But Cigar always does. Anyone who has lived through those years know the cute politico graphic is bullshit. But, get your t-shirt that says, "Support the IRS--Vote Democrat" or "Support NSA Eavesdropping--Vote Democrat" or "More Fast and Furious--Vote Democrat" or "Remember Waco--Vote Democrat" or "Remember Benghazi--Vote Democrat".

Figures often beguile me, particularly when I have the arranging of them myself; in which case the remark attributed to Disraeli would often apply with justice and force: "There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies and statistics."

"Lies, damned lies, and statistics" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lies,_damned_lies,_and_statistics) is a phrase describing the persuasive power of numbers, particularly the use of statistics (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statistics) to bolster weak arguments (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument). It is also sometimes colloquially used to doubt statistics used to prove an opponent's point."
