Liars

Those evil liberals at the Annenberg Public Policy Center's FactCheck.org criticize Kerry's talking down the economy using dubious statistics.
When he formally announced his candidacy in September 2003 he claimed the nation was suffering the "greatest job loss since the Great Depression," which we pointed out was not true. Now he's saying that the jobs the economy is adding are paying $9,000 less than the jobs they replace. That's not a fact, either.
and when Kerry blames the corporate tax code for shipping jobs overseas, they say
...economists say "outsourcing" jobs overseas is a minor problem that Kerry's plan wouldn't do much to fix.

...recent Labor Department data underscore what even Democratic economists have said for some time -- outsourcing jobs overseas, or "offshoring," accounts for just a small fraction of the many millions of jobs that are lost each year even in a good economy.
Whose side are they on, anyway? Of course, as Spinsanity has pointed out, both Kerry and Bush are liars.
