Poll question: Who's Crazier -- Charlie Sheen or the Left Wing?
http://news.yahoo.com/s/uc/20110310/cm_uc_crlelx/op_2417244


A small sample of the crazy according to Larry Elders

Spending nearly a trillion dollars in "stimulus" money "created or saved" 3.5 million jobs? <cause spending money doesn't create jobs in his world>
A "tax cut" means giving checks to the nearly 40 percent of the workforce that pays no federal income taxes? <cause income tax is the only tax you pay>
If millions of illegal aliens would likely vote Republican, liberals would still support putting them on a pathway to citizenship? <case you selectively want freedom and rights?>
Bush "admitted committing torture" by approving waterboarding and is, therefore, a confessed "war criminal"? <because "I was only giving orders" is a good defense for criminals?>
The Bush tax cuts for the rich "caused the deficit" — even though Obama says maintaining the current rates for the top 2 percent of income-earners "costs" $700 billion over 10 years, or for each year, less than 5 percent of the current annual deficit? <because decreasing revenue doesn't cause debt?>
The war in Iraq caused the deficit — even though the combined annual costs of the Afghanistan and Iraq wars represent about 10 percent of the current annual deficit? <because increasing spending doesn't cause debt>


The whole "op ed" is a list of things that are basically true, yet according to him you are crazy if you believe them. Given that I'll let DU make the call who is crazier
