In today’s “Weekly Republican Address,” House Republican Leader John Boehner asks, “Where are the jobs?”
It’s a good question. After all, to justify spending trillions of borrowed money on President Obama’s so-called stimulus, energy and health care bills, Obama and the Democrats promised the unprecedented spending would create jobs:
The president and Democrats in Congress claim this spending binge is necessary to put Americans back to work. They promised unemployment would not rise above 8 percent if their trillion-dollar stimulus was passed.
But our nation has lost nearly three million jobs this year. Unemployment has soared above 9 percent. And now the president admits that unemployment will soon reach double digits.
After all of this spending, after all of this borrowing from China, the Middle East, our children and our grandchildren, where are the jobs?”Where are the jobs?”
You can watch Leader Boehner’s address in the following video:
Here’s another question. Why do Congressional Democrats continue to pursue economic, health care, energy, and environmental policies that will destroy more American jobs and drive future generations into deeper debt?

I agree with Boehner, but how can
izoneguy Saturday, June 27th at 2:05PM EDT (link)the Republicans build any credibility when 8 of them go and vote YES on Cap & Trade?
What will it take?
Another Great Depression so the Republicans can point at Obama and say “I told you so?”
Where is Michael Steele?
The politicians have failed us.
It’s time to take to the streets, we can’t wait until the next election.
The congress people that are in session need a wake-up call.
They can’t say the people have requested me to vote NO and then vote YES. What kind of representation is that?

If these 8 republicans would have voted know the Cap & Trade would have been dead in it’s tracks. 3 here, 8 there, soon it is 11 then 15 then 32…..
Boehner did a piss poor job in holding the line.

'Where are the jobs?'
djemi Saturday, June 27th at 2:07PM EDT (link)That’s easy, there being shipped overseas and ‘their trillion-dollar stimulus’ has been designed to create jobs in 11 and 12 so BO has a better chance of getting that 2nd term, you know the one where he gets to raise all mof those taxes to pay off all of that intrest.
As for why the Congressional Democrats want to destory all of those American jobs is in the hope that these newly unemployed poeple want vote for the party thjat wants to cut the benifit rolls. That and the fact that if they overload the system, it might fail and then they can impose that facist state that they so desirer.

Slogan
wgsampson Saturday, June 27th at 2:15PM EDT (link)For those old enough to remember the old Wendy’s slogan,”Where’s the Beef?”, this should do nicely. Every time Obama says he has “created or saved” 10 million or however meny jobs, simply respond “Where’re the jobs?”. Every time the MSM parrots O’s lies, respond the same way. Every time some cool-aid drinking idiot on the street says how great the dear leader is, say the same thing, “Where’re the jobs?”.
This could catch on quick, and go along way. Everytime the jobless report goes up a notch - say it. Everytime somebody mentions porkulus or cap and trade (assuming it passes the Senate - which it will) - say it. People will get tired of it, but they will have to wonder also.
“Where’re the jobs?”
Jobs are being created for a new movie in development.............
Kenny Solomon Saturday, June 27th at 2:18PM EDT (link)A Holocaust movie…… starring Britney Spears…….What could go wrong ?
http://www.spiegel.de/international/zeitgeist/0,1518,632338,00.html
Spears, who is currently in the process of successfully resuscitating her recently languishing music career with her global “Circus” tour, is reportedly reviewing a script for a film tentatively titled “The Yellow Star of Sophia and Eton.”
The flick would see her playing a character named Sophia LaMont who travels back in time to fall in love with a Jewish concentration camp prisoner named Eton. In a tricky critique of ongoing anti-Semitism, the script concludes with the lovebirds travelling back to the present day before being killed by Nazis.
===============
My only question is, will Obama get a part in this like he had in the new Transformers movie ?
Nothing out of Hollywood surprises me……. Nothing.

Watch for them to say 'saving jobs'
jeepnpat1 Saturday, June 27th at 3:20PM EDT (link)Yep, another BS train has left the station. Just wait to hear them spin this going forward stating that they saved jobs instead of creating them.
I want to know from Mr Boehner how he lost 8 constituents in the Republican party to this passing of the bill. If we would have had a complete Republican concensus that would have just been enough votes to not allow this bill to go through. How is it that we have had the Republicans in the House stand together, united on other bills and not this one?
If there is some sweet-heart deal going on with the 8 who went against conservatism then we as the people deserve to know the facts and to know who they conspired with.

The 8 Republican Yes Votes
amigag Saturday, June 27th at 7:04PM EDT (link)I agree that these 8 need to be held accountable. There is no excuse nor reason for this. However, I am not sure that I would agree that without their 8 votes the bill would not have passed. I would like more information on how the votes (all votes) are taken. Were there any votes changed? How can we assume that if these Republican votes were NO, that the Democrats that voted NO, would not have changed their votes to Yes? If I am not mistaken, all of the Democrats voted Against all of the Republican amendments that were put forth.
I don’t understand how the votes are called etc & tallied; but I would need to see a time line, (as time of each vote) before I would believe the final vote is entirely the Republican’s fault. I am NOT excusing them at all, just would someone with more experience clarify this for me? Thank you. I am new posting here & can’t follow the “reply to this” sucessfully. Thanks
Try keeping up; it's been discussed extensively

His last name made it into the lexicon as meaning traitor or collaborator, a fitting term for those 8 “Republicans”.

Thanks to both you and Neil.

1) What is the make up of their home districts?
2) What did they get out of the bill for said district?
3) Do they get another chance to get it right?
4) Is it just a ploy by the R Leadership to see who the dems think are not worth saving?
And then a Question about the site, How do you do this

DONTREADONME Saturday, June 27th at 11:20PM EDT (link)I believe I saw an analysis linked to by someone here, I can not remember, that showed the biggest beneficiaries of the system instituted by this bill would be California, New Jersey, Delaware and New York. Let me see if I can find that map of the United States that showed the natural benefits to those states and the effects to the other states like Texas, this bill will cost taxpayers something like 1Billion. As I said, let me see if I can find it.

As to procedures in terms of voting in the House, I think they’ve pretty much taken all the rules out and shot them in the head. So, you know, guess we can just make loose stuff up as we go along and it will be just as procedurally accurate as these lying, thieving skunks.
