In light of the good news in today’s jobs report, here’s something that the Republican loons who call President Obama a socialist thug should wrap their minds around: since 1959, the average private sector job growth under four-year Democratic administrations is 11.7%. Under Republican administrations, it’s 5.4%. In other words, during the four years of a Democratic administration, private sector job creation has, on average, grown more than twice as quickly as it has under Republican administrations. Take a look at the numbers:

That’s right: the communist-fascist-socialist thugs trying to destroy America are actually better for its private sector economy than the freedom-loving teabaggers who claim to be trying to save the nation from tyranny. Keep in mind this are just private sector jobs, so even if you believe Michael Steele’s nonsensical declaration that government jobs aren’t real jobs, you have to admit, Democrats do it better when it comes to creating jobs. If you’re still skeptical, the raw numbers are here. Check ’em out. Meanwhile, I’m just looking forward to hearing Glenn Beck’s conspiracy theory on why these numbers are false.
How about them Bushes? Actually, I posted this because of the very last line. Jed is right to ask the question. If you look at data of this kind, you would never vote for a Republican again unless you were very rich. The Right Wing line is only hypothetical. Real world numbers almost never confirm their rhetoric. And they’ve almost never seen them before [because they haven’t looked]…
