Bingo. That and the numbers they're reporting aren't accurate in the first place because they are only reporting people currently on the unemployment roles. They are not reporting as unemployed anyone not on the unemployment roles who still aren't working but no longer qualify for unemployment. Which means the number is larger than the 5.7% guesstimation that is being presented. We're going to lose the election. These people don't care. And as near as I can tell, I'm not even a human being to them, let alone a concern. I'm just a possible cause in them not getting a better stock kickback if I could get my job back.
I never understood why people told me Republicans were heartless, cruel and insulting. I'm a pull up by the bootstraps kind of guy and have always lived the 'do what you have to to get by' life - walking a mile to work in subzero weather because that's what it takes.. I now understand why people hate this party. I understand why Bush had to use the term "compassionate" conservatism. Cause he has to cover for the element in the party that treats people like they are nothing and count for nothing.
I'll never badmouth a democrat for it again. If I've learned anything today, it's that they have solid basis for being offended by elements of our party.

This isn't about Democrats, or Republicans; both parties have their hands dirty on this. It is about finding ways to shift the national debate to resusitate interests in the US as a viable sovereign nation. The majority of conservatives, and the majority of Democrats, care about our country. Unfortunately, there is a great deal of cash and effort that is going into dividing us into two hostile camps.
