1. Whichever you choose, note that "home ownership" is only at 3%

Guess that just isn't as compelling as * thinks it is. Doh!

[madmax]

2. Anyone have a 6th sense?

How do you think Lou feels about Kerry and his plan.

I know - it was only one quick interview but, what are your impressions?

[MoonRiver]

3. Whatever he thinks, Lou threw Kerry softballs.

Lou doesn't usually do that, so I assume he approves.

[mot78]

4. Interesting

I used to think Dobbs was a RW shill, but he's really starting to grow on me.

[R3dD0g]

17. Dobbs WAS a RW shill

He 'quit' when a Clinton press conference interrupted his program.

Flush Slimeball was mightily indignant about Clinton 'costing' Dobbs his job. I bet now the Flushmeister wouldn't mind if Lou took a long walk on a short pier.

I wish there were some archive of the Slimeball's programs so that we could compare and contrast his positions then and now.

5. Kerry looked well rested,

and started to deliver his economic plan, highlighting a 5% corporate tax cut to be paid for by removing tax incentives for outsourcing jobs. A good start. He will need to sharpen his presentation as he was somewhat repetitive, although this could be due to Dobbs failure to ask decent follow up questions. It looks like the game is very much afoot.

22. That's a good photo of him. v. flattering.

[Feanorcurufinwe]

7. Dobbs is practically reciting Kerry's stump speech

Bush is 'stubbornly sticking to his' plan.

I love it.

[Padraig18]

12. I think Lou Dobbs despises Chimpy

That's what I think.

[Adelante]

13. Lou Dobbs

is seriously upset over the outsourcing of American jobs. He has been pounding on this since last fall and never letting up. It's a big change for him, but the Democratic position is all of a sudden more fitting than the Republican.

[MoonRiver]

19. And, Lou has the personal integrity to do and say what he feels is right.

This is a growing trend among the few remaining decent Repubs. :thumbsup:

6. Of all of those idicators, there aren't any real good choices.

Home ownership is the worst. I would go with job creation.

[VOX]

8. At the moment, 91% in this poll agree about home ownership...

But you're right, these choices are rather simplistic and limited.

[kiahzero]

10. Actually, they agree about job creation (n/t)

[Frances]

9. As someone said to me,

If people don't have jobs, how will they be able to buy things? And if they do not buy things, what will happen to our economy as a whole?

[emulatorloo]

15. apparently "Home Ownership" is W's choice, as he was making great

claims for it today in New Mexico as an economic indicator of how strong the Bush economy is. . . .

[Wonk]

11. mp3 here

1 M

[spooky3]

14. thanks, Wonk! Job creation still 91%.

[Wonk]

18. vp3 video too

17 M

[Narraback]

16. Jobs is in front.

What do you believe is the best measure of the strength of the U.S. economy?

Home ownership 2% 81 votes

Job creation 91% 3439 votes

GDP 6% 216 votes

Stock market 1% 49 votes
Total: 3785 votes

[IndianaGreen]

20. I voted for job creation

If I have a job, and my friends and neighbors have jobs (as we all did when Clinton was President), then the economy is fine.

The economy is NOT fine!

[Florida_Geek]

21. When I (single male) made my normal contract rate of

$55 per hour. I paid $20,000 or so in Federal Income Tax. I have not worked for over 2 years and have paid ZERO in Federal Income Tax.

More people working, the more money the government gets.

More people working, the more companies have to pay new people shit I remember in the good old Clinton days, people getting out of college starting at $50,000+.

Yes jobs make the economy go round.
