Video:Arizona GOP-T Rep. John Shadegg unemployed don't spend their checks.

[Swede]

Sickening.

It wasn’t Shadegg’s audacious lying that was remarkable — you can see that 24/7 on Fox — it was his swagger, the near-giddiness with which he consigned 2 million unemployed Americans to the wolves at the same time that he was demanding tax breaks for people so wealthy they don’t need to work.

1. Back in the day when it was mostly lazyasses and drunks on

unenjoyment, we used to say, if you didn't cash your check in a bar, you weren't doing it right! We sure as heck spent ours but mostly stimulated the local bar scene economy.
Of course it's way easier for respectable people to be out of work now. Republicans too. It's just too bad we have to help them along with everyone else.

2. God help me, he's my Rep--and that sentiment plays well in my district. Once again, I apologize, USA

I try to stop the hate as best I can.

4. Heh. Well, now we have Ben Quayle.Hard to believe we could do worse than Shadegg but where there is

a will there is a way. Too bad the Democrats didn't vote.

6. Scary thing is, I think Shadegg is way smarter than Quayle.

Ick, ickety, ick.

I'm hoping to move if/when my divorce becomes finsl; maybe even out of state.

7. A small soap dish is smarter than Quayle! Ah well, Hulburd had a kick ass election night party.

I would love to move but like many,we have no money. But as Terry goddard said, "It takes courage to be an AZ Democrat. Anyone can be a Repunlican. That is easy "

3. You lie!

:thumbsdown:

Gawd, I despise them.

[Tippy]

5. Republicans get off on when putting the screws to poor people

Hell they don't go out and (just spend) their checks they use it to pay bills and buy food, just how far does Shadegg think uemployment checks go for Christ sake....

[BuelahWitch]

9. I guess he thinks that lobbyists pay bills for the unemployed

Just like they do for him...

[Swede]

10. Hey BuelahWitch!

How's it going?

8. Lawrence O'Donnell asked viewers for suggestions as to how ...

he could criticize Shadegg without using the word "stupid".
