Be careful what you wish for.

On the hiring line: All those temps signal good things to come | McClatchy

WASHINGTON — Last January, Rita Ruggles was on the verge of closing her temporary staffing agency in South Beloit, Ill.

Ruggles' good fortune is part of a national turnaround in the temporary-help service sector, which has added 117,000 jobs since July, including 52,400 in November, according to new government figures released Friday.

That's not exactly a hiring boom. After losing an average of 44,000 temporary help jobs each month from January 2008 through July 2009, however, the recent surge reflects an increased demand for labor, the kind that often precedes an expansion of the permanent work force.

"Employers will hire temporary help workers to sort of test the waters of a recovery before they make a commitment to full-time workers. And we are clearly starting to see that now," said Heidi Shierholz, an economist at the Economic Policy Institute, a liberal policy-research organization

At least they'll be campaigning against someone who is in the race...

You mean in 2012 you conservatives will stop bringing up Bill Clinton getting a blowjob in the 80's as a proof of how all democratic views and candidates are morally suspect? Now THAT'S change I can believe in!

I think there's a very real chance that the economy will improve significantly over the next 3 years in spite of him, given the fact that he doesn't have any money left to spend tinkering with it. If that happens, he's probably in for another 4, assuming neither of the wars takes a sharp turn to the south during that time.

Well you could talk about the democrats and all the wonderful things they are doing, but I haven't noticed that they have done anything but whine about the right and how they can't get anything done because of those rotten republicans. It's a shame that even with the majority, they still can't seem to get their act together and actually accomplish anything.

Wrong focus.

As a nation, we need to quit focusing on what the other guys did wrong and focus on what we're doing right.

For some reasons, conservatives (while they do their share of Obama-bashing) will trot Reagan out from time to time as a positive example, but liberals don't use Bill Clinton and his policies in a similar manner. And they should.

My disgust with the democratic party is another subject for another thread. At best, I keep flashing back to Will Rodgers, who once said "I don't belong to any organized political party. I'm a democrat."

I will say it saddens me that the republican/conservative party gives me very little choice in keeping my support with the democrats. The last republican I felt I could actually consider was McCain in 2004. What he had to become in 2008 in order to gain the nomination still saddens me.

Agreed. It is unfortunate that when one does bring Clinton up, it usually ends up in an argument over the infamous blowjob.

So this is why we don't like her? So this is why we don’t like her? Interesting. It’s not her folksy demeanor that bothers me. What really bothers me is if she gets elected the world will be a very dangerous place. I’m thinking, war, war, war.

And what’s really scary is I’m afraid she will justify it by some Bible prophecy about the second coming of Christ. Insanity, insanity, insanity. Did I say in insanity? And of course, who can question the word of God? Right?

Alana Marie Burke: Who's afraid of Sarah Palin?» Redding Record Searchlight

There are numerous reasons why so many liberal women hate and fear Sarah Palin. However, with the exception of her pro-life stance and perhaps her Christianity, it is not really her "principle-centered policies" that cause the foam-at-the-mouth hissyfits that afflict Palinophobes. They hate her on a much more personal level.

Palin's folksy demeanor, faulty diction and lack of elitist education, combined with pervasive appeal, are what drive her haters nuts. Ultra-liberal feminists detest that a moose-hunting everymom was able to rise to the top of the heap when so many elitist feminists rest on their lily-white laurels and pat themselves on the back for their "enlightened" political views while accomplishing very little.

I just wanted to add what an idiotic article! The only part that's true is that we should stop talking about her and shouting, because that only gets more republicans to support her.

The elitism argument again! Still, I suppose it'll sound a bit more convincing as a criticism of Obama if he's running against Palin than it did when he was running against McCain. I always loved that argument that a self made man from a single parent family is an elitist but somebody who got to wreck six jets in vietnam despite finishing bottom of his class at Anapolis because his dad and grandad were both Admirals isn't.

I love these kind of debates. For somebody sitting 5000 miles away it is like hovering over a football stadion and looking down. The match might be reasonable interesting, but hell, the goings on in the stands much more fun

Just send it guys, wonder who wins in the disciplines of mudslingin, misinformation and prejudgism

Sadly, however far away you live, whichever cretin the Americans elect next is going to have a fair crack at spoiling your day.
