People are beginning to tune Kerry out when he talks about the horrendous
unemployment rate. They don't believe him any more.

It's easy to cite facts but not the truth. Yes, the UER just dropped
0.1%. However, it was completely due to people dropping off the
employment rolls not due to job growth. 144K people found jobs. But
the economy needs about 150-200K to break even on job loss/job
creation.

Gotta agree with Jon on that one. Several friends, union electricians, have
been jobless for over two years! They don't show up in the figures because,
like 1000s of others, their unemployment benefits have ran out.
