For at least the last 85 years, since 1929,
every time the Democrats took over, jobs were created faster.
And every time the Republicans took over, jobs were created slower.
Ten times in a row is no accident.
And the difference is huge.


The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral
philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.

want lower wage jobs....vote for a fu(king politician that makes you a promise......

even the religious folks give thanks "I don't make a lot of money but at least the lord has blessed me with a job"



...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......

The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.


STOP BEING GOOD DEMOCRATS---STOP BEING GOOD REPUBLICANS--START BEING GOOD AMERICANS

It's all slave labor.........but it's the only system we presently have to work with.
I'm sure we 'little folk' will be eating cat food once we retire!
The present economy SUCKS!
There are very few good paying jobs.
The housing market is in the tank........if you talk to realestate folks thru-out the country!
.........and GOV ALMIGHTY is in bed with BANKERS & BIG CORPORATIONS!
..........Screw the 'slave labor' force.
BUT.............it's the system....and it don't matter if they are reps or dems....they are just a different side of the same exact coin!!

Most Americans are still losing ground... these are non-inflation adjusted incomes:

Yup.  The Bush Economic Meltdown is still being felt among the middle class. (The 1%, not so much)
So... What happened to the GOP Jobs Bill????
Still waiting!
Just think of where the economy would be if the GOP got onboard an economic plan to help put people
back to work and help this country thrive instead of kicking the middle class when they are down.

Pass the buck...
The Dems had two years of total control to pass a jobs bill...After all, if it was so important to the Country, they could have used the Nuclear option to get rid of the 60 vote debate cut off...but they didn't

If it weren't for Conservative Blue Dog Democrats, much of the early Obama years would have been
easier with legislation for health care reform, infrastructure and economic programs.
Catering to “Blue Dog” democrats is the main reason democrats only held the house for 4 of the last
20 years. They’re the ones supporting deregulation, tax cuts for the wealthy, and a republican inspired
health care reform. All these positions are losers for Americans and democratic voters.

Obama's "DEMOCRATS" were far from the Liberal house he would need to pass legislation with out
serious concessions from Republicans.  

"Four years ago, Blue Dogs were the most influential voting bloc on Capitol Hill, more than
50 House Democrats pulling their liberal colleagues to a more centrist, fiscally conservative
position.
Today, the Blue Dog Coalition has shrunken to just 15 members because of political defeat,
retirements after redrawn districts left them in enemy territory and just plain exhaustion from
the constant battle to stay in office."

Luckily the Dems got rid of the "blue dog" democrats.  Now, with those pesky "blue dogs" purged from the party, this coming Tuesday, the Democrats should see a huge victory in the midterms.

In the Dem controlled first two years of the Obama admin, the problem was the Senate, not the House....
The Dems had 258 seats in the House... take away the 50 blue dogs, that leaves them with 208, they only had to sway a combination of 10 blue dogs and 'pubs to pass legislation. Everything is simple majority in the House.

Repeatedly, legislation was stalled in the Senate because the Dems couldn't overcome the 60 vote debate cutoff, which does not exist in the House.
Elimination of this rule did not require a 60 vote count, just a simple majority. Harry Reid eliminated it for nominee debate:
http://www.buzzfeed.com/katenocera/harry-reid-prepares-to-go-nuclear

He just didn't have the will to eliminate it for legislation...who's fault is that?

The Blue Dogs were replaced by Republicans... Not Democrats... But Cissy already knew that.

So it's easier for democrats to deal with the republicans that replaced them?  Sounds like a good strategy.  Purge moderate democrats by twisting their arms to vote for Obamacare, and give up the seats to republicans.

On many issues, the Blue Dogs were no different than the Republicans who replaced them.  Which is why
Obama with Blue Dogs was not a majority for most of his legislation.
