Poll numbers show Democrats at disadvantage

[Savannahmann]

9. Really?

What Democrat has spoken about the 55 million people who are not considered unemployed because they have given into despair over the paucity of employment opportunities?

What Democrat has come out and said the unemployment numbers are misleading?

No, the Democrats come out and complain that the Republicans won't vote on a minimum wage bill that will help at a maximum 3 million people, and according to the GAO will lose half a million jobs. They do this while celebrating the greatest economic recovery in the history of history. At best the minimum wage hike would be a band aid on the patient who is bleeding out from a torn femoral artery.

So we turn our back on 1/6th of the population, and hope that somehow a majority of the people will vote for us because they wouldn't be dumb enough to vote against their own interests. But are we fighting for their interests? What have we given them to vote for?

Whenever we do see a discussion about jobs, it's something asinine like people given the freedom from employment. That spin followed the equally well received Funemployment stories.

It's bullshit spin and has nothing to do with reality, and it is driving away those supporters we need to vote for us.

The Republicans are complaining that President Obama is via Executive Orders changing the laws at a whim. They even use the term Imperial Presidency. Before we take a position based upon what we think the Republicans are saying, we should figure out what they are saying.
