Reply #3: Shocking, really.

Maybe the slow ones in this country are really finally waking up when they keep hearing more bad news to counteract the propaganda machine running whenever a republican speaks.

Recently here in my state 4 major plants (athletic wear, catfish, etc.) have laid off close to 5000 people. Each and everytime the reason given by the company owner was "due to the poor economy." Well hell, I thought Bush and his touring economic team told us we were in a recovery. If that is true, how come the businessmen aren't holding onto folks hoping Christmas will get them through?

I don't watch Lou Dobbs much, but I have occasionally seen him cover job loss fairly. Too bad he probably blames the liberals and not Bush.
