Top 6 things Republicans consider more important than job creation
From Raw Story:WASHINGTON – Republicans won dramatic victories last November by promising to mitigate high unemployment. "This coming election is about one issue: jobs," soon to-be Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) said weeks before election day. "It's about jobs that were promised to the American people by the current administration, and were never delivered."
But in the three months since taking over the House and expanding their voices in the Senate, Republicans have yet to pass a jobs-focused bill, instead prioritizing numerous social and cultural issues that are unrelated to job creation -- and have little or no chance of becoming policy.
Here are six such legislative goals they've been hard at work on:
1) Curtailing Abortion Rights
2) Defunding Planned Parenthood
3) Defunding NPR
4) Investigating American Muslims
5) Declaring English As America's Official Language
6) Reaffirming The "In God We Trust" Motto

Are you kidding me?! Millions of Americans are losing their homes, kids' programs are being slashed, millions are unemployed, and this is the shit they're wasting our time and money on?!!
And I love how the righties are always screeching about "big government", and "government interference", yet feel it's entirely appropriate for government to decide what birth control we're allowed to use, what medical procedures we're allowed to have, what plants we're allowed to use, who we're allowed to marry, etc., etc...
These are the people who think that the government should have no authority to regulate industry, or to protect the safety of consumers - but demand that the government monitor what's happening inside a woman's uterus. Incredibly, a number of these folks actually claim to be "libertarians". It would seem that the meaning of the term has changed significantly over the past couple decades!
