Add this guy to the long list of GOP douches TN Republican: 200,000 New Good Paying Jobs Potentially Bad For State (VIDEO) In a confounding statement, Tennessee Republican state Senator Bo Watson claims that a plan to bring 200,000 new jobs to his state could be bad because some of them would not be the right kind of jobs. Why? Many of the jobs could be union ones. Volkswagen wants to add a new SUV line to their existing plant in Chattanooga, aided by a proposed $166 million tax incentive package. If built, the plant would create some 200,000 new jobs, many of them union ones. Watson warned the state Senate Commerce Committee during a hearing on the state Economic and Community Development’s budget that bringing those union jobs to his state would be a “magnet for unionized labor, intentionally,” and would damage the area culturally. During the hearing, Watson grilled David Geanacopoulos, Volkswagen America’s general counsel, about the automaker’s labor policies, criticizing the company for supporting the efforts of the United Auto Workers to unionize the VW plant’s employees. While commending the number of jobs VW would bring to the area and the positive economic impact, Watson said to the committee: “VW is a magnet for organized labor, intentionally. I believe this committee should know and understand what Volkswagen’s position is on this issue, both here and in Germany.” “I hope the committee will take some time to fully vet this incentive offer. At the end of the day, we can have no buyer’s remorse.” VW’s Geanacopoulos explained to Watson that it was not company management who has been pushing to unionize the plant’s jobs, but rather the VW Works Council, which is an elected organization mandated by German law and separate from company management. Geanacopoulos said that the decision to unionize or not should be left to the employees. Last year, by a 712-626 margin, those employees voted against unionizing their VW jobs, aided by Tennessee Republicans who loudly campaigned against unionization. Despite the vote, the VW Works Council in conjunction with the UAW have continued their efforts to unionize jobs at the plant. And Watson believes that those potential union jobs could change the area. “Our city, our county, the surrounding counties have been incredibly impacted. Mostly for the positive, but that transformation can also involve other aspects of our communities and our culture.” Watson did not elaborate on how unionized jobs would negatively effect the culture of the Chattanooga, Tennessee area. Like most other Republicans, he apparently believes that management should have the right to screw their employees over however they like and pay them as little as possible. Even at the expense of not having those jobs in his state. Thankfully, the other 8 members of the committee voted 8-0 to approve the tax incentives for VW, with Watson abstaining.

ANOTHER REPUBLICAN IDIOT!! Obama’s Mother ‘Must Have Been A Muslim’ According To Billy Graham’s Son Franklin Graham, for those of you who may not know, is Billy’s boy all grown up and bigoted as **. (Multitudinous examples forthcoming.) I had more-or-less forgotten about him until he popped up last week. Frankie chatted with that personification of Christian love and charity, Tony Perkins. (No, not the one behind the shower curtain. Actually, this Tony is even scarier.) Tony is the head of the Family Research Council, a key pillar of the Religious Wrong. The conversation got around to Obama (Of course it did!) and what was wrong with him. Franklin had an idea or two. “His mother must have been a Muslim. We don’t know that, but she married two Muslim men, so there must have been something there. And the framework that the President has growing up, his influences in his life, was that of Islam.” SO Obama the muslim killed more islamic jihadist than Bush and killed their top dog bin laden that bush let go at bora bora......how fuggin stupid are they....VERY!!**

Shocking House GOP Budget: More Money For War, Repeal Obamacare, Cut Food Stamps and Medicaid House Republicans unveiled their budget proposal on Tuesday,demonstrating that their priorities are still to wage war and to give the rich a helping hand, all while sticking it to the poor. The House budget proposes removing most of the 2010 reforms that were implemented to regulate Wall Street and prevent a greed-driven collapse, like the one that crashed the economy in 2008. The GOP plan by House Budget Committee Chairman Tom Price (R-GA) also calls for drastic cuts to food stamps, Medicare, and Medicaid. Furthermore, the House budget would also slash funding for Pell Grants. Those grants are designed to help make college affordable for low and middle-income families. In addition, The GOP blueprint calls for the complete repeal of Obamacare, even though health care reform has added coverage for 16 million Americans who previously lacked insurance. The proposal is basically a rewrite of the Paul Ryan plan, which has been panned by critics and rejected by the U.S. Senate repeatedly. The plan does however, increase spending in one key area. House Republicans want to spend 94 billion dollars to fight the global war on terrorism in 2016, more than double the amount requested by President Obama. Republicans believe their budget proposal will create a 33 billion dollar surplus by 2025, but that projection is based on “dynamic scoring”, which presumes that supply-side economic growth will increase tax revenues. Republicans used the same “dynamic scoring” in 2001, to argue that the Bush tax cuts would spur tremendous economic growth and fill the federal coffers with tax revenue. In their theory, the prosperous nation would have so many high income earners that lower tax rates would paradoxically create more tax revenue. That, of course, never happened, but Republicans still believe it will work differently this time around. They don’t score their proposals based on what is likely to happen, but rather on what they want to happen. Somehow, it always works out beautifully on paper that way, though never in the real world.
