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

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.

What? Democrats made a film about assassinating a sitting President? Frankly that's bullshit.

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.

Thinkprogress, wow, now that's a nonpartisan site there! HAHA!!!!!!
 
Think Progress is as good a source for a link to something that actually happened as any.

We're not talking about opinion. We're talking about a real event. Someone actually said something. Sending it through the Think Progress website doesn't mean it un-happened. He still said it.
 
Hey I've a small business and I won't hire because to do so right NOW under Obama regime I'll have to spend a lot more then the revenue that employee will contribute!
A) Due to Obamacare
B) Due to EPA/OSHA further regulations
C) AND if I don't hire someone who wasn't employed I can be sued under Obama rules!

And that's the cost of hiring.
SO the advantage of NOT hiring someone today will to get rid of Obama who is anti-business, anti-capitalist and replace with someone who WANTS America to succeed!

Mitch McConnell said it a mere two months into Obama's Presidency. Their number 1 job is the make Obama a one-term President. Doesn't matter who or what get's hurt in the process. That's their job and main goal. All else be DAMNED!

Given he never said all else be damned, isn't this the goal of the opposite party to the sitting president? Assure that their party wins the next election?


No it is to govern... They owe their party nothing and us everything

The parties have destroyed this country


And yes this woman is an idiot, and anyone who supports her. Their are morons on the left and right, I will say though usually the left is just disagreeing with the right. Rarely do you see people that are asshole enough, for the lack of a better word, to sabotage a goal that they both want - to get the unemployment down.

This is far more blatantly anti-American than anything in Obama's history, speeches, or actions.

A,B, and C are understandable.

However, when you put it terms like this it sounds like you can and need to hire someone however you don't in act of protest. Which is awful, and will only alienate you and those like you from the rest of society.

'Scuse me? How in the world did you leap to this conclusion, if you accept the basic truth of A,B, & C? It's as if you believed 2+2=15!! An act of self-preservation isn't the same thing as an act of protest where I come from - and I've lived in a few places in this country.

Did you people not learn to evaluate what you read, hear, or see before you in a Google search box with a little skill called "critical thinking"? Or haven't you graduated yet?? So far, I'm completely unimpressed by the level of intelligent discussion of the issues (calling someone an idiot or evil is not discussion, btw) here.

I'd hear more intelligent observation from 3rd graders... REALLY people. Steve Jobs said it: THINK and THINK DIFFERENT - don't just parrot any old crap without asking yourself if it's a) true or b) makes any sense.

Small business (or any legitimate business of any size) doesn't make "promises" to hire people that they're not sure they can keep... and since it appears that the "invisible" costs of an employee are going to increase significantly in the near future... Sm. business owners simply are acting in the interest of the people they ALREADY PAY... so the company doesn't have to close and the business isn't able to pay any of them!!

It's not a protest - they're trying to stay in business and protect the people already working. I swear, I feel like I'm from another planet... and y'all only want to throw poison darts back & forth... when there's work to do figuring out what we can do, right where we work & live to survive these crazy times.

That is how I reached that conclusion you fucking idiot. Why don't you go seek intelligence instead of writing paragraphs about nothing that is so easily answered.

All you had to do was ask where did I get that from, not come into this and start throwing lil shots at my intelligence. I'm a conservative by the way, I just actually do think for myself.

Again, sincerely, fuck you

Honestly, I don't like the way you came at me at all in that post, ''Obama doesn't want America to succeed"?

It's his job, if anything it is your critical thinking skills that lack, as I can read between the lines and infer and you clearly can't.

Anyways you want to talk all that shit, you live all over the country.... You ever in NY or TX let me know. You talk too much

Seriously, Sanity, let that seep in. It displays more insight and though than anything in that fuckin novel you are trying to write douche bag
 
The Health Care Reform Act exempts small businesses.

So that complaint is a big FAIL. :)

EPA and OSHA regulations haven't changed.

Another fail.

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.

so a call to “Call For A Strike of American Small Businesses Against The Movement for Global Socialism" is any different form the OWS chuckle heads and G-20 anarchists calling for the fall of capitalism? really? :lol:

I don't hate the tea party yet I hear this a lot, however, only from republicans.

What Tea Party member is a democrat? I have never heard a democrat admit to that.

lol you guys are so confrontational Im a conservative I want smaller government I like the Tea Party...

But I don't believe that because what the Tea Party applies as solutions is not a typical Democrat belief. Democrats may share the same frustrations however they believe in different means to solving that problem

BTW your post, not Mr. T's, was incredibly stupid. It proved nothing, perhaps more conservatives showed up and independents leaned right.

It's becoming a habit, but a lot of you draw it out of me, fuck you dumbass.

I'm not gonna minx words anymore, clearly on both sides their are people worth debating with and idiots like you who aren't, who treat it like sports. "Yea are team is better than your we kicked you ass last november"

I'm tellin the dumb to fuck off from now on, and if you aren't dumb and you just made one bad post, cool, but if I see some more stupid shit. I'm gonna call y'all on it and tell y'all to fuck off. It's getting old.

you do know who you quoted right? becasue you're swinging wild.


your 'answer' is a non starter, if they didn't vote they had no interest in their candidates, if they did and a lot of 'moderate' dems got chucked, its becasue they switched or didn't vote because they no longer were interested in sppting their candidate, call it a vote of no confidence the results are the same either way.....I don't know whats so hard to fathom.

Rahm worked hard in in 05 and 06 to run mod dems in swing districts that had con proclivities but would vote dem if the right candidate came along, that got blown up last year........
