GO RICK!

[Ann Archy]

Hey, Rock is the Father of the Tea Party!! I LOVE his rants!!!

[Huck]

Thanks for posting. Love me some Santelli ranting.

[animal172]

Classic. Why can’t we have some pols that understand things the way he does? Oh, I forgot. You have to have a set and our pols have all been neutered/spayed.

[HereInTheHeartland]

Rick is right.

I still have his orginal tea party call for action bookmarked on my computer ( a great piece of history in my opinion) :

Here's the "RANT" that started an avalanche...

The 'Shot' heard around the world...

Changed the course of history!... GO RICK!

[TomGuy]

Other commentator: “... but we’re running out of time....” [to raise the debt ceiling]

[whine]

Santilli is right: it is a spending problem.

[The threat of armageddon without a debt ceiling increase has been going on for months now. Amazingly, they come up with a deadline; however, when it passes, life goes on and they find another ‘must-raise ceiling’ a few weeks down the road.]

Rick is right, of course.

If we reach the debt ceiling, we will still have plenty of revenue to pay off the interest on our debt, which is all our creditors care about.

Yes, the non-essential services will be cut back. But how many people do we need picking up litter in the government-kept land?

The debt-spenders are trying to over-complicate this issue and they are using FEAR and the THREAT OF CRISIS — as they ALWAYS do — do keep people from thinking clearly and acting in a calm, intelligent, reasoned fashion.

This is an epic rant from the trading floor.

Not bad. But I wish instead of using Social Security as an example which has lesser priority than paying interest on the debt, I wish he would have used paying salaries and pensions to the bureaucracy; and payments to State governments.

[Daveinyork]

read my lips, no increase in the debt limit, (forget the period, exclamation point!)

[cashless]

Rick gets it. Free Republic gets it. The Tea Party gets it. How long before the Republican elitist establishment gets it?

[Mobties]

I love the sound of Rick Santelli in the morning. It sounds like common sense and good solid judgment .....

.....all the more so when set against all those Obamaphiles on CNBC.

All hail the man who gave the Tea Party movement its name!

[BereanBrain]

Rick Santelli for PREZ!

[DManA]

“There’s no compromise. Stop spending.” And from there it got weirder.

If that sounds weird to this writer then that tells us all we need to know about where he's coming from.

Rick Santelli go very nearly grandma-punching crazy

That's close to slander.

[Reo]

"Santelli said “there’s a bullet in the gun. If we keep spending, for sure we’re going to hit something and it’s going to bleed!"

Gotta love Rick's Rants. First he gave us the modern Tea Party, and now a vision of Tax & Spend as "Democrat Roulette". Sure hope someone with a national voice can pick up on that...

[catfish1957]

Santelli is a modern day Thomas Paine.

[Lancey Howard]

Awesome!
