Don’t forget that 9% unemployment means 91% employment. Most people still have jobs and probably won’t see the need to take a chance on someone who’s been advocating extreme solutions.
It it simply impossible for the Republicans to promote any credible jobs plan without contradicting the “hyperbolic ventilating” we’ve been hearing from them since ’08.
All it takes is a little common sense.[/quote]
Pri: Do you really believe that unemployment is ONLY 9%? Have you done any reading on this subject at all? REAL unemployment, that is the TRUE measure of unemployment that includes underemployment and those out of work for more than a year, is actually in the 15% to 17% range.
Also, your jab at the lack of a Republican plan conveniently ignores Obama’s total lack of leadership on this issue. Hence my reference to the chattering classes at the NYT and WashPost (and, yes, they’re widely read on the Left and Center-Left), as they provide an excellent “finger on the pulse” of the Democratic Party.
You elide often, my friend, and posit “facts” that aren’t, like your “facts” surrounding the Nazis and Soviets in the 1930s and 1940s and their actions in Central and Eastern Europe. If the facts don’t fit the circumstances, so what, right?
