In 200+ Days The House GOP Has Voted To Kill 1.9 Million Jobs And Created 0
http://btco.newsvine.com/_news/2011/07/26/7169721-in-200-days-the-house-gop-has-voted-to-kill-19-million-jobs-and-created-0

It has been 202+ days since Republicans took back control of the House and promised to create jobs. During this time they have passed legislation that killed 1.9 million jobs and created 0.

The day after the GOP took base the House, John Boehner said, “As you heard me say last night, we are humbled by the trust that the American people have placed in us and we recognize this is a time for us to roll up our sleeves and go to work on the people’s priorities: creating jobs, cutting spending and reforming the way Congress does its business. It’s not just what the American people are demanding — it’s what they are expecting from us.”

We are a little past the 200 day mark and the House GOP have yet to pass a bill that would create a single job. The only spending they are willing to slash is related to the poor, the disabled, women, Social Security and Medicare, but they have changed the way that the Congress does business by being so hardline that House of Representatives is irrelevant as a policy making body and has become an obstacle to agreement on even the most basic of legislation.

labor in the world. The republicans do not give a F about creating jobs, it's been bullshit from day one. The republican party is a disease, an incurable disease and like a cancer their goal is to destroy the host, this country.

9. That is a good question. The other day I was joking with someone that we've
had an alien invasion and just haven't realized it yet. It reminds me of the pods in "Invasion of the Body Snatchers."

11. Yeah, it's a really good movie, was done in 1956.
"In 1994, Invasion of the Body Snatchers was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". In June 2008, the American Film Institute revealed its "Ten top Ten" — the best ten films in ten "classic" American film genres — after polling over 1,500 people from the creative community. Invasion of the Body Snatchers was acknowledged as the ninth best film in the science fiction genre. The film also placed number 47 on AFI's 100 Years... 100 Thrills, a list of America's most heart-pounding films."

7. Yep, they are the terrorists IMO. Anymore, I'm more concerned about the
republicans destroying this country from within than any outside threats.

America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.

Put the drink down and go outside and hire someone, just so you can finally say you've created ONE job! It will be the first positive thing done by the GOP, EVER.
