Stabenow, whose state of Michigan has the second-highest unemployment in the country, did not mince words. “The Republicans in the Senate want this economy to fail,” she said bluntly. “In cynical political terms, it doesn’t serve them if things turn around (in the economy).”It's not an emergency if the Republicans all think those 15 million are lazy union/minority parasites who probably vote Democratic in elections. After all, since all Republican voters are hard working Real Americans, none of them have lost their jobs, right?
Stabenow charged that Democrats have changed the bill over and over to pick up votes from Republicans, and they keep changing the minds on what needs to be cut. As it stands, the only thing in the bill that isn’t paid for is the extension of unemployment benefits, but that has historically been labeled emergency spending in a time of high unemployment. Said Stabenow, “If 15 million people without jobs isn’t an emergency, what is?”
Only terrorists have to worry about losing civil liberties. You're not a terrorist, are you?
Only illegal immigrants have to worry about Arizona's law. You're not an illegal immigrant, are you?
Only people going to hell for homosexuality have to worry about a gay marriage ban. You're not gay, are you?
Only unemployed social parasites have to worry about losing unemployment benefits. You're not a parasite, are you?
The Real American is redefined yet again by the GOP. Real Americans don't have anything to worry about. It's the Others who have to worry...and in the eyes of Republicans, they don't count as Americans anyhow.

if over $13 trillion in debt isn't a call to tighten your belt, what is?
yeah, to hell with everybody who isn't wafflez! to hell with anybody who doesn't have enough free time to surf the net trolling liberal blogs all day! nothing wrong with a good belt-tightening! AS LONG AS IT'S NOT AROUND MY WAIST OR NECK. goddamned disgusting jerk-ass.
Actually as usual t-man you overlook the satire and miss the point.
The underlying point which I've made in plenty of comments around the blog is that deficit spending is going to cause problems down the road. The Democrats even realized this at the start of the year when they instituted PayGo, then chose not to follow it. Obama realized it and instituted a spending freeze, that was a laughing stock...
So again what have you brought to the conversation? Ranting that shows you can't accept someone disagreeing with your ideologue rather than even trying to have a substantive debate (which I'm guessing at this point you can't because that would involve READING) you rant
t-man = sad
