Good that DeMint is leaving Congress. He’s done enough obstruction with his co-horts who plotted against the president and denied jobs to their constituents all for the sake of making President Obama a one term president.
The destruction of our country began with the GOP lawmakers who met on January 20, 2009 to destroy our country and have succeeded in obstructing the American people of moving forward with jobs. These are the cowards you should blame for lack of jobs and helping our economy, put the blame where it belongs:
The guest list on the night of President Obama’s inauguration, January 20, 2009(which was just over 15 people in total) included Republican Reps. Eric Cantor ; Kevin ; Paul Ryan; Pete Sessions; Jeb Hensarling; Pete Hoekstra; along with Republican Sens. Jim DeMint, Jon Kyl; Tom Coburn; John Ensign; and Bob Corker; The non-lawmakers present included Newt Gingrich and Frank Luntz, the long-time Republican wordsmith.
Be it ideology or stratagem, the GOP has blocked pro-growth policy and backed job-killing austerity – all while blaming Obama and Jim DeMint took an active part.
Senators: Jim DeMint, Jon Kyl, Tom Coburn, John Ensign, and Bob Corker have:
– Filibustered more Bills (over 300) than any Congress combined in US History.
– Voted NO on every single piece of Legislation brought to the Floor including:
NO on Al Franken’s Anti-Rape Amendment,
NO on Lilly Ledbetter,
NO on Fair Pay Act,
NO on Anti-Outsourcing Bill (2010)
How in the hell could any thinking American be against those Bills? Seriously?!?
