Pardon my views, but the GOP has now gone on record showing just how RUTHLESS they are. They do NOT care about the American people and whats good for America. They only care about big business and keeping their wealthy friends happy. It's a sad day for us all....These Republicans spent four days and worked until four in the morning trying to figure out ways to make America poorer and how to take away benefits for children, the poor and the middle class. Not one idea about how to lower unemployment.
Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi said the bill would put people out of work and claimed the Republicans reaction to that was "so be it."
"Democrats have a different message: 'Show us the jobs,'" she said. "Congressional Republicans have spent the last six weeks ignoring jobs and refusing to offer a plan to grow our economy."
"Today, they have made matters worse — passing a spending bill that destroys jobs, weakens the middle class, hurts schools and young adults, eliminates assistance to homeless veterans, and diminishes critical investments in our future," she said.
Now when 2012 arrives the Republicans will start off with the same old story about how President Obama and the Democratic controlled Senate have kept unemployment high and the economy is still stagnant. So take this story and print it off and put it on the refrigerator so you won't forget what the Republicans are all about. They want the country to go nowhere for the next year and a half and they are counting on the Democrats to stay home from the polls. Remember Wisconsin and Ohio where the working people have been steamrollered and how the oil companies have been allowed their Government welfare. Remember it and vote this stench out of Washington and the United States of America.
Last November, for those of you on the right who love to chant, "We won, we won, read the election results," the American voters did NOT put the deficit or national debt on the leading concerns of the day. Nor did they care a whit at the time about abortion, states' rights, health care reform or other causes the GOP/TP has wasted its time chasing over the past seven weeks.
Recent polls, released this week, re-confirm election day exit polls:
- 83% of voters named jobs and the economy their number one worry
- 73% were motivated by deep disaffection with the way Congress performs - and are certainly not being reassured by the incontinent behavior of the House Republican majority now
- While 22% said they were influenced by a Tea Party issue, 56% said they ignored the Tea Pary, and another 18% were actively opposed to TP issues and actions

Well put article, my love. I'm not sure if the House Majority just wants things to go bad so everyone will think horribly about Obama come 2012 or if they honestly believe that what they're doing is the most productive thing they can possible do for this moment in time. I'm not sure what that is but it sure isn't helping the people in this country that truly need assistance right now. I only hope that if somehow things do get better that people realize that it was not this recently enacted party that was responsible, but instead the policy of the former majority that's been in power for past two years. Who am I kidding. I'm asking for hope from individuals that put these idiots into office in the first place. I don't know what's going to happen in the next couple of years, but if we have Republican control in the Congress and the Presidency, I honestly think we're screwed.
