Have Republicans been lying?

[Playinghardball]

What do you think the answer is?

[Flashmann]

1. Have Republicans been lying?

Have their lips been moving?...

[femmocrat]

5. LOL

You beat me!

[Iggo]

10. Oh, that's funny.

Looks like a bunch of us didn't read the first reply.

[Flashmann]

11. A general rule I go by is:

If a thuglicon is,in any fashion forming words,the odds are extremely high they are lying.The likelihood they are are not is so slim that it needn't be seriously considered for longer than a millisecond...

[femmocrat]

2. Were their lips moving?

[yesphan]

3. Does the Pope

crap in the woods ?

[calimary]

6. ...with Catholic bears?

[calimary]

4. I dunno - have their lips been moving?

They have? Then yes, they've been lying.

[longship]

7. I am shocked. Utterly shocked!! nt

[Iggo]

8. Have their lips been moving?

[JaneyVee]

9. Wake me up when a Republican anytime anywhere says something truthful, or smart.

[ismnotwasm]

12. Is water wet?

[AgingAmerican]

13. The republicans have been destroying America

but they can't even get that right...

[polichick]

14. Sure, and they've made sure half the public...

doesn't know the difference.

They didn't set up talk radio and faux news for nothing - best investment evah!

[dickthegrouch]

15. There's some question about it?

Republicans, for all their supposed superior morality and Christian principles, don't seem to be able to do anything but bear false witness.

IMHO lying in public discourse should be illegal.

It is not possible for engineers to design functioning devices without describing the entire problem, clearly it isn't possible for lawmakers either. Far too many lawmakers try to design solutions knowing only their own exceptionally narrow viewpoints.

Both the lawmakers and the public need to know all sides before creating the solution.

[MotherPetrie]

16. Of course they are lying, but that graphic is deceptive too.

[cascadiance]

17. Does the earth have water on it?...

That's about an equivalent question...

[kentuck]

18. Are they still breathing?

If so, they are lying.

[RushIsRot]

19. Only if they have been attempting to communicate - ANYTHING.

[Sheepshank]

20. I think they are telling us the truth when they say they would ban all abortions,

that they would privitize all schools, that they would privitze the military, and deregulate all financial industries, privitize Social Security and dismantle AHA.

Seems like every stand they make is contrary to what is best for the nation as a whole whether is be admitting an action or denying it or lying about it.

[EdwardSmith74]

21. Do they do otherwise?

[tridim]

22. Same question to DU.

Because each time these metrics are posted here there are many DU'ers who react exactly like the lying Republicans.

I bet there will even be some in this thread.

[Aerows]

26. A trend in your posts

seems to be that you are highly critical of people on DU, and the attitudes held by the people on DU. Now I'm sure I'll be "one of those people" for pointing this out, but I wonder, if you have such scorn for us, why bother to hang around us?

I'm not showing you the door, or asking you to leave, I'm just wondering why you keep coming to the party, drinking the beer and then complaining what a horrible party it is.

[tridim]

28. I'm critical of DU'ers who respond to good news like Republicans.

There are many here.

I "hang around" because I'm a progressive Democrat who has been an active DU'er since day one. Any questions?

[Aerows]

29. You call yourself progressive?

Okay. I haven't been here since day one, but I've been on enough sites as a liberal and a progressive that I know which way the wind blows.

I notice you also aren't a star member. Beyond that, though, I'm sure that a person that seeks to divide DU members and constantly complains about them is exactly the sort of person the site seeks to have, especially from non-paying/non-supportive members.

[tridim]

30. 100% progressive.

And a paying subscriber since 2001.

Fuck you for implying otherwise.

[Aerows]

31. You weren't ten minutes ago

I merely noted what I noted.

[progressoid]

32. A couple of those metrics aren't good news to everyone.

Rising profits for corporations and stock markets is great for the 1%. Not so much for those of us on the bottom from whom they make their profits.

And while the unemployment rate is dropping; the income of those recently employed is also dropping.

[Aerows]

23. Are their mouths moving? n/t

[Kingofalldems]

24. Obama is a communist and a Muslin

[Aerows]

27. Linen-ist, even n/t

[malaise]

25. Are they breathing?

Is the pope catholic?

Will the sun rise tomorrow?

Do fish live in water?
