Aren't think tanks supposed to rely on facts for their research? The libs wouldn't know a "fact" if it came up at bit them on the ass.
And that, my FRiend, is exactly why this is such a good thing. The Dems need to start THINKING about their positions instead of feeling them. They've lost in the arena of ideas for the last ten years because they've not been thinking critically about their policies. This will be good for the Dems, and in the long run, good for the country.
