GOP Counting On 2 Things Re: 1.3 Million Unemployed Losing Benefits.

1. These people won't be allowed to vote because of new voting laws.
2, The GOP will blame Dems so these people vote GOP because the MSM will carry the GOP message.

GOP is not worried about these workers because in their view their base will protect the GOP because the base supports them on this matter. My view is cynical I know, but I see little reason to think differently because I see NO outrage and the media is burying any mention of these people.

The ironic thing about this of course is that eliminating unemployment benefits will cause those unemployed to drop out of the workforce, economists are predicting the unemployment rate will drop sharply in the next 6 months now.

And who benefits from that? Democrats. Even if its a false figure it will give an impression that Obama's working miracles with the economy. GOP have shot themeselves in the foot with this one. LOL.
