You got to give the people, now Give the people what they want

Now that Republicans have control of both houses of Congress, they are going to have to do better -- and do right by all Americans, not just their fringe conservative base.
In the first days of the newly minted 112th Congress, after the 2010 midterms gave Republicans control of the House of Representatives, the American people were clamoring for action on jobs and the economy.
What did the new Republican House give them? One of the first laws introduced was the No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act. Whereas existing federal law already limited the use of government funds to pay for abortion, there were exceptions for incest and rape. The No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act attempted to narrow the definition of rape to only involving force.
Republican House Speaker John Boehner called the legislation a top priority for his caucus. Maybe for conservative Republicans but certainly not for most Americans, especially when unemployment was 9% and the economy was still reeling from the Great Recession.

Meanwhile, Republicans have touted a list of "more than 30 jobs bills" they have passed in the House but have failed in the Democratic Senate.

The last loser I want to hear from right now
C’mon, any dude would be a half bubble off if his mom named him Sally...
Or Rachel.
Sally, we;ll start with the fringe, I hope, and work toward the rest. Best chance of fixing your mess.
I rest my case!
Is this “Kohn” that alleged female that looks like a guy on steroids?
delusional thinking by the mentally ill..... what else can you expect from a ‘progressive’?
Miss Sally is an obtuse sort, isn't she?
Obamacare, clean air and water regulations and the NLRB all being anti-job. A fact that is evidently beyond her capability to comprehend...
She is delusional. Years of drug use, probably..
This must be the Sally Kohn who projects being an arrogant progressive know it all.
Dunno, just remember someone posting a profile pic by that name and it looked like Bryan Bosworth at the top of his steroid years. Impossible to determine if it was male of female. Even less so than that mad-cow thing on PMSNBC/
She’s a Rachel look-alike but blonde and a lesbian as well.
” Kohn met her partner, Sarah Hansen, at the World Social Forum in Porto Alegre,Brazil, in 2003. Hansen works as an activist and consultant. Hansen was the Executive Director of the Environmental Grantmakers Association from 1998 to 2005. They have a daughter (aged 5 in 2014), Willa Hansen-Kohn and live inBrooklyn, New York.[8]”
Who cares what some leftie bull dyke thinks?
Her lezzie `partner’ even took her name. Feh!
Too bad for that kid.
