If the facts don't work, baffle 'em with BS

Here are documented some admissions by GOP operatives that the ends justify the lies.

Regards,

Why am I not surprized?

Nothing new here. Unfortunately, lying in politics in a bipartisan endeavor. All's fair in love and war, you know. And politics is war by other means (apologies to von Clausewitz). If the electorate doesn't like it, they should punish the liars. But I think people actually enjoyed being lied to. Political lies comport with their worldview and they'll reward those politicians who pander to their worldview. Sucks, don't it?

Oh, NO, Finn. Republicans NEVER lie, that would be SINFUL. Jesus would get angry with them. Only the left lies, because we're all Godless heathens.

No, not throw it out the window. I'm just enough of a capitalist that I would sell it first. But, I am reduced to watching movies and "educational channels" only, at home. No more t.v. news, talk shows or sitcoms at all. When I tell you guys that I am forced to watch Fox at work, I am serious. They keep it on in the breakroom 24/7. And we are not allowed to take lunch anywhere else. That place has become downright Orwellian. My boss, who is also my best friend even told me, (Because he wants me to stay there.) to watch what I post on Facebook, because "I-T is watching.". So much for "Freedom of Speech", eh? I can only imagine that the same is going on in workplaces across the nation.

Welcome to 21st Century America.

Now, maybe you righties in here understand why I see things the way I do?

Glad you decided to hang around a bit, Dave. I gonna keep looking for something to disagree with you about, though, just to keep it interesting.
