Related: About this forumRepublicans will not extend unemployment benefits for 4 million...
You would think that if this actually ends up being the case, What percentage of these 4 million will still vote Red next september??? Even in the end if they reinstate all or part of the benefits, one would think that these people would be so pissed that they would never vote for a Repuke again. That these 4 million will take revenge on these bastards!!
What is it with the this loyalty to politicians who are so hateful that they would take food off the table from so many who are already struggling?
Do they just equate these type of benefits with people who are just takers except they are the exception?

(347 posts)Well, you must understand that when R's control and a democrat holds the highest office, of course they're going to be conservatives. I never heard any of this conservatism when Bush served two terms, he was like a skid row wino that just couldn't get enough, and now, conservatives are suddenly conservative, go figure.

Rosa Luxemburg
(28,627 posts)I just heard on the Ed Show that congress is about to go home without putting a bandaid on unemployment benefits extension/s. I'm so pissed, I could spit bullets. No wonder this congress has the absolute lowest approval rating in history. Aren't there any Democrats in congress with a spine anymore to keep these repuglicons from going home and doing nothing to help people?
