DNC’s Wasserman Schultz: Republicans Have Been ‘Crossing Their Arms And Hoping For Failure’

video
» 157 comments

On CNN’s State of the Union today, DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman-Schultz criticized Republicans for voting against the American Jobs Act, and wondered when their leadership would step up and work with Democrats to fix the economy rather than just opposing the president at every turn.

Candy Crowley highlighted the fact that two Senate Democrats voted against President Obama‘s jobs bill when it came to the floor, and asked Wasserman-Schultz how she could say reconcile this with her claim that the Republicans who voted against the bill were hoping for the president to fail. Wasserman-Schultz was quick to insist that the Democratic party does not “demand unanimity,” and bashed the Republicans for making the defeat of President Obama in the presidential election their biggest priority over the next few months.

However, Wasserman-Schultz did express disappointment at Senator Jon Tester, one of the two Senate Democrats who voted against the bill, for not voting in favor of the bill, focusing on the importance of Democrats and Republicans working together. But she did not expect much cooperation from Republicans anyway.

“Where’s the leadership on the Republican side? They want to talk about sitting on the sidelines, they’re the ones that have just been crossing their arms and hoping for failure. I mean, how could, it’s so irresponsible for them to allow the economy to just remain stagnant…”

    Yes, let us go even further into debt! Yes, let us give more power to the power hungry government! Yes, let us give the government control of our health, our bank accounts, our savings accounts, our entire lives!  Yes, let us give another 4 years to a president that goes to war more often than the last one. Let us elect Democrats that have more cronies than McDonalds has burgers. Let us print more and more money to make my return for my work worth even less. Let us not enforce our borders but enforce borders across the globe. Let us write laws and regulations SO VAST that children having a lemonade stand would need a team of lawyers. Let us give all our tax money to companies that go under 6 months later. Let us give our tax dollars to other countries that hate us and have called for our destruction. Let us give our tax dollars to vermin in our colleges that call for the otherthrow of our capitalist system. Let us give our tax dollars to vermin on Public television that call us and our beliefs old and worthless. Let us give our tax dollars to a CORRUPT and VILE bureaucracy in Washington.

    Yep, sounds like a GREAT PLAN.

    The Republican Party is the party of nihilism. It stands for nothing other than the destruction of the American middle class and protecting the richest Americans. It consists of outright traitors, the Kochs and those of their ilk, and is the refuge for anarchists, the Randian , Galt worshipping libertarians, and the reactionary religious extremists, well on their way to being the Amrican Taliban.

    Nice response….Now answer the question…. How about the 11 dems that voted against the jobs bill? Are they folding thier arms and hoping for failure as well?

  • MontyPyth0n

    I do! I am proud of my accomplishments! I work hard for my income. I came form a poor family, have no college education and have done fairly well for myself. No gov’t program got me here. I work my butt off. I do what is needed to accomplish my goals. I know that it is possible for anyone else to do the same. The only limitations people face are self imposed. (outside of mental or physical issues…liberalism does fall into the mentla issue category)

    Having said that, I am not against taxes. What I am against is a government that instead of trying to find out ways to stop waste and make do with what they are getting, they just want to raise taxes. How about we first find areas in our budget taht are wasteful as we all agree there is plenty of waste. Just like when I spend my money I make sure that it is spent wisely, I wish for my gov’t to do the same. I did not vote for Obama. However when he campaigned and stated that he was going to go through the budget line by line and get rid of programs that did not work he would get rid of them. And when he stated that all new bills coming to his desk would be read and not crammed through I almost voted for him. Thankfully I knew at the time in my gut he was full of hot air, but those are items I can get behind. All I ask is that our gov’t finds ways to run with what’s already in its pockets before it reaches back into mine.

  • Texan

    Monty, the fake king will tell that it’s The Tea Party’s fault that the democrats voting against obamas jobs bill.

  • Yukon Jack

    The UNIONS destroyed the middle class. Unions have absolutely no concept of self-worth and for decades – typically – they pushed the idea that putting a screw in place every 15 minutes on an assembly line is worth 35 bucks an hour. With a Grade 4 ‘education’.

    These conceited bastards succeeded in sending excellent , well-paying jobs oversees with their tptally unreasonable demands.

    I guess for idiots beating the capitalist pigs is more important than to have job and support your family.

  • MontyPyth0n

    but there would only be a 9% income tax….something tells me that would be a large cut for roughly 47% of us. (a tax hike for those not currently paying taxes) and then we would have that “shared sacrifice” I hear so much about.

    Extending Bush tax cuts? Again, to the gNOpigs it does not seem good enough.
    Health Care Reform? The gNOpigs swore to repeal it on the first day in Congress after the mid-term elections.
    Extending unemployment benefits? NO. It is the unemployed’s own fault.
    Imposing fines on BP for the gulf oil disaster? – Fugging gNOpigs were APOLOGIZING to BP and blaming President Obama.

    Yet
    another conservative indulging in the fantasy that he is a self made man,
    completely ignoring the fact that the institutions and infrastructure in this country,
    built by the government, is what made his success possible in the first place.

    To quote Elizabeth Warren, “there is nobody in this country who got rich on his own. Nobody. You built a factory out there? Good for you. But I want to be
    clear: you moved your goods to market on the roads the rest of us paid for; you
    hired workers the rest of us paid to educate; you were safe in your factory
    because of police forces and fire forces that the rest of us paid for. You
    didn’t have to worry that marauding bands would come and seize everything at
    your factory, and hire someone to protect against this, because of the work the
    rest of us did.”

  • MontyPyth0n

    governments ability to build roads, educate, etc…. would not be possible without TAX DOLLARS first! They have to take from us first. We have to earn it FIRST! yes there are items that the government takes care of that assist in our lives. However, the government did not provide me with my drive to succeed, nor my desire to better myself.

    we can play the chicken or the egg game all day, but a corporation pays my salaries and commissions based solely on my abilities as an employee. I make myself marketable to my employer and customers. I pay a price of tax dollars for common good. But for you to take credit for my success is ignorant at best.

    Elizabeth Warren is an idiot. I am a self made man. I put myself in position to be successful and I only have myself to account for my successes and failures. I pay taxes that go to to those programs Mrs. Warren is so fond of, but if I and millions other like me hadn’t worked hard in the first place, there would be no taxes to collect.

     How bout I give only say 10% of what I earn to the feds and the state for income? That should be my fair share for say police, fire and military. The rest of the crap like public eduindoctrination, socialist security, mediscare, Pubic Television, Planned Abortionhood, and the millions of other leftist crony scams to steal my hard earned labor can get funded by wackos that agree with it.

    And do NOT go down the road on things like roads, they are funded by sales taxes. By the way, I will be shipping my tobacco for now on from Missouri where they do not tax you 200% to fund the public pension system.

    Obama is just another in the line of crony thieves just like all the other crony thieves.

    Americans Pay Less in Taxes Under Obama Than Under Bush

    How about Forbes – rightie enough for ya

    Bruce Bartlett, a fiscal conservative and columnist for Forbes who worked in the George W Bush and Reagan administrations
    is shocked by what he sees happening on the right these days. He became
    a conservative, he says, because he saw liberalism as driven by lofty
    unachievable or unreal motives whereas conservativism he believed was
    pegged primarily to concern with consequences and so based on cold hard
    reality. He reports that the Tea Parties have turned the world around.
    Tea Partiers yelling about taxes are delusional, he writes. They know
    nothing about taxes.

    federal taxes are very considerably lower by every measure since Obama became president.

    Today, however, conservatives have largely adopted the liberal operating
    assumption and now also define themselves by the righteousness of their
    motives.

    Dear Ms Wasserman, Let me give you a clue.  It is not the purpose of government to create jobs.  That’s done in the private sector.  Growing the economy is done in the private sector, not by government.

    That said, the American economy is doomed to collapse under pressure from the debt it has accumulated from Democratic spending.  Yes, the Republicans helped create this massive debt, but it has been Democratic issues that have led the way down this path of economic destruction.  That being the case, the sooner we get through this destruction, the sooner we can recover.

    So yes, I am looking for the final economic destruction.  It has to come and things will not get better until it happens.  Spending more government money on government contracts, whether for infrastructure or schools or healthcare, is not the way out of this economic morass.

    Cut spending NOW. Let banks, big & small, fail.  End excessive government regulations of businesses.

    It is clear that Ms Wasserman has no clue about economics.

    Miss Debbie is remarkably selective in her thought process. For the first two years of Obimbo’s administration Republicans were kept out of the process. The same idiotic process that has led to the deepest recession this country has ever seen. Some say, Depression.

    The GOP is hoping DWS remains the head of the DNC. She gives “hope and change” where there is none.

    I dont know if Conservatives or anyone else is hoping for his failure,  but if they are, it sure looks like its working.  This is the most failed person I have ever been aware of.  He is a radical Leftist who surrounded himself with more radical leftists and began to systematically destroy this country.  I am happy to note many of his so called party,  ( Im not sure he claims in his heart to be anything but communist ), have seen the direction this fool is driving at and have said enough, and walked away from him and his ways.  Thank you.

    And who other than you claims this is so?   They have been fighting for two years to get Obama and Reid and Pelosi to look at possible plans to create jobs and stop the blood flowing out of our economy.   You know it and I know it,   so why do you whine and lie about it.  The problem is,   If a plan dont include massive tax increases,  Obama and his gang will not even look at it.   They continue to announce ahead of time,   “  NO TAX,  NO LOOK “   you want to cry about something go cry to Obama and his gang of crooks.

    Regressive taxes? Helping to pay for the entitlement programs their living off of is regressive? Those in the Tea-Party are suggesting those that use the system as a means of making a living should be subject to taking jobs in the private sector that supposedly only illegal aliens will do. Like construction, cleaning hotels and motels, restaurants, or any other job now occupied by an illegal alien parasite. By the way that would be upward of 8-Million jobs. Can you imagine the saving in welfare alone?! But, of course that would mean the illegal employers would have to pay a livable wage and not rely on the taxpayers to subsidize them. That would mean passing the E-verify program Nation wide, and strictly enforcing it!

    How does making more than $250K justify targeting them? Within the current tax-code, these people are already paying an enormous amount in taxes to subsidies the bottom-feeders! How, in your corrupted thought process, do you justify forcibly taking more from them to subsidize the 47% not paying a dime in taxes?! When did your neighbors personal earnings, in any form, become subject to the leeches wants?! How does that happen?!!

  • Anonymous

    You are talking about the 53% that are paying taxes, aren’t you? You know, that 53% that are paying far more in taxes to educate the 47%, build roads, pay police and fire departments, than the 53% will ever use! Is that what the socialist Warren is trying to say?!!
    Golly, kind of a lopsided argument, wouldn’t you say?

    Good. Admitting that Obimbo has failed is your first step in regaining your character. The next step will be understanding that we have enormous problems with this two-Party system and that maybe it’s time we considered a viable third-Party. Among the first issues we tackle should be the unlawful overreaching of the Supreme Court, among are among other UN-Constitutional issues in Washington that are severely hurting this country.

    All Republicans are bad people. No decent human being would associate himself or herself with such a cause. The Democrats, however, are a mixture of good and bad people.

    I’m talking about the Conservative movement, which of course, is not necessarily that of the GOP. There are good and bad in both Party’s and making a blanket statement like yours does nothing to serve you. Take a look at the Tea-Party platform online, and tell us what you disagree with.

    Actually, it is not.  You have no debate, House JOBS bills are stalled in the Senate.

    The Republicans were not able to pass any of those things without the support of democrats.  Tom Daschle was Senate majority leader at the time the AUMF was signed.  Democrats also voted for the tax cuts, how about that for dragging, they must have had a hold on at least one of your legs.

    Does Obama really think he’s changing hearts and minds by running this troglodyte out to do his bidding? Between her voice and the dead raccoon on top of her head it’s everything I can do to not stab my eyes with an ice pick.

    First, I can’t actually listen to DWS b/c her voice is like nails on a chalkboard; but then again I can’t actually read a transcript of her comments b/c what she says is so disconnected from reality and totally lacking in any common sense or logic, so I have to read it a few times to see if I’ve missed something, and then I realize I’m wasting WAY too much time on this dingbat yenta.  Oy vey, she’s gotta shut her mouth and stop w/ the ramblings or everyone will know she’s meshugana.

    Actually, I think he was saying the increase in Union power is what led to the destruction of the middle class – which is true.

    I have worked as a contractor in NY for eight years, and I can tell you that most of the state employees who are unionized have no work ethic, and they use contractors like me to do the actual work. I worked nights for much of this time, and among half a dozen people on that shift I was the only one who worked through the night and never slept on the job. These people wouldn’t be employable anywhere in private industry, and now many of them are facing that prospect because they keep trying to hold the state hostage to their demands. The governor and the state assembly have put their foot down and told them this is the deal, or we lay off thousands. They still kept insisting their demands be met. Now, on the eve of them losing their jobs they are considering the deal.

    “Wall Street Journal – 6 hours ago
    AP ALBANY, NY — The Executive Committee of the Public Employees Federal union is supporting a new, tentative contract that could avoid 3500 layoffs…

    “http://online.wsj.com/article/AP6ca3d8a488d6433082b46cb58957b74a.html

    Funny how when the state can’t afford to give them raises at the level they want, and then it turns out the budget can’t support them at the current level they will cave in at the last minute to avoid losing their jobs. This fight has been going on for the better part of this year.

    They already eliminated nearly all of the contractors last year, so now they not only don’t get raises, but they have to do the work too.

    Poor babies.

    Sure. Most of the jobs they overpriced are now on foreign soil. If the company can’t stay in business they move the manufacturing to some place they can get the job done and still keep the products at marketable prices.
