It's Wilson's Fault
It's pointless pointing out the points that people like to make commenting on Web sites, but this one, from the CBS.com video of McCain's appearance on Letterman the other night, made me laugh:
Now we see that Democrats are responsible for the Income Tax, the Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae debaucle, and Woodrow Wilson was the Democratic president who OKd the Federal Reserve, which is much of the cause of our terrible debt.
Now, I could see making the case that Wilson's policies are the root cause of our presence in Iraq...
GOVERNING Politics is the place for news and analysis on campaigns and elections. If there's a ballot measure in California, a legislative election in Alabama, a mayoral election in Anchorage or a governor's race in Rhode Island, GOVERNING Politics probably is writing about it. We love everything about state and local politics, from polls and campaign ads to policy debates and demographic trends.
