In a years worth of studying all this it would be nearly impossible to list links to where all this data has been derived wolfie. I'm involved with 3 different online citizen action groups, watch news clips from MSNBC, CBS, Fox, ABC,, have spent time studying many different legislators comments/quotes/voting records and have read just about everything else I can find on the subject constantly.

Watching the news and sifting through opinion based pundits comments along with the other research helps in filtering the BS from the genuine data to be gleaned from it all.

Although I consider myself a staunch conservative and devoted Constitutionalist I find errors and mistatements of fact in what other conservatives say just as I do with an overwhelming amount of the stuff the liberals trot out as truth. I use all the data I study to formulate my own ideas about what's really being said and done legislatively, which is what I feel everyone should do.

Unfortunately if one were to simply hit the high points the mainstream media throw out as "news" much of the subtle details that round out the bigger picture and give a more thorough understanding of what's really going on would be lost. Many people seem content to use this approach to feel as if they're informed while in truth, following this issue in this way won't begin to give one enough details to make a truly informed decision, much less formulate an unbiased opinion.

The real bottom line is this wolfie. Though much of what I write is filled with opinion and the reasoning I use to interpret the data streams from my research I NEVER try to mistate fact or pointedly bend the truth. It's too easy these days for people to fact check things and disprove simple mistatement of fact.

While I may post a slightly skewed figure from time to time it usually has to do with either the data I've read was slightly flawed or that I have made a slight error from memory but I would NEVER knowingly try to mislead anyone by stating untruths to attempt to make a point, it's just not my way of doing things

Beast on the other hand tends to get on here and fling out loads of BS she/he knows damned well is improvable and then when you try to pin down where the source of this illogical crap is coming from makes claims like "look it up, it's truth", just evades the issue altogether, or another common bit of BS, tries to simply engage in personal attacks or redirect the discussion away from what's been said
