KO has a new closing:

[Dennis Donovan]

"X days since the Republican takeover of congress. Mr Boehner, where are the jobs?!?"

:rofl:

[babylonsister]

1. I love it! Rec'd!

:hi:

[Bitwit1234]

46. We were posting about that today .

Not that Keith was going to use that, we didn't know. But facebook has a page up asking the same thing. I think we should all call as many times a day as we can and ask the same thing. No good to email, they junk em. And I found out the do the same with letters. You either have to go in person or call. I think the chinless wonder who like hands in the pants McConnell should be called daily.

[Mimosa]

2. Cool!!! Love it. n/t

[Oceansaway]

LOL...n/t.....

[gateley]

3. He was wonderful tonight -- ruthless! nt

[Auggie]

4. Perfect

[nadinbrzezinski]

5. Well they said that jobs would be here

I have been asking since oh 'bout 10:30 PST last night.

[deminks]

6. Aquabuddhaman has no intention of improving the job situation

and I quote directly from many of his speeches including his very strange victory speech last night: "Government does not create jobs. It is up the the entrepreneurs. The sooner we realize that, the better off we will be."

Do you hear that Amurika? He has no intention of helping you get a job. None. Zip. Nada.

[Stellar]

44. Didn't he take secret monies from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce?

If so, he's got to pay up, like it or not. Welcome to Washington Mr. Paul. You're stuck now in the same machine. :)

[Taverner]

53. He, like all Capitalists, want the labor market to be brutal

He wants workers DESPERATE

Willing to work for less than the competition

There is a section in Steinbeck's Grapes of Wrath that explains it all

I call this the $10 hooker solution

He, like most of the GOP, wants hookers to only be $10

How do you do that, make the hookers as desperate as possible

[JuniperLea]

7. They take their seats in January...

Dammit! ... pft! They should have had the economy fixed LAST NIGHT, we should have ZERO unemployment THIS MORNING!!!

[moonbatmax]

28. Hey, the only reason...

...we gave Obama 'til his inauguration to bring about change
was because Chimpy and The Brain had f'd things over THAT BAD!!!


EDIT: Chimpy and The Brain... wish I'd thought of that six years ago...

[verges]

56. Chimpy and the Brain, Brain, Brain, Brain...

Chimpy: What do you want to do tonight, Brain?
Brain: Samething we do every night, Chimpy. Try to take over the world!!
Chimpy: NARF!!!


ETA: NARF

[Patsy Stone]

8. LOL

I think he read my mind. I had planned to start asking a Republican who sits next to me how many jobs were created since I last saw her.

:patriot:, KO!

[Tatiana]

9. I love it! That should be our #1 question from now on.

"Speaker Boehner, where are the jobs?"

[bobbolink]

19. Which Dem do you think is going to do that?

[Thav]

22. I could see Grayson doing it.

It'd be amusing as all hell.

[bobbolink]

23. He hadn't really done that in his two years, except by example, but I agree he is the most

likely.

That's why I would like to see him in a position to be able to really let loose, but I don't see that happening.

And I will also say that Grayson never spoke up for me and the millions of poor people. He could have used his strength to do that, but he never did. :(

[lordsummerisle]

10. What happened

to Worst Person In The World?

[gkhouston]

13. I think it just got a LOT shorter and incorporated into his signoff!

:rofl:

[MattyGroves]

25. He dumped it as a concession to the Stewart / Colbert Rally

Even tongue in cheek it was kind of a stupid title since towards the end it become a pissing match between him vs. Bill O and Hannity.

[Rhiannon12866]

11. Job creation was my congressman's signature issue.

He's managed to create at least 1000 jobs in the district in the 14 months he's been in office. He lost yesterday to a teabagger. ;(

[renate]

42. that's just not right

Not fair at all. :( What a rude reward for a job well done.

I think "What we have here is a failure to communicate" is the motto of the 2010 elections. So much good was done in the past two years, but although Democrats should have been crowing over their achievements we never heard much about them over the din of the other side's obnoxious and fact-free slogans.

[Rhiannon12866]

57. From the GOTV calls I made for him, I believe it's the misinformed who are to blame.

He voted for health care reform and his opponent managed to scare senior citizens because of that. I went to their debate and the red-shirted opposition was there in force, outside with signs, disrupting during the debate and standing up and walking out early because the congressman had the last word. And they were mostly senior citizens! What part of health care reform don't you get?! And we know that older voters tend to come out for the midterms... :(

And I totally agree with you about the message. On Lawrence O'Donnell tonight, they listed the accomplishments of this administration, so far, but most people are completely unaware of them, since they're not publicized, like the invisible tax cuts. And when I called people, many said that they were still "undecided..." And this was on the weekend before the election! So I'd ask if I could answer their questions, but the typical response was "I'm fine" and a hang up. :banghead:

[progressoid]

12. Uh, they don't take control for another 11 weeks.

[ClassWarrior]

14. If someone says the sky is blue, some progressive will say it's azure.

:rofl:

I love my fellow progressives as much as life itself, but sometimes we're an annoying lot.

NGU.

[Politicub]

21. I heard that!

I'll join your in your :rofl:

:kick:

[moonbatmax]

29. Hey, that graphic in your sig...

Is it the same percentage it was a few days ago?
I don't remember what it showed, then,
but I figure it OUGHT to be a few notches, back, now... :evilgrin:

[Ruby the Liberal]

15. Sweet!! k&r

[blondeatlast]

16. *roffle* nt

[reggie the dog]

17. is that photo of yours

from revenge of the nerds????

[DRex]

26. It's from Flight of the Conchords

Only the best comedy tv show ever! Specifically, the pic is from this musical segment:

[Hawkeye-X]

18. That is great - this is a replay of Limbaugh's "Americans Held Hostage" XDays during the Clinton yea

so fuck the thugs.

[AndrewP]

50. That MotherFucker was doing that from the day after election in 1992

[Politicub]

20. OH, snap!!! Loves me some Keith.

[AspenRose]

24. And there has been a Facebook Page made asking the same question

6700 since the end of the election and counting

http://www.facebook.com/SpeakerBoehner

This is also excellent

[DemocraticPilgrim]

27. Well done KO he must of read my post. We have to never relent on the jobs front and then we WIN. n/

[sledgehammer]

30. Hmmm, not sure about this

1) Republicans have not taken over yet, it doesn't happen till January.

2) If the unemployment rate starts dropping over the next two years (which it probably will without any help from the Repugs), this tagline will backfire.

He could have been more creative.

[katnapped]

35. And yet...

They had no problem bitching and moaning the day after Obama was elected

Sorry turnabout is fair play.

[laughingliberal]

39. Yep. nt

[laughingliberal]

40. I think he was more than creative enough. Some here hate it when a real Dem fights. nt

[SemperEadem]

52. that's not the issue

the moment 7pm PST hit on November 4, 2008 and the west coast put him over the top in electoral votes, fux began the meme that this was a center right country. The signal had not made it around the world before that shit was coming out of their mouths.

It doesn't matter if it's preposterous to say that. It's the perception being created in the telling of it. Some of them are still in office and there are still many things to do before power/control does flip.

We stick a failing economy on the thugs because the ways they want to handle it is to go back to the failed bush policies. They have nothing but retread. Badly worn retread. NOW is the time to start the drum beat--when they're still resting and bloviating on their laurels, thinking that we're not coming for them--that we have no enthusiasm or stomach for a fight.

This stuff we're talking about doing here is called "chumming the water".

[Hestia]

31. Love it! I am going to start calling my "new" Senator and ask him where are the jobs every week.

Hey, I'll give him as long as he gave President Obama.

[BumRushDaShow]

34. Touche!

:rofl:

:applause:

[Plucketeer]

36. DAT'S COOL!

Gitum, Keith!

EDIT: the picture below, shows the
result of a GOP jobs program. ALL
regulation encumbrances off, it'll
set the stage for kids producing
driveway stone with stone age tools.

[Gore1FL]

37. The only problem I foresee

Is that employment is on the rise and this is a good way for the GOP to claim it as their own.

[SemperEadem]

55. actually... if any of that growth is a result

of any of the policies that were put in place before the thugs took control, then when they do pop up claiming it as their own, you strike them with "you accepted evil Stimulus money" as "earmarks" for your district and "pork" for your "pet projects" and your "rich corporate friends"... "it's more of the same and the deficit is blown for generations to come".

you can turn anything into a device.

[fadedrose]

38. Wonderful irreplaceable Keith.......eom

[laughingliberal]

41. I love it! K&R. nt

[Stellar]

43. I think he should count them as they materialize at the end of his show.

:thumbsup: The new patriots. :patriot:

[deacon]

47. Fire Boehner! n/t

[defendandprotect]

48. AND... that is the Q we should all be asking ... not whether anyone is "finding" a job.....

because there are NO jobs --

We have to overturn these trade agreements --

and use what resources we do have not for expanding our presence in Afghanistan --

$500 million+ for Embassy there remodeling -- to EXPAND GREEN JOBS IN AMERICA!!

Not nuclear power plants -- where we're subsidizing the industry with tens of billions

in loans -- but actual GREEN JOBS!!


Thanks KO!

:)

[susanwy]

49. Add a few more questions to that...

Posted by a friend on FB:

The Republicans won a bunch of seats. Does that mean the economy is now fixed? Is my 401k is going to be worth the paper its printed on? Is my neighbor's house now worth more than they owe? WHAT!?!? What do you mean I have to WAIT!??! I WANT IT ALL FIXED NOW!!!!! Oh, that's right, it took that Republican president 8 ye...ars to completely tank the economy, I guess I can give this Republican house a few days to fix it.

[SemperEadem]

51. for real, though!

I mean, damn! The election was two days ago.. why are they dragging their feet?

[City Lights]

54. That's perfect!

Plus, all the 'trickle down' evaporates before it reaches me! x(
