieberman has been on a virtual warpath with the music, television, video gaming and Internet industry. Being one of the founding members of the Parental Advisory Committee, Lieberman along with Jack Thompson, Tipper Gore, Dan Quayle, Bill Bennett and C. Delores Tucker have advocated their "values" on our music, television, video games, and Internet.

The senator has written a letter to the founders and technical staff at YouTube, LLC, a division of GOOGLE, Incorporated. Lieberman is in the panic mode about how a global internet networking site advocating vile propaganda! And believe me, he's won't rest until he gets what he wants.

He is upset that there's al-Qaeda and terrorist videos posted here on YouTube. Although, I do not advocate terrorism, I believe that these videos provide background into why they have a beef with the United States and Western culture in general.

As with many on the conservative right, this man is no different. You see, the people of Connecticut re-elected him in 2006, after his defeat in the Democratic primary. Lieberman ran as an "Independent" and won a strong margin of victory. Those who support him are those who are truly the so-called "values" voters.

This is a response to him. Yeah, I am aware; Senator Lieberman endorses Presidential Candidate Senator John McCain (R-Arizona)!

Food Matters Official Trailer

2008-09-08T04:20:20Z

http://www.foodmatters.tv

"Let thy Food be thy Medicine and thy Medicine be thy Food." -- Hippocrates

That's the message from the founding father of modern medicine echoed in the controversial new documentary film 'Food Matters' from first-
time Producer-Directors James Colqhuoun and Laurentine ten Bosch.

"With nutritionally-depleted foods, chemical additives and ourtendency to rely upon pharmaceutical drugs to treat what's wrong with
our malnourished bodies, it's no wonder that modern society is getting sicker. 'Food Matters' sets about uncovering the trillion dollar
worldwide "Sickness Industry" and giving people some scientifically verifiable solutions for curing disease naturally." - James

And in what promises to be the most contentious idea put forward, the filmmakers have interviewed several world leaders in nutrition and natural healing who claim that not only are we harming our bodies with improper nutrition, but that the right kind of foods, supplements and detoxification can be used to treat chronic illnesses as fatal as terminally diagnosed cancer.

'Food Matters' is to be launched globally via the internet using full screen video technology.

The film's official website can be found at www.foodmatters.tv

The Real and The Reality of Documentary Film with filmmaker Bill Guttentag.

The popularity of documentary films has exploded in recent years, resulting in a constant flow of narratives based on true events and real people. In a world where many would rather watch than read, the veracity of these films is often unquestioned. Should it be? Do these films manipulate reality? What are the responsibilities of the filmmaker? Guttentag tackles these and many other questions - The Commonwealth Club of California

Bill Guttentag, a two-time Oscar-winning filmmaker, wrote and directed Live!, a dramatic feature starring Eva Mendes, Andre Braugher, and David Krumholtz. The film was produced by Chuck Roven/Mosaic Media Group and distributed by The Weinstein Company. He also wrote and directed Nanking, a documentary which premiered at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival. The film includes a stage reading he wrote that features Woody Harrelson, Mariel Hemingway, and Jurgen Prochnow. Nanking was released theatrically this winter by THINKFilm and will air later in the year on HBO.

In 2003 Bill Guttentag won an Oscar for the documentary Twin Towers (Universal). It was his second Academy Award; the first was for You Don't Have to Die, a film he made for HBO.
