Lies are really all that the Repub. Party has left. They make up these lies & tell them to people who want to believe them. In the process they may even pull in a few more, who just don't know any better? It's all in hopes of getting enough votes. Some states have had Re-Call elections after the people realized how badly they were lied to. But the person, who wants to believe even outrageous lies, will still vote for the Liar. Guys like "Mitt' are calling Pres. Obama a ''one-termer" when in reality "Met' was a ''One termer" and left with terrible ratings. If his one state of Mass, didn't want him---"What would make him think the Whole USA would.
This is scary because even though they make things up, many people buy into it. The Swift Boat campaign against John Kerry is an example. The story was preposterous but they kept repeating it and the MSM covered it like it was a real issue.
Last night, Tony Perkins of the Family Leader Council was on Hardball. He said that the President has prohibited anyone from carrying a Bible into Walter Reed Army Hospital. Chis was flabbergasted by this statement and asked him to repeat it. He stood by his story and went into his talking points how the President is anti-faith.
These guys do this on every issue. They make up something and then proceed like it is a fact. They repeat it over and over until it becomes an issue. That's where the MSM media has not done their job. They should be dismissing these lies and refusing to act like they are an issue. We had show after show where the Swift Boat lies were debated like they had some credence. The military records showed that Kerry's boat was shot to hell and could not be repaired. You had a Green Beret that Kerry pulled out of the water saying that bullets flying all around Kerry and the solder was amazed Kerry survived. The Swift Boat lies cost Kerry the Presidency. Under the present circumstances, the tactic works.
The repeated lie is the biggest gun in the conservative arsenal. They use it very effectively. Democrats, after decades of being attacked by it, still don't know how to fight back or worse refuse to fight back because they think they are "better, more intellectual, above that sort of thing". Maybe they are. But they keep losing elections because of that. When will they learn? Never. They don't want to win - they want to stay "principled", which, in the end, will doom this country. Set aside the idea of "the high road" and fight back and WIN, then you can show "the high road" with policy decisions
No-one seems to want to publicly call these guys liars. It goes on year after year, eroding the beauty of a free-speech country. No-one holds them accountable, but they certainly get MORE air time. Witnessing this is like standing in line at the grocery store...all the tabloids and the ridiculous claims and stories, with a smidgeon of truth mixed in for "credibility". The angst over Obama reflects the attitudes toward a HUGE percentage of the American populace, held by the likes of Rush, Hannity, Bill, Glenn, etc. Their destructiveness goes on unchecked, with no-one held accountable for their words and "fact-finding" expertise.
I will, “LIARS
