Sean Bielat Discusses His Debate with Barney Fwank

I watched a video of the whole debate. It was especially inspiring to a conservative because Frank looked nervous, frightened and desperate.

What Homeless? What Unemployed?

If we presently had a Republican president the networks would have wall to wall video coverage of endless armies of homeless and unemployed. Instead we see an army of talking heads explaining how evil and crazy Republicans are and how unappreciated our heroic president is. This song, James McMurtry doing "We can't make it here" that I discovered on my brother's FB page, begins to give some idea of the ugly pictures that would be found on the news if we had a Republican president.

Advocate for the Unemployed Is Refusing to Vote Saying Problems with Unemployment Compensation “Is the Democrat’s Fault”

Ed Schultz looks defeated. He wants to defend the Dems but they are indefensible and slandering Republicans seems to have lost much of its thrill for him.

Mark Shields Claims Obama Has Created More Jobs than Bush

.

h/t: NewsBusters

Only a Democrat would believe this bilge. The problem with Obama created jobs is that the unemployment rate keeps going up regardless and somehow, in spite of the Shields/Obama economic miracle, fewer Americans have jobs. The party line just doesn't square with the facts.

Greg Gutfeld and Laura Ingraham on NBC Nostalgia for a Sadam Who Was Growing More Moderate

h/t: NewsBusted

As the election approaches insanity in the media multiplies. Our economic problems were caused by the Iraq war. The more unemployment the better. Sadam was becoming more moderate. Obama and the MSM have amnesia about Obama's opposition to the surge in Iraq. A long time serving member of Congress cannot figure out for herself that it is unethical for her to give tens of thousands of taxpayer dollars to her grandkids: unless we tell her as each dollar is handed over it is unfair for us to expect basic decency from her.

Employment Picture Not Due to Improve for a While

Managers, having gotten so much more productivity out of their employees of late, want to squeeze yet more out of their present employees before they even contemplate permanent new hires. That along with the uncertainty as to how much each employee will cost under ObamaCare makes for a bleak outlook. Hot Air linked an article from the Harvard Business Review titled The Strategic Imperative Not to Hire Anybody
that details the opinions of HR managers. Here are a couple of pertinent quotes.
"My lunch companion arrived fifteen minutes late. "My phone has begun to ring again," he explained, "which is a good sign for the economy." Once a big-league strategy consultant, he now has a firm that advises CEOs on how to increase the value of their companies. "They've decided that we've touched bottom, or they wouldn't be talking to me," he said. "They're starting to think about growing their businesses again." Welcome news, but not what followed.

""But boy, I don't see employment coming back, not for years. My clients were amazed by how much productivity they could squeeze out of their people in the downturn. They're not going to start hiring again — well, maybe temps or contract workers, but not regular, full-time employees." As if to punctuate the thought he added, chillingly, "In fact, the CEOs are mad at their middle managers for not having eliminated more jobs earlier.""

"For about five years now, particularly after dinners that featured wine, human-resources executives have been telling me, "We've come to realize we don't really want most employees for the whole of their careers. We want their particular set of skills when we need them — but then things change so fast, we don't need that particular skill set any more." And many of these are companies famous for being good at H.R."
