Democrats Defend Cutting Jobless Benefits
Edited on Thu Dec-22-11 04:06 PM by MzNov
Of all the things that make me enraged about so-called Democrats, this crap makes me the most crazy:

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/12/22/unemployment-benefits_n_1165459.html


and these old bastards are going to get away with it in the end. there will be "compromises" and excuses, but in the end, those of us who are trying like crazy to find employment (and even those who are not trying so hard) will get screwed.

Ah, so what else is new, eh?

:grr:

1. DU3 told me that they had to, and that is the adult thing to do.
If you say otherwise, you are subject to have your post hidden.

8. oh you are not tnlefty!

:rofl: old no, goofy, yes.

The clowns have been in now for quite some time. Driving their little clown cars all around D.C. pretending they are actually seriously helping anyone in this country just by their presence there. Washington, District of Clowns. get it, D.C.

See ya later at Malloy! :hug:

18. Hmmmm. I think of myself more like Garfield without the
urge to smack spiders with newspapers! I do let spiders live in the house! :evilgrin: Smartass, yes!

Although you took the clown reference and went with it like a champ. :bravo: :hug: Yes, those democrats bug the hell out of me, so being a smartass, with a dose of dark humor thrown in helps me to get through.

On a threadjacking note, HAC and I were watching Fatal Attractions on Animal Planet, and she's seen a black jaquar, tigers, and she always perks up when she sees and hears the big cats. The mr. is home today, and he even noticed her outside strutting around, stalking...he mentioned that she didn't need to watch that anymore. :rofl: She stalks us in the house after she's seen the big cats, playfully, but he mentioned, 'she now thinks that she can kill us in our sleep.'

Not so much, but she is striped and seems to enjoy seeing tiger most of all! :bounce: :hug:

16. Operative words being "OUR money"
We need to organize to kick every sick SOB who votes against the workers and the poor OUT in 2012. No exceptions. If the 1% won't agree to spend more of OUR money (most of them don't even pay taxes) on OUR needs, then the French Revolution option will be one that they will need to consider. It doesn't need to come to that, but it's their choice.

14. It's actual smugness.
This has become an all too familiar look on the face of wealthy politicians. They act as if they deserve their millions of dollars.

10. BTW: Our Dems are caught up in the Web of Neoliberalism...they want
Edited on Thu Dec-22-11 07:19 PM by KoKo
the "Old DLC and Clinton and they still are stuck in that. Meanwhile the whole Country (called America) is dying...and what's upsetting is that they don't seem to recognize their failed policies that by buying into "Neo-Liberal Philosophy" we have doomed ourselves. No matter HOW MANY DRONES WE FLY...and the rest of the MIC Policies...the WORLD MOVES ON...and Underclasses are Striking Out against the Oppression!

They just don't get it...they need to change their Models. They just DO NOT GET IT! What we "Out Here" are going through.

12. Amen Brother, that's just what the problem is - neoliberalism.
Also known as Reaganomics. Our Democratic President, and most of our Democratic members of Congress, have bought into it.
