Tea Party Group Urges Small Businesses ‘Not To Hire A Single Person’ To Hurt Obama

[Stephanie]

Yes, I'd have to call you one of them.

Again, the point is not that McConnell wants a Republican in the WH.

The point is that he's willing to harm the country in the process, by refusing to work with the President on any issue.

You cannot find a comparable remark from a Democrat.

well hell yeah, I can remember all them Democrat Congresscritters BENDING over backwards TO WORK with Bush.

I don't care what you can find, ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS, eh?
But then maybe if you looked hard enough, you could find anything you want.

Democrats under Bush were the loyal opposition regarding putting Americans first.

LOL, so that's what you call it when the Democrats OBSTRUCT, play dirty politics, etc etc.
Man, I gotta go dig out my hip waders.

As you said, both parties are doing it. Until we get a third (or more) party with enough elected officials to make a difference, or a non-partisan way of electing our officials, all we will continue to see are these silly tit-for-tat games. Which is sad because they are killing what our forefathers wanted the government to be.

Yes, I said both parties do it - but you missed the point. Republicans have taken it waaay beyond the realm of loyal opposition to a dangerous new level.

And the Democrats have done the same thing. Like having a film made about the assassination of a sitting President.

Democrats made that film? I thought it was made in England.

You are joking right? The system is working EXACTLY like the forefathers wanted.

Then the forefathers would have written the filibuster into the Constitution, along with a requirement for at least two political parties.

Neither is in the USC.

We have a majority of Senators who want a floor debate on the jobs bill. The debate [not the bill] is being obstructed by a distinct minority.

Please show your reasons for believing that the founders wanted debate on the Senate floor to be blocked by a minority.

Thanks.

this was stupid when the other idiot posted it.

it hasn't improved any.

I'm scared del.

We agree on something!

How can a "minority" block anything?
And since when have we become the Majority runs roughshod over everyone else?

 

[teapartysamurai]

Holy shit, these people are pure evil.

Okay, all I can say is, this is really stupid.

Obama is doing all he can to destroy the economy and yet there is some eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeevil conspiracy by the Tea Party to keep businesses from hiring people?

Yeah, you run with that one.

Those desperate to smear their enemies, because they can't talk up anything good about Obama, will fall for this laughable meme.

It's a sad commentary on your lack of intelligence that you even think (what a joke, you think?) this will have any traction with the electorate.

Okay, I can't post anymore on this thread.

After all, I'm tea party and I have to run down to my local businesses and tell them not to hire anyone!

Stupid, REALLY REALLY stupid!

 

[Stephanie]

I guess you have to hand to that Tea Party..

They have become SO POWERFUL they can run around and TELL businesses NOT TO HIRE people..



this came from thinkprogrss folks. nuff said.

Since the introduction of the filibuster. Have you heard of it?

Since when is putting something on the floor for debate by a majority "running roughshod over everyone else"?

The debate has been blocked by a minority. 51 Senators [who by the way represent FAR more citizens than the 49 who blocked debate] voted for a debate on the jobs bill.

There's a great deal of independent evidence showing that the jobs bill will actually work to address the jobs crisis in the country. I guess that's why the Pubs don't want to debate it.

LOL, YOU MEAN like that FIRST 800billion stimulus was SUPPOSE TO address THAT CRISIS? but yet here we are, IN ANOTHER crisis. It's one damn crisis after another with this administration, and if they DON'T GET their way we are ALL DOOMED, eh?
And if I RECALL, Democrats voted DOWN THIS BILL WITH the Republicans. but keep spinning it.

Actually work?





It was nothing but a blatant attempt to buy votes by offering to pay for local services.

Congressional Republicans have acted shocked and offended at Democrats’ suggestions that they are intentionally sabotaging the economy to try to win back the White House in 2012. Republicans have refused to pass President Obama’s jobs plan — which experts estimate will create at least 1.9 million jobs — and proposed an alternative plan that Moody’s says “will likely push the economy back into recession.”

Now influential Tea Party leaders are throwing caution to the wind and openly lobbying business owners to stop hiring in order to hurt Obama politically. This week, Right Wing Watch picked up on a message Tea Party Nation sent to their members from conservative activist Melissa Brookstone.

In a rambling letter titled “Call For A Strike of American Small Businesses Against The Movement for Global Socialism,” Brookstone urges businesses “not hire a single person” to protest “this new dictator”:

You must think we are as dumb as you look.
Thinkprogress, a far left wing radical blog puts out some unsubstantiated nonsense and you like all other lefty moonbats eat it up like it was ice cream. Have you not a single independent thought in your head?
I like how it says "picked up on a message". As though think progress had some sophisticated listening device on a remote mountain top and that device was manned by code breakers....Holy shit! The desperation of the political left has gone so extreme, it's free entertainment.
Next thing we know think progress will release a story that says some thing like, "people who wear gray suits with blue ties are actually part of a racist anti Obama hate group funded by the Tea Party".....
You people have been smoking too much mother nature.

What's "un-substantiated"?

Seriously. It looks as if this was the exact strategy employed by big corporations. But I don't think it's really a strategy of "not hiring"..it's more of a strategy to crush labor.

It began with "capturing" Union members by giving them more pay and benefits then their Union counterparts. That was in addition to giving money to anti-union legislators. Once Union membership was down and government was a bit more favorable, they employed "synergy", which meant reducing workforce. That meant off and near shoring as well as changing overtime rules and employing contractors. That also included cutting benefits. The United States now enjoys something like a 470:1 executive to employee compensation ratio thanks to conservatives.

Ain't you guys happy?

Done wonders for the economy. We got to pay for the high flying gambling too.

An excellent example of why Nancy Pelosi and friends exempted themselves from the minimum wage law..

Oh wait this was supposed to be one sided.

Try harder......................

Try to go dig out a brain, why don't you??? When was the last time you posted anything of substance along with your stupid remarks??? Give us some instances where the Dems were obstructive. Anybody can post the statement like a big dope.

Something is only a lie until there is evidence. Then it's not a lie.

Examples of lies:

Obama wasn't born in this country.

Iraq is developing nuclear weapons.

Before the smoking gun becomes a mushroom cloud.

Trickle down works.

See? These are lies.

Now, let's look at something called a lie until "proof" is discovered:

Stimulating Hypocrisy: 114 Lawmakers Block Recovery While Taking Credit For Its Success | ThinkProgress

Go through the list. Do a search on each Republican mentioned. Find out if it's the "truth" from other sources.

Now this from the Christian Science Monitor.

Unemployment benefits: not until Bush tax cuts pass, Senate GOP says

Unemployment benefits: not until Bush tax cuts pass, Senate GOP says - CSMonitor.com

Republicans said their leaders never held millions of Americans hostage. Except they did. See? Republicans say they didn't, but the evidence says they did.

Translation: I've got nothing. I just love to run my mouth but I don't know what I'm talking about. And I'm really pissed off that I got called on it.

I really don't think that it would matter what anyone from the tea party may say they can't fix obama's fuck ups, and the rich want to make money they do not want to lose money, politics is not what motivates them the bottem line is how much will they profit.

 

[editec]

Do I believe that some big capital players are capable of foregoing hiring to hurt this POTUS's chances in the next race?

Yes, I believe that some big capital is more than capable and diciplined enough to do that.

Long term players will forgo opportunity now if they believe that by doing so, they'll gain more in the future.

Do I believe that is what is happening right now?

No.

I believe that major corporations are not hiring because there is no good business reason to hire.

 

[SAT]

It's called lack of demand. High unemployment, and hearing that the Congress doesn't care if you have a job or not, will do that.
