    Treasonous, every fucking one of them. Major kudos, however, to Scott Brown of Massachusetts, Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe of Maine and Dean Heller of Nevada who put country before party.

    penalizing companies moving jobs offshore won't help.

    do you know what would?

    making the american workforce actually competitive in a global economy.


    this is akin to when playing coed basketball in grade school, having to pass to a girl before you're allowed to shoot a basket.

    I hate congress, replace them all. Put in laws so you can't ammend bills to add shit that has nothing to do with the bill and put in a congress that will work together not bicker like twelve year old children over the last slice of pizza.

    no guys, job creators create jobs in other countries, so that they can then afford to buy the shit that they are now making, which helps rich people buy more companies to dismantle

    all we have to do is wait until america is a 3rd world country, then we will start to get some jobs back

    The government is currently working very hard to meet this goal.

    GHW Bush promised, "read my lips, no new taxes" during his first campaign. Once elected, he saw bill after bill from the Democratic congress with a tax hike in them.

    I think he set a record for vetoes. Then the Democrats had him over a barrel on some issue, a Bill he could not veto. They beat him over the head with the going against his pledge in the next election and he lost. They also tanked the economy so he had a recession to deal with.

    Bush had a sky high job approval rating well into his presidency. So high that the big name/quality democratic presidential contenders wouldn't even run against him. That's how we got the governor of a small southern state, Bill Clinton, as the nominee.
