CSPAN scrapping usual caller format this morning, for now
no pug/dem split

it's for WOT vs. economy

wonder what the split will be?

will freepers swamp, or will normal, coherent beings be able to get in?

1. first caller......jobs/economy
then asks if anyone searched into Mossad's knowledge of WMDs

they had vested interest, should know more than others.

2. next caller
says it's about terror

quoting Clarke as saying we need to act on threats more quickly, BEFORE they happen

this ahole is nuts, says we can do pre-emptive strikes, sleazily asks if 911 families were asked, they'd want pre-emptive strikes

dick

It'd be a tough call for me...Bunnypants has screwed up so bad on both.

29. FEAR
whether bush can rule country by scaring country to his side

gentleman from Kentucky (pug) is nuts, basically

Bush can do all he wants, but if there aren't any jobs, the economy will remain stagnant

this is about FEAR, if Bush gets "re elected" things are gonna get much worse

34. It was a slaughter........
I wonder if c-span will do this again. The freepers will say Bush defenders didn't call in because, "They were all at church". How much ya want to bet. The "faithful" were all worshiping "The Lord" HOW UNFAIR. We'll have to do it again then on a Monday. But but but the freepers will all be "at work" because they work so hard and dems are lazy. Unfair unfair. Okay let's do it on a Saturday then. Silence hahahahahahaha

37. That's the freepers routine alright
I like the little 85 year old women that calls in about once a week and complains how Brian Lamb always takes the dem calls and never the freepers.... and how she has to wait wait and never gets on....and how unfairly c-span operates.

43. My answer to that jerk who said the unemployment rate is
lower now then back when Clinton was president. Boy these pugs are so ez to shoot down, but they love to hear themselves spin..the unemployment rate is lower then the average in the 70's...on and on...etc, etc...umm, ok, take a look at this....http://moneycentral.msn.com/content/P73979.asp

44. thanks for that link
those Boooosh numbers are so bogus, anyway, always being adjusted down, NOT reflecting those who quit looking, those who are off compensation, and some other factors

there's some sort of scaling numbers that put actual unemployment at close to, or above, 9 percent

anybody know about that?

also, I get the Chi Trib, and almost EVERY day the business section announces plant closing

yesterday a big national company just announced a bakery closing that cuts 400 jobs

what a sick joke this booming econony is

AND, the jobs being created are paying like TWENTY PERCENT less than the ones lost

AND corporate profits were up TWENT NINE PERCENT last quarter, the BIGGEST increase since 1983. anybody hear about THAT?

at the same time, real wages are DOWN!
