Sue Obama over removing work requirement for Welfare/Old lie makes shameful return

The boehner is pulling out that old lie, Rachel reported on it last night


I dont know what to do anymore, romney was almost elected by lying to the people about this welfare thing.

Jesus, are you Americans so god damn dumb you are going to believe something that has been repeatedly proven to you to be a lie?

Really?

Romney's horrifically unpatriotic move to use Benghazi and american deaths in real time, something no other prez candidate has done in history, and then he made this lie up about the work requirement.

When will you people get angry enough to see that this is bigger than politics?

Shows just what a liar Romney was, (actually he still is,) and now how big of a liar Boehner and his cronies are.

This proves how intellectually and morally bankrupt the GOP is.

when people make any kind of reference to Nazi Germany, but this technique, often called "The Big Lie" theory, comes straight from the bowels of hell, courtesy of Josef Goebbels.

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”
