The only way we can help jobs in this country is to elect a Republican President

It is not the repubs responsibility to make Obama look good. He does that through policy decisions. It is his decisions that have prompted this discussion.

It's there job to craft policy to help the American people. They control one house of congress. They are the minority party right now. It's fully acceptable to criticize and modify the policy of the majority policy. It is not, acceptable, to completely thwart it.

Helping the people does mean STOPPING OBAMA.

Thats just a reality you dont wish to face.

I have come to the realization that there is no way that electing Obama President in 2012 will help the jobs picture. We need to put in a Republican if we hope to improve employment in this country

As long as Obama is President, Republicans will block any jobs bill that can help improve employment. Not a single bill can pass until Republicans get the President that they want

So why don't we just admit the obvious and let the Republicans do what they want? We will have gridlock until we do

These types of comments, the constant cries of and accusations of obstructionism, demonstrates an immaturity and lack historical perspective that is common among the left. Reagan was able to pass his agenda with a divided Congress. Clinton was able to compromise with a Republican Congress and achieved welfare reformed and a balanced national budget.

This president was given a complacent majority in both houses of congress for two years, during which time Obama enjoyed substancial legislative victories, and now three years in after loosing the House and unemployment a sustained high, poll numbers at all time low, an economy in crisis, NOW it is because of those mean Republicans not allowing Obama to be liberal enough.

This is pure stupidity. Two years of the Democrats controlling 2 out 3 of the branches of the federal government means nothing to absolute simpletons like Rghtwinger, Fing morons.

No one is buying the bullshit.

 

[rightwinger]

Wow. How shallow and shortsided. Both selfish and masochistic at the same time. The equivalant of holding a loaded gun to the head of an ex lover and informing them 'if I cant have you none can'.

Do us all a favor and shoot yourself in the head, America will do fine without warped neocon drivel.

What alternative do we have?

Where are all the Republican jobs bills since the GOP took the House? As long as Obama is President, Republicans will do nothing that might make him look good

Electing Obama in 2012 will mean it is at least 2016 till Republicans allow any legislation to pass

It is not the repubs responsibility to make Obama look good. He does that through policy decisions. It is his decisions that have prompted this discussion.

It is their responsibility to help the country. We are almost one year into the republican House.......where is the important legislation?

What have they done for America?

Nothing.

Which is why electing a republican president will also result in nothing being done.

Might you just consider that changing policies from insane to rational by dumping a marxist ideologue might have a salutary effect, rather than assuming that people opposing wrongheaded and destructive programs are two year olds in need of a long bit of contemplation in in the corner, and that giving into these two year olds and appeasing them might work?

I will keep this post in my files. If the Republicans are successfully in preventing a recovery, which I believe they are intent on doing as a means to regain power, this post will lead a discussion on the debate sure to occur in January 2013 when the new President offers his/her plan for economic recovery.

Maybe B.M. will offer some rational ideas which would have a salutary effect [on our economy] on this thread. I'd really like to hear and debate what s/he believes would stimulate our economy and create jobs.

Then propose something reasonable.

This just doesnt do it for us.

Says who?

The Republicans are the majority party in the House where all spending and taxing bills must originate.

Sucks to be a Democrat right now, doesn't it?

Thats just a reality you dont wish to face.

Even your own party doesn't say that.

They have said, "Why would we want to help Obama get votes".

Which means..they know his policies would be successful in generating jobs.

It's pretty clear. No Republican President has been impeached. 2 Democratic Presidents have been impeached. And 2 Republican Presidents have been appointed to the Presidency via SCOTUS cases. Republicans are NOT a party of the people.

Republicans are the party of the wealthy. Democrats are for everyone else. Truman was right.

"If you want to live like a Republican, vote Democrat."

The house does not make the congress. Why should they put any effort to do the paper work get the votes maybe get it passed in the senate to be vetoed by obama? Best thing the republicans =better do is defund obama care. Which is why the REPUBLICANS were sent to D.C. in last yeaqrs election. Oh and the actual time they have been in controll of the house is 8 months and 18 days The democrats controlled congress for 4 years and two of those years obama was president plus obama was a senator duing 2 of the 4 years

The modern GOP/t-party are like the little pencil-necked-geek kid in the neighborhood who would take his ball home if he didn't get his way.

No they are more like the big dumb kid who thinks he owns the street

No.

What the Constitution says is that it is up to Congress to do the business of the people. That includes paying debts and raising taxes to PAY those debts.

It has, for over 30 years, been grossly deliquent in that matter.

Paygo was a way to get back on track.

And it did well. Bush got rid of it.

I will tell you again. I am anti democrat. Not all that fond of repubs.

I dont view things in the respect you describe.. The DNC sentiment is to live on borrowed money. Maybe you should think back on what their first cut proposals were. Stick it to the poor. The GOP isnt much better but the Tea party brings hope.


How much should this figure be?

Government - Interest Expense on the Debt Outstanding

And theirs nothing like a punky ***** ass democrats that whines and stomp their foot when they do not get their way

Lets remember when they won they said right away it was more important to make Obama a one termer than to do the peoples business

Making obama a one termer is their busniess when obama such a **** up. Two years as a president and 16 trillion later. Thank you **** up obama
