Teabaggers fucked their business backers

[Guns Guns Guns]

​

Big business groups like the Chamber of Commerce spent millions of dollars in 2010 to elect Republican candidates running for the House.


The return on investment has not always met expectations.


Routine business tax breaks cannot be passed because of Republican insistence that they be paid for with spending cuts.


Business groups that worked hard to install a Republican majority in the House equated Republican control with a business-friendly environment.


But the majority is first and foremost a conservative political force, and on key issues, its ideology is not always aligned with commercial interests that helped finance election victories.


“Free market is not always the same as pro-business,” said Barney Keller, spokesman for the conservative political action committee Club for Growth.

What's that saying, turnabout is fair play?

LOL, that would be a reach-around, not turnabout.

Maybe with the recent stock market rebound (best 1st quarter results in years) and the drop in unemployment (29 states reported lower joblessness) the GOP will be forced to debate economic issues honestly.

Obviously, Obama is no Socialist, and the Tea-rorists failed to deliver their end of the deal to American business.

 

[NOVA]

Democratic destruction of the economy has been so successful that almost ANY rebound in the market and unemployment, etc. can be described as "the best" or at
least "very good"....Obama is a Marxist and Democrat policies, in general are socialistic by definition....just western style.


Routine business tax breaks and Republican insistence that they be paid for with spending cuts, could not be passed because of Democrats routinely stymied efforts to cut any spending even though 40 cents of every dollar spent is borrowed and drowning the US in debt.

IF and thats a big IF, business groups worked hard to install a Republican majority in the House with any expectations of unearned or unneeded tax breaks, they and the Democrats are finding out that the belief that Republicans are in bed with big business is a myth....Republicans do what is best for the country, period.

I notice Blabo presents no evidence to support his contentions.

The market on Friday completed the best first quarter of a year in 14 years, with the Dow Jones industrial average climbing 8 percent and the Standard & Poor's 500 up 12 percent.

Conservatives and especially Blabo never argue out of an openness to changing their minds. Conservatives argue to reaffirm what they already think, to delineate their faith, to defend their media, and above all to further the power of the authoritarians they trust. In short, conservatives proceed from a fixed set of beliefs that are unchanged, unchanging and unchangeable, and they only support ideas, no matter how wrong or idiotic and elected officials who unflinchingly share their approach.

So the Tea Party got backing from businesses, and now they are not catering to the wants of those business interests?

Isn't that a good thing, in general? Don't we want our political leaders to not simply act on behalf of everyone who gave them money?

It is a good thing. Teabaggers standing for re-election may wonder why the big donors aren't rushing to fund their campaigns anymore...


"There could be real-world consequences to the conservative rebellion. The 90-day extension of the highway trust fund that House Republican leaders say they will pass this week in lieu of a broad highway bill would keep existing projects moving for now. But business groups say few new government-funded infrastructure projects can get under way without longer-range certainty about federal backing.


“The majority of the work is supposed to go out in spring and get done by the fall,” said Jeff Shoaf, senior executive director of government affairs at the Associated General Contractors, a group that donated $1 million to candidates in 2010, 80 percent of that to Republicans. “Instead of spending 60 or 70 percent of their budgets, they’re going to cut back to 50 or 40 percent to make sure they have some cash in the fall.”


Exports have been one of the bright spots of the fragile recovery, but without Export-Import Bank financing, companies could struggle to complete contracts with overseas buyers. Those buyers will most likely turn to foreign competitors whose governments have more robust versions of the bank, businesspeople say.


“There’s not a bank in the United States that’s going to loan money to that customer of mine in Argentina to buy my airplane,” said David Ickert, vice president of finance at Air Tractor, which makes crop-dusting and firefighting airplanes in Olney, Tex. “There is not a free-market system that operates like that. It does not exist. We need the Ex-Im Bank, period.”

You have to realize that integrity is a foreign concept to the left and generally unknown to their politicians....

So we shouldn't hold their ignorance of that virtue against them.....

They cling to the lie and myth that Republicans and business are partners in crime....they can't accept anything else
........even when they claim the opposite is true, as they do above.....they say it like that is still a bad thing.
Republicans are damned if they do and damned if they don't....

So the Teabaggers took the money and then reneged, and Blabo calls that "integrity"?


Like so much else in Congress these days, it is not that simple.


With its charter set to expire in May, the bank is the target of conservative groups. They are making the case to Republicans that the bank, created in 1934 to finance sales to the Soviet Union, has no place in a free-market system. Club for Growth is holding it up as the next Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, crowding out private lending and offering dangerous loans that ultimately could be left in the laps of the taxpayer.


“Those groups are just wrong, period,” said Jay Timmons, president of the National Association of Manufacturers and a generous personal contributor to Republican candidates.


The bank is financed with a small percentage of each loan it makes to foreign buyers of American exports, producing $3.4 billion in profits for the federal government over the last five years.

Poor Blabo.

Its no surprise that those elected with the support of the TeaParty are not treating that support as bribery......
Support doesn't buy these politicians like it does on the left.......thats why you're so surprised and amazed.......
Integrity is foreign to the left......its as scarce on the left as lowering taxes and spending......

Well, its like this Pinhead... according to MSNBC, 40 Tea Party Candidates won and of those 40 a few of them should not even be identified as belonging to the Tea Party....
40 is an exaggeration of the left....and regardless, there were no enough elected to pass anything .......

So, in reality, we won't know if they will support business until they have enough power to actually pass something

Unlike the Democrats that DO have sufficient numbers in Congress to effect legislation and do....thats the reason spending is out of control and the debt is about 16 trillion dollars......

Thats your civics lesson for today, you poor AssWipe, now your dismissed until a future class.....

LESSON 2

Well, sonny....there was no official, organized Tea Party until mid-2008
and many of the old Republican politicians in your list were elected long before that....
So, just because they identify themselves now, as part of the Tea Party or now want to be part of their caucus, doesn't mean they were or are endorced by the Tea Party or hold to its tenets....

The Tea Party and the Republicans are not the same people.....

Its like you calling yourself intelligent doesn't mean for a fuckin' minute you are by any measurement....

2010 was the first election in which the Tea Party officially endorced candidtates and had people elected as their Representatives....they had about a 40% win rate.....not enough to pass legislation....

Now, Poor AssWipe, if you didn't pass the first lesson, its unlikely you'll do well with the second.....so its clear you will remain
a poor AssWipe for the foreseeable future....you gullibility, is far too strong to allow logical reasoning in the real world.....
