<p>Post 20…</p>
<p>Facts have no place in a political discussion and you should stop posting them. </p>
<p>Any fact that disputes the Republican big lie on taxes and spending is most unwelcome and you should be ashamed of yourself for posting it. While I disapprove of your telling the truth about the Republicans, I still want to wish you and yours a very happy holiday season.</p>
<p>I was going to say…</p>
<p>kluge is very partisan yes, but in this case he’s actually right, browninfall. The fact that you seize upon this particular (factual) assertion of kluge’s actually makes you seem the more partisan one.</p>

<p>Republicans did not do a good job of controlling spending, but the Democrats are spendaholics. They have never seen a problem that could not be cured by excessive spending. </p>

<p>Razorsharp - earmarks this year are down significantly from 2005 - the last year the Republicans controlled Congress. </p>
<p>Yeah, facts are a *****, aren’t they?</p>
<p>razorsharp: Is it just me, or were the representatives whose earmarks were talked about inclusive of both Republicans and Democrats?</p>
<p>Or did you just ignore that fact?</p>

<p>facts…facts…facts…won’t you please stop it…</p>
<p>Anything that shows Republican rule in anything other than a gloried light needs to be stopped immediately. </p>
<p>If the American people have the facts, and start to make decisions base on them and not the Republican party’s propaganda tax policy could change. Tax policy could begin to benefit the vast majority of Americans and not a small group of the very powerful and I don’t need to tell you what a disaster that would be.</p>
<p>Stop the facts.</p>
<p>To paraphrase a somewhat silly saying:</p>
<p>Clinton lied, no one died.</p>
<p>I am perpetually stunned by those who compare lying about sex, a personal matter, with lying about who was in an energy policy meeting, and if there were WMDs in Iraq. How can anyone compare the two?? Just stunning.</p>
<p>how about lieing about the number of stem cell lines…we could go on and on…when did the president learn that Iran had stoped it atomic bomb program… we colud go on and on…</p>
<p>Adigal, keep in mind that the WMD data came from the Clinton administration. Just because it was incorrect does not mean that someone lied.</p>
<p>I would prefer Bill Clinton over George W Bush even if Bill had engaged in public sex with three different interns every day on the White House balcony.</p>
<p>From Post 29…“Adigal, keep in mind that the WMD data came from the Clinton administration.”</p>
<p>The above statement is misleading ….it would be accurate to say that WMD data came from both Clinton and Bush administration……</p>
<p>“Just because it was incorrect does not mean that someone lied.”</p>
<p>The cherry picking of data, and using only data that supports a preconceive policy position come very very close to lying. It was done by the Bush administration and is at least misleading if not liying.</p>
