well a drop in the bucket is more than "there will be be no impact whatsoever", which 40% of people still voted for. if only 1 job was created, there should still be no votes for that answer....:roll:

As some stated previously, 144,000 jobs only keps up with the population growth. In other words, it just maintained the staus quo, and since they are lower paying jobs, we actually lost ground.

How can that be construed by anyone with half a brain as an "improving" economy?

Would you settle for preventing the economy from getting worse?

Further, I once again call your attention to the fact that there is no evidence to support the repeated statements that new jobs have lower wages.

Finally, I ask what Kerry is going to do to improve the job situation. He has already admitted that ten million jobs over the next ten years will occur if nothing changes. His statements that Bush is at fault for the loss of manufacturing jobs also doesn't hold water.

I don't need to look on the internet for facts and figures to see what is going on in my area. I just go down to the Mall and see what has happened in this area. I can see the results with my own eyes and it is REAL.

I also don't need a bunch of political analysts telling me what to think and who to vote for. I can decide based on my own experiences on who to vote for, thank you very much. I won't settle for the economy just holding it's own. It's time for a change. I've know it for years and finally the bad economy in the rural areas has began to spread to more urban areas. Maybe there will fianally be a change in Administration and Policy. I will do you a favor and vote for Kerry. You'll thank me later.

Taking a discrete sample at one point in time in one location then applying it to all time and all space in our country is ludicrous, and is not the basis for good judgment. This is like me going down to the Mississippi River and throwing a net in. Pulling it out 30 seconds later, I didn't catch any fish. Therefore, there must not be any fish in the entire river, nor will there be in the foreseeable future.

The reason that people listen to statistics is because they capture what is really going on around the country, not your solitary sample. Political analysts are the relevant experts in their field - ignoring them is like going to the doctor and ignoring him when he tells you you have a brain tumor. It is, of course, important to select which political analysts to put your faith in, as many are biased.
