The Deathocrats highlighting positive aspects (statistics) of the economy will resonate with those buying into the Deathocrats part in the show and the Republikillers highlighting the negative aspects (statistics) of the economy will resonate with those buying into the Republikillers part in the show.

Meanwhile, your bullshit resonates with almost nobody.

But neither "sides" highlighting will resonate with those of us that know it is just a show.

Meanwhile, your monotonous shit remains a ginormous "no show." :)

Obviously, what they say doesn't even have to be true so long as it's always unified and consistent. If only the Dems could come up with their own, er, talking points and relentlessly VASH the GOP with them. *sigh* The one thing that you gotta give the Repugs credit for is that they've figured out that saying the same thing over and over again sinks in with the voters.

It seemed like we didn't know what we were doing, because the word from the government didn't seem to match the facts on the ground. Justly or unjustly, that's the perception here too. You're telling me the economy is great, but unless I was unemployed last year I'm probably not going to see that up close. Afghanistan shaped the domestic narrative more than we think.
