MJD: Brannon Made Up 16.8% Figure

MamaJD: In one day there's a column, two letters to the editor and a flyer. If I may channel Mary Souza for a minute: Kathy Sims and Sharon Culbreth each have letters to the editors today urging to look at the tax implications of LCDC and imploring us to vote the incumbents out. Brannon supporters start floating a document that appears to be a campaign flyer with language about LCDC and allowing us the taxpayers to keep our money in our pockets. Souza, even with the advantage of 20/20 hindsight still comes out railing against things like the Kroc Center today in the Press. Culbreth, Souza and Sims make up half of the donors list in Brannon's campaign disclosure. They are all connected and heavily orchestrating a campaign of deceit. These people throw out a number but not a one of them can cite where they got the number. Brannon might as well have pulled 16.8% out of thin air. Remainder of comment below

Question: How do you sort things out when a candidate makes a claim about a situation that's hard to understand and others vehemently challenge that claim?

These people throw out a number but not a one of them can cite where they got the number. Brannon might as well have pulled 16.8% out of thin air. This group is just an echo chamber repeating each other's merda as fact. When will one person (besides the screaming liberals here on HBO because you are all in the massive Democratic conspiracy) ask Brannon, Sims, Souza or Culbreth to cite the source for their numbers? If you ask, they'll point to each other. They won't have a legitimate source for their numbers. Because, IMHO, they make it up.
