I just love election time. It's when the lies and prevarificating flow like shit in a sewer. I previously mentioned an article about Nancy Pelosi, and her plan, among other things, to make small businesses take on more of the health care burden for their employees. Just a few minutes ago I read a column by AJC editorialist Cynthia Tucker, in which she says that health care costs are too big a burden on small businesses, and we should all vote Democrat so they will remove that burden. How does she reconcile that with Nancy Pelosi's statement that they will do the exact opposite if elected?

It doesn't matter what's true, all that matters is saying whatever it will take to get votes for Democrats. If one audience wants one thing, and another wants to hear something different, give them what they want to hear, whether or not it's a blatant lie.

EDIT: I made a boo-boo! Pelosi is calling for a 50% tax credit for companies involving health care. So that sort of takes away the point of this entry. On the other hand, she doesn't mention exactly what that means, or where the money would come from. Three guesses, and they all include the words increased taxes.
