Primary 2012: By the Pricking of my Thumbs
Posts
We are sitting at 8.7% unemployment when we were in the low 5% range before the economy tanked in the middle of '08. Lets also not forget the number of people who were unemployed for so long that they stopped looking and no longer show up in the unemployment numbers. So I think that it makes sense for the media to claim the economy or at least the job market isn't doing so well.
As for the housing market I don't think it should bounce back because everything was way overvalued.
No, I am not really communist. Yes, it is weird that I use this name.
Isn't Santorum the guy who when his wife had a miscarriage they brought the infant home so they could hold it and all that crazy stuff?
Yes that was santorum, I mean people deal with grief in different ways, but jesus that story is creepy. Also regarding the economy and how it might effect the primary.

Chrysler repays the money it was loaned, the same loans republicans were steadfastly against.
So Obama is taking money from corporations in the middle of a recession? They are the ones creating jobs!
Oh man they really bit hard here and its biting them in the ass.
Republicans wrong on Osama Bin Laden, wrong on detroit, wrong for america.
Supply side economics doesn't really work. This is not news.
"There is not a man of us who does not at times need a helping hand to be stretched out to him, and then shame upon him who will not stretch out the helping hand to his brother."
It's not that the unemployed are finding jerbs. They are no longer counted after a certain amount of time. They then end up in modern Hoovervilles and no longer count as human beings.
I hate to do this because I agree with the spirit of your post, but this is pretty much bullshit and I'm tired of hearing it everywhere
At least one guy who looks at this for a living has called. Nate Silver's pretty close and apparently thinks Sarah Palin is for sure running, but not sure what that's based on.
:^:
For everyone's reference, here's the unemployment rate including those who stopped looking.
How is it bullshit? The standard Unemployement Rate you see listed is U3 which doesn't include discouraged workers (among a few others)
Was just coming to post that. Be interesting to see if they pull their heads out and read the writing on the wall, beginning the backpedaling.

But the issue becomes the flip flop in that case. Especially in the face of a national election loss. Not to mention the tea party is not backing down, hell even in ny 26 there was a tea party canidate!
so what you're saying is that the stupidest, craziest people in america
...
will be the ones to unwittingly save it?
Yes the tea party is Trashcan Man to the republicans walking dude.
Bravo.
Isn't there a tvtropes name for when everything works out by chance all thanks to a character's horribly bumbling idiocy that everyone else tries to stop?
A seahorse graph.
They may never win, but by God, their candidates will be 100% Teabaggers.
Someone on another board linked a tea party nation email after daniels backed out that said they are taking down the establishment canidates until republicans push who they want bachmann, cain, or hahahahahah palin.
I hope they were strongly encouraged by someone with deep pockets.
Well either that or she wants to work her long con on more suckers. Honestly no polling puts her anywhere near electable. Not even Rassmusen.
You're forgetting about all that fire in her belly. Personally, I think it's just a bad bout of endometriosis from all that late-life pregnancy.
But maybe her, Pawlenty, and Santorum are going to try to combine their low-single-digit campaigns into some kind of awful Voltron of vague appeals to evangelicalism and Reaganomics.
Best plan.
