First, Republicans had to teach their members how to talk to women. Seems the knuckle – draggers needed some help in that department.
Now, after voting to deny unemployment insurance to the unemployed, another memo has surfaced. This time, Republicans are trying to teach their members how to appear as if they care about the unemployed.
Of course, this too is all a sham intended to fool the American people into thinking Republicans care. But they are not fooling anybody, except the sad folks who watch Fox News.
In the memo, which was obtained by The Washington Post, House Republicans are urged to be empathetic toward the unemployed and understand how unemployment is a “personal crisis” for individuals and families. The memo also asks Republicans to reiterate that the House will give “proper consideration” to an extension of long-term insurance as long as Democrats are willing to support spending or regulatory reforms.
A bipartisan Senate bill that would extend benefits for the long-term unemployed cleared a procedural hurdle Tuesday, with six Republicans joining Democrats to vote for it. But the bill faces an uncertain future in the upper chamber, where it will have to clear another 60-vote hurdle before moving to a final vote.
