Democrats Are Out of Mind, And out Of Work (St. Pete Times)

I can't decide if the reason I enjoyed this article so much was that there are so many out of work Democrats, or because the left wing St. Pete Times had to write the article.

The link to the original article doesn't work.

I would not hire one of these morons for a million bucks. The sad part is these idiots don't get it. No job..go find one.

Another lesson from this:
You lay with dogs. You will get fleas.

[SteveMcKing]

You mean the private sector has no use for them? Or do they have nothing to offer but to suck off of taxpayers for a living.

[Prov3456]

All of these people should just get-in-line and get on with their job searches.

This sort of thing happens in the private sector every day. My husband has been unemployed over two years, still looking, and few interviews.

Just because they're Democrats and/or work for the government does not--and should not--make them immune to real life.

Get over it and keep looking, like everyone else in your position has to do!

Too bad someone wasn't doing an exit poll.

"Excuse me sir, but may I ask you a couple questions? First, do you believe the Democrat Party should support or oppose gay marriage? Support or oppose the war in Iraq? Support or oppose partial birth abortion? ...."

When they go around harping how evil corporations are - would you expect someone in the private sector to hire them? The risk I would take hiring one of these walking lawsuits is beyond comprehension.

[G.Mason]

Very sad.

I'd love to help, but I already have two dogs and my home is rather conservative. ;)

.....No job..go find one....
probably not interested in a job..... they want a career.

Careers have good pay and not much work.

Jobs require real degrees whereas for career, a plastic degree in French Medieval Poetry is adequate.

Question: (somewhat rhetorica)

Do all of these unemployed political workers go against the unemployment rate?

[Beckwith]

THat's good. Thanks . . .

Now he spends much of his time, unshaven, watching old action movies

Sounds like this guy is trying really hard to find a job.

I've had political jobs before, and they are a lot of fun. However, if there isn't work available for your party, it's time to move on and get a real job.

Oh, yeah,one more thing...

hehehehehehehehe

[MaryFromMichigan]

That would be cruel and heartless.

I love how you think.

[Randjuke]

Matt Chiller worked for Rep. Peter Deutsch, a Democrat from South Florida who ran unsuccessfully for the Senate. It has been six weeks since he lost his job.

Now he spends much of his time, unshaven, watching old action movies, including The Great Escape, in his apartment just outside Washington.

Yeah, that'll really help you find a new job, Matt, it always works for me.

Do all of these unemployed political workers go against the unemployment rate?

Oops! I blame George Bush!

[Semper Paratus]

We can't imagine doing anything else."

Practice these phrases and you'll do fine:

"Do you want to know our Specials today?"
"Welcome to Busch Gardens"
"Our Plumbing Section is over in Aisle 3"

[Always Right]

The only thing these people are qualified for is picking up an unemployment check and living at home with mom. Kind of sad.

When they go around harping how evil corporations are - would you expect someone in the private sector to hire them?

That anti-business attitude will guarantee many of them won't get hired anytime soon. Those who are lawyers at least have a chance to brush up their skills to join the bar of their native home states and at least eventually work for a lawyer partnership.

Times are tough for Democrats in this unmistakably Republican town

Maybe the 'Rats will all metastasize to somewhere more amenable, and overload it with left-leaning, socialist-inspired, entitlement-mooching vermin, thereby converting it into just another socialist hell on earth in time for the next round of elections.
