It is unfortunate that we have two largely unfunded wars ongoing, but we can't extend unemployment at least through the holidays....

No excuse for being unemployed for more then 2 years get a job or create one yourself. Alot of these people collecting won't take a job that pays less then they are collecting. I know several and they are out hunting this week while I work. The Holidays...your breaking my heart.

FYI...Mr. Independent started this thread by calling Republicans "Obstuctionists".

I started this thread by stating that I agree with their position but think they are hurting their public image through the way they are going about it.

Then, I made what has been proven to be a futile attempt at promoting discussion by asking, "how do you guys think this will effect the public image of the Republicans in the eyes of Independents? What's the strategy behind making the announcement now with barely 3 weeks left in the year as opposed to right after, or even before the elections?"

Unfortunately (as is typical), most people in here are incapable of *discussing* a topic and just want to bitch and complain while repeating the same statements they do in every single thread here.

Man, you are pretty ignorant Johnny. I try not to insult here but your post was directly answered multpile time in a non-partisian fashion. Me thinks (as buckman noted , your thread title) you were just baiting to bash repubs. Sorry we are able to use our critical thinking and realize that you can BS around an issue or you can get it resolved. You view the action by the repubs as obstruction, I view it as getting it done. Lets see what the populace response to the repubs action is the first week in January and everyones paycheck is less. Will the blame the repubs?

The Republicans are doing just what they were told to do in the election. Lower taxes and less spending.
