Today Republican US Senators SILENTLY filibustered ANOTHER Obama/Congressional Democrat jobs bill just because they don’t want the wealthy to pay their fair share of taxes. The bill “known as the Small Business Jobs and Tax Relief Act would provide a 10 percent income tax credit for businesses that hire new employees or increase wages in 2012.”

Let me get this straight. Romney, Tea Partied Republican House Representatives, Tea Partied Republican US Senators and other Tea Partied Republican politicos keep on repeating the SCRIPT that "President Obama is doing nothing to improve the economy “. If that’s the case, why are Tea Partied Republican House Representatives, Tea Partied Republican US Senators, Tea Partied Republican governors and Tea Partied Republican state legislators the only one’s NOT improving the economy?

Every single Tea Partied Republican “Stimulus hasn’t worked” (their words not mine), congressional member voted against President Obama’s Stimulus, but they asked for, received AND spent stimulus monies for jobs in their states acting as if they were the ones responsible for creating those jobs. The Tea Partied House leadership won’t allow the President’s Jobs Bill to come before the floor of the House for a vote. Tea Partied US Senators SILENTLY filibustered the President’s Jobs Bill so that it can’t come before the floor of the Senate for a vote. Tea Partied Republican governors and state legislators are legislating away workers’ rights; firing teachers, police officers and firefighters; stripping away social services for women, children, senior citizens, veterans, college students, the disabled and the poor; denying life-saving, job creating Affordable Health Care Act funding for their constituents; shutting down educational opportunities for middle class and poor students while they TRANSFER savings from those cuts to provide big time tax breaks for big time corporations and enforce voter suppression laws. Now the Tea Partied Republican “job killers” (their words, not mine) want to add small businesses to the “break Obama” (their words not mine) agenda – pop, pop, fizz, fizz!
