GOP Senators block tax cuts for insourcing businesses

The straw......You know what, I no longer identify with the republican party. I realize neither side is going to allow the other to have any sort of "victory" bill to campaign with. I am sure that is what this is all about. Our political system is beyond fing broke. These jackoffs are way too concerned about being elected to their cushy positions to do one friggin thing that would help the American people. How in the hell can anyone be opposed to tax breaks to re-shore jobs and to eliminate tax breaks for outsourcing? There is nobody representing us in DC. F'n nobody!

I'm still fairly conservative but I am no longer a republican. In my mind, that is no longer better than being a dem. They both/all suck.

 
I've been saying if for months: the Republican party's chances improve in November if they block all legislation that would help the economy. It makes me very uncomfortable any time either party has an incentive to do harm to the country.

 
It's all politics but at this point it smacks of bitterness.

It's hard to empathize with the democrats, however. They had crushing majorities in both chambers and the presidency, and what do we have to show for it? A sort of okay-crappy healthcare law? It also doesn't help when the president set the bipartisan tone early on by telling republicans, "We won."

 
the problem is that to the people, politics are sport. votes are points. parties have victories, not the people. the other problem is that elected officials do not represent they electorate, they represent those who got them elected: the donors.

 
The US Chamber of Commerce, National Association of Manufacturers and the Business Roundtable were also opposed to the bill. Obviously they're against US jobs as well.

The Democrats had control of the Congress for two years and did none of this. Now in the last six months before the election they're full of conservative ideas...well, ideas that last until after the election that is. The Democrat's socialist schemes will go nowhere, they've lost any trust they ever had. I've noticed that most of your threads are the same theme despite your pleas for fairness.....I won't engage in any arguments with you but thought the timing of Obama's deep concern about everything needed to be pointed out.

After being silent for years they send out people like Bill Clinton to give his brilliant advice ,then lo and behold, Obama is concerned about the 12 year old Bush tax rates expiring. Of course it's just a trick with the temporary extension for one year before we all get hit if he's re-elected. There are other temporary loosening of regs going on for his media to focus on in hopes that they can fool enough dummies into thinking he's moderating....of course he really won't but they like pretending before every election.
