Romney to Announce Jobs Plan

Governor Romney has announced his own Jobs Plan Address in September.

Is there any chance that this is related to the recently released demolition and expansion plan for his La Jolla estate? Perchance the candidate may be moving into Job Creation himself; if he demolishes and expands all his estates, he could give a major boost to the construction industry nationwide.

As an added bonus for the Romney campaign, if he has all the work done at once he could tout his empathy for the homeless as he did in June for the unemployed.
 
Repubs lie all the time about creating jobs, as the last thing they want to do is create jobs while Obama is in the White House. They will block anything and everything that comes out of the Senate or White House in the way of creating jobs to ensure that the Dems cannot take credit for creating jobs on Obama's watch.

When looking at the big picture of what the Repubs intentions are short term, it's blatantly obvious that creating jobs is anathema to their agenda, no matter how seemingly emphatic they are on that issue.

Anything that comes out of their mouths on this subject is pure pandering and posturing. Nothing more, nothing less.
 
Republicans running for Congress 2010: "The #1 issue is JOBS! That's the thing they'll do most!"

# of jobs bills passed by Republican Congress 8 months in power: zero

Republicans put out jobs bills for two main reasons:

1. To get elected

2. To stuff their corrupt policies into a nice-sounding 'jobs bill'.

As in, 'we'll shift taxes off the rich onto you, because they're the job creators! We'll get rid of anti-pollution regulations, because it creates jobs!'

See, they're really for the worker.
 
The Republican party's only real constituency is that top 2%. Anyone else who votes for them is a fucking idiot.
 
I'd be absolutely shocked if this "jobs plan" was anything other than the same old disproven trickle down economics that Republicans have been pushing for 30 years now.

That's true only in terms of economic policies. The social policies are for the christian right.

It's a pretty good plan actually. Economic policies for the rich to get campaign contributions, and social polices for the religious to get votes.

The social policies are there to pander to the religious in order to get the party votes, yes. When in power, however, the Republican purpose (for the past 30 years) has been to (1) try to stay in power, and (2) to enrich the top 2% at the expense of everything else, including the country as a whole.

Ding ding ding. Which is why there's such tension between the right-wing fundamentialist groups used for votes, and their realizing they are just used.

Those groups keep trying to turn their votes into real leverage, while Republicans try to give them lip service.

The 'office of faith based initiatives' seemed to be an effort to buy them off, the way donors are rewarded, by steering tax dollars to them.

The thing is, pandering to the fundamentalists is a pretty corrupt agenda; it steps all over 'separation of church and state' to try to service one religion; it panders by convincing the fundamentalists that they're oh so abused by the 'liberals', and the right promises to protect them from that by giving them special advantages. There's not much to offer them that's not corrupt, when they're already treated just fine.

So rich people are evil and only do things for their own self benefit, including supporting policies that destroy the American middle class... Yet to counteract this you support the policies of the Democrats in congress, the overwhelm g majority of whom are among the richest people in the country.

How many trees have you and Craig felled with all your hacking?

After his recent criticism of the timing and appearance of President Obama's vacation the candidate might be a little more circumspect in the visuals of a Romney Housing Crisis.
 
The rabid Right on this forum must sleep in that's to bad because I was looking forward to their comments 😀
 
Romney Job Plan

1) Ratify Bush Tax Cuts Into Constitutional Amendment
2) ...
3) ...
4) Profit!
 
The Romney jobs plan sounds similar to the Obama jobs plan the house won't fund.

Of course the GOP hates any Obama plan, it gasp might work, and the GOP can't allow Obama to look good, no matter how far the GOP has to drag the USA down.

No. They also pander to Christian conservatives by promising to legislate their brand of morality which is in direct opposition to the rest of their "small government" platform.
