Rep Sanchez: Republicans Admit To Holding Economy Hostage

Transcript:

Interviewer: Harry Reid said yesterday, and frankly we've heard this from a lot of Democrats, the Republicans oppose the jobs bill for political reasons, that it helps them if the economy stays in bad shape. But, is that fair?

Sanchez: Well, it certainly is fair. I mean, I've heard my own colleagues on the Republican side say, "We just want to make Obama look so bad. We don't care how bad the economy gets. We can win this election, we want our president --"

Interviewer: You've heard them say that?

Sanchez: Yes. They have said that. They've said that! They've said that behind closed doors to me! They said, "Nothing is moving." They said, "We want to make him look bad. We want to get rid of him. We want to get rid of the health care reform bill." They only way they believe they can get rid of health care reform is to get rid of President Obama.

No one needs to make His Earness "look" bad. He'd look far worse if the media didn't work on behalf of and for the taxocrat regime.

P.S. Another payoff of taxpayer money to union sh!tbirds isn't a "jobs bill".

alcomsays...

Without suggesting an alternative bill focused on improving the plight of struggling American's, RIP-ublicans clearly have their heads up their @%%&%. If they don't have to do anything to make Obama look bad, then why are Reps fighting so hard to do it? Worse yet, why do they do it at the expense of their own constituents?

It is childish, vindictive and inexcusable that they knowingly take steps to plunge the country into further ruin to score some more fear votes.

"Who is saying that congresswoman?"

"Well, you know, I'm not ah, det, tha, these are actual friends on the other side"

Beautifully put.


The only way to get rid of Obama's Health Care Fascism Bill is to get rid of Obama? NO, THAT'S CRAZY TALK!

What is her point? That the contrived political structure is based on 2 sides sabotaging each other and pointing their fingers at the other side come election time?

VoodooVsays...

sadly this means absolutely nothing unless you can get someone on tape or on video.

But this isn't the first time I've heard congress compared to a wrestling show where it's all just a staged show and Dems and Reps are all pals behind closed doors and Conservatives admit to wanting liberal policies but in public will fearmonger liberal policies.

The biggest obstacle to job creation is the obama regime itself. No sane business is going to produce anything when there's no demand from consumers and this lawless excuse of a government stands ready to seize all the profits.



Sanchez - proof that Mexican illegals vote in American elections.

Yeah QuantumDickface, since her surname is Sanchez she obviously unloads the van full of pregnant undocumented immigrants at every polling station in Orange County in order to rig every election she's run for.

So @dag, if I heard from an anonymous source that @quantumushroom is clearly a racist & moronic meatbag filled to the brim with human feces..

..it's not technically breaking the AD HOM rule since it's only hearsay, right?

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

Let's take a deep breath and take it down a notch. @quantumushroom that is a borderline racist comment, please refrain. @GenjiKilpatrick I sense your frustration but that's an inappropriate way to respond and an ad hom, so please refrain. This an official warning. Thanks.

Let's put this particular peice of stupididty to rest, shall we?

http://www.gop.gov/policy-news/11/11/10/updated-summary-of-22-jobs

The GOP has !!22!! alternative bills focused on improving the plight of struggling Americans. It is Barak Obama, Harry Reid, and the Democrats who are lovingly french-kissing their own duodenums.

I know it is really REALLY hard for people on the left to process facts that are rooted in fundamental truth and reality - but just for once give it a shot? This whole "do-nothing Congress" line is nothing but prog-lib propoganda that leftists are desperately repeating on thier blogs and on the news in order to get the inattentive and stupid to beleive the GOP is the problem. It is something the left is REALLY pushing hard right now because they've got nothing else to go on this election cycle - what with Obama being such a dismal failure.

Case in point - Obama has by himself using what can only be described as tyrannical executive fiat - has within the past 13 days PERSONALLY killed 600,000 jobs. The Canadian oil pipeline, and natural gas drilling in Ohio. Both projects would have immediately created hundreds of thousands of jobs. If Obama wanted to goose jobs, he'd allow both projects to proceed. But because he's a leftist moron, he blocks them. And it is the REPUBLICANS who are stopping job creation by not agreeing with Obummer's idiotic tax & union slush bill? Sometimes I wonder if the prog-lib left has any clue about real life.

NetRunnersays...

@Winstonfield_Pennypacker all of those bills are just ones the GOP themselves say are jobs bills, not anything having to actually do with jobs.

Those are 21 bills in which the GOP wants to legalize fraud, and legalize pollution, and give kickbacks to government contractors, and one bill in which they want to give very miserly employment assistance only to veterans.

I'd give 'em partial credit for that 1 bill in 22, except for the fact that they blocked the Democratic veteran benefit bill, which was much larger, even though it consisted primarily of tax cuts.

criticalthudsays...

@winstonfield.Pennypacker
dude, the second thing you cite to is a bill basically eliminating the EPA.
yeah, dems are part of the problem too, but you're a bit out of line here. you seem to be a right wing extremist. just sayin.

@QM - r u desperately in need of a dirty sanchez?

criticalthudsays...

after working as an attorney for 7 yrs, i would offer that the mindset of the attorney (who comprise most of our lawmakers), is all about the win, the deal, the conviction. it's all about the competition and the achievement. you are well-trained in the adversarial system, which means you bitterly fight for whoever is paying you. hired guns, no real morals. so yeah, of course.

these are our politicians, and they are all on the lobbyist gravy train. the republicans are almost blatant about it. the dems are a little more sneaky.

Winstonfield_Pennypackersays...

all of those bills are just ones the GOP themselves say are jobs bills, not anything having to actually do with jobs

And Obama's bill is just one that he says is a job bill, not anything having to do with jobs.

UCwhutididthere? From a fiscally conservative position, the GOP bills are about jobs. To a hard-left prog-lib-dyte, they aren't. To a fiscal conservative, Obama's bill is an absolute joke, but to a proglib-dyte it looks wonderful.

The truth is that both approaches are "methods" for creating jobs, but take different approaches. The GOP is using free markets, natural resource development, and small business tax breaks as a means of spurring job growth. The Democrats approach is taxes and deficit spending on temporary jobs and unions. But the past 3 years has shown us that Obama's approach is crap, and the GOP is saying "here's a viable alternative - let's try it". The Democrats in the Senate are saying, "Oh no you ain't going there!" Meanwhile the Democrats and President are saying, "Let's keep going what we've been doing for the past 3 years..." and the GOP in the House are saying, "Oh no you ain't going there!" It's a philosophical debate, and the nation as a whole prefers the GOP approach - not the President's. So he's trying to get the stupid and the suckers to buy into this moronic "do nothing" congress line. He's got nothing else because poll after poll shows both him and his plan are cratering.

the second thing you cite to is a bill basically eliminating the EPA

No - it is a bill to reduce the EPA to a less stupid level. EPA regulation of Co2 is not something the people voted for. It was rammed through by legislative fiat by Obama as a means of stifling energy production and imposing regulations on businesses which (in turn) hurt jobs. Obama's administration is rife with such bullcrap. He bans drilling in the Gulf which COSTS jobs. He blocks the Canada pipeline - which COSTS jobs. He blocks Ohio natural gas drilling - which COSTS jobs. Meanwhile he is literally dumping billions into failed projects like Fisker, Solyndra, and others which they KNOW are bad investments and are going bankrupt left and right. The GOP effort to halt that would almost immediately create over a MILLION jobs. The result will be more energy production, which will lower costs and create work. THAT is a job plan. Obama's plan kills jobs and raises energy costs.

criticalthudsays...

hmmm...i wonder if the republican policy of de-regulation and not pursuing anti-trust actions had an effect on jobs?
merger after merger after merger, each time shedding thousands of jobs. ahh, the job creators, them republicans...
