What's with the latest Repuke talking point about the record employment numbers under Bush...

...that I've been hearing lately? I've heard the same talking point fired off several times over the past few days, most recently by some caller on Schultz today.

The only employment data I remember is bad - either all service industry, part time jobs. Very few that can sustain the average human.

Anyone noticed this trend?

1. yes. It's not your imagination.

Very selective information, that.

2. Yes, a caller on Ed Schultz today was spouting this bullshit

remember if they say it over and over and click their heels then it becomes a fact, even when all of the evidence points somewhere else!

3. It's amazing how they selectively document history...

Soon, 9/11 will have happened under Obama's watch...

4. Someone needs to research that. I think I heard they fiddled with the

numbers again very recently.

5. Didn't they once try to say

making burgers should be considered manufacturing?

[Union Thug]

6. That's right! I remember that.
