AND IT ALL ENDS WITH “CREATE JOBS”
Amazingly, the Republican-Teahadists have the nerve to put that little tag at the end of every pronouncement, every interview, every comment when they haven’t done anything to create jobs; on the contrary; their efforts seems very transparent: it is to actually destroy them.
After the November 2010 election, when Democrats were “shellacked” the American public voted to have all these “fresh” new faces with promises of new ideas and a noble purpose. The voters so far have not gotten any of that. Instead, what they have been regaled with is a series of partisan, culture war, ideological bull shit that the Republican-Tehadists are dishing out in their newly found majority of Congress…but nothing about jobs. On the contrary; it is all about sabotaging the Obama administration and standing in the way of recovery…recovery from a mess they created in the first place and are unwilling to own.
I would like to ask these Republican-Teahadists what part of JOBS, JOBS, JOBS they don’t understand…it is clear that the American people wanted that and they voted so this could be accomplished not so that the Republicans keep sabotaging the economy, going against labor unions and some of the old, tired culture war issues like gays in the military, abortion and the like…The American people ought to be fed up with these antics and if I can calibrate the general feeling out there I would say that with the exception of those die-hard conservatives the American voter is going to deny the Republicans any more victories any time soon.

It is bizarre. For these Republicans, cutting spending is an end in itself. If it costs jobs, well, as House Speaker John Boehner said, "So be it." Amazingly, the Republicans don’t even mention that the reason for any and all budgetary shortfalls is their insistence in cutting taxes or extending them to the very rich and the corporations.
SO BE IT? YOU ARE A HEARTLESS, INCONSIDERATE, INCOMPETENT PUPPET OF THE SUPER RICH MR. BOEHNER.

Today Republicans in Ohio, taking a page from Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker's union-busting book, voted to strip collective bargaining rights for thousands of public employees with the passage of S.B. 5, which passed out of the Senate labor committee on a 7-5 vote despite the growing opposition to the bill:
