KINGSTON: If the Democrat Party truly wanted to take on poverty, they would have to say what is the relationship between marriage and the poverty level and between hours worked and the poverty level, because the truth of the matter is, if people end poverty, many of them would marry and work 40 hours a week, they would be out of poverty. … It’s not something I have the knowledge of or the information of, but it’s an economic fact that I hope we could have committee hearings on and discuss this. If we want to attack poverty, that’s where we need to go. With that, I yield back the balance of my time.
He's absolutely right. It's something he does not have the knowledge of the information of, but I'm glad he's willing to stand up and let us know how freaking ignorant he is.

I love that. The ultimate in double-speak. The Truth of the matter is not something that he has any knowledge of, but it is economic FACT.

Orwell would be proud/horrified at the linguistic gamesmanship here.

After watching footage of returning Democrat legislators using up floor time to venerate their college football team, wear goofy-ass "Gator Glasses," and make painful puns about Elvis Presley, I'm convinced that the Republicans and Democrats are working together to insure that their insane, Mardi Gras style existence never goes away.

Hello, I'm a moron that has somehow convinced other morons to elect me to public office. Although I have no knowledge of the subject at hand nor do I possess any evidence to prove my point, I know for a fact that I am right.

By the way, the economic fact he's talking about, is it that if people had money they wouldn't be poor?
