Obamas war on Romneys taxes is a joke, you ‘Taxers’ are hilarious. Taxers have got to really to be scraping the bottom of the barrel, no evidence, no nothing. Man Im glad im not a Taxer!
Lies can stick and stick well. I just finished _Blacklisted_ by_History_ about Sen. Joseph McCarthy. Nearly everything he said and did has now been wholly and absolutely vindicated by the evidence from defections, Venona, FOIA requests to the FBI and the releasing of the Senate records. The Senate records document how absolutely, unbelievably craven the Dems were.
Anyway, I think it may be the most depressing book I’ve ever read, with the exception of _Johnny_Got_His_Gun_. It was massively depressing to watch how the Democrats built up and tenaciously maintained the big lie. Their universal callowness and dirtiness surprised even me. They were stolidly unified as a group, right up to Truman, who played a much greater role than I would have imagined.
McCarthy was right. He was a brave and great American who was also an outstanding investigator. However, thanks to liberals, his name is now widely used as an epithet. Liberals have even convinced most conservatives that McCarthy was evil. That’s the power of the big lie.
Romney can defeat lies by maintaining a hard attack along multiple fronts and by engaging in ideas. That’s what Reagan did. He did not allow the air in the room to be sucked up.
By the way, the book is super superb.
Mmmm, moderated.
Was it my mention of Sen. Joe Mc*rthy? Perhaps my mention of a book about bl*ckl*st*ng? Mebbe it could be my multiple use of the word d*pr*ss. It’s a mystery.
