I love how Democrats act like they aren't blocking everything from passing. It's no secret. Democrats will not pass any bills that will reflect positively on the nation. It's a fact.
If Obama asked the repubs to drop marginal rates by 10% across the board, institute a 2 year moratorium on capital gains taxation, eliminate the death tax, open ANWR, approve Keystone, and assassinate Sean Penn, I think that is something they might get on board with.
But no, all we get is more phony "jobs" bills, and the same boring keynesian top-down tax and spend commie horse crap he's been peddling the last 3 years, and which hasn't worked, and never will work.
Our economy has added jobs for over 2 years in a row. We didn't dive into a depression.
So get off it.
Giving tax breaks to the rich is NOT working. You cannot tell me that hiring more police, fireman, teachers and construction workers to build roads, bridges and buildings in this country is not going to help the economy. You are saying it would HURT the economy?
We give rich folks a tax break, and the economy tanks while they get richer and the middle class sinks.

I love how Republicans act like they aren't blocking everything from passing. It's no secret. Republicans will not pass any bills that will reflect positive on the President. It's a fact.
Because they don't agree with the policies! What are they supposed to do, just go along with it? You are complaining over something that is literally engrained in our government. Let me clue you in on something, the Democrats do the same thing when the Republicans are in the White House. That is the way it is supposed to be. A watchdog is a good thing.

You know that this Republican congress has been the worst in modern history in terms of cooperation.
Reid blocks attempt by McConnell to vote on president's jobs bill
In a lively spat on the Senate floor Tuesday, Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) attempted call up President Obama’s jobs plan for an immediate vote in the upper chamber.
However, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), who supports the legislation, blocked the vote.
By Republicans blocking the vote on Obama's repeated demands for a jobs bill, I presume you meant to say Democrat Senator Reid has blocked Obama's repeated demands for a jobs bill.
They don't give a rat's behind about the poor and middle class. The want power to help out their rich corporate buddies.
What are your thoughts about the President's numerous $40,000/plate fundraiser dinners with Hollywood elites? $40,000 a plate in the worst economy since the Great Depression. Just...wow.
The Republicans refuse to do anything positive to get the economy growing at a faster pace, since they are on a mission to make Obama a one term President. They rather see us suffer jobs loss, lower credit ratings, high employment - all to take down Obama. They are against anything that will help Obama's job bill.
Shame on you Republicans. Putting our nation in harms way for political power.
Independent thinker? LOL!
