Kerry's running mate, John Edwards, gently put the numbers in perspective. He noted that more than 300,000 children were born in the United States last month, suggesting that only 32,000 new jobs showed "we're not quite keeping up."

How did this goofball ever get to be a lawyer?

[RockinRight]

How do voters think that electing a widow-chaser and trial lawyer that are going to raise taxes is going to help the economy?

[Betaille]

I think if Bushs main tax cuts had phased in in 2002 rather than 2003, he would be 10 points ahead right now. Just like his father, Bush seems to have timed his recovery to come just in time for his opponent to prosper on.

[tomnbeverly]

And yes those children were born not aborted by both of these hypocrites.

[madprof98]

He noted that more than 300,000 children were born in the United States last month

This is a serious problem. Edwards should get his buddies at Planned Parenthood to kill more of these useless eaters.

[DustyMoment]

Kerry can spin it however he wants - the facts remain.

Fact #1 The economy still grew.

Fact #2 32,000 new jobs were still created.

Fact #3 Unemployment still went down.

Fact #4 For Kerry to have a chance at the WH, he has to make facts 1-3 appear to be "bad things".

Fact #5 It ain't gonna happen.

More abortions! Think of how that will prop up the stem-cell markets! Democrats are such brilliant economists.

[Zyke]

John Kerry and his horse walked into a bar.

The bartender asked, "Why the long faces."


Guess the economy is looking pretty good to most. The liberal nominees are sour pusses. I would hate to be a liberal democrat. I would be depressed all the time.

[WOSG]

"The economy doesn't go away as a campaign issue," said Andrew Kohut, the director of the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press. "And with no sign of progress, it really puts the Republicans on the defensive."

The economy is doing GREAT. Fastest growth in 2 decades. Highest employment ever. Productivity gains in the past 4 years have been tremendous.

Folks, help me out - point me to the overall economic numbers. We need an 'economy fact sheet' to rebut this nonsense.

[freebilly]

WOW! 268,000 newborns are unemployed! Another reason for the liberals to support abortion....

[Condor51]

With all due respect, it's apparent you don't see the problem with this, to wit:

IF Skerry-Backwards do get elected, God forbid, Two Year Olds will be forced to work do to their new 98% tax bracket (98% of Americans get taxed on 98% of everything)

:-)

My grandfather didn't start working in the mill until he was twelve. Shouldn't newborns wait until they are weaned before they start flipping burgers.

[FITZ]

All that could happen is if Kerry gets elected, the media will suddenly proclaim the economy is wonderful and great, even when it becomes worse. Just as the Clinton economy was always bad --- jobs were being outsourced at a very high rate in the early 90's but the media ignored it all.

[steplock]

"Edwards: newborns out pace jobs"

Their fix?

It's easy - Destroy the newborns! It is only "fetal tissue" after all, isn't it? And we can then use it for creating clones of clintons, kennedy, kerry, etc - who could deserve it more?

Yeah, and if we put them (the children) to work, he'd be decrying it as a return to the days of child labor.

Whadda maroon. (tip o' the hat to Bugs Bunny)

Wonder if he and Kerry were bullied for being wussy-boys/know-it-alls in grade school to high school? Just a hunch I have by observation of others of like-kind.

[visagoth]

I think kEdwards should do a bit of demographic study before they start making blanket statements: A quick Google search for "the coming job crisis" will bring you to an interesting .PDF from Ken Blanchard, that speaks to the changing demographic study that refutes kEdwards claims.

Even better yet, see Impending Crisis: Too Many Jobs, Too Few People, by Roger Herman:

There’s a dangerously growing shortage of skilled workers to fill jobs. Projections from the Bureau of Labor Statistics forecast a shortage of skilled 10,033,000 workers by 2010. And this shortage is simply raw numbers; it doesn’t fully address the growing skills gap. The numbers also don’t take into account the changing attitudes in the workforce.

This crisis is just around the corner. Trends are converging to create an unprecedented dilemma for employers throughout the free world. Because so few corporate leaders are fully aware of their predicament, executives who do prepare for the new operating environment will lead their organizations to a bright future; those who ignore the threat risk dangerous vulnerability.

Even Monster.com has a nice report on the same 'problem'

Typical comments from a pro-abortion candidate. The facts are clear. Abortions in July topped the 100,000 mark. How does Johnnie Edwards explain the death of so many unborn human lives to the abomination of abortion on demand?

[GailA]

The Kerry plan to reverse what Democrats called the anemic job growth also involves controlling health care costs and energy costs.

can you say price controls?

[FairOpinion]

This is preposterous -- more of Edwards' "Junk science" and misdirections.

Teh babies born today won't be in the work force for at least 18 years, most likely 22 years (after college).

Does Edwards know how many jobs there will be available in 20 years?

The jobs created today are only relevant to people elegible for the workforce today.

They are really grasping at straws, and also counting on the stupidity of the people. I certainly hope the American people are smarter, than to fall for this utter nonsense.

[Southack]

"In contrast, Kerry seized on the numbers with relish."

What does it say about a man's character and patriotism that he relishes bad news for his own country?

Also, Senator Kerry and Senator Edwards are in no position to criticize President Bush on the economy. If they have a better idea for our economy, they can submit a bill to the Senate with that idea in it.

They haven't. Senator Kerry has had 20 years in the Senate to submit a better idea. Instead, he's voted to raise taxes in more than 300 Senate bills.
