8 STRAIGHT MONTHS OF JOB LOSSES!
Edited on Fri Sep-05-08 07:50 AM by HughBeaumont
Does it need to be YELLED to you fence sitters, you "undecideds", you "keepin' me SAYFE"ers, you 28%-er idiots??

8 STRAIGHT MONTHS of JOB LOSSES!!

I don't know WHAT's going to convince these people that Repukes are proven losers and failures when it comes to issues that matter: war, economy, debt, budget, cleanliness, management . . . you name it, they SUCK at it. And McCaine and his Alaskan Shiny Object aint-a gonna be ANY different, no matter what his laissez-faire economists and free-trader ex-CEO staff tell you.

You're never going to get a logical explanation on how a McCain presidency will be economically different from a Reagan or (pick one) Bewsh presidency if their historical track records have given the middle class, working class or poor so much grief these past 28 years.

So will this convince you NOT to vote more of the same? PLEASE??? FINALLY??

2. It's really been a lot more than that.
The Labor statistics have been cooked for a long time to look better than they are.

The number of jobs needed to be created JUST TO STAY EVEN to account for things like 18 year old entering the job market, etc. was always considered to be 250,000. We have really had net job loss for a long time and not to mention the numbers of people who are underemployed (part time when they want full-time) or overemployed (they have to work 2-3 jobs to keep heads above water, not to mention that they drop people off the unemployment rolls at some predetermined time, so the longest term unemployed are also under reported.

Someday, maybe Krugman or someone can do a nice summary of what really happened in the Bush years.

6. By the fake teeth of Rudy 9iu11iani, I believe you're RIGHT!
I think a dumb thing for McCane to do would be to talk about the economy. Instead, he should steal everything Barack Obama already said. THAT will win the base over!

Oh wait, isn't Sarah Failin' the one who's running for President?

Well, with economically sound candidates such as this, who needs enemas?

:silly: :silly: :silly: :silly: :silly: :silly:
