The latest comes from TP national Melissa Brookstone, who wants small businesses to stop hiring people until Obama's "war" against their businesses and their country ends.

Quote:
I, an American small business owner, part of the class that produces the vast majority of real, wealth producing jobs in this country, hereby resolve that I will not hire a single person until this war against business and my country is stopped.

I hereby declare that my job creation potential is now ceased.

There's very little hiring going on anyway so does that mean their campaign will be a success ?

Can't say I blame them. That's all obama has done for months and months now - either attack or blame business for his failed policies.

all obama has to do to see who is to blame for his failed policies is to look in his mirror.

Show me where in the OP the right to boycott is called into question. Simply reporting a story does not equal taking away someones right. Why are you against my right to post links to the story?

I don't understand the "liberal" bashing, the Democrat or Republican thing? From my leather chair it seems, except for Obamacare, Busch is still in power...I mean, the same wars are going on, we just bombed Libya...and the neo-cons, pro-Israel nuts are drumming for war in Iran.

What in the world would be so different right now if a Republican would've been elected? I think things would be near the same, unless it would've been a Dr. Paul elected...then WE would've had real change. Otherwise it's business as usual, leading me more and more to believe there simply is something sinister behind the scenes that actually runs this country.

Democrats and Republicans, two idiots fighting in the street over a brick of gold. While a sinister bystander has already picked it up and is walking blocks away with it.

Lets work together and find the bystander who ripped both of us off, and hang them for Treason? I could see Thomas Jefferson being proud of that statement, but not proud of We The People doing nothing about it.
