...and the answer is...

In the spirit of Carnac the Magnificent, the answer to Thomas Sowell's excellent column Do Facts Matter? is a resounding NO.

I believe that even if you had indisputable video of the shooting, the murder weapon, and gun shot residue on his hands, the chosen one would get a free pass by his supporters. (was going to say AND the media but that would be redundant). It would of course be George Bush's fault because he didn't ban hand guns. That is one thing we have all learned from the Democrats - you are not responsible for your actions.

Just as they are now avoiding any responsibility for the current financial mess they got us into. I did not watch the entire debate last night because it just didn't make any difference to me. It was not going to change the way I vote and would only serve to further aggravate as the few minutes I did watch. The piece I saw showed the Democrat messiah actually blaming George Bush for the lack of regulation that led to the Wall Street meltdown.

Perhaps the chosen one was too busy getting the community organized to listen to the leaders of his own party tell us that Fanny Mae and Freddie Mac were just fine and did not need any oversight. After all, those poor people without jobs or any other means of support should be approved for loans because the need a place to live.

They are so far out of touch with reality that they think taxing the "rich" guy will have no effect on the average worker. Who in the hell do they think employs the average worker? Certainly not their faithful band of morons standing in line for handouts! The majority of small businesses that employ anyone makes over his magic $250,000 a year rich guy classification. After they pay 100% of their own social security and 50% of their employees plus any insurance or other benefits, he wants them to pay additional tax on top of the state and federal income and other taxes they already pay.

The REALLY troubling part of all this is the next election will determine the president for the next eight years barring some catastrophic event. The economy will be getting back on track in four years and you know how they're going to spin it! But you know the Republicans don't have anyone to blame but themselves. They fell into the same tax and spend, let us get our pork politics of the Democrats.

As for McCain
I'm Just Saying - stick a fork in him!
