The Next Step: The Republicans Will Vote Against Creating Jobs
Just in time for the 2012 election. Meanwhile, some bridges will start creaking, etc.

If the American people vote republican in the face of them being uncompromisingly hateful toward the common citizen, then I don't know what to tell you.

1. The Republicans have been voting against creating jobs
since Obama was elected in 2008.

3. Yeah but this time it will be highlighted. The stage has been set.
After all the things that have been done, people on both sides, are fiercely concerned about jobs.

It is the issue now. Everyone and their mama agrees that something must be done to create jobs.

4. You mean at our peril.
They are so committed to making sure Obama fails, that they will take us all right over the cliff to do so. That's been proven.

They can't help themselves. They will vote against any jobs bill proposed by the democrats.

5. Watch for it: the Media has to concoct a good reason to do so

Sure they'll vote against anything that creates jobs or eases economic pain for middle America. That's no surprise.

The really hilarious part is how the propaganda arms of the GOP will maneuver in their defense.

> the American people vote republican in the face of them being uncompromisingly hateful toward the common citizen

This is status quo, and it's pretty much the job of certain media outlets to ensure that it stays this way. In 2012, if Obama wins a second term, or the Democrats retake the house or remain a majority in the senate, it will have to be done without the help of media whores and their johns.

6. Yeah but this time it's not going to work.
People will see the disconnect between what the media is telling them, and what they feel. They have already gotten upset about the Ryan plan when they discovered it was everybody's benefits, not just brown peoples, that they are fucking with.

Now, when it's proposed to do something about our crumbling infrastructure, people are going to get pissed when republicans get in the way.

I think the issue is so big, we might just win the whole kit and kaboodle in 2012.

7. The issue will be public sector vs. private sector jobs.
Democrats will not want to make concessions to business to make the US a more attractive place to do business. Republicans will not want to increase employment in the public sector. Result? More gridlock

9. Yep yep. More gridlock.
The democrats have the money for job creation since the debt ceiling got increased.

At some point the American people will really really and finally get fed up with "gridlock".

That's why I say we may win the whole kit and kaboodle. Maybe people will realize that for once, in the climate that we now live in, the democratic party needs dominating control of the house and the senate. That's the only way any business is going to get done for the common citizen.

8. I also believe that Obama has snowballed them yet again.
The democrats have to be working on a jobs bill. Seems to me there should be a fierce race between democrats and republicans to be the first to produce such a bill. If the republicans let the democrats be first in the gate, they're in trouble.

Lot of people moaning about Congress and the President being on vacation. I think they are lulling the republicans to sleep and working on some job proposals.

I can hear them holler now, "we just gave him a 2.4 trillion dollar check and he's using it to create jobs (i.e. "grow government")
