Waukegan Talk

I thought this was very interesting. I will let the graph speak for itself. I have to say, it feels good to be on the right side for a change. The Dumocrats can be so depressing. They are such liars. That's about it for my cogent commentary.

"Republicans need to emphasize how well things ran when Republicans had Congress: 1995-2000 and 2003-2006. When Democrats bring their Blame-Bush knives, bring your Blame-the-Democrat-Congress guns." Randall Hoven, April 2010.

First problem this graph its 65% prediction. Second it only has 3 years of a republican congress. Third very limited data set to conclude democrats or republicans cause deficit. Fourth the great recession may skew the data a little. Lastly a minor flaw Republicans should be RED and Dems Blue bars. Its funny a graph like this validates your partisanship, yet you may critize the climate gate graphs that did the exact opposite added more data to visually minimize a recent cooling trend.

Here are some other partisan graphs to mull over.
