[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 4301349, member: 12508"] Republicans never do the research beyond the talking points. As you astutely pointed out, consider the source or the entity...always. I find they seldom look at "facts" that are clearly stilted toward one side and an outcome that favors your industry/special interest. Listen to the politicians and "experts" from coal states or oil interests. Interestingly, "data" supports continuing use of coal or oil. It's the same for any industry that has lobbyists and politicians in it's employment. Of course they're going to be puppets for that particular cause. That's the biggest thing I took away from college...always consider the source for your research paper or else it will be handed back to you with an "friend" for failure to consider facts vs. fallacy and the spin of whomever authored your research bibliography. The same applies to the real world and the special interests and "Merchants of Doubt" that are literally everywhere. [/QUOTE]
