Sharron Angle is the Republican candidate for the Nevada Senate seat. She is a tea party favorite, and she's made a lot of headlines since winning the Primaries for the mid-term election.
Angle was recently quoted as calling the unemployed "spoiled" much to the dismay of ... well, the unemployed and all those that back helping the unemployed. These are not wise words for a politician seeking election in the state with the highest unemployment level in the country (but at least she was honestly speaking her mind and not giving us smoke and mirrors on her views...)
Recently, she "clarified" the statement - but instead of softening her remarks she further indicated that unemployment benefits should be cut to the point where it's hard to live on them, forcing the unemployed to find work.
Obviously Angle hasn't been job hunting recently.
On the other side, Harry Reid - the Democratic Senator and Senate Majority Leader from Nevada is for the passage of the unemployment benefits bill. He's tried several times to bring the vote to the Senate floor and has tried to block the Republicans' attempts at filibusters.
Angle's stance on the unemployed and unemployment benefits extension may very well be the proverbial nail in the coffin this election year. Unemployed individuals even from other states are outraged by her remarks, and believe that her stance shows how ill-informed she is about the situation in the country today.
On the other hand, her supporters rally behind her, sick and tired of the government adding to the deficit spending all the time.
I think that this lady needs to take a look at how this will effect the public one more time. What about the people that have children with cancer and were recently laid off due to bad choices made by our government? If our government had made better choices, maybe our economy wouldn't be so bad. This lady only cares about her own image and pocket book, and if she gets office, then everyone that votes for her would see what fools they are. Our unemployment rate is high already, what do you suppose this will do?
ReplyDeletechirstain right turnings its back on the unemployed.
ReplyDeleteLet me tell you just how spoiled I am with unemployment, I barley make my bills with the money I get, I have to walk to places to put in my resume and to top it off my son snow in the icu due to no money for his meds. Now I am trying to come up with rent money and money for food. I now weigh 91 pounds because I rather have my boys eat than myself. The last payment I got was at the beginning of the month which wasn't even a full payment. I would much rather have a job than be broke all the time. I have worked two jobs at a time for the past five years because there dad doesn't pay child support and is almost $20,000 behind. So you tell me that's being spoiled? This is not something I want this money is something I have to have. I have only been unemployed for four months so don't make all of the honest ones look bad.
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine Republican's getting in office after the many states start seeing how this will trickle down right on to their golf courses.
ReplyDeleteNo economic plan to recovery and growth would support this.
Bad move on the side of the Republicans. See all of you in November.
how to find work in nevada, if there is only sand and dessert?? how about create jobs first sharron angle ??
ReplyDeleteLet's see who will win in November.
ReplyDeletethe right slamming the door on the unemployed. where is the christain right?
ReplyDeletewheres the un paid $$$$$ we bailed out for the banks, corporate america, the wars. wheres the christain right on this
ReplyDeleteAnother attempt from the Republicans to bankrupt the middle class so they cannot get to the polls to vote in November. Once again I say that this is a form of terrorism that the Republican party is doing! Any person or persons who willingly create or perpetuate the downfall of the United States of America's economy and or willfully create hardships for a large portion of United States Citizens for personal gain should be incarcerated and judged at the least a traitor up to a terrorist! Is it the policy of Republicans in congress to use defeatists tactics to get their way? I for one am fed up and will be looking for a way to bring class action law suits against those Republicans that are displacing so many Americans in the name of self preservation in congress. Enough is enough!!!
ReplyDeleteDear Sharron,
ReplyDeletePlease show me JOBS and I used to make $25.00 per hour. Do you have any job for me ?I am ok with low paying full time job
thank you very much
Whats funny but its true rich keep getting richer and poor keep getting poorer. We call this America, how when american government people keep fucking american people. They need to make a t.v. show where Republicans or Democrat trade places with your regular folks and see what we have to go threw and we can see how the rich life is. Hey just a thought!
ReplyDeleteThis is B.S.! I am one who has worked his whole life from the age of 15. I was Laid off since last November (2009). They are talking 7-8 extensions? Not I. But now my unemployment is running out because my benefits didn't expire 1 day before the deadline! Why don't they debate how it is going to get paid for after they pass the bill? While these Republicans want to argue this, thousands of hard working people are going to be tossed out into the street. It is very possible I go behind them soon. Try looking your family in the face and explaining to them why they are going to be homeless.
ReplyDeleteNo wonder Palin supports this candidate. She is as misinformed, out of touch and stupid as Palin. What kind of values are these? I am certainly not a Republican, I may be disillusioned with the Democrats, but God save us from the Tea Party if this is their stance.
ReplyDeleteSHARON ANGLE CAN KISS HER CAREER GOODBYE IN NOVEMBER , THE AMERICAN PEOPLE YOU HAVE CRUSHED WILL NOT FORGET. SEE YOU ON THE STREET...
ReplyDeleteMaybe someone should lay them off, maybe they shouldnt have money, 200 a week from unemployment I am already not making it, however, it did help keep food in my childrens mouth and some kind of roof over their heads. I would like to see them struggle with no food, no lights, or power becasue bills cant get paid. I am an educated woman Masters degree I have earned, and I still can not find a job. Therefore, the educated and uneducated middle class and poverty is all in the same boat. I cant wait to cast my votes. We are the people that put you in your seats, we are the ones that give you your jobs, but you can not help us out when we are in need. Enough is enough!!!
ReplyDeleteIn the end, not only the republicans are to be blamed. They agreed to the bill under the condition that it should be paid with unused stimulus money. I think both parties are playing politics, but they couldn't find a worse moment for us. Now they are blaming each other and nothing is getting done. If they really want to help us they should come to an agreement of some sort.
ReplyDeleteMy husband worked in Nevada for years to earn unemployment that only lasted 26 weeks. FIX this now. There are no jobs. The fact that there are now no extensions available in nevada is awful nevada should do what other states have done and add there own extension. PLEASE fIX THIS WE NEED HELP THIS IS NOT A HAND OUT MY HUSBAND PAID IN TAXES TO FUND THIS.
ReplyDeleteShut up and put up.
ReplyDeleteMy child is not spoiled because she likes to eat. I hope you get run out of town and come here to Texas. Then you can say that to my face. I'm a single mom and I think it'd be best if you just shut up until you can bring the unemployed parents of Nevada's children some jobs.
Very simple, shut the pie hole until you bring a plan that works to the table. We're tired of your excuses... They don't get food on the table.
That's a great idea... there should be a REALITY show where politician's trade places with unemployed people. In November the Republicans and Blue Dogs will find out personally about being unemployed. This November... imagine how many Republican voters will be voting Democrat for the first time, or do the politicians think that millions without thier unemployment benefits are all democrats? MR & MRS REPUBLICAN SENATOR, keep voting no, your payback is coming.
ReplyDeleteBlame the democrats from not using the stimulus money that they want to save for the Wall Street buddies.
ReplyDeleteHer strategy is to target the unemployed as a group to hate. She is trying to get the people that have jobs to back her and hate the unemployed for being lazy and spoiled. Unfortunately for her, in a state with 14% unemployment, even the people with jobs are very nervous, and not interested in listening to an idiot who wants to mess with their only possible life line.
ReplyDeleteBlame the democrats for not using the stimulus money that they want to save for the Wall Street buddies.
ReplyDeleteBlame the democrats for not using the stimulus money that they want to save for their Wall Street buddies.
ReplyDeleteThe republican party is perfectly represented by these two IDIOTIC women, Palin and Angle. Not to mention the republican men recently in the spotlight. Thoughtless, stone hearted and stupid. What a joke our government has become!
ReplyDeleteVote all incumbents out of office in November. That's what I and allot of others tend to do!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI will accordingly, now thank you for opening my eyes.
ReplyDeleteWhy pay for it with stimulous money when we need stimulate job creation? Why not pay for it with a tax on hedge fund managers? ... oops oh yeah, the republicans are against taxing hedge funds. OK how about paying for it with removing Bush tax cuts for the super wealthy, the cuts that caused a surplus budget to become the trillion plus deficit we have now? ... oops oh yeah, .... the republicans don't want thier wealthy golf partners to have to pay taxes. OK well then let's pay for unemployment by cutting the bloated wasteful defense budget and billion dollar a day wars that have yielded nothing but dead and maimed young soldiers? Hmmm.... can't do that, Halliburton and friends run the dog and pony show in washington, not we the people.
ReplyDeleteOK OK yeah, let's pay for unemployment by robbing stimulous money and creating more unemployment..... why are Republicans so DUMB or are they just EVIL?????? Happy 4th of July, can't wait to see these guys show up at thier local parade festivities I'm sure they will get a "warm" welcome.
Thank God for the manager of the local supermarket in our neighborhood that instead of putting food in the dumpster, sets it out for those in need, this is my hero, you fat ass, no count politicians can all go straight to hell, maybe that's where hell is, Washington ,DC
ReplyDeleteVote every politician out of office who voted no on unemployment extensions. They voted no on you and me, how dare they expect us to vote yes for them.
ReplyDeleteI would love to BITCH slap Angle and if she is married to tell her husband that his wife has bigger balls than he does. Although she is dumb as a door nail.............and is just spewing s%$t out of her pie hole. Sarah Palin is just as dumb if not dumber.....Thank God she is not in office !!!! Angle, if you have kids your daughter is out getting pounded by all of the unemployed and your son is getting his ass kicked by the unemployed...........Now you need to be bent over by the unemployed you HAG !!!!
ReplyDeletethey dont care . rep party is all ready fat on backs of the working poor.were im a hard worker who 3 gen of my family were put on the street.when the factory close the union then open next day!! no union. so i got to eat b.s if im lucky. but then fat rep eat fat off the backs of the unemploy.
ReplyDeleteIf jobs were created by spending the stimulus money then we would not be unemployed. Those idiots have spent trillions and the country is getting worse.
ReplyDeleteThey don't hear anything we are saying...They don't care..They have their food and money. I will vote against every one of them in November and I hope all others do the same. If we don't it it will only get worse. I lost my home and now I am getting ready to live in the car that I have left. That's all I have I sold all my jewelry including my grandmothers engagement ring just so I could feed my children. If I had money which obviously I don't anymore I would move the hell out of the US. This place and government suck ass.
ReplyDeleteShe may seem a bit harsh, but I see her as being better than the alternatives down the road. The person whose child is in ICU is a sad situation, and yet if they ration healthcare under Obamacare that is one key target for rationing of care. I have more sympathy for that child's future under Obamacare than I do now.
ReplyDeleteFor those who live in Nevada where it is "sand", move. Go where the jobs are. Look at Texas who has kept unemployment pretty low. My father's family moved from Missouri to California during the Depression to eat. My family moved out of California when the space program went bust to a place where there were jobs. I moved out of the oil territory to high tech country when oil busted in the 80's. If you want a job, stop looking where there aren't any and go where they exist.
If we really want to blast our politicians on keeping others out of this country "taking our jobs" it is time for us to be willing to take those jobs ourselves. Go to Arizona where they are clamping down on illegal immigration and take the jobs that the illegal immigrants would have done.
How many day labor employment agencies have people applied to? It may not be money every day, but every little bit helps.
For what it is worth, I too am unemployed and face the same lack of income. I'm probably better off because I remember the oil crash of the '80's and neighbors who delivered newspapers to make their mortgage payment. I remember 100+ people applying for every job. I expected this to be worse than that and I'm operating on the expectation that it is going to get worse before it gets better. I'm in the last stages of picking the best place to move to since I'm not successful in finding a job here.
It is going to get worse. Complaining about how bad it is now and how others aren't going to help you doesn't help you prepare for a time when it will be worse than now. What can you do to prepare for those times?
I pray for all who don't have jobs. I pray that we all get our "daily bread", whether it comes from the foodbank or the kindness of a local grocer or we can afford to pay for it. I pray that this struggle and hardship teaches us how to come together and care for one another instead of complaining about those who impose discipline before things get too much worse.
I think we should throw pie in their face when they are at the parades......Come on EVERYONE NEEDS TO DO IT........I would love to see that on the news.ha ha
ReplyDeleteHappy 4th to the 1.7 MILLION, including myself, unemployed Americans who just got the middle finger from our glorious government... Such a sad day for the once glorious country, we can spend 700 BILLION for the rich wall street scumbags, BILLIONS to rich bankers, but the average everyday American who lost their job AT NO FAULT OF THEIR OWN gets a big f**k you from these same criminals..
ReplyDeleteI still think, and would enjoy setting up, a 2 million unemployed march.. Years back there was a million man march so why not a 2 million unemployed march.. I think that more than anything would wake their as* up..
NOTHING IS GOING TO WAKE THEIR ASS UP. THEY ARE IDIOTS.
ReplyDeleteI won't be celebrating the 4th this year. Can't afford to buy food for a BBQ or travel to see fireworks ( no gas money )
I used to love this country now I am embarrassed to say I live here.
The long winded person trying to "rationalize" and "minimize" whats going on is certainly not one of us, get down to your last can of soup before joining this forum.....you have no idea what it feels like to go to bed hungry and not having enough gas to get to a job interview.
ReplyDeleteWait...I'm confused. Right now, on C-Span, there's an alert at the bottom of the screen that says the U.S. House approves jobless benefits through November 30. Soo....what exactly was passed?
ReplyDeleteThis is BS media pandering. The house already passed a bill and it's been held up in the senate. This is so they can say the passed something before they go on their nice vacations while we set here looking for jobs when there are no jobs.

ReplyDeleteThey really think we are that stupid.
ReplyDeletewhat are we paying taxes for?
ReplyDeleteRemember in November what is happening now. Both parties are to blame here not just one. They all need to be voted out. Republican and Democrat alike. Stand outside the polls and remind voters what you went thru while these traitors to the american people acted like a bunch of spoiled brats which is exactly what they are. Show them that we the american people can and will rise up against them when pushed too far. REMEMBER NOVEMBER!!!!!!

ReplyDelete46 y.o. single female looking for a single male 18+ y.o. illegal immigrant. I have always been a hard worker (excellent reviews), tax payer, law abiding American citizen. Due to no fault of my own I lost my job, now after 26 weeks my unemployment has ended and I am not eligible for food stamps, welfare or free medical. The American government does not care about their own people! I have no have no height or weight requirements, no need to send a picture the only requirement I have is you MUST BE AN ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT that way I can live off the system and never have to worry about medical bills, where my next meal will come from and I will always have welfare money in my wallet! Remember ONLY ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT RESPOND!
If Obama cared about us he would have already over ruled the votes and approved it. Funny how the Obamacare was passed without all the votes…he used the loop hole system to approve it. So if he cared it would have already been done!
ReplyDeleteI’m not paying my taxes this year…I’ll become a communist. A couple of our Senators didn’t pay and Obama chalked it off as they forgot! Excuse me…they forgot! These are the idiots that are the American Government…running our country. Plus our President backed these idiots…shows you how honest he is! So if I don’t pay my taxes they might haul me to jail…oh well. I will get 3 meals a day, a roof over my head, free education, get to work out daily, don’t have to worry about looking for a job and when my time has been served I can come out as a Lawyer thanks to my free education I was provided! Hummm…options!

ReplyDeleteI am hearing many, many people say that they WILL NEVER AGAIN VOTE REPUBLICAN. I have a great job and I know that I am very fortunate. But I do feel that the Repulicans have bailed out big business in return for votes and campaign dollars, but have done nothing for the people of the USA. I have to agree with what I am hearing and that is that Republicans do not care about people, only votes.
ReplyDeleteanonymous cant find a job because he can't spell.
ReplyDeletego back to school and get an education first !!
It's spelled CHRISTIAN NOT CHRISTAIN U DUMMY
Dear Criminals(SENATORS)
ReplyDeletePlease leave office and return this country to the people. It is an outrage that you have been allowed to continue to destroy this great country by enabling a group of rich investors "Federal Reserve Bank" to even exist.
Americans should NOT pay back the deficit created from thin air by a system that was illegal to begin with.
It is the intention of this elite(federal reserve bank) to create a debt so high our dollar fails and our country falls.
WAKE UP PEOPLE
GOOGLE THIS..."Who Owns The Federal Reserve Bank"
GOOGLE THIS ..."US DOLLAR TO BE REPLACED"
Please wake up before we end up a nation of slaves!
I keep reading that this is the republican's fault....while I don't agree with everything republican, at least they are ready to pass the bill..all they want is to use cash instead of credit. The money is sitting right there in the "Stimulus Fund" the Democrats refuse to touch to help the unemployed. Now, who really is at fault here.
ReplyDeleteBoth parties are at fault...but the real DEMON IS http://www.apfn.org/APFN/fed_reserve.htm

Tim Bradley you have said it very well as I sit here thinking and typing, what to do because my last check I will receive is this week I know I'm not the only one and the millions, in the same position. I feel said not just for myself but for the many others I’ve read and heard about, and just wish the best for everybody who feel their not in control of there lives and nowhere to turn to. As the tears roll down my face I will be strong. I’ve never really have had to worry about a job, and I love to work. I am very highly skilled .I don't want to make my story to long but I feel if something will help I will do it. I can’t just go take someone else s job or I might just do that, but that is not right, but I see it happening. Work used to find me and I Liked it but Now I cant Find It. I don’t think the American people without jobs and lost them at no fault of there own, do not want to work, and don’t want a Hand out, but maybe a Hand up. I want to think good thoughts and be positive, and I’m not talking suicide.

No wonder Sharron Angle is against the unemployed...
ReplyDeletethey can donate to her election campaign!!! Perhaps
a few tomatoes thrown during her July 4th parade ride will allow her to recognise the unemployed.
There are so many things that really don't make sense. Where I live there are 2 CVS and McDonald's less than a half mile away from each other on the SAME side of the road!! WHY?! No wonder there is lazy, obese, addicted to meds individuals in America!! Why is so many households so disfunctional in America? Because instead of the head of household "bringing home the bacon" and surviving off one paycheck like it was years ago, they expect not just fathers but mothers as well to work work work!! There's no parental supervision at home!! Everyone's at work!!! Except of course for those individuals who are unemployed (myself included). I have been unemployed for over a year now. The government may take away my unemployment money but they can't take away the precious time I've had to actually be a mom to my eight year old. It is just money folks, you let it consume you and it will. Be positive and optimistic. GOD FIRST!!
ReplyDeleteDon't vote for this silly woman in November. Why do we give Israel $10 Million a day, a foriegn country, while our people suffer? Our UI system is broken millionaire politican's it seems are out of touch with the common American.
ReplyDeleteNow we all see the true colors of the Republicans. When they were in power they did nothing, but run our great country and economy to the gutters. The present administration is doing all they can to put the country and the economy back on track, but they always say NO to everything, even NO to policies they previously supported, but never dilivered. The republicans has already said they want the present administration to failed, and they will do anything to achieved their goals. I dont know how one can call themselves a Christian watching your fellow human being and citizens to suffer un-necessarily, and they can easily be help. They are all bunch of hypocrits trying to show fiscal responsibility with the election approaching.We must vote them all out in November, and take back this great nation of ours. May GOD blesh all of us, and may God blesh our America.

ReplyDeleteI urge everyone here to stop making payments on anything that has to do with a bank.Keep what little money you have if any, for yourself. Im betting that the banks will start screaming at washington and something will get done immediately.Also if anybody has any money left in the stock market pull it out and dont pay any tax on it.Believe me this will get there attention. I will be posting this message anywhere on the web I can over this 4th holiday. Bless everyone
ReplyDeleteI am a 21 yr. old father of one and have been working at the same place for 4 years and recently i have been terminated employment. I have work experience, good morals, referrals for new employment and have been searching for 3 months straight with no luck. I haven't even been offered an interview let alone a job offer. My mother has worked as a Property Manager for the past 20 years or so and is also unemployed and in the same boat(so to speak). Except she has run out of benefits and is now living on my fathers disability check that he gets once a month. Now how are we supposed to survive on this? I'm not saying you have to pass it but if not at least create more jobs for the rest of us to survive, it's not like were not willing to work.
ReplyDeleteI wish these politicians could spend one week in our shoes. The thought makes me smile. I am currently unemployed and until last week I was receiving unemployment. First off, the unemployment we do receive, is only 1/3 of our original income. I pay child support on my three sons and barely have enough for gas to pick them up on my weekends. I have submitted 400+ resumes/applications and have had a few interviews with no sucess. As part of the rules of unemployment you must provide proof of your job searches, so its not like were not looking for work. I know that I could get a job at McDonalds but that wouldnt pay my child support much less help me survive. The thing is the same money that they are dening us, is our money as tax payers. We are the ones that have worked hard just to make it and then have the goverment tell us how much money we owe them. Its almost like a mobster movie where some Mobster is putting the squeeze on some poor buisness owner. Its our money and if we didnt pay as much in taxes we could probably afford to take a lower paying job.
ReplyDeleteThe repulicans and democrats in office are just as bad as the cartels in mexico. unemployment Doesn't matter to the politicans. They really become so corrupt that its just a game with them. Stand up america and fight these cancer causing thugs. It's that simple.
ReplyDelete
