Bussing In Protestors

Rumor has it that Uncle Jimbo was on the ground in his home-town of Madison. He files this and one other report over at Blackfive.

Big Journalism has this piece up:
Progressives In Front of WH Protest Effort Mad at Koch Brothers

The President took a public stand against the hard-working private sector families of Wisconsin who are struggling to make ends meet in an post-stimulus era of 9% unemployment.

OFA, the President’s campaign arm, has organized and bussed in hundreds of out-of-state protesters to continue the agitation in Wisconsin.

The DNC has been working to help organize protest against states’ rights and the Wisconsin governor.

Yet progressive columnists who, for whatever reason, are allowed to post poorly-written Kos fantasies in a publication like Forbes and are freaking out over, who else? The Koch Brothers. Rick Ungar ironically and generously quotes the Soros-funded Think Progress in his diatribe about the Wisconsin protests.

Even if, for the sake of this ridiculous argument, the Koch brothers were involved in funding a portion of the rally, who cares? Ungar misses the irony of quoting a Soros publication while complaining about the Koch brothers. He misses the irony of standing for government-organized protests. He props up one bajillionaire while whining about another. It’s good enough for progressives to allow the White House to abuse its power and stir up tension in state capitols, yet somehow Ungar finds it within himself to draw a boundary when it comes to conservatives doing the same.

ATTENTION ALL DEMOCRATS THAT WANT TO KEEP THEIR JOBS.

Senator Obama is channeling FDR and Robin Hood. He wants YOUR money. And he's willing to kill the economy to get your vote. Hope and Change. Yeah, he hopes to buy your vote and will change the economy into a depression.

Senator Obama has said that as president he would spend $210 billion to create jobs in construction and environmental industries.

He would spend money over 10 years as part of two programs. The larger is $150 billion to create 5 million so-called "green collar" jobs to develop more environmentally friendly energy sources.

5 million jobs. Yeah. In industries that don't make money? Now that is going to be expensive. His price won't cover it at minimum wage.

Sixty billion would go to a National Infrastructure Reinvestment Bank to rebuild highways, bridges, airports and other public projects. Obama thinks that nearly 2 million jobs, many of them in the construction industry that's been hit by the housing crisis, could be generated.

We have money for infrastructure. Its paid by 18 cents on every gasoline gallon. Congress just needs to stop spending it on OTHER things.

So, lets see, nearly 2 million generated over 10 years. Heck, at best, he'll only be in office for EIGHT. And those jobs will come from the jobs he kills with his other programs (see below). Bush did better than that coming off 9/11. He would create more jobs if he simplified the taxes and regulations.

"This agenda is paid for," Obama said as the Republican National Committee promoted an "Obama Spend-O-Meter" online to track his proposals and portray him as a tax-and-spend liberal. Obama explained that the money will come from ending the Iraq war (surrender, losing the trust of our allies, empowering the enemy), cutting tax breaks for corporations (raising taxes, losing jobs), taxing carbon pollution (killing economic growth, losing jobs) and raising taxes on high income earners (he defines what's high).

Hey, Coal fields, it looks like he's going to close some mines....that should make energy more expensive. Hmm, gotta tax fuel too. More inflation. Oh, and don't some coal miners make over 60-70K? Is that a "high income earner" in western Virginia? Same with the corporations. Higher taxes on corporations? Detroit should love that. Guess MORE companies are going to Mexico....

And he's going to end the "Iraq war." Is he going to stop spending money on the military? How about the refit of all those vehicles? If they aren't in combat, gotta fix them. Have to pay the troops, too.

Same poop, different sandwich.

Hey Dems, alot of conservatives say that McCain is a liberal. Vote for HIM. At least you'll still have a job.
