Democrats Take Advantage Of The GOP's Epic Month Of Dysfunction
WASHINGTON -- Maybe congressional Democrats should just send their GOP colleagues a thank-you note.

After a month during which Congress failed to make any progress on funding the government, an attempt to protect the Confederate flag killed an appropriations bill and hard-line Republicans in both the House (Rep. Mark Meadows) and Senate (Sen. Ted Cruz) openly challenged their leaders' integrity and ability, Democrats didn't have to work hard to portray themselves as the responsible ones as lawmakers headed into their summer break.

Current GOP presidential race front-runner Donald Trump gave their case a boost in June when he called Mexican immigrants criminals and rapists.

The House is leaving town this week until after Labor Day, and the Senate will follow suit the week after. With the debt limit, government funding, a vote on the Iran nuclear deal, long-term highway funding and more all waiting for action in September, it's no surprise that Democrats seldom missed the chance to point out the GOP's problems during recent public appearances and a series of interviews with The Huffington Post.

"If Republicans continue to follow the hard right -- Donald Trump, Ted Cruz -- they're going to fall right off a political cliff," said Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) in a news conference Thursday after the Senate was forced to pass a stopgap measure to fund highways. "And sadly, that looks like where we're headed."

Nope, we love facts.
Fact is that every job bill the president and the dems have proposed has been shut down by the party of NO.

The Cost To Our Economy From Republican Obstruction And Sabotage
The Cost To Our Economy From Republican Obstruction And Sabotage
SEPTEMBER 23, 2014

DAVE JOHNSON
The Republican political strategy has been to obstruct efforts to help the economy for everyone but the wealthiest few, and then campaign on complaints that the economy isn’t helping anyone but the wealthiest few. It’s working.

In President Obama’s July 12 weekly address he said, “So far this year, Republicans in Congress have blocked every serious idea to strengthen the middle class.” He could have said, “Since 2009.” Since the 2009 “stimulus,” Republicans have obstructed pretty much every effort to help the economy. In the Senate they have filibustered hundreds of bills, and since the “stimulus” they have managed to keep anything from passing that might help the economy.

In the House, Republicans have refused to allow votes on anything that seriously would help the economy, instead passing only tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations, spending cuts on essential things like maintaining our infrastructure and scientific research, and cutting regulations that protect people and the environment from being harmed by corporations seeking profit.

Republicans have blocked every effort since the stimulus to maintain infrastructure, hire teachers, raise the minimum wage, give equal pay for women, stop special tax breaks for millionaires corporations (especially oil companies), stop tax breaks for sending jobs out of the country, provide student loan relief, help the long-term unemployed, and more. Instead they insist on even more tax breaks for oil companies and billionaires, on cutting environmental protections, deregulating oil companies, and so on.

Obstruction Using Senate Filibusters

How many bills have been filibustered by Senate Republicans since President Obama took office? Bloomberg’s Jonathan Bernstein, in “All Filibusters, All the Time,” writes, “The correct count of how many bills have been filibustered during Obama’s presidency is: approximately all of them.”

That’s what it means to have a 60-vote Senate, which is what Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and the Republicans declared as soon as Obama was elected. Almost every measure and, until Majority Leader Harry Reid and the Democrats invoked the nuclear option last fall, almost every nomination, had to have 60 or more votes to pass. That’s a filibuster.

Here are just a few of the hundreds of bills Senate Republicans have filibustered since President Obama took office — just a few:

An article from a liberal rag is not an unbiased source. Try again.

No problem, it's only one of many more that PROVE the articles above are based on FACTS:

There is not ONE word of that, that you can refute. NOT ONE.

Too bad conservative morons stick their heads in the sand and ignore the facts.

What new jobs? Just temporary white elephant jobs, at the most? Does Solyndra come to mind, Edge?
Too bad conservative morons stick their heads in the sand and ignore the facts.

You should ask the republican obstructionists you support who have rejected EVERY jobs bill the president and Democrats has ever proposed since he's been in office, John Boehner and Mitch McConnell.



No, it has nothing to do with republican obstructionists who YOU SUPPORT, blocking the creation of good paying jobs....and you blame the president.

The buck stops at the White House. Private industry, not the government with taxpayers dollars, should be creating jobs. All this administration is doing, is robbing Peter to pay Paul.
