Good economic numbers don't mean squat. Bush STILL sucks.....

The following, is a "Letter To The Editor" I just sent off to the N.Y. Times, and contains my thoughts on the matter:

Dear Editor:

With the headlines trumpeting last month's job growth, and how beneficial this is for Bush and the Republicans in the upcoming election battle, I think some have lost sight of some very important points.

Lest some forget, in the euphoria induced by the Administration's speculative economic numbers, perhaps the biggest reason many no longer support President Bush, is the fact he, and his administration, misled the country over the Iraq war. Added to that, is Bush's continued stonewalling and dissembling on issues ranging from 9/11, to the outing of CIA agent Valerie Plame. These issues have not, and did not, go away, despite the supposedly rosy economic forecasts.

Americans still face a big choice in November, and one that will not, and should not, be predicated on always mutating economic predictions. That choice, is to give their votes to someone who has been proven to have misled this nation into an unjust and costly war, and who continues to prevaricate, despite mountains of irrefutable evidence, or, to vote for someone else, in hopes that honesty and integrity can be returned to our government, ... before it's too late. For me personally, the recession could be fully over tomorrow, with unemployment at zero percent, and Mr. Bush would still not be deserving of my vote, and never will be.

Sincerely,
XXXXX XXXXXXXXX

1. Damn right! I just got a job after being out of work

for the better part of a year, and I'm not voting for him!

2. Why are people buying into this bull about 'good economic numbers'?

The economy is not creating jobs at the rate that we are losing them. And construction ALWAYS picks up in the spring. These are not new jobs, just jobs that were put on hold. I'm glad you got a job, that's great news. But tens of thousands are still losing theirs. And more have dropped off the radar because they have lost their unemployment benefits so they aren't being counted anymore.

What the hell is wrong with the American public. Do they want the future of their kids to wind up being summarized by the words "Do you want pickles on your cheeseburger"????????????

3. Bingo!

But, of course, yesterday Bush stood and took applause from the audience when he announced the new numbers, AS IF the dumb shit actually had something to do with them!

And of course, again the dutiful media revs up the propaganda machine to make these lame numbers look like the Second Coming! Will the sheeple be fooled? Why yes, I believe they will.
