The Jobs Act. Oh boy! With a name like that, it must be good. This my friends, is the typical mindset of your average Democrat voter. Perhaps you folks need to actually read what's in the bill before getting all gung ho on passing it. Oh wait, your party leader advised this isn't necessary.

What are some parts of the bill that would make me cringe? For those who don't know me here, I'm an Indepedent who is a fiscal conservative and social liberal, I don't see where this bill had anything that would've made me go against it especially at that point in time. It would begin fixing the corporate tax-rate, giving tax-credits to hire people, modernize America, create an infrastructure bank, and much, much more. Of course there would be pork in the bill, but overall it seems like something conservatives would've loved and Democrats should've loved it as well considering it came from the President.
Dems only hold power in the Senate not in the House to get things down one party needs to control both the house and the Senate This is another reason why Republicans are not helping Obama
Obama is still president nobody voted for Republicans to do nothing they want them to help get the economy moving and they are not. So why does the GOP only have a 14% to 17% approval if voters loved them for doing nothing there approval rating would be much higher than Obama right now
In 2010, Democrats lost the House in a landslide defeat.
Now you would like the Republicans to forget who sent them to Washington because 1 in 5 Americans think Obama should be President?
Well, according to that logic, even less a percentage of Americans want the GOP in power. So pretty much you're arguing that nobody can do anything, ever unless more Americans get out and vote.

Yes, America is deeply divided between net tax payers and net recipients.
As a net payer, I would prefer that the party representing the net recipients be permitted to do nothing if it means spending more money we don't have and passing the bill along to our kids.

That doesn't really address my point. When I pointed out that using votes as a percentage of the total population makes the GOP even less popular than the Democrats, you've seem to have responded by simply adopting a completely different standard.
If you were going to do that, why bring up what percentage of the total population (are you counting children too?) votes for the Democrats?
I would say because even those in the party center would vote for it after his shovel ready stimulus in which he promised to keep unemployment at 7% and create huge numbers of jobs while renewing massive amount of infrastructure.
