Why do Dems allow repukes to use the Unemployment # talking point?

[0rganism]

Yeah, the unemployment rate is down, because a lot of people have been unemployed so long they can't collect anymore! Still others aren't collecting because they've taken minimum wage temp jobs. Job creation is stagnant, not even keeping up with population growth, and yet the pukes keep up the spin. If I had a nickel for every puke I've heard spinning the Unemployment rate, I wouldn't have to work another day in my life.

WHY DO DEMOCRATS ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN?

1. I don't let them get away with it.

I refer them to the BLS website and ask them to find the group for whom unemployment has dropped. Then I laugh.

2. Well, why aren't you a TV pundit, dammit? We need your smackdowns!

6. My wife won't let me.

3. I don't know why, but

If you let everything get almost as bad as it can get, and then praise it when it gets better is what I'd be complaining about. It should have never gotten so bad in the first place! Its great that you had the highest number of job growth in your presidential term, but that is only because you lost so many in the first place!

4. They get away with it because they "own" the media

and whenevr "our" people are invited on shows they have 15 seconds to rebut some blowhard repube..and of course no one who actually KNOWS facts ever gets invited on anyway..

Most of the time the only ones who are invited are the milquetoast guys, or the most outrageous ones..

We do not have 16 hours a day every day on all radio channels , not do we have 100% of the cable shows in our control..

5. I always quickly correct people and point that out

But then again, I don't get to debate the talking heads on Faux...

Why don't more prominent Dems point this out? I wish I knew.

7. They are not

Bushes numbers are steadily dropping because more and more people know and feel the reality.

Nobody says i'll vote for bush because upenployment is down .2%

Ife they and their friends are working and have money to spend they'll vote for him. Unfortunastely for him, more and more people and or their friends and family are experiencing the opposite.

This and this alone will wake them up to just what a horror the repukes are and the abyss to which they are taking ameica.
