I'm sure you know, when you make a charge such as "the data has been manipulated", you're employing an age-old leftist tactic: question the source and force the messenger to disprove a baseless charge. Any piece of information can be dismissed this way. The least you can do is provide one example of opensecrets.org or the F.E.C. intentionally manipulating data.
It's time for you to grow up, cgk.
There's all sorts of disinformation out there. E.g. There were all sorts of wild things repeated about Vince Foster, that he was a Mosaad agent, that he was involved in some sort of intrigue with nefarious companies. The people who repeated this nonsense also said some things that were true but it all got discredited along with the nonsense. (Find out sometime why Rush mostly stopped talking about Foster. It isn't because he doesn't suspect foul play.) And if you believe Vince Foster committed suicide, I have a bridge you might be interested in buying.
You may call my charges, if that's what they are, "baseless." I think I have provided some basis for them. And I also provided a point-by-point answer to your previous criticism of what I wrote.Why don't we let the Peanut Gallery decide?
BTW, my degrees are in Math, and I scored really high on my Math SAT, before they dumbed down the scores for you younger folk. Do you have credentials and experience, or just feelings?
I never claimed that the FEC was "intentionally manipulating data." They report what is given to them, and then are subject like anyone else to neerdowells who might alter the data once they are in place.
