GOP 'tough shit' Senator causes thousands of workers to be furloughed without pay

[Avatar4321]

Based on Republican scientific research, "Hungry people make the best workers". Of course, you have to be careful. There has to be a balance. Republicans also understand that if you "feed 'em, they'll breed".

So you dont work when your hungry in order to get food? How the heck did you manage to violate the laws of nature?

Also, maybe I should let your parents explain this to you, but food doesn't cause people to breed. Sex does.

Hitler was a proud Nationalist Socialist (that's what the acronym NAZI means), who openly admired Marx in Mein Kaumpf.

Ever look at the Nazi flag?...Ever wonder what the bright red field signifies?

To be fair, in order for them to wonder, they would have to think about things regularly....

Jim Bunning Costs 8,000 NYers Checks Today

What a shameless piece of crap. Thoughts?

So why would the Senator from Kentucky be concerned about the people in NY?

Wonder how all those Federal workers will enjoy being on the unemployment line like the rest of America??

Because inspectors on federal construction jobs are being furloughed, it is forcing construction projects to be shut down. So private construction companies and private contractors that were the successful bidders on those projects are forced to send their workers home. Contractors figure their costs and profits based on mobilization, material, available working days posed against project finish dates. It effects how many other jobs they bid on for that year. All projects have deadlines and incentives.and/or penalties attached to meeting or exceeding the finish date. This could lead to private contractors being penalized for failure to comply to the terms of the contract.

I know you right wing simpletons revel in seeing people suffer. This is not fiscal responsible governing, this is a form of domestic terrorism. It will push some American families over a cliff.

You assholes better start reading the Bible...you are heading for a really HOT eternity.

If the left would tell the entire story, it would/should change opinions. He did not want to defund the federal workers or the unemployed, only that he wanted the funds to come from somewhere else such as the stimulus money that has not been spent. We can't keep printing money and he had ideas as to where to get it. A portion of the stimulus already spent was on govt employees such as teachers, police and firemen so its not much of a stretch to continue that.

He also wants to hold the politicians to the "paygo" bill they voted for.

This uproar from the left is nothing more than the scare tactics they often accuse the right of doing. If the whole story is told, it would not get as much play on the MSM and message boards.

Shut the hell up Avatar, you troll.

Dude, it is true that Nazis called themselves "National Socialists" but in reality it was a uber-nationalistic totalitarian form of government; Far from what has become the accepted perception of "Liberalism" or "Socialism;" Polar opposite actually.

 

[Oddball]

Now you're just making crap up.

Hitler admired and modeled Marx...That is a matter of historical fact.

Deal with it.

From Wiki:

In both popular thought and academic scholarship, Nazism is generally considered a form of fascism – a term whose definition is contentious. Both fascism and Nazism reject ideologies like democracy, liberalism and Marxism,[29] but it is difficult to indentify a perfect definition of the two terms. According to most scholars of fascism, there are both left and right influences on the ideology; it has historically attacked communism, conservatism and parliamentary liberalism, attracting support primarily from the far right.[30]

What do you mean, "Deal with it?" How could it possibly affect me or my manifesto if he admired Marx or not? (He did not)

WASHINGTON — Two thousand federal transportation workers were furloughed without pay on Monday, and the Obama administration said they have a Kentucky senator to blame for it.

Jim Bunning: The Underperformer

Before he entered politics, Kentucky Republican Jim Bunning was an outstanding baseball pitcher who was inducted into the Hall of Fame. But so far the burly right-hander has struck out in his seven years in the Senate.

In addition to being hostile to staff members on the Hill and occasionally even other Senators, Bunning shows little interest in policy unless it involves baseball, according to congressional experts and colleagues. When asked, they struggle to recall any legislation Bunning has worked on, although he did join Arizona Senator John McCain last spring in demanding tougher punishments for steroid use in professional sports.

Bravo Bunning...BRAVO

HITLER WAS A SOCIALIST

 

[Cuyo]

To humor you dude, I googled "Hitler Marx" and here's what I found:

Hitler saw socialism as part of a Jewish conspiracy. Many of the socialist leaders in Germany, including Kurt Eisner, Rosa Luxemburg, Ernst Toller and Eugen Levine were Jews. So also were many of the leaders of the October Revolution in Russia. This included Leon Trotsky, Gregory Zinoviev, Lev Kamenev, Dimitri Bogrov, Karl Radek, Yakov Sverdlov, Maxim Litvinov, Adolf Joffe, and Moisei Uritsky. It had not escaped Hitler's notice that Karl Marx, the prophet of socialism, had also been a Jew.

Adolf Hitler

About 1/5 of the way down.

C'mon Dude, gimme a break will ya? I expect this kind of unmitigated trash from Avatar but you? Do a little homework before you call me stupid for disagreeing with you.

Follow the link I just posted...It's only written by a PhD.

The idea that Stalin and Hitler were polar opposites is the worst kind of historical re-writing tripe out there.

This link you've provided is a guy's tripod page. I ain't reading the whole thing. It's bed time. But I suspect it was written in an underground bunker, by a guy wearing a tin-foil hat.

good night, dude.

Whatever.

Banner night for the "I got nothing" crowd".

 

[sealybobo]

So vote and campaign against guys like Bunning. Also Max Baucus, Lieberman,

Oh, and Bill Halter is going to beat Blanch Lincoln. She's a bad Democrat that needs replacing.

Bad democrats act just like Republicans. They vote with the GOP.

And good Democrats pay for it because "they can't get er done".

But don't people realize the GOP most certainly is not the answer. Their policies and their leadership ran us into this mess.

So don't punish the good Democrats because we have 15 blue dogs voting with the minority. Replace those blue dogs. Or get rid of the republican in your state. They are the problem. Don't like the Dems? The GOP is worse! Their obstuction is the problem.

Just as mad as I am now and wanting our country to get new blood in politics. The truth is or should not be a partisan issue as the entire country is going broke, repubs and dems both. unfortunately for the Dems and their supporters, they have been in control of the budget since 2007. Congress, not the President controls the money.

We were talking about current events though, try to keep up.

BTW nice language, I guess thats how tough guys in high school communicate.

I agree, he should be applauded, not vilified, for wanting it paid for without further debt. The borrowing has to stop somewhere.

 

[Misty]

Don't forget the 400,000 whose unemployment benefits have run out. Wanna bet 300,000 of those are Republicans? Don't feed 'em or they'll breed.

Nice hyperbole. Now prove it
