The mendacity of the media is incredible. How can anything that lies so much have so much credibility with the masses??

Heck in 1993 it peaked at 7%

Under Bush it hasn't gone over 6.5%

WITH 9/11, Two major conflicts, Business Corruption, ect.

The mainstream meadia would make you thing that we're mired in a depression. Here in Orange County, CA, the bread lines are especially long with unemployment at a shocking 3.5%.

You have to remember who was in Office then. To them Billy Jeff "personally created" jobs while President Bush personally calls every employer in the country to lay off people and tells companies to move overseas, or so they make you think

I just called my friend/co-worker.

He didn't believe me about these figures, So I email him the site and information. He literally said "Well this changes everything..."

What suprised me the most is how brainwashed people are, I seriously coudn't believe these figures when I saw them. I hope the Bush Campaign uses them.

I can't wait to hit my supposedly "independent" buddy with these numbers. He keeps spewing the line about everybody flipping burgers or stocking shelves at Wal-Mart for $6.00 an hour, "the ones lucky enough to have a job."

What a load of guano.

The job situation out there now sucks for the middle class. However, it sucked when Bush1 lost too. It's the media that made the clinton run good, and the Bush run 'bad'.
