I feel your pain Jill61. I can no longer pity their ignorance, Tea Party is both brainless AND greedy. They are unconscionable

Truth is the only option now. Enabling Tea Party bullies doesn't work.

Your *truth*, ladies, is a lie and we all see it. The hate is coming from your side, not ours.

More rhetoric. Explain yourselves, logically, who are you really for, and what are your policies, if any?

Loathe as you will, but also include those who have given away the store with little or no positive results. America cannot borrow and spend its way to prosperity the way the democrats envision. At some point in time, someone will have to pay for the trillions that this government has wasted on failed attempts to breathe life back into a government-caused ecconomic catastrophe.

Personally, I loathe those who are so simple-minded and myopic as to blame a single political party for our present economic mess. Rant and rave at will dimbulbs.

Here is when they were in favor of the program...

A stimulus program even a Republican can love
NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- There's at least one stimulus program that's creating jobs and winning praise from both sides of the political aisle.

A little-known Recovery Act initiative is expected to put more than 200,000 unemployed people back to work in 32 states and the District of Columbia. It's called the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families Emergency Fund, and it subsidizes jobs with private companies, nonprofits and government agencies.

What more proof is needed to show how the GOP is more than willing to sacrifice jobs and the American worker to suit their agenda?
It was TANF programe and it was deficit neutral so it was not fear of deficits that led to republican blocking the programe.

You have read through all of my posts on CD to determine that I have blamed just one party???

There is no getting away from the fact that the right will do anything to undermine the Obama adminstration as the OP has certainly exposed...even at the expense of the American people.

One would have to be very dimwitted to not realize that we were dropped into the hole by the previous admnistration and the right is doing everything within its greedy power to give Obama the "Waterloo" they have been hoping for since the beginning of his Presidency.

Tell me oh wise and brilliant one, how would McCain have handled the economy when he stated that the economy was in good shape weeks before the meltdown? Who did and do you support and why and what do you have to say about the OP without deflecting?

How about some real jobs that the government didn't "create". When taxpayers have to pay for those workers, they aren't worthwhile jobs when it comes down to it and we could simply put the entire welfare class to work if we wanted to do something useful. They should at least be out picking up litter and planting trees instead of lounging around in front of their televisions all day.
