Maxine Waters?
Hmmmm!
According to this piece in LA Now
"Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Los Angeles) came out swinging against Republicans in Congress on Saturday as she addressed the unemployed during a forum in Inglewood.
The event occurred a day after new statistics were released showing that California's jobless rate last month went up to 12%, from 11.8%. California now has the second-highest rate of unemployment in the nation, trailing only Nevada at 12.9%, and its jobless rate is well above the U.S. average of 9.1%.
Waters vowed to push Congress to focus on creating more jobs. "I'm not afraid of anybody," said Waters. "This is a tough game. You can't be intimidated. You can't be frightened. And as far as I'm concerned, the 'tea party' can go straight to hell."
More than 1,000 people attended "Kitchen Table Summit," which was designed to give the jobless an opportunity to vent to elected officials and share their struggles about finding a job.
KABC-TV quoted speakers talking about living without medical insurance and surviving paycheck to paycheck.
"Thank God I am healthy because a medical illness would bankrupt me," said Regina Davis of Inglewood.
Congresswomen Laura Richardson and Karen Bass also attended. Several people urged the representatives to push for a national jobs program.
According to the Employment Development Department, California employers added just 4,500 new jobs last month, a steep drop from the revised 30,400 jobs added in June."
The modern-day Tea Party movement started on an idea of bringing back responsible government and opposing taxation without representation has been maligned and cursed by those who love the status quo.
Despite a maximum effort to stay far away from any type of racial prejudice and the fact that a number of conservative black leaders belong to the movement liberals such as Waters and Charlie Rangel still portray it as a bunch of white bigots.
Hmmm! Tell that to Kenneth Gladney here who is being kissed by a white man!
Recall please that Gladney was beaten by union thugs for selling flags from his wheelchair at a Tea Party type event!
Hmmm! This type of give the people more government jobs while killing small business with taxes and regulation is what has killed California's economic situation and continues to do so!
Entire dairy operations have picked up and moved out of that state into Texas.
And this silly, ignorant dingbat gets elected again and again!
