GOP: the unemployed are insignificant “small amount of people”

By: David Phillips
Las Vegas Democrat Examiner 

Why are so many republicans so quick to kick a man or women whose down on their luck because they lost their job? Why do so many republicans find it so easy to target this group by continuously voting against Job Bills and unemployment extension?

Maybe its because demographically the unemployed voter block is small. Maybe that’s why Senator Tom Coburn (R-OK) in an interview with The Hill yesterday classified the unemployed as being “the relatively small amount of people who will be affected by this delay”, referring to the current $9 billion unemployment extension that he has so proudly said he will block along with all future unemployment extensions because he wants it to be paid for with money from the Troubled Assets Relief Program (TARP), the $700 Billion that former President Bush used for bailouts for Wall St.

Senator Coburn said, “The easiest thing in the world is to pass this bill unpaid for, but consider the millions of Americans whose financial futures would be damaged, versus the relatively small amount of people who will be affected by this delay," Coburn went on to say, "Now you tell me which vote takes the most courage.”

No Senator, now you tell me which voter needs your help, not your so-called courage. You and your Party show NO courage when you vote No on everything, what you do show is your disloyalty to our nation by putting your Party first.

According to Coburn the “financial futures” of Americans will be in jeopardy if another $9 billion is spent on an extension, and the money will only affect an insignificant and “relatively small amount of people” or in GOP political speak, a small block of voters who will most likely not vote.

Senator Tom Coburn’s actions will cause at least 200,000 Americans to have their benefits “interrupted” this week. Coburn’s fellow republicans have also said they support his action. Surprise, surprise.

Why else would republicans, even those here in Nevada, such as Senator John “ man have I got ethics problems” Ensign (R-NV) and Rep. Dean Heller (R-NV) vote “No” on every Bill that helps to create jobs both for Nevada and our nation along with Bills to help the Unemployed and help with COBRA subsidies.

Even the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, aka the Obama Stimulus Bill, which helped save our country from financial ruin and prevented another Great Depression, each and every republican voted NO. Then back in their home States at least 114 Republicans praised the Obama Stimulus Bill for creating jobs and paying for worthy projects in their districts. But the republican leadership claims that the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act did not create any jobs, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and Rep. Eric Cantor (R-VA) are some of those 114 republicans who praised the Obama Stimulus Bill to their local media and at ribbon cuttings.

The republicans have said they want to see President Obama Fail, Senator Jim DeMint (R-SC) said that the Health Care Reform Bill was suppose to be President Obama‘s “Waterloo“. What they don’t say is that they want to see President Obama Fail, even if that means we have to watch America Fail. And they are doing just that, watching. Their actions and their words clearly show that they put their Party above you, your family and our country.

Republicans find the unemployed insignificant and merely a “relatively small amount of people’ because they think that that voting block is merely a “relatively small amount of people” so why bother trying to help them
