Some freepers are getting it, re lost jobs in America
I am beginning to think that the effects of the bad economy and the lost jobs are beginning to have an impact on their thinking. Unless this freeper thread is made up of non freepers, this says something about the coming election.

For those who hate going over there, the thread is about the 100,000 job loss in January. It looks to me like most posts would be the same as posts over here about that subject.

1. Voting Republican ...

Voting Republican this time is a sure sign that you haven't lost your job ... YET!!!!!

The president tells us we need to re-educate. Well, there isn't much education required to stock shelves at Wal-Mart. The way globablization and H-1B is going, this is all our futures.

They are importing virtually every job category you can imagine. What are we supposed to train in that they won't make a hit on???

7. fiscal responsibility
is a cornerstone of the traditional republican party. Thry're starting to realize that the current Republicans aren't traditional. At all.

5. I don't think they're quite on the same boat as us....
somewhere along the line and hidden deep in that single neuron that
they have (and refer to it as their brain...), they believe this is
all Clinton's fault.
Too funny though, liberals usually want to create jobs for Americans.
They want to extend unemployement benefits for those "lazy" unemployed
people that are watching their gains vanish.

Freepers don't understand liberals.... Remember, they don't look at
themselves or their leaders as being the cause of all this...oh no...
They just place the blame on those "damned foreigners"... :eyes:

8. These people are just dumber than dirt but....
hit them where they live long enough, and eventually some of it starts to sink in. As selfish and intolerant as they are, when it comes time for their own job to be outsourced, their own retirement raided or their own health care denied, they'll turn on their own ideology in a heartbeat.

9. Ita All about bad faith.
Eventually the Neo Cons will go after the conservative base too.
Its just the way they do business.

I am sure there is a sanctimonious justification for it if one looks hard enough.
I feel bad for the Freepers who honestly believed the current Junta in charge was looking after their interests.

. I really do. Having to deal with dispelled myths is hard.
Welcome to reality.
