Occasionally I make minor mistakes and acknowledge them. But I don't lie. And you are being a fool to suggest so. WHy waste one's time by lying? Life is way too short. I don't deal with liars and I don't wste other peoples time with disinformation. Just the facts is right. My motto.
I am willing to let the posts and the sources cited in the posts stand for themselves. Are you? Oh wait, you hardly ever cite any sources for your statements, so I guess that system won't work for you.
By the way, if "just the facts" is your motto, are you going to retract your statement that tax cuts never lead to revenue increases; Gray Davis exhibited more fiscal responsibility that GW Bush; Arnold S. can't cut spending to balance California's budget; and all the other things you haven't responded to over the past few weeks? I think Laz has a collection of the posts with specifically cited facts that you haven't responded to if that would help (Laz, if you're around why don't you post the list to AS again).
I'd hate to see you miss an opportunity to live by your "just the facts" motto.
By the way, did they teach you in the Ivy League the subtle difference between a lie and a fabrication? I'd say most of what you are doing is fabricating, not lying.
