Nah, GfinS... This ain't about olive branches... It's about coming to a gun fight without a gun... This thread is about the tactics used by the Tea Party and the radical policies they are trying to force on the majority of America... If all one can do is parrot bumper sticker length policy positions that the Tea party and their masters put out there then that is just like the not taking the gun to the gun fight...

Many of us here are well educated and well read and are paying attention to the madness that the radical right is in the process of trying to ***impose*** on our country which to outsiders looks exactly like that: madness... Radical fringe groups should not have the power to wreck our economy... That is why the American people are pissed at Congress... It is being held hostage by these radical who came into power on one big issue: jobs!!! Not deficits... Not turning all the attention to defeating Obama!!! It was "jobs, jobs, jobs" in the 2010 election but once in power they pulled off th3e sheep clothing and told *US* that they were voted in to disrupt the American government???

In other words: They Lied!!!

Now they have disrupted the American government hoping that in doing so they can defeat Obama but no where in sight are their either ***jobs*** or the talk of ***jobs***... Might of fact, all leading economists tell *US* that the Tea Party policy positions will destroy millions of ***jobs***...

Last month the private sector added 58,000 jobs but with the cuts, cuts, cuts that the Tea Party had pushed on *US* we lost over 40,000 jobs... That left *US* with a net gain of less than 20,000 when all leading economists say we need 200,000 a month to cut into the 8,000,000 ***jobs*** that were lost during the Bush years...

BTW, we're not talking about hiring government employees here... We are talking about investing in fixing out crumbling infrastructure which is done primarily by private contractors...

Never mind... I am talking to a tree...
