Congress has lost its mind...

I really didnt expect you to acknowledge that the the analysis of legislation by WashingtonWatch.com is as partisan and biased as any you will find.

I listed the others for those who are more open-minded.

Thanks Redux. I like the CBO. They had the guts to tell GWB what tax cuts combined with war spending would do. I trust them to be equally annoying to Obama and I've already seen our loyal opposition here refer to their estimates.

I'd relegate washingtonwatch and the AARP both to the spin cycle. Both have an agenda, although at least the AARP has a defined constituency whose interests they do look out for, mostly, while trying to sell them insurance.

Absolutely...there are few political sites that are without some spin.

I think its fair to say that the AARP doesnt hide or misrepresent what they are and for whom they advocate....as opposed to most of Merc's op eds and sites.

You may not like the messenger but the message is quite accurate.

The message on WashingtonWatch.com is accurate. WTF?

When they say on their own site:

WashingtonWatch.com does not report the many benefits that may be provided by government regulation and spending, made possible by taxation. Proposals that “cost” the average American may benefit you, your community, your loved ones, or your employer.

WashingtonWatch.com does not report the budgetary consequences of legislation. A proposal that “saves” money may drive the national debt higher because it reduces taxes without reducing spending. One that “costs” may reduce the national debt because it includes more taxes than spending.

Hell....at least they acknowledge (if you know where to look for it) that their analysis is incomplete and biased...I will give them that.

Lets be honest here.

As much as you like to criticize me as an “agent” for the Democrats or just a typical partisan leftist, I am not the one who, day after day, floods the Cellar with biased partisan op eds and/or links, many (most) of which are misleading, incomplete (ignoring context) or completely dishonest....probably more than all other posters here combined.

Quite accurate? That would be when you acknowledge that many of your “snips” are as biased and partisan (and more often than not, less accurate) than anything I (or others) post.

Partisan opinion from a partisan poster, just doesn't carry much weight or credibility.

Lets be honest here, as I said, you may not like the messenger but the message is quite accurate in most cases.
