"We're seeing a premium for Republicans," Ivan H. Adler, a lobbyist for the McCormick Group in Washington, told the newspaper. "They're the new 'It' girl." It's potentially a new ballgame for the GOP, whose members had a hard time finding political jobs in the private sector after Barack Obama was elected.JPMorgan Chase, among at least a dozen recent hires, brought in Mel Martinez, the former Republican senator from Florida, as a senior executive. Robert L. Wilkie, a top Pentagon official in the administration of President George W. Bush, was hired by CH2M Hill, a construction and design firm, as a vice president overseeing military projects. And Research in Motion, which makes the BlackBerry, hired Jason C. Scism, a top Republican aide to Representative Darrell Issa of California, into an executive spot that was last held by a Democrat.
Did you really think that after vspending all that money on union bailouts and govwerment jobs that the private sector would just roll over..think again you have awakened a sleeping giant.....the working american people who want to keep what they make not share it with you

Consider what the GOP has offered regarding deficit reduction? Absolutely nothing. In fact if they reduce more taxes, the deficit will balloon even more. Ask your GOP candidate their plan to reduce the deficit. If they tell you reducing taxes, to stimulate the economy or that it will promote supply side economics, remember been there and done that twice Reagonomic added $3 trillion to the national debt and W added another $6 or so trillion.

Obama has spent a ton of money with no results. fact he can spend a ton of money again and he will get nothing. The people and businesses are uncomfortable with his agenda and everything is on hold until after the November elections. Watch what happens right after the election and the republicans take over. People will start to spend and unemployment will drop simply because Obama has been neutralized.

THE WRITING ON THE WALL IS A REVERSAL OF THE LAST 18 MONTHS, and a logjam in Wahington for the next 30 months.This is good for employment.
