GOP’s stunt in Senate today, still refusing to have a vote on Jobs act

This is why people hate Washington. Because Republican members of Congress think they're too dumb to understand the difference between an actual vote on a bill and a stunt. And in the case of GOP voters, they're sadly often right. The Republicans aren't interested in fixing the economy, and certainly not doing it before the election - that might help the party in power, and the only thing that matters to the Teabaggers running the Republicans party is power. After all, they're simply conservative Republicans using a new name.

The White House should respond to by telling the American people that Eric Cantor and Mitch McConnell are lying. Call them on it. It will create a brouhaha that frankly would be healthy, and cleansing. We're not dealing with normal people here, we're dealing with a Republican part that is now far out of the American mainstream. They need to be exposed, not to help the President get re-elected but to stop them from being elected. America can't afford a teabagger in the House, the Senate and the White House.
