Unemployed Democrats lied to the Bureau of Labor Statistics...

This is how far Jobs Report Trutherism has sunk in only a few hours.

The BLS household survey showed large job increases, resulting in the 7.8% unemployment rate.

The BLS is incorruptible.

So there is only one explanation... unemployed Democrats lied to the BLS, claiming to have jobs in order to help Obama. (But why did they tell the truth last month? Hmmm....)

I don't think BLS cooked numbers. I think a bunch of Dems lied about getting jobs. That would have same effect.

months the BLS does a short survey and in September all the hard data is reviewed and a new report is issued. Been this way since 2000.
