Even the Little things Republcians Lie about

[punked]

This is seriously who the Republicans chose to lead? Seems like recurring problem with them, bad leaders, dumb followers.

Appearing today on Laura Ingraham's radio show, RNC chairman Michael Steele said that he wrote his book Right Now before he became chairman. The problem is, the book itself doesn't read like it could have possibly been written before January 2009 -- it was clearly written in late 2009, either in November or December, and is based entirely on current events up to that point.

"I wrote this book before I became chairman. Because of the clock and the calendar, I wound up doing it now," said Steele. It's not clear whether this might have been intended to somehow deflect criticism from other Republicans over the book -- GOPers have said they didn't know Steele was writing a book until it was released -- or whether he might have been speaking figuratively that he decided to write the book earlier. It's hard to know exactly what he meant.

The significance of this bit of trivia is ... what?

From this apparent inconsistency about the period when a politician's book was written ... don't we all know that someone else might have written the book for him, just like Obama got Bill Ayers to lend him him voice? It's common amongst politicians to have ghost writers, speech writers, etc. And it's just as common for them to claim authorship.

Just saying ... I mean, if you think that this is the standard that politicians should be held to ... it just makes me wonder who'll be left in the room.

I don't think he should be lieing left right and center no.

You really believe that?

Stick around. This forum needs more truthers and birthers and assorted wingnuts. I'll tell you all about my theory on how organized crime rules government.

Oh, wait. Nobody even disputes that one.

So, in this age of the monster bailouts to the rich, and dubious stimulus bills, with $millions being sent to addresses that do not exist, to fictional zip codes, this little fib is one you notice?

If it is a fib.

Is saying that as President, you'd post legislation online for 72 hours so that everyone can read it a little lie, or a big one?

What about saying that you'd fully broadcast healthcare reform on CSPAN, so that everyone can see, and little lie, or a big one?

Is saying that you'd have no lobbyists in your Administration a little lie or a big one?

Is saying that you wouldn't tax people's health insurance plans a little lie or a big one?

punked, it's good to see you're covering the important issues of the day! (Michael Steele's book date)

Way to speak truth to power.

Yep Republicans just as big of liars as Democrats or do you forget Bush promise to reform health care Shady?

[Shady]

or do you forget Bush promise to reform health care Shady?

Not being able to because you don't have the votes isn't a lie. Obama's had trouble with health reform and he has control of the house and a 60 vote majority in the senate.

When are you gonna let us know your actual source? That website hasn't been active for several years. I'm gonna guess either DailyKos, Talking Points Memo, or The Huffington Post. The only places where you post from and get your information.

Wrong. I'm surprised you didn't know that Leiberman is an independent who caucuses with the Dems but does not necessarily bow to Obama. You might remember him as that little guy beside John McCain throughout the 2008 election campaign who was originally supposed to be McCain's VP pick. So the so-called 60 vote majority is a myth.

Glad to help you out.

No it's not a myth. As you state, Lieberman caucuses with the Dems. Say that again, Lieberman caucuses with the Dems. Repeat, caucuses with the Dems. And he's actually one of two independents who caucus with the Democrats. The other being socialist Bernie Sanders from Vermont. And while they may be technically independents, Sanders votes the Dem party line 99% of the time, and Lieberman votes the Dem party line 95% of the time.

How come McCain's Campaign manager said the other day they were going to pick Lieberman as the VP I repeat the Republican VP, the Vice President on the Republican ticket?

Because McCain was very interested in creating the first bipartisan ticket.

[punked]

Because McCain was very interested in creating the first bipartisan ticket.

So interested infact he picked a Republican who didn't even know Iraq wasn't behind 9/11 right? No it was cause Lieberman is a Republican, but not like the ones we have now but like the progressive ones of the 70's and 80s. He just can't say that cause it will fry him in his state.

[Shady]

No it was cause Lieberman is a Republican

Take a look at his voting record. He's anything but a Republican.

"Senator Lieberman has consistently received 90 to 100 percent ratings for his Senate votes over the years by national liberal groups like the Americans for Democratic Action, the League of Conservation Voters, Naral and many others."

The New York Times

Another strikeout for punked.

Those are lifetime ratings and I will admit there was a time when Lieberman was a Democrat no longer. Glade you don't pay attention though.

Here is one about lying Republicans Scott Brown looks the Camera right in the face and lies right too, just as he does too Mass voters.

Which makes Brown's statement to the Boston Globe Wednesday about all the fuss a bit of a surprise. "I'm a Scott Brown Republican," Brown told the paper when asked about his ideological alliances. When a reporter asked him about the support from the tea party groups, he apparently demurred. "He also claimed that he was unfamiliar with the 'Tea Party movement,' when asked by a reporter," the Globe reports.

But Browns own website talks about a fund raising event held for him by the tea party. Hmmmmmmmm he never heard of them???? But he pumped up a fund raiser for himself too the tune of 32,000 by them. Good thing Mass voters have Coakley

ANNNNNNNNNNDDDDDDDD HE SPOKE AT A TEA PARTY RALLY. Classic lying Scott Brown, a true Republican as Shady would say about him.

What does this have to doing with Scott Brown lying Shady?

It illustrates his support over a wide political spectrum.

How? Do I now get to name all the Unions for Coakley to show how wide over the political spectrum her support is? Face Scott Brown is a liar and he is in a losing race. The First poll after the debate has him losing ground.
