    voting 3rd party which is what I will do, is a good thing to do in a state that is clearly red or clearly blue. But in a swing state, I think people need to pick the lesser of 2 evils.

    Also, everyone knows I can't stand Romney, but doesn't it seem a little strange that these unemployment numbers are going down, and reports of housing construction up 15 percent, are coming in now? Maybe I am just a huge skeptic, I don't know.

    come on, LaSalle. The unemployment numbers, the housing construction numbers, consumer confidence numbers and every other metric are measured the same way they have been measured since their inception. I find it particularly interesting that the Republicans are willing to use any one of these metrics when they favor their positions but the first time the numbers point to an improving economy it has to be because the books are cooked.

    the economy is improving. this is inconvenient news for the Republicans but it is the truth regardless of how many old, white men say otherwise or who cast doubt on numbers that they have, themselves, relied upon for decades.

    Well according to this article the sharp drop in unemployment is now a sharp rise. So yeah, Republicans use the metrics as much as Democrats. Your Dems will lie and let you down just like the other guys. LaSalle is right. 3rd party all the way.

    Quote me a republican that says the economy isn’t improving.

    The argument is that the recovery is pathetic.

    On the flip side, quote me a Democrat saying this recovery is phucking awesome.

    your link is about the weekly jobless clams which fluctuate from week to week. last week they were much lower, the week before that they were somewhere in the middle. if this number were consistently higher it would indeed lead to a higher unemployment rate but we see fluctuations on this number consistently.

    i never said the dems wouldn't lie. my point was very clear: the republican accusation that the administration is cooking the numbers to bolster Obama's candidacy is ludicrous.

    Looks like the second debate was a win for Romney.
