The problem is, this is a rather complex argument that can't be made in nifty sound bytes using focus group tested phrases. It's way over the head of most people who readily fall for the post hoc ergo propter hoc reasoning of demagogues.

Exactly right. I printed the article out to read it in depth later. The one thing that the Democrats do really well is frame the debate in sound bytes. They are lying sound bytes, but they do sound good.

True. However, I have to believe that most voters will not buy the idiotic Democratic argument that Bush caused the recession. Even allowing for the economic ignorance of far too many people, surely they can compare when the downturn started and when Bush's policies were passed and note which came first. Yet somehow I won't be that surprised if I'm proven wrong...
