U.S. Jobless Rate Unexpectedly Declines to 8.6%

Do you really think religion will ultimately play that big a role? It certainly might be for many but I doubt that it would be significant enough for people to vote for any of the others., not when the economy of the country is at stake. They might hold their noses in the voting booth but will still do what's best for their future and go with the candidate who will most likely win. They won't want another John McCain experience.

The last time around, it became a big issue among the religious fringe of the Republican Party. I can't say for sure that's why he didn't get the nomination, but it looked to me like he was much better qualified than McCain, and would have had a much better chance of having won the general election, but that's just my perspective.

I can't remember ever hearing as much nonsense about Mormon theology as was spewed over the airwaves during the last primary. Maybe this time, it will be different. Maybe not. There already has been a discussion of whether Mormonism is a "cult."

That's a good take on it. It's not clear how McCain would have secured the nomination otherwise.

Not among serious people I hope. Though even if it were a "cult" it's not clear what Romney might do to change the United States to reflect his own beliefs.

It's time to elect some capable people and these side issues only serve, deliberately in many cases, to divert attention from the real problems facing the country.

You always mention things I never read. But I guess that is easier than you actually hearing and addressing what is said. :coffeepap

Uncertianty? Code for everything must be the fault of democrats. Fact is, business doesn't spend until people buy. It's as simple as that.

Start with this j. You overstate the government control of the economy, and oddly only do so when a democrat is in office.
 
I'm getting to this thread quite late, so I will just give a quick opinion.

The unemployment rate dropping at this juncture is not a good thing. It means way too many have just given up trying to find work.

I will be happy when the country is producing 400,000+ jobs per month and the unemployment rate goes back above 9% for a couple of months before it starts a downward trend.

If I have to explain that for you, you ought not be discussing this topic.

Since Obama has taken office he has overseen the government take over of;

Health Insurance
Auto
Financial
"green"Energy
Education
etc...

How many more industries do you need government run before you see the truth?

None of that is true. That's just the koolaid you're drinking.

I'm not sure how to address such misinformation.

No, it isn't. But present something factual and not just from the koolaid drinkers. I'll look it over.

I did present facts. I said until and unless this nation can produce at least 400,000 jobs per month and the unemployment rate increases back over 9% for a few months till it then starts a downward trend we are in deep do-do.

If you don't understand that. you ought not be debating this topic.

Here ya go...

Almost 90% of the laws passed by the federal government in past two centuries of our existence are unconstitutional. However, these past ten months of the new Congress and the Obama administration have seen an accelerated activity of seizing of power on epic scale. In the process, the government has taken over the Automobile industry, neutered the finance industry, decapitated the banking industry, has almost finished destroying the Energy industry along with everything that follows from it, i.e., the whole economy. Not the least of those attempts to destroy as much of American economy as possible was the so-called Stimulus Bill, and the TARP2 bill. Now they are in the process of taking over the Health Care industry, which is roughly one-sixth of the total economy.

.

However the story does not stop there. The so-called public option is designed to destroy the entire Insurance Industry as a side-effect.

.

In the field of media and information, they are in the process of taking over the Internet control under the deceptive name of Net-neutrality Rules. Furthermore, the FCC is actively pursuing direct government control of radio stations under the name of diversity ownership rules of radio-stations.

.

Add to all this the fact that Obama has declared a state of National Emergency over a non-problem conveniently dubbed, The Swine Flu Epidemic, which has

.

This is just the tip of the iceberg. The following links systematically enlists all the ills perpetrated by Leftist legislations and Leftist administrative policies of Leftist presidents, and Leftist judges over the entire history of our country. After studying all this, it can be easily seen that almost all the problems that America has faced in the past, and is facing today, are created by this Leftist meddling of something that ‘ain‘t broken‘. Get rid of the Left, and get rid of almost all of our problems.

.

Here is a more complete list of the crimes committed by the enemy against America. We start with the crimes of the current Government, i.e., the Obama Administration, the leftist

Now I know you'll just dismiss this site as partisan, and I admit that it is no DailyKOS which I know would be preferable to you but here are some others....

Just before the holidays, the fact-checking journalists at PolitiFact.com gave their Lie of the Year award to the claim that ObamaCare is a "government takeover of health care." Backed up by the unanimous judgments of five ObamaCare supporters, PolitiFact declared that notion "simply not true," "inaccurate," and "ridiculously false."

Egad, I thought. I have written entire reports calling ObamaCare a government takeover. I've said it on television, in op-eds, interviews and online. I was spreading the Lie of the Year!

ObamaCare is not a government takeover, I learned from PolitiFact, because it "uses the private health insurance system to expand health care coverage."

But wait. In my research, I found that distinction between public and private to be illusory: what difference is there between a public system where the government taxes and spends your money, and a "private" system where the government forces you to spend your money in the same way?

"It is irrelevant," I wrote, "whether we describe medical resources (e.g., hospitals, employees) as 'public' or 'private.' What matters – what determines real as opposed to nominal ownership – is who controls the resources." I detailed how making private health insurance compulsory – as ObamaCare does – "would give government as much control over the nation's health care sector as a compulsory government program."
