Republican Fantasy World Math

It's so easy being a Republican. All you have to do is deny the last 8 years, pretend your Party is the only patriotic organization in America and never do any math as evidenced by their numberless budget. Further evidence of their math skills is their made up numbers of their Tea Bagger protests.

According to Kent, via Great Patriot and internment camp champion Michelle Malkin, Republican Fantasy World inhabitants are labeling the Tea Bag event the "Million Tax Payer March." Though both Kent and Malkin admit that there were much, much fewer than a million people, they say they are rounding up. Yes, they are rounding up 750,000 to get to a million. Facts are something they are not to be bothered with. If they say there were a million then that means there were a million. Question them or their illogical math skills and you are questioning the greatest form of American patriotism to ever live and breath.

In their World, 51% is a mandate, 22% approval means you are popular and mainstream America; a 43% loss in the Dow means you created the strongest economy ever; a numberless budget is the best plan ever laid out to guide America; an economic growth average of 0.8% equals the fundamentals of our economy are strong; a 200% increase in the national debt equals fiscal conservatism; and rounding up 750,000 equals a million. Simple.

Let's do some other reality-based community math, however.

Fox News ran 107 ads promoting the Tea Baggers. That's not counting their full-time coverage and their hosts actually emmceeing the events. Like I said, it's so easy being a Republican. Your whole world is like one big sunny day.
