So, with more positive job data, what will Republicans complain about next...

[Drunken Irishman]

They can't talk about the economy and the 'hug-gate' issue seems to have blown up in their face.

So, what's their next attack? Obama is too tall? Obama is too nice? Obama saved our economy too quickly?!?

1. They are switching to alternat measures.

They started that earlier this week in anticipation of a decent jobs report.

Right now they are trying to compare Gallup's report, which isn't seasonally-adjusted, to the BLS numbers and trying to claim that the BLS numbers are fraudulent.

The majority of the extreme right-wing is DESPERATE while some are actually deluded enough to believe that the economy is still going backwards.

2. They say they add the numbers wrong

or they say not enough jobs and look at that gas price...

3. THEY'RE COOKIN' THE BOOKS!

4. Gas prices & threatening Iran.

Newt's already taken up gas prices as his big issue, with his ridiculous $2.50/gallon promise/slogan/logo.

And the three main GOP contenders, excluding Ron Paul, are stepping up the saber-rattling with Iran.

[high density]

5. Yep

Newt wants to crater the economy to bring us back to January 2009 gas prices. And of course, talk about war with Iran lowers gas prices, too!

6. 'the media'

Republicans complain about 'the media' more often than Rasheed Wallace complains about referees.

7. They have a long list of important issues they can bring up:

Birth control, same-sex marriage, war on religion, college student snobbery....then there's always...Obama born in Timbuktu.

8. what is the 'hug-gate'?
