Which is worse: a Democratic presidential candidate's son driving the getaway car in a failed country club alcohol heist, or a Republican president's twin daughters getting caught drinking underage and smoking pot with a young movie heartthrob?
Given the choice, which matters more to Republicans: spending $1 billion to improve military family housing or reducing a tax cut for "200,000 Americans who make over $1 million a year?" What if it meant that "these taxpayers would receive a cut of $83,546 this year instead of the $88,326 they are currently scheduled to receive?"
Which is better: an EPA report on global warming that aspires to scientific validity or policy consistency? What if it had included a reference to a study on the effects of global warming which was partly financed by the American Petroleum Institute?
