Almost half of Florida voters think Republicans are purposely sabotaging economic rec

[daveman]

You recite beautifully.

Prove me wrong.

Let's try it this way-you explain to us all how this creates jobs:

Resolution of disapproval regarding the FCC’s regulation of the Internet and broadband industry practices

It doesn't.

But these do:

H.R. 872, the Reducing Regulatory Burdens Act
H.R. 910, the Energy Tax Prevention Act
H.Res. 72, a Resolution to direct committees to inventory and review existing, pending, and proposed regulations and order from agencies of the Federal Government, particularly with respect to their effect on jobs and economic growth
H.R. 4, the Small Business Paperwork Mandate Elimination Act
H.R. 1230, Restarting American Offshore Leasing Now Act
H.R. 1229, Putting the Gulf of Mexico Back to Work Act
H.R. 1231, Reversing President Obama’s Offshore Moratorium Act

Why won't the Senate take action on these? Doesn't the Dem-controlled Senate want to create jobs?

Sure doesn't look like.

It should be obvious to anyone that Republicans have no interest in seeing any improvement in the economy until after 2012. They have in the past and will continue to block legislation that will lead to any significant improvement.

If they should get control of government, they will attempt to make massive cuts in government spending which will result in millions of lost jobs and billions of dollars less consumer spending.

Well, that explains why the GOP-controlled House passed these bills:

H.R. 872, the Reducing Regulatory Burdens Act
H.R. 910, the Energy Tax Prevention Act
H.Res. 72, a Resolution to direct committees to inventory and review existing, pending, and proposed regulations and order from agencies of the Federal Government, particularly with respect to their effect on jobs and economic growth

H.R. 1229, Putting the Gulf of Mexico Back to Work Act
H.R. 1231, Reversing President Obama’s Offshore Moratorium Act

These bills, I might add, that the Demo-controlled Senate refuses to look at.

Oh, wait...it doesn't explain it at all. It does prove, however, that your mindless repetition of moonbat talking points is not based in reality.

By repealing the act that Obama used to put people out of work in the Gulf of Mexico oil industry, and by removing burdensome regulation from small businesses allowing them to expand.

Contrary to popular leftist non-thought, jobs are created by private industry, not by government.

You will, predictably, screech "Nuh-UH!!"

Obama didn't put people out of work. The oil spill put people out of work. You think the tourist and seafood industries are doing well after the oil spill?

Face it, environmental protections are good for the economy.

The "burdensome regulations" line is more recitations. What regulations?

Obama put people out of work. That is undeniable. Only stupid people insist otherwise.

Face it, environmental protections are good for the economy.

Some are. Some aren't. You can't make that distinction.

Dunno. That's why the resolution is titled "a Resolution to direct committees to inventory and review existing, pending, and proposed regulations and order from agencies of the Federal Government, particularly with respect to their effect on jobs and economic growth".

As is usually the case, Liberals only read the headline and not the whole article:

Of course, the natural follow up question is important: Will this matter? The Suffolk poll contains no signs that it does. Obama’s approval is at 41 percent in this key swing state, versus 50 percent who disapprove. He’s tied with likely GOP nominee Mitt Romney, 42-42. An equal number — 29 percent — say they will vote either Democratic or Republican “no matter what,” with another 13 percent saying they will only vote Democratic if the economy gets better, meaning DEMS will be held accountable. As I’ve been saying, it’s very possible that the GOP will benefit politically from blocking Obama’s jobs policies, even though they have majority support. This new Florida poll raises another possibility: That Republicans may benefit from blocking Obama’s policies even though voters accept the idea that they’re sabotaging the economy for political reasons.

See that? Even when you win, you lose!

you're deluding yourself...

for such a "terrible" president, he is running pretty well, particularly given the sabotage of the political system by the rightwingnuts.

RealClearPolitics - President Obama vs. Republican Candidates

you shouldn't ignore the fact that even though the president's job approval is at about 47% (amazing in this economy, btw), congressional job approval is only at 12%... and has plummeted since the teanut gallery took over.

The oil spill put people out of work, Dave. It didn't have to sign anything. It was a gigantic industrial accident. It created future jobs for chemotherapy nurses.

What part of "Obama signed the moratorium" is failing to shoehorn its way into the hollow space behind your eyes?
19,000 Jobs Worth $1.1 Billion in Wages Lost Nationally Since Offshore Drilling Moratorium Imposed | CNSnews.com

At least 13,000 jobs have been lost since last summer’s moratorium on offshore oil production, surpassing projected job losses in a 2010 study by thousands, according to the Louisiana State University professor who authored the study.

Joseph Mason, author of “The Economic Cost of a Moratorium on Offshore Oil and Gas Exploration to the Gulf Region,” estimated that the new regional job losses due to the moratorium on offshore oil production in the Gulf region is now 13,000 – up from his original estimate of 8,000.

Mason also estimated the national job losses to have increased from 12,000 to 19,000; regional wage losses to be $800 million, up from $500 million; national wage losses to be $1.1 billion, up from $700 million; lost tax revenues on the state and local level to be $155 million, up from $100 million; and lost tax revenues on the national level to be $350 million, up from $200 million.

A recent Gallup poll shows that six in 10 Americans favor increasing offshore drilling for oil and gas in U.S. Coastal areas, which is up 50 percent from May 2010. The same poll says 49 percent of Americans are now in favor of opening Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge for Oil exploration, up from 43 percent in 2008.

Last December, the consulting firm Wood Mackenzie conducted a study that projects that by 2015 associated job losses could reach 125,000 per year. According to the Obama administration statistics, 12,000 jobs have been lost as a result of the moratorium.​

That's Obama's fault. Not the spill's. The only people the spill put out of work were the crew of the Deepwater Horizon.
