Now the repukes are talking about not allowing anymore extensions of unemployment

[still_one]

Anyone who is unemployed, and could vote, and either didn't vote or voted for the republican, deserve that

Unfortunately, because of a lot of circumstances, many unemployed couldn't vote, or voted Democratic, and they will be suffering for this insanity

1. Well sure. I mean "the bums can just go out and get jobs", right?

Even though unemployment is in double digits.

They're in a fucking fantasy land.

7. That's what Tom Corbett says

And I have no doubt he'll try to get rid of it.

8. Corbett has a bad case of cranial-rectal inversion.

i.e., his head is jammed so far up his own ass that when he hiccups it jars his gallstones.

2. They voted against all extensions so far. This is their philosophy.

3. I cannot believe the stupidity of the American people, especially in those midwest states that have

been hit so hard

4. Instead of funding unemployment extensions why didn't we use those funds to hire people to rebuild

our country's infrastructure. This is what we should have done instead of paying unemployment which produces no goods nor services.

We need a WPA program for the unemployed.

6. What don't you understand about unemployment benefits?

They are paid in to and they are to be used as benefits. We can add funds for infrastructure, but not by taking away unemployment benefits.

5. Let's see how long the House can hold up...

Step 1: Senate passes unextension.

Step 2: Same bill introduced in House. Of course, the Orange One will table it.

Step 3: Obama loudly stamps his feet, says "Millions of people are unemployed and need benefits now! What's the holdup?"

Shep 4: Watch GOP poll numbers go down the toilet...

9. I wonder if they realize that of the 11 Democrats who voted

against extending unemployment benefits, 8 of them lost.

Maybe we should start a movement the sole purpose of which is to flood their phone lines each time they do something like this and THANK THEM for making getting rid of them in 2012 easier. A sort of 'enjoy your short stay' movement.
