12. ..as republicans are dancing in the streets...

Jun 2012

only in their cynical and twisted world could 70 thousand new jobs be construed as "failure'. The republicans took control of the House in 2010 with a 3 word mantra of "Jobs, jobs, jobs" but have refused to put up one single jobs bill. They have done everything they can do to sabotage the American economy, first by cutting as many state government jobs that they could in states that they control.

I have never seen it so bad in my 56 years living in this once great country. To THINK, that a party would do everything they could do to try and bring down the other party, regardless of the pain and suffering that it causes to 10's of millions of Americans is something that was simply out of the question-it could NEVER happen-well I was wrong.

We need to run these tea party assholes OUT of office in November and get control of the House, keep control of the senate and have Obama wipe the floor with the gutless, soulless, cretin that is Mitt Romney.
