Quote of the Day

"In a courtroom, justice requires that both sides be equally well represented. If one doesn’t do its job properly, the jury cannot be blamed for a wrong result. If Democrats are going to accept Republican premises, they shouldn’t be surprised if a majority of people eventually conclude that Republicans ought to be in charge of government policy." -- former St. Ronnie of Hollywood advisor, economist Bruce Bartlett writing in the New York Times. There been far too much conceding the Rethug's flawed economic theories in the past 30 years by the Dems. It's so damaging that now, in a jobless recession, we're focused on spending reduction and deficits, the worst course of action.
