It will be shameful if the jobs bill fails because democrats like Machin and Nelson will not

[mfcorey1]

vote for it. Obama has no backup and no where to turn. I hope the people vote out their sorry a****.

[Angry Dragon]

1. What if they do not like part of the package??

I personally think the 2% payroll cut is a mistake

[mfcorey1]

2. What if they very seldom totally support things they should as democrats?

[shraby]

3. 2% is miniscule compared to putting more people to work.

If it takes a small tax cut to do it which does no harm, PLUS a surtax on the very rich, in my opinion, its well worth it.

[Angry Dragon]

9. The harm I see is that it opens the door for further

playing around with SS

[Freddie Stubbs]

10. Then the bill should be split up and each section given a separate vote

[dkf]

4. It's going to fail because Repubs dont like it. We don't have enough votes by ourselves.

5. If it doesn't get out of the House, does it really matter what happens

in the Senate? This totally aside from the fact the Manchin and Nelson are despicable ass-carrots.

[ThomWV]

6. Manchin is just another piece of DINO dogshit.

[Johonny]

11. The liberal base gets bashed

as abandoning Obama but it's been the DINOs that have repeatedly hurt his presidency by holding out on votes in the senate, while the congressional liberals have generally rallied to him. To me this vote is same old, same old.

[Romulox]

7. The jobs bill is another compromised top-down piece of garbage.

It's dying because there never was any support for it.

[mmonk]

8. We aren't getting a jobs bill.

We'll just get cuts for billionaires and multi-national corporations. Have you noticed the House recently? And we have the Super Committee coming up. This ain't no democracy.

[Champion Jack]

12. Dems that are on the fence

Dems that are on the fence in support of the American Jobs Act Joe Manchin (WV) 202-224-3954 ; Joe Lieberman (CT) 202-224-4041 ; Mary Landreiu (LA) [phone] ; Jon Tester (MT) [phone] and Ben Nelson's (NE) Office says he is leaning "Yes" please call him and ask that he support this bill [phone] .

[mfcorey1]

13. Closet republicans who are always at odds with the caucus.
