I couldn't tell, which is why I worded it that way.
And there may be quite a few data sets out there, but I have linked to some of them, and you continue to give no indication of having considered them.

You have arrived at a damning and condemning conclusion far too soon, and you do this too often in ways that match your underlying philosophies to make me think that it matters much to you.

Please recall that the question we were debating a few days ago was whether the Spanish people believed that PP was snowing them, and for that reason voted them out of office. The stuff I have linked goes to that question. I really don't know enough about the question to opine on it.

You cry "liar" far too often, and far too quickly, to allow me to believe that you have adequately considered why, or that the label has meaning to you.

Pot calls kettle black. A few posts ago, I quoted an article from the Financial Times, and because you thought it came from Kevin Drum, you essentially accused him of lying -- of arranging facts in order to give an impression not supported by them. You apparently did this without even clicking on my link to his post, or else you would have seen that he was quoting a newspaper article.
You are the champion here of the principle that there is no truth in politics, just spin. You routinely presume that journalists and bloggers of a different political stripe are lying. E.g., you
accused Brad DeLong of twisting the differences between unemployment figures.

Possibly its a matter of age, and personal experience, but, to me, it's one of the worst things you can say about anyone, but I sense that, to you, it's just another day of campaigning.

I think it's a terrible thing to say about someone, and I don't say it lightly.
