"SNIP..............................................

Host Chris Wallace called some of the studies “questionable” adding later, that said sources are not nonpartisan.

Gillespie countered, “These are very credible sources.”

“One of these is from a guy — is a blog from a guy who was a top adviser to George W. Bush,” Wallace responded. “These are hardly non-partisan studies.”

Gillespie said that these are from Harvard and AEI and that said again that they are “very credible sources.”

he's reduced to credible right-wing bloggers, op-eds written by far-right-wingers who don't give a shit what the consequences are just so long as their taxes go down by $26 per year, and position papers written by members of his own staff to prove his plan will work.

I feel sorry for anyone who really believes this plan, which not even Saint Ronnie could get to work, will work just because. I dunno...maybe it's that guys with helmet hair are more credible.
