For general discussion and debate. Possible talking point: Unemployment is higher among Dems and unaligned voters than among Republicans.
Data from Rasmussen Reports national telephone surveys shows that 15.0% of Democrats in the workforce are currently unemployed and looking for a job. Among adults not affiliated with either major party, that number is 15.6% while just 9.9% of Republicans are in the same situation.

Unemployment rising, why am I not surprised?
Fri, 11/20/2009 - 10:07 ET by jefflebowskiSounds like we need a second, third and fourth stimulus! With enough borrowed stimulus money, we can all be millionaires! Welcome to the new America, or Venezuela, I can't keep them straight.

No suprise
Fri, 11/20/2009 - 10:16 ET by ConservativeClarkNo suprise here. Republicans and Conservatives are either working or out looking for work. Liberal Democrats are sitting at home waiting for that "Obama money". Who cares about being unemployed when Obama is going to pay your mortgage, car payment, electric bill, etc.? According to Libs, we should all line up to drink from the Well of Socialism.
"A Conservative hears a radio talk show host he doesnt like, he changes the station. A Liberal hears a radio talk show host he doesnt like, he tries to shut them down."

Fri, 11/20/2009 - 10:25 ET by Willis_Leon_JohnsonThis is an issue?
Well correct me if I'm wrong.
Democrat politicians run on a platform of getting rid of 'rich' people and making everybody equally poor.
Voters made their voices loud and clear that they wanted their 'hopes' "changed" to dispair.
"REgress" is doing their best to achieve that goal.

muslims and women
Fri, 11/20/2009 - 11:33 ET by jon_torlinBK, it's not the administration so much as it's how muslims treat women as second class citizens or worse.
I'm saying that because the LOTUS is a muslim. Look how he treated Michelle during the campaign, sending them to the back after introducing her and kids, how she doesn't go with him into muslim countries, and so on. Sure, he might have women in cabinet positions, but they are useful idiots, he's using them.
So what does this administration have against women, you ask? It's the muslim way, that's what.

Part of me says poetic
Fri, 11/20/2009 - 10:32 ET by Dan The Man 2Part of me says poetic justice, then I think it probably has little to do. Its not causation and the corelation between the Dems being out of work and the Repubs is most likely nonexistant. It might be to mindset or the type of work done.
There might be some small corelation between the impetus to work or find work and the Dem and GOP mindset.
The Dem is more likely to believe the government is going to solve it and they will be getting work or be called back or to sit on his but and collect unemployment which was recently extended.
The Republican might be more self sufficient and be actively looking out for his current job or looking for work.
And now the unemployed can look forward to spending their

How can an unemployed person find the money to buy insurance when they are desperately trying to keep a roof over their head or food in their belly?? Not all of the unemployed are deadbeats!
I'm sure all those people who were traversing America by rail, knocking on doors for food or work in the 30s, would have enjoyed knowing that not only were they out of work and starving, but that they faced jail for NOT having health insurance!!!!!

'Doubling down on stupid is not a particularly good idea'~Breitbart
let's be fair, now
Fri, 11/20/2009 - 11:43 ET by Candance MooreIf we weighted the numbers so that "out of work community organizer" counted as a career, a large portion of this would disappear.
Only just
Fri, 11/20/2009 - 12:00 ET by StarAZIf these Dems are still looking in 2013, they will have to come up with the cash to buy a health policy, let the IRS decide whether they are destitute, or go to jail. Hope they know that. Hey--he's your guy--rejoice!

VDH on Palin
Fri, 11/20/2009 - 12:36 ET by slickwillie2001VDH has a great article on Palin's appeal. He compares Palin's background to the typical Northeastern Ivy-League elites:
"I would trust the judgment of someone with Palin’s background on matters of Iran or Honduras or Putin far more than I would someone of Obama’s resume. I would trust my neighbor who farms 180 acres more than I would a chairman of an academic department. I know, I know, there are extreme binaries, but they are reflective of the lack of autonomy and physicality today and the undue emphasis on elite schooling as prerequisites for success. We know now that you can do nothing and still finish as the head of Harvard Law Review, or win a Nobel Prize, but if you miss an antlered moose, or run out of gas in the tundra, or fall overboard on a salmon boat, there is no Norwegian committee or Harvard Law Dean to bail you out."

All I can say is, it is a damn good thing for Nick (Bozo) Balzano that Kevin Anderson isn't my child.

Dave...by the way...I saw on a crawl at C-SPAN senate site yesterday that he made it...guess I should look for a link.

Bootz
Fri, 11/20/2009 - 13:19 ET by ricklailI was listening to a caller to Boortz's show yesterday tell Herman Cain that if Neal didn't stop taking off so much it was going to be the Herman Cain Show with special guest host Neal Boortz.

There is no point dwelling on all the foolish mistakes we have made in our lives. For one thing, it can be very time-consuming. Dr. Thomas Sowell
rick,
Fri, 11/20/2009 - 17:55 ET by R D HelmYeah, I heard that, too.
Neal's in the process of moving, and they had to get out of their place quick, so he had to take off yesterday.
That's fine, as Herman does right well, whether filling in for Neal or doing his own gig at night.

Leahy to world: I'm a big dumbass and I'll prove it
Fri, 11/20/2009 - 15:35 ET by Jack BauerThe science is settled, he consensus is in.
The Democrat party is stuffed full of the congenitally stupid. And the evidence is peer reviewed.
This is a UNITED STATES SENATOR today on C-Span
Patrick Leahy (D)

Good Grief!

Patrick Leahy speaks, and removes all doubt.
Mr. Shy's loony-left family
Fri, 11/20/2009 - 18:32 ET by MrShyI sent out an email urging my (mostly) liberal friends/relatives to vote down the HC bill. My two liberal brothers email back, with the following:
My quasi-liberal brother in California says his health insurance is "a joke" and asks me if I have insurance (which, as a freelancing single male, I have chosen not to have it, for now) and that going-government is better than what we have now, essentially.
My hardcore liberal brother sends me a link to.... wait for it.... a YouTube clip of Michael Moore's "Sicko". No, I'm not making this up.
:p
Hello Floridians! I found a Bill Nelson v-mail box still open!
Fri, 11/20/2009 - 18:32 ET by BlondeOkay Floridians...I called every single phone number for our erstwhile Space-Based senator (the one in DC is just f'd).
There is one office of our erstwhile Democrat Senator that still has a non-full voice-mail box.
I left a rather pointed message...then handed the phone to my 87 year old mum and told her to go leave her own (she did great!!!).
OK Floridians...here's the number to call:
FILL IT UP.
I hope he fails, too.

Fri, 11/20/2009 - 18:50 ET by CatherwoodPride and honor. The Democrats have none.
Call your cable or satellite company and demand that they remove CNN, MSNBC, and MTV from your entertainment package. Stop subsidizing the liberal left.
Oprah -Hilarious
Fri, 11/20/2009 - 19:28 ET by slickwillie2001Just saw video of Oprah on Fox News making her announcement, saying -"these years with you, my viewers, have enriched my life beyond measure..."
Isn't that the truth.
