Weekly Republican Address 1/7/12: Rep. Nan Hayworth (R-NY)

In the Weekly Republican Address, Representative Nan Hayworth (R-NY) highlights House Republicans’ Plan for America’s Job Creators and the 27 bipartisan jobs bills still awaiting action in the Democrat-controlled Senate. Our national unemployment rate remains above 8 percent for 35 consecutive months–the longest stretch since the Great Depression. It’s a new year, and Americans still can’t wait for the Senate to take up these jobs bills.

Election 2012: Job Creators are the New Hotness

Meet Marc Cenedella and Mark Rosen. Marc I introduced you to a few weeks ago. He’s the CEO of TheLadders.com, and considering (or rumoured to be) a run against Kristin Gilligan in the US Senate. Mark is officially running for congress in the NY-18, and is a senior vice-president at Adecco. The both of them I think are the perfect types of candidates to draft in 2012.

You hear a lot of who is being mean, who should drop out, who’s lying…the candidates are almost on the verge of ragging on each other mothers.

There’s hasn’t been nearly enough talk aboot jobs/taxes/economy at all, and that includes the candidates themselves not talking aboot their plans (Huntsman’s and Perry’s were particularly good). Newt Gingrich tried to rectify that with a bus tour across Iowa touting his economic plan…

[VIDEO] Chris Chrstie has a Lot of Balls

This is why we love Chris Christie. We’ve all read aboot how Illinois has raised its taxes, making it unfriendly to people who run businesses there. People have been saying that this is going to be great for neighboring states, and those neighboring states Governor’s are passively saying how they would be happy to welcome these businesses to their states.

Christie, on the other hand, is airing radio commercials in the state…
