You're right- there's no point.

Oh please. The numbers can be "massaged" to suit anyone's purposes. I have seen ACTUAL numbers showing his assertions to be true, and depending upon which factors one uses, you come out with different results.
I'll give you an example: Bush says Kerry voted to raise taxes 600 times (or some big number, I confess I don't remember, but I may even look it up for you), which, if you count all the procedural votes, is "true". However, if you're only counting "enacting" votes, the number goes down precipitously (like, by 75%).
This is only one in a long, long, long list of possible manipulations of "facts".
Please don't try to tell me this is news to you.
