They just make shit up.

Where do Republican lies come from?

They say Obama was born in Kenya. No proof, but they spread it around anyway.

They say Obama raised taxes. In fact, he has cut taxes. But that doesn't keep the Republicans from spreading the lie like it was gospel.

They say he has gone around the world apologizing for America. But they cannot point out one time that it has happened.

They say he is against small businesses and they take his words out of context to prove it.

There is one thing that Republicans do well. Lie.

1. Facts have all but been exterminated in GOP circles.

Another legacy of the Reagan Republicans.

2. Their voters will believe anything that makes them feel good.

Talking with Repub moms way back when, the one thing I remember is they didn't like to hear negative news. They live in a bubble. That's why FoxNews took off the way it did, when it did.

6. Ding, ding, ding....

We have a winner! The reason that Republicans WILL believe anything is because the WANT to believe it. In a sense, it's almost like Fox News isn't lying, per se, just telling them shit that they want to hear.

10. No, No ...

... They're still lying. They're just lying inside the bubble so their viewers don't notice it.

12. I guess I should have said...

The people don't feel "as though" they're being lied to...

You're right, though. Lying sacks 'o crap. Every last one of them.

3. The only thing more pitiful is the morons who believe the lies.

[kentuck]

5. Yeah, they want America to be respected again around the world...

...like we were under George W Bush.

And they want us to balance the budget and be fiscally responsible.

And cutting taxes will bring in more money to the Treasury...etc.

11. Mitt is certainly proving ...

... that he can make us just as respected around the world as we were under Dubya.

4. If no one believed a lie, would it be a lie?

You really can't have lies pervade without brain-dead receptors.

7. The rest of us left that "let's pretend" shit back in nursery school

The pubs are still playing Peter Pan - "don't wanna grow up!".

8. its a 'gut' feeling ;)

no need for silly things like facts and history

whoever thought wed be sitting here talking about conservatives being the emotion driven group

9. If you own the airwaves lying to the degree they do becomes second nature. You don't

...even have to own all the airwaves just half and the rest will follow because they're just as dumb.

The US M$M has an approval rating as low as congress IIRC

13. Don't forget how he has been on a "spending binge"

and they say he is (simultaneously) a unrepentant "socialist" AND a "crony capitalist". Oh, and a radical anti-American Muslim who also has a radical (former) Christian pastor! The cognitive dissonance- and the effort it must take to maintain their sanity in the face thereof- must be staggering.
