Damn! AZ Republicans are mean, hateful people.

Quote:Jobless benefits extension fails; special session ends with no action

Arizona lawmakers on Monday refused to extend unemployment benefits for the long-term unemployed, meaning 15,000 people will get their last checks this week.

The inaction makes Arizona one of the few states eligible for the extra federal aid that didn't accept it. Other states, such as Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, are still debating similar measures.

The abrupt end of the special session also is a defeat for Gov. Jan Brewer. The Republican governor called lawmakers back to the Capitol last week with an appeal to throw a lifeline to Arizonans hammered by the recession.

Legislative Republicans, however, were unmoved. Reasons varied. They included the theory that extended unemployment checks - an average of $216 a week - are a disincentive to seeking work. Some lawmakers said rebuffing the benefits would help reduce the federal deficit.

Reading the comments shows that there are a lot of mean, hateful people that vote for them again and again. Unfortunately, stupid people, as well as mean, hateful people get to vote.

Who sucked the soul from these mean, hateful people?

[NJMaverick]

Now doubt! Of course they are just as mean and hateful in the rest of the nation.

It's like the mean and hateful people are just let out of a cage and want to inflict as much damage as they can before they're put back. Look at the crap the teapub governors and their lackeys have passed, all of it hurts the people and they just keep on passing more. What made this the time for them to rear up and show their asses?

Nice. And this is supposed to help the economy how?

I swear it seems as if Republican State Legislatures and Gov's are trying to out-do each other in how evil they can be.

Perhaps this is why they gather in hot climates... like the cold blooded lizards they are.

Apologies to the portion of the AZ citizenry who have working brain cells and love their state despite the leaders they are forced to endure.

Mean, hateful and bigot are synonyms for "Republican"

They will be the first to complain when the state hits rock bottom. Those that are commenting probably are impacted and receiving benefits of some type.

I am getting to the point to when it does happen I don't give a shit about these Freeper Freaks. Using a Boehner phrase......"So Be it"!!
