Reply #5: This kind of spin only works if there's truth. [View All]

If most of the people where this ad is seen actually got decent paying jobs, the ad won't work. If most of those jobs were a much lower pay scale than the ones lost, the viewers will relate to that ad. The spin just doesn't matter. The real world does.

I think this is the real reason the Pubs and the media keep saying how strong the economy is and jobs are being created, but the polls still show the public doesn't agree. There really are 2 Americas (as John Edwards has said). Those who have nice stock portfolios and are making verygood wages who are enjoying their tax cut and watching their stock values rise, and then there are the others who are unemployed (or scared they might be), saw a very small tax cut, their property taxes doubled, grocery bill jumped, price of gas is killing them, and they don't see any truth to this "great new jobs/strong economy" BS.
