If I were a Republican, I'd say what I wanted people to believe - even if
it were wrong. Then I'd have my radio hate mongers talk up the information that I wanted everybody to believe. Next I'd admit the information was incorrect. The hate mongers would never mention that little fact, and the false information would then become fact to the vast majority of people.

I might have a few Democratic nuts saying I am a lier, but nobody will pay attention to that, and it is more important that I have succeeded in getting my message out. I can live with being called a lier by a few people - as long as my message gets to the people and they believe it. Actually, I would find this method is so very successful - beyond what I thought would happen - I would do this on employment figures, torture statistics, war statistics, anything that needs to be gotten to the American people so they will know "what is really going on".

WAIT, WAIT, WAIT!!!!!! That IS what's going on. Whew - there I fell for it for a minute. The Republicans almost pulled the wool over my Democratic eyes - I almost fell for Republican tricks - as usual.

MY SARCASM IN ON FULL THROTTLE IN CASE YOU DIDN'T GUESS THIS.

1. The economy's doing great. How do I know? Because it is.
The Iraqis want us there. How do I know? Because they do.

There were links between Saddam and Al-Qaeda. How do I know? Because they were.

And that's all the proof I need.
