1. I had a bush co-worker tell me yesterday
when I confronted him about his view on the labor statistics and pointing out that another couple of thousand people were laid off a few days ago in PA, he said

"but 5.5 is better than clinton, and 2000 aint that many."

at which ponit I said, "OMG, dude, have you been sleeping for the past 4 years? THIS SHIT HAS BEEN GOING ON EVERY DAY! Do you know what 2000 people look like? if that happend here we would lose our jobs with them(i work retail)"


and then he said that there were 600000 jobs created last month and that the economy is booming. I laughed in his face and told him to stop watching faux and listening to limpballs.


I slammed some info in his face from the web and told him the US Dept. Of Labor states otherwise..... He still didn't believe me and then said that Kerry lied about his medals and that 500 guys that served with him said so.....

I am working on him, he is starting to get dumbfounded and It won't be long before he finds the truth.

2. Kerry's medals were a vast conspiracy
The RW screams like Kerry plotted out his whole Vietnam experience with the thought of running for President in 35 years or so. Somehow Kerry fooled the Navy into giving him those medals.
