U.S. Rep. Peter Roskam (R-IL) said he doesn't expect to see President Barack Obama embrace bipartisanship in his State of the Union address Tuesday night, according to CNBC.
He said he'd like to be surprised with some bipartisanship from Obama, but thinks the speech will be his "Inauguration Speech 2.0."
The following message is from Peter Roskam's office:
The President’s Illinois Worldview Isn’t Growing the Economy
“You take Illinois spending patterns and extrapolate that onto the U.S. economy and that’s where the president is proposing to lead us—to about $26 trillion in debt. I don’t think we’re going to hear a lot about how the president can grow the economy through the private sector and why unemployment is still at a nagging 7.9 percent. I think that's where the action is and what he should be talking about but I don't think that's what we'll be hearing.”
Democrats Still Want More New Revenues from Taxpayers
“Already they are going back into the old democrat muscle memory. And that is, let's go to the taxpayers yet again, even though, right at the end of December a huge boost in terms of new tax revenues is coming in with the tax hike.”
The State of the Union address will be 8 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 12.
Get over it. You lost in November. The republicans are on their way to the dustbin of history.
The republicans must really hate women.
the leftists say that conservatives are 'anti-science'. I would offer that liberals lack common sense. And besides, isn't it obvious that this glob...climate change scheme is a redistribution of wealth scheme? How is it that these people who are so quick to connect the dots when it comes to the influence of corporations on politics are so unwilling to follow the money when it comes to global warming. More liberal agenda aimed at the low information voter...which is pretty much Obama's bloc.
Julie Bowowski can explain it to you...suffice to say, like most liberal bills, the name of the bill is deceiving. Now David, when did you stop beating your wife? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQMLM4vGbtI
The prominent scientist who came up with the infamous hockey stick graph got caught asking his 'scientist' friends to "hide the decline". BobB, have you received your Obama phone yet? You may be eligible.
right? and now Obama wants to introduce another 'cap and trade' scheme? No. Way.
Mark, tell me why the 'violence against women act' should include gays? are you calling them women? Mark, when did you stop beating your boyfriend? uh..don't answer. i think i know.
By the same token, you don't see Barack Obama working to woo individual Republicans the way that Ronald Reagan wooed individual Democrats. When Reagan was trying to get the Kemp-Roth tax cut bill passed, he was having Democrats (and reluctant Republicans) over for lunch, cocktails, and dinner, as well as phone calls, to point out poll results from constituents. Someone once joked that the deficit would increase, even if the tax bill failed, simplye because of the hospitality costs at the White House. Perhaps if the President invited Rep. Roskam over for a couple of drinks while watching a Bulls or Blackhawks game, the two might start to see eye to eye on a few more issues.
Poking me with some sort of gay slur when I mention civil rights for homosexuals reminds me of a time -- only a handful of decades ago -- when conservatives threw a certain slur at whites who supported civil rights for black people. You know what I'm talking about, right Danny Boy? But like I said, nowadays, the only group the GOP hates more than the blacks are gays.
Let's compare to how the Democrats treat black people. For good examples, you can look at Detroit, Chicago, Philadelphia, Norfolk, Camden, Oakland..and the list goes on. Democrat leadership in these places has kept the black people poor and uneducated, just the way the Democrats want them. They want them to remain loyal and low information voter.
