>>I did see the bit about taxes. It was the weakest part I saw because it was obviously wrong. Anyone following the election will know it's wrong.

These are people who at this point know nothing about Obama's real tax policies, or the fact that independent analysis reveals his proposals, if enacted, would actually contribute much less to our national debt.
