Its not a really fair representation (but campaign slogans, signs and stickers often aren't), but its at least as fair as the one in the post I replied to. The reality is that while party politics in congress, and administration policy, certainly influence the economy, the effect is not as total, direct, or immediate as the chart in my post and the one in Ted's seem to indicate. But if the other side is going to make such presentations, and you just try to make such points, your endlessly on the defensive, why the other side claims your ignoring the facts (as if the facts without context or argument where definitive), so its often much more effective to throw up a similar collection of "facts". Then if their reasonably people they probably realize context and rational argument are important, that a very simple presentation of cherry picked facts don't tell the whole story. If on the other hand they are unreasonable, they will probably show themselves to be so in response.
