"Arithmetic" is the greatest challenge Republicans face

From the mouths of former Presidents come the greatest of truths. Arithmetic will be the ultimate downfall of the Republicans. They can only win on emotional appeal. The moment you open people's minds to the assessment of facts, review of presumptions, attention to the simplest of the sciences - every day arithmetic, their emotional arguments fail.

You can not have a successful country if it is run by people who do not recognize fact. God bless Bill Clinton for pointing that out with a single word.

And social studies is not much better for them. To begin with, it's "social"ist. They choose fairy tales over actual history. Amazingly, they have abandoned basic macroeconomics and threaten Ben Bernanke for taking positions consistent with those of Milton Friedman.

The only subject they are doing well in is P.E.

I heard Paul Ryan could run a sub-3:00 marathon.
