AND THAT FUCKING BUSH SITS IN THE WHITE HOUSE AND SAYS “IF WE EXTEND BENEFITS TO THE UNEMPLOYED THEY WILL STOP LOOKING FOR WORK!” this failed asshole who always has his daddies money to go back to
ANY IDEAS HOW TO GET THIS TO BE ASKED OF MCCAIN PALIN AT ONE OF THEIR RALLIES?I AM SO ASHAMED . what has hapenned to our great nation
What Bushy does not understand is that while on Unemployment you have to actively look for work, no freebees, here in NY, we have to make a weekly list of every job we applied for, and then we receive a letter to go to there office and present our list, they spot check the list and if you are caught lying they can suspend or deny benefits, nothing is free Bushy.
Bush is hoarding our money, we pay into the unemployment fund.
his nation was screwed ever since Reagon was in office, he started the trickle down economics..

I can’t even watch any more of those videos. There is hundreds on tent cities on Youtube. Some of them are heartbreaking.
Every moron that says we don’t need an extension and should just get a job should be forced to live in one of those tent cities for a while.
That guy in the CBS video is a VETERAN too.
Wanna laugh?

WOW!… and did you see the looks Katie Couric was giving her. I never saw her look like that.
Thanks because Katie was thinking…if this woman can be Vice President I should be Uber-President.
I think all these people (ie. republicans) were born with a silver spoon in their mouths and have never been hungry for more than an hour. They have no idea what it is like and they don’t want to know. There’s some old joke about how everyone is a democrat unless they have money, then they are a republican.

How many homeless veterans are there?
Although accurate numbers are impossible to come by — no one keeps national records on homeless veterans — the VA estimates that nearly 200,000 veterans are homeless on any given night. And nearly 400,000 experience homelessness over the course of a year. Conservatively, one out of every three homeless men who is sleeping in a doorway, alley or box in our cities and rural communities has put on a uniform and served this country.
ONE OUT OF EVERY THREE HOMELESS MEN ARE VETERANS!!!
Anyone beside me starting to get angry now?
I was already angry.
I have been getting angrier as each day goes by lately.
When you start looking into what is really going on out there….I can’t even put it into words.
Dow is dropping again. I think the more it drops the more it helps us. It’s down 140 now. I’m so glad that bailout plan worked, she said sarcastically.
I hope it tanks, 810 bil down the tubes…. should have given it to the tax payers after all it was their money!!

ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos reports: Despite the encouraging words yesterday from Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke and the White House for a new economic stimulus package — it’s not going to happen this year
WTF!!
Why don’t the republicans just give up already? They are going to lose. They are just trying to squeeze out the last drops of power they have and it is pathetic.
These two are neck and neck in a lot of states anything could happen.
I just looked back over the last few pages. Every post already has two no votes on it. One more and everything will be filtered.
I would love too be face to face with the little puke doing it.
More then likely a Congress Republican troll filtering !
I have to guestion that simpy because the filtering and junk posts ussualy start aftr someone has been critical of Reid Pelosi or Obama, also the person is posting lots of anti cindy McCain stuff
And excerpt from a letter from a senator. Read for yourself to see where Bush is spending money. See what his priorities are. While tent cities go up all over the U.S., this is what Bush and Republicans think is the right way to spend our tax dollars. Anyone concerned about a UE extension who votes for McCain should have their head examined.
Thank you for contacting me about the war in Iraq. I appreciate hearing from you on one of the most important issues facing our nation today.
I am deeply disappointed to report that on June 30, 2008, President Bush signed into law H.R.2642, an emergency supplemental appropriations bill to provide $161.8 billion in unrestricted funding for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. I voted against funding the military operations portion of this measure because I strongly believe that we must break with an ill-advised strategy that continues to send our troops into the middle of a civil war that the Iraqi people and their leaders, not American troops, must resolve. America’s commitment in Iraq cannot be open-ended. That is why I will continue to support measures that limit the mission of U.S. troops in Iraq to protecting American personnel, training Iraqis, and conducting counterterrorism operations.To ensure than any future commitments are congressionally authorized, I am also co-sponsoring S.2426, the Congressional Oversight of Iraq Agreements Act. This bill would make it explicitly clear that any executive bilateral agreement between the United States and Iraq that is not approved by Congress, as mandated in the Constitution, does not have the force of law. This important oversight measure has been referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations.
Why does Obama need 150 million a month to campaign , give some back to the needy or as he calls it the middle class, they are all loaded and out of touch with the misery of people right now.
If Washington can find funds to rescue banks, then Washington can fund an effective unemployment insurance scheme, and they can fund employment subsidies.
If Washington can take on the role of lender of last resort, then we should think about Washington taking on the role of employer of last resort.
WAKE UP WASHINGTON WE ARE GETTING FED UP WITH YOUR WAYS!!!!
I don’t know the exact details of that bailout bill but if they took the money they alloted for NASCAR, movies and wooden arrows for children, it would probably have covered the measly amount ($6 billion – or is it now up to $9 billion with all the new unemployed?) we are asking for. Dontcha think?

Call and Email David Moore. Tell him to remove the filter comments ability from posters. I emailed him and try to call a few times but only got voice mail.
I did already.
Time to stop them here.
