October Unemployment Rate at 4.4%, Lowest in 5 1/2 Years … All part of that Bad Economy We hear About

More economic reporting from Hooverville. The October unemployment rate is at a 5 1/2 year low at 4.4%. Interesting we do not hear more about the economy in the news during this midterm election. Could it be because its a beneficial topic to incumbent Republicans?

The unemployment rate fell in October to 4.4 percent from 4.6 percent in September. It was the lowest unemployment rate since 4.3 percent in May 2001 and was likely to fan concerns that labor markets are growing tight and could contribute to inflation pressures. (Reuters)

  • Unemployment rate drops to 4.4% from 4.6% in September
  • 139,000 more jobs were created in August and September than it had previously thought.
  • 230,000 new jobs in August instead of 188,000 as originally reported
  • Average hourly earnings rose 0.4 percent to $16.91 – higher than the 0.3 percent that analysts had anticipated
  • Over the year, average hourly earnings have risen by 3.9 percent

John Kerry so-called “botched joke” Could Spell a Botched 2006 Midterm Election for Democrats

As the Republican Party sends John Kerry flowers for his November gift, Democrats are beside themselves, especially those in tight races in predominately Republican areas. Ask Democrat Harold Ford Jr in TN if he is happy about the latest turn of events.

The Democratic leadership has whisked Kerry away into the “Democratic Witness Protection Program”. Why? So that John Kerry would not let the American public know any more of their secrets or actually have the electorate wake up and realize what a Democratic Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reed run House and Senate would be like 24/7/365.

Kerry did not say anything any different or worse than other Democrats or supporters have said in the past against our toops. The problem was that it was one week before an election. The battle for control of both the House & Senate was going to be close, did Kerry just swing the vote in the other direction? If Democrats lose in the midterms, they will never forgive him.

Johk Kerry Gag

(Hat tip Frijole: Richmond Times Dispatch: Brookins)

This story is much bigger than the Democrats or MSM wants to admit. Instead we have the MSM like Chris Matthews of MSNBC trying to make excuses for Kerry. This isn’t going away and it has mobilized the Republican base. A base that many Democratic strategists hoped stay home.

Now that Kerry has apologized, I guess Kerry was against apologizing before he was for it.

Thankfully he never found the grave. With all the talk about education in the news lately, this sick individual was actually a former High School National Merit Scholar.
