The Republicans Blocks Jobs Bill

And, the lie that it is the democrats that care about people has been proven false thousands of times. Take slavery for instance or the new term - welfare

Its actually 22 jobs bills that the republican led house have passed. These bills have been sitting on the floor of the democrat run senate. They are not passing a damn thing.

ok here is one that shows 290 bills from CBS which is certainly not right wing http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_162-6235854-503544.html By the way, Bush had a democrat congress

All I read from The Hill is pure right-wing propaganda, even the comments are from disgruntled conservatives blaming the Democrats for the state of our economy. When every clear thinking American knows that the Bush Administration put us in these dire straits. They're all career politicians that's the problem with Washington,D.C. once someone is elected to a seat they own it as long as they go along with their party's agenda. We should vote all incumbents out of office.

Both parties should be investigated under the RICO act.

What do you have to say about the Democrats who don't support this bill?

I call Demos who don't back their party "cowards and turn coats." The Demos didn't fail this is how bad the Republicans bought this country down. Superman and Jesus together couldn't undo the mess that Bush and company did to this country. ...

A MAJORITY of the Senate did vote for it but the GOP, as usual, filibustered so it would have required 60 votes to even be debated on the floor. THAT'S what needs to change, the filibuster was never intended to be used on every single bill. Annie

Ouch, you forgot the two Democrats that voted against it. Did you actually read the bill?

PS. It would have had to clear the Senate vote first which is Democrat controlled. It failed to generate the votes necessary to jump this hurdle.

Oh Please! the Republicans got us in the condition we are in, when Pres. G.W. Bush was in office he started this war in Iraq which wasn't necessary and cost us billions I mean trillions of dollars. He gave lip service to Freddie and Fannie, wasted the surplus Pres. Clinton left. The damage was done before Pres. Obama took office. The president has tried to correct the damage that G.W. Bush inflicted on the country.

Oh PLEASE! It took both parties to vote us into this mess. The only time that both parties didn't have a voice was when the Senate had a super-majority, the first two years of President Obama. News Flash... Clinton didn't have a surplus when he left. That's a complete myth perpetuated by people who don't bother to look up his record. The stimulus did not do what it was supposed to. That was under President Obama. The bailout of the bank companies. That was under President Obama. Going into Afghanistan, that was President Obama. Tripling the debt. That was under President Obama. You can't keep placing the blame on President Bush when President Obama keeps shoveling more on to it with a bigger shovel.

If you look at the national debt, all during the 90s, and up to 2001 and beyond, there was never a year in which the debt declined. It increased year after year, continuously. The myth of the surplus was a joke. But... it is true that the deficit had declined to close to balance. The problem is it was the Republicans in congress that pushed for it. If you look at the deficit before 1994, it was increasing. When the Republicans got into office in 1995, they had the budget battle that closed down the government for a few weeks or whatever. But from that year on, the Republicans cut spending and cut spending and cut spending until 2000 which had the nearly balanced budget. You claim that it was Republicans that got us into this mess. That's partially true, and partially not. The untrue part is what the left is completely ignorant of. If there was ZERO spending on military, as in NONE AT ALL... We would still be in a deficit, and still be forced to cut something. The problem isn't in military spending, it's in Social Security and Medicare. If Social Security and Medicare were the ONLY TWO BUDGET ITEMS.... we'd have a deficit. Further, if you look at the budget deficit after 2003, the deficit shrank every year till 2008. In fact if you look at the deficit of 2007, it was nearly the same as 1997, not too far off from where your beloved Clinton had it most of his presidency. Here's the true part. The bailout. The bailout spent billions, driving up the deficit. That part you have correct. So here's my question to you... So a Republican did that. I agree. Does the fact a Republican did that, mean that a Democrat would have been better? Here's my Challenge... name *ONE*... just ONE!!! ONE Democrat potential president that would *NOT* have done the bailout. Can you name one? Hilliary? She was in favor of it. Obama? He was in favor of it. Timothy Geithner, that stooge Obama picked to run the Federal Reserve, actually thinks he single handedly prevent the Great Depression. So clearly they would have done the bailout. Only 18 Democrats in both houses, that would be 18 out of 280 Democraps, voted against the bailout. Alternatively, 160 Republicans voted against it. And you think we would have been better off with Democrats running the show? No, we would not. Things would have been much worse, as I predicted things would get worse when Obama won the election, and I am not even remotely surprised that now, 3 years later we are looking at a possible new record deficit. Remember the plan? We were going to stimulate the economy with our $1.4 Trillion deficit in 2009, and then with the massive growing economy, we'll shrink the deficit.... to.... um... $1.3 Trillion in 2010? Well that's a start, but then well really fix things with a tiny deficit of.... er... $1.5 Trillion?? No no, that's not the latest numbers. The latest numbers are that we may hit $1.6 Trillion by the end of this year. Now lets review.... Bush $400 Billion deficit... that's bad. Obama $1.6 Trillion deficit....... that's.... what?? Good?!? What is this? New math?

while you're calling the Obama administration a failure, your state of Ohio might be the state that causes Pres. Obama to be reelect. ...
