1. if they are lying, say they are fucking LYING!

this has been in the news for 2 days. why has it taken this long for a dem with some backbone to at least raise his voice? why? because they are pols.

2. THEY don't have a clue...nor care where their figures come from.

It could come from glenn beck, and they'd quote it as though it were "fact".

This dying party of lying sons-of-bitches thrives on lies and deceit. We are NOT going to change that. We just have to call them on this, as Earl Blumenauer does on the House floor. THIS needs air time. The brain dead propaganda network audience certainly aren't going to look for it on their own. They are too f*cking lame and fired up to turn the channel and get the truth from anyone but this shit spewing network of repugs, tits and anger.

We are a nation of morons. Facts are not important. Short little messages are edible. That's what they absorb.

4. What is the $3,100 or $39 in reference to? What tax or research?

Congressman Blumenauer is the bitchin' bicycle activist. :loveya:

5. Here's what they are talking about.

"Sen. John Thune (R-SD) spreads the myth that the M.I.T. study concludes that the Obama cap and trade plan would cost American families $3,100 a year. Sen. Mike Johanns (R-NE) said that climate change legislation is really about tax policy, “If you have a light switch in your home and you hit that light switch, you will be impacted by climate change legislation.” Once again, the problem is that this is a lie, which once again today was refuted by one of the authors of the M.I.T. study, John Reilly."
