The headline of this story is not that liberals lied and you can prove it - a worthy thing to write about (although I dislike the lumping of liberals in, since this issue and most others involve some conservatives and some honest liberals as well). And your implicit conclusion that hiring out-of-state PR firms has anything to do with the policy question of whether stem cells create jobs or raise taxes is not true.  For example, if Right to Work hired out-of-state PR firms, but they claimed that Right to Work would increase Michigan jobs, I think we all would agree that Right to Work would still create Michigan jobs (of course, the left would argue an entirely different economic theory, but conservatives would agree) even though the ballot-drive hired outsiders (and I think most of us would cheer them on).  Indeed, just because the committee outsourced, it wouldn't even mean that Right to Work petitioners would have lied about it creating jobs if they represented that way - the ballot committee is quite separate from the issue.

I ask for tight logic because we need to be tight in our logic.
