I still like 'pants on the ground' as a rally cry.

Thanks for the warning.
“Rent is to damn high” a rallying cry for the tea party?!? I seriously doubt it, and really hope not. This is a slogan of socialists that want the government to go in and impose rent control. The rent charged by a landlord is based on supply and demand and is no business of anybody but the landlord and tenant. I you have a problem with your rent. Move.
Rent control is not freedom.
Now Sean is trying to trick him into agreeing to the Marxist, from each according to his ability, to each according to his need.
Yea, commercial real estate and property taxes tend to disappear when the government owns everything, which is what this idiot would like to see.
THAT, sir, is not a position of the 'right'.

Nostrand Blvd is a drug bazaar where merchants accept food stamps for payment.
Rents not the only thing that's too damn high on Nostrand so are the majority of resident on the suckas dime.
Tying Jimmy to the tea party isn't a very good idea, considering his earlier outbursts about "Jewish landlords" and his general strangeness.
Don’t wrap yourself around him too soon. Try doing what “Red Eye” did and Google Jimmy McMillan and Jews. Apparently he thinks the Jews were behind 9/11.
I thought the exact same thing. He’s the “Pants on the Ground” guy for the NY Governor’s race.

See #27.
If the rent is too damn high he should build an apartment building and take advantage of the situation. It’s a dumb slogan.
Have you had enough input to rethink your comparison or, like the liberals, do you think that the folks that have disagreed with you are just too stupid to understand the point you’ve tried to make? The way you so quickly headed for the exits on your own thread leads me to ask.
JustaDumbBlonde,
People here have made some good points. My comparison, obviously, is inexact and not comprehensive, but then I never pretended otherwise.
My point simply is this: McMillan has well articulated, in a pithy and memorable way, the concern and frustration of an increasing number of Americans in the year 2010.
This remains true, despite whatever flaws and problems he himself possesses.
Regards,
John
Admittedly, I’ve only heard him in his Hannity interview yesterday on the radio.
The only thing in him that I’ve seen that he has in common with the Tea Party candidates is that he isn’t a professional politician, and that, by itself, isn’t much.
He evaded every simple, serious direct question by throwing angry, blustery streams of populist lefty rhetoric like a coal-fired destroyer throws a smoke screen. When Hannity would lob him a softball, he’d immediately calm down and answer directly and thoughtfully.
He is apparently a guy trying to parlay economic illiteracy into a political career. He isn’t Tea Party anything.
I appreciate your response.
