Here's what you said about the quote (when you thought he was talking about the death penalty): "OK...let me get this straight: We have a president who (among other tricks) implies that farmers have special knowledge about death penalty issues." Now that you've been given the evidence that your source purposely distorted the quote, do you still feel that farmers don't have special knowledge about the "death tax" issue? Pandering means catering to the lowest tastes or desires of others in order to exploit their weaknesses. I doubt anybody who's a farmer considers the abolition of the "death tax" as their "lowest desire". Why don't you just dmit it. You bought into a lie posted on a liberal website, and got burned. The key word is "us", NOYB. He included himself in a group in which he is not a member. He implied that he "spent time in the heartland", sharing the experiences of his audience. It would not matter if it were farmers, automobile workers or commercial fishermen. He owns a ranch which is nothing but a suburban home with extra land. To suggest that he shares ANYTHING with an audience is pure hypocrisy. You don't see a relationship between a ranch, a farm, and death taxes? Like, large pieces of land, worth lots of money, for which a percent must be paid in taxes upon the owner's death. The taxes must be paid up front. For many folks the money isn't there, unless the property is sold. Of course there's a relationship. But, there is NO connection between GWB's life experiences, and those of a farmer. The "I know exactly how you feel" thing can only be taken so far before it becomes an obvious ploy. Well, would there be a connection between owning a 2000 acre cattle ranch and a 2000 acre wheat farm? Would there be a connection if both owners wanted someday to pass the acreage to the kids?
