Sen. Bond continues to debate with his own set of facts

There's no reason  to think that Sen. Bond is going to vote for the stimulus bill at this point, but is it too much to ask that he be challenged on his bogus statements?

Bond has said again and again that the stimulus bill "won't create jobs." We've said it before, but this is demonstrably false (the plan is expected to create or save about 73k in Missouri alone).

Today, Bond claimed that the public overwhelming opposes the bill. Again, demonstrably false.  In fact, a Gallup survey released today shows that 58% of the public disapproves of the GOP opposition to the stimulus package, and 67% of the public supports the President's efforts:

Today's survey is consistent with previous polling demonstrating that a majority of the public supports the stimulus package.

It's one thing to disagree on the merits of the President's proposal.  But it's hard to have a reasoned debate when Sen. Bond and his GOP colleagues are just making stuff up.
