Can Republicans Talk?

Sowell

Thomas Sowell   "I have not heard any Republican official or candidate even try to answer a standard claim of the Democrats, that "deregulation" is the reason the housing market went haywire and brought down the economy. Therefore, according to the Democrats, Republicans who want to restore a free market are just trying to "go back to the same policies that got us into this mess in the first place." 
"That sounds very persuasive, if you don't know the facts -- and it sounds like pure hogwash if you do.
"But facts don't speak for themselves. And if we wait for the Republicans to speak, the whole country can be in big trouble."
....
"But so long as Republicans don't seem to feel any urgency about refuting the Democrats' claim that they just want to help the rich at the expense of the poor, they are courting defeat on election day. Why lose to a lie because you didn't bother to explain the truth?"  (Emphasis added)
