When all else fails, lie through your teeth...(and hope someone believes you)

Isn't it pathetic when you set yourself up so that you can only win when America loses? When good news for America is bad news for democrats? When a near all-time low unemployment rate of 4.6 percent and wages at an all-time high means that you have to lie through your teeth to people, to make them disbelieve their own experiences, in a vain attempt to make your opposition look bad in an even more vain attempt to make you look good?

Look up the definition of pathetic in the dictionary, and you're more than likely to find a picture of "madame-speaker wannabee" Nancy Pelosi:

Positive Jobs Numbers Show Need for Change, Pelosi Says

(CNSNews.com) - House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Friday criticized Republicans for being optimistic about the Labor Department's September jobs report showing an increase in jobs, a jump in average hourly income and a decrease in unemployment.

"President Bush and Republicans continue to claim that the economy is on the right track," Pelosi said in a news release. "This once again demonstrates how out of touch Republicans are, because the U.S. economy is not delivering for middle-class families."

House Speaker Dennis Hastert on Friday praised the report's findings and the current state of the economy. "American jobs grow while gas prices drop and the stock market hits all-time highs," he said in a release.

"September's lower unemployment rate, steady job growth and increased hourly earnings comes on the heels of a record-setting week on Wall Street," Hastert added.

He said the numbers show that House Republicans' policies "continue to show strong results" and "fuel the economic fire."

But Pelosi said the economy is bad for most Americans, because "the cost of everything from housing, to health care, to energy is making it harder than ever to make ends meet, tightening the middle-class squeeze," Pelosi said. "The Dow is up, but people's retirements are less secure than ever."

Enter the "new direction" meme (btw--have you ever noticed that they never say which direction they want to go?)

She said the Democrats' "New Direction" campaign slogan and the plan behind it "rewards work, not just wealth and expands opportunity and economic security to all Americans."

Yep--leave it to Nancy Pelosi and the rest of the dhimmicrats to snatch despair from the jaws of prosperity every time.

They truly are pathetic.

Take your shukin' and jivin' somewhere else, Ms. Pelosi.
