Just received this in the mail from the D's.
I don't know maybe these numbers are bs. What do you think?
Anybody know for sure? These can't be for real, can they?

I believe all of those numbers are relatively accurate, but if you don't know the background or the context of them then you shouldn't bother drawing conclusions from them.

Btw, very clever use of sarcasm. I've never seen a post before that starts with "Bush is a great president," or "our economy is booming," or "the war is going great" and then have it end up saying the antithesis of the title.

I thanked you, so I guess it must be the second.

It seemed like you were being sarcastic. Especially if you recieved this email from the Ds, that means you must have subscribed to some sort of newsletter because you are most likely a Democrat. Maybe I'm wrong, I've just seen one to many sarcastic titles and it's gotten annoying.

I didn't subscribe to anything my friend. I receive a ton of
periodicals and other materials. Maybe they got my name
from a mailing list.

Concerning sarcasm, if used sparingly it can be a
very effective device.

Geez, just when I thought the under was strong.

Another feeble attempt to discredit by playing three card monte and blaming the messenger. The facts are the facts. There's nothing wrong with knowing the truth.

What are you talking about? You quoted a paragraph where I am not debating any of the statistics he posted. In that paragraph I talk about the WAY he posted the facts (Sarcasm-which is really annoying). But supposedly he wasn't being sarcastic.

Now that we got that out of the way, pick out any statistic you want and i'll tell you about it.
