Attention Swing State Voters
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the new regional unemployment numbers from the Bureau of Labor Statistics came out today and…well…your local economy sucks. Over the last few months, your unemployment has been rising again and you’re still nowhere near the low unemployment you had when Bush came into office :
The simple fact is the economic policies of the Bush Administration have had a disastrous effect on your local economy’s ability to recover from the recession. If this was a true “recovery”, you should be seeing a steady increase in job growth and a steady decrease in the unemployment rate. Unfortunately, neither one of these seems to be the case. Are you better off than you were four years ago? I don’t think so…

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
while all of these graphs start rising sharply around 9/11, its interesting to note all of them have their highest points in 2003 or 2004, well after bush’s tax cuts had, uh, “taken effect.”

This is the sort of confusing demagoguery that will make America lose WWIII. I don’t see a graph of newly painted schools anywhere on your site…
Greg, why don’t you take your pinko facts back with you to Afghanistan?

Greg, you must realize that the production of any “chart” can only be interpreted as “confusing demagoguery.” You see, you are presenting facts and waiting for the viewer or listener to draw their own conclusions.
The Republican party has short-routed this method, by simply telling people what to think. No facts, no interpretation, no conclusions, no waiting. The listener discovers immediately what to say and think, and this saves a great deal of time. It is simpler. It isn’t “demagoguery.”
So you have to stop bothering to give the listener any chance to piece together the various viewpoints in order to come up with their own ideas. You must tell them what to think. And use one syllable words.

Intresting, all but Ohio, are the same rate as when Clinton was in office. Those dumbass Republicans can’t seem to do anything right! You’d think they would wise up and say screw the ungateful bastards, lets automate everything. Let them to produce their own job. After all that is the American way, producing your own job, that is. I mean, we are talking about hateful republicans here, aren’t we?
Hey, this is kinda fun. I can sit here a call these people what ever I want , and if the come back at me, I can just point at them and tell anyone that will listen how mean these people are.
