Exhibit A of why I hate populist movements. The knowledge base behind them is about ankle deep.
So far, just today, that same lie has been repeated by: RNC Chair Steele, Republican Congressman John Mica, and one of the actual 6 guys who are the key negotiators for the Senate Finance committee: Senator Charles Grassley.
Seriously...they're going to keep doing this until someone in the media starts asking them "Sir, why do you insist on lying to your constituents and why should they ever believe you on this issue again?" Anything less than that and it doesn't hurt them.
