  1. Re:They had to pass Republicans in Congress. on Last Pre-Election Jobs Report Released · · Score: 1

    Keep up the spinning. You are not fooling anyone else, but with enough spin you might hypnotize yourself into believing it.

  2. Re:John Edwards' Dad rose to middle management. on Last Pre-Election Jobs Report Released · · Score: 1

    And as John Edwards points out, those same opportnities aren't there anymore. Kerry and Edwards want to bring back those types of opportunities to Americans who work hard and play by the rules.

    Obviously, you should be voting for the Kerry/Edwards ticket.

    NAFTA and WTO passed Congress because a few Dixiecrats similar to Zell Miller voted with the Republicans in the House and Senate.

    If you are against WTO and NAFTA, you should not be supporting Republicans. You are the one who has been buffaloed.

  5. John Edwards' Dad rose to middle management. on Last Pre-Election Jobs Report Released · · Score: 1

    John Edwards' father is exactly what the ideal example should be. John Edwards father was only a mill worker for a few years. He worked very hard and rose into middle management at that mill before he retired.

  6. You need to look at what's expected for bare min. on Last Pre-Election Jobs Report Released · · Score: 1

    You act like fast food jobs are easy. Ever done it? It's tiring, tedious work. I don't think George W. Bush could keep a minimum wage fast food job.

  7. They had to pass Rupublicans in Congress. on Last Pre-Election Jobs Report Released · · Score: 1

    Clinton and Gore could have held all the pep rallies they wanted. NAFTA and WTO were laws that had to pass Congress. Without the Republicans in Congress voting for the WTO and NAFTA, nothing happens.

    The Republicans in Congress are every just as much to blame for WTO and NAFTA as Clinton.

  8. They are working a crap job. That's motivated. on Last Pre-Election Jobs Report Released · · Score: 1

    Anybody who continues to show up for a minimum wage fast food job is plenty motivated already.

  9. Fine. You can explain raising kids on min. wage. on Last Pre-Election Jobs Report Released · · Score: 1

    I was making it a fairly straight forward discussion. You just made it that much harder.

  10. Then you're the only one looking at that picture. on Last Pre-Election Jobs Report Released · · Score: 1

    Republicans are far more likely to be more supportive of NAFTA and the WTO. It was the Republicans in Congress that voted for NAFTA and the WTO to get it passed. Very few Democratic members of Congress voted for NAFTA and the WTO.

  11. No. Let's look at a single person living on $9,750 on Last Pre-Election Jobs Report Released · · Score: 1

    The average adult household is now a single household.

    How does a single person live on 9,750 a year? Very badly.

  12. Re:Bush gave tax break for outsourcing jobs on Last Pre-Election Jobs Report Released · · Score: 1

    Republicans are pro-NAFTA & WTO. Please don't act like Poppy Bush or Bob Dole wouldn't have pushed for NAFTA and WTO passage if they hadn't been President.

    Only healthy people can find health insurance. If you already have prior medical conditions, you don't get insurance.

    The people who need health insurance cannot get health insurance.

  14. Re:His claim is false. on Last Pre-Election Jobs Report Released · · Score: 1

    Anyone who shows up for more than one shift of minimum wage work at a fast food place is by definition "motivated."

  15. Bush gave tax break for outsourcing jobs on Last Pre-Election Jobs Report Released · · Score: 1

    Clinton/Gore may have signed NAFTA, but Bush is the one who implimented a policy of having the US Government finance the cost of companies moving jobs out of the country.

  16. His claim is false. on Last Pre-Election Jobs Report Released · · Score: 1

    There are vast numbers of adults working in fast food jobs below management level. That is a fact.

    The same people who make the claim you just made also claim there is no global warming and say 5 stem cell lines are enough for completele stem cell medical research programs. The way the statitics were compiled hasn't changed. The same measurements that Clinton was held to, Bush is held to. It's distortions and distractions used to steer the conversation away from the fact that Bush has cause huge increases in the numbers of Amercians that have lost their health insurace under Bush.

    It's really great to have you here....but Mr. Vice President, are you still trying to push that nonsense that Saddam attacked the US? There never was any evidence backing up that charge whatsoever. It's fiction.

  21. Bush gave tax break for outsourcing jobs, not Dems on Last Pre-Election Jobs Report Released · · Score: 1

    Bush is the one who decided to finance companies moving their jobs to foreign countries, not Democrats.

  22. It's hard work flipping burgers. on Last Pre-Election Jobs Report Released · · Score: 1

    It's hard work being a truly motivated fast food employee. It's hard work trying not to get sick when you have no health insurance.

    It's hard work promising all those education budgets, then refusing to spend the money once it's allocated to the programs.

  24. Then who was on the planes to Pakistan? on Campaigns Wary About October Surprise · · Score: 3, Interesting

    You are wrong. I don't know if OBL is alive, but there were abundant survivors from the caves of Tora Bora who were allowed through the lines of the warlords and were flown out of Afghanistan to Pakistan by Pakistani ISI. There were more than 1000 Al Queda and Taliban troops flown out by Pakistani ISI.

    Also, the SpecOps soldiers would not know what was happened on the front lines. US SpecOps personnel were withdrawn from the front lines when the warlords took over the fight at Tora Bora.
