Texas 5th District - Election 2010 - The New York Times
I was watching Morning Joe and they had Congressman Jeb Hensarling from Texas 5th District.
This is no joke, he said Obama is for "big business" and the Republicans and him are trying to protect the poor and the middle class by stopping them from getting health insurance. HUH????
Look where he gets his money from. Banks and Insurance companies. And a third of the people in his district make less than $25 grand.
I believe one of the problems Republicans have is they still think they can stand up and lie right into a camera while talking to the American people and no one is going to "go look".
What sunk their last campaign were
all the lies. About Obama ending the welfare work requirement, about moving manufacturing for jeeps sold in the US to China and so on.But this idea that the GOP is for the poor and middle class? Seriously? I bet even USMB Republicans don't defend that one. They might give it a go, but their hearts won't be in it.
News Flash about lie number one:
News Flash about lie number two.
How Obama has gutted welfare reform - Washington Post
The 1996 welfare reform law required that a portion of the able-bodied adults in the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program the successor to the Aid to Families with Dependent Children program work or prepare for work. Those work requirements were the heart of the reforms success: Welfare rolls dropped by half, and the poverty rate for black children reached its lowest level in history in the years following.
But the Obama administration has jettisoned the laws work requirements, asserting that, in the future, no state will be required to follow them. In place of the legislated work requirements, the administration has stated, it will unilaterally design its own work systems without congressional involvement or consent. Any state will be free to follow the new Obama requirements in lieu of the written statute.
You were saying!
You might consider using an actual news story instead of biased and untrue opinion. Have you ever considered that? It was Republican governors who asked Obama to waive the welfare work requirement. What do you think of that?

"Every single person here who's looked at it says it's patently false," Obama said a news conference on Monday.
So where did the notion of a major welfare reform overhaul come from?
Where it didn't come from is Washington but rather from Utah, Nevada, California, Connecticut and Minnesota.
These states, some with Republican governors, asked the federal government for more flexibility in how they hand out welfare dollars. Their purpose was to spend less time on federal paperwork and more time experimenting with ways to connect welfare recipients with jobs.
The Obama administration cooperated, granting waivers to some states from some of the existing rules.
Jeeps that are being SOLD in China are being built in China. Try to figure out why.
