Obviously another politician out of touch with reality, Yes these polls or whatever he calls them were not taken when hard working American people were thrown out on their azz through no fault of their own to live on half of what they were making, Ive been searching for work since the day I got dumped 15 months ago, These guys are idiots if they think otherwise.

This guy is nothing but a crook and he talks about the unemployed!!!
Hope he goes to prison where he belongs.

In 2005, a Texas court charged DeLay with criminal violations of state campaign finance laws and money laundering. DeLay pled not guilty, claiming political motivation for the charges. As of January 2010, the prosecutor has yet to bring the case before a jury. Two former senior aides to DeLay have been convicted in the Jack Abramoff scandal, and though the infamous lobbyist was closely associated with DeLay, the former congressman himself has not been legally implicated.

This shows well the contempt Republicans have for working people and their problems.

He's nothing but an extension of Sen. Bunning and Kyl.

It's sickening to realize that this is the attitute of an elected official. Reid's running a close second with his delight about 36,000 losing their jobs. I blased him for that in an email yesterday, accusing him of being out of touch with America.

Yes like the ignoramuses who think employment is all just a big “vacation”. No, it most certainly isn't, not even by the most delusional and demented stretch of a mentally ill imagination. A vacation you shortly go back to work at the end of it, same people, same commute, same job. Unemployment you go back to work at some unknown point in time after hundreds of resumes, many interviews and then you're the “new guy” all over again. The commute is all new, people all new, job duties all new. No “same “ole” routine to step back into and get yourself caught up. As the new guy you have to continually prove yourself for the next year or more. Any politician or other hostile disgruntled malcontent who thinks the unemployed are out of work because they want to be, in a bad recession like this no less, has serious mental health issues going on.

The guy has no idea what he is talking but most rep/dems politicians could care less. They are too busy sending work overseas. Telling us it is going to work out. Hey not to worry if they get beat they go to K street help write bills that hurt all of us. They get paid tons of cash to do it. Not that it matters those life time pensions and health care. They sure come in handy. What do you want they busy? lol

That's why I go for training and put out applications each day then, because I want to be unemployed after all right?
