In reply to the discussion: Pic Of The Moment: Rep. Who Gave GOP SOTU Response Tells Big Lie About Support For Women [View all]Hulk

They can lie all the time, and all they want. Doesn't make a damn bit of difference if it's truth or fiction, because MOST Americans only hear the lie. They never hear it IS a lie. They never hear the retraction - if there is one at all.
This is effective propaganda BS from politics. It can work both ways, but seems to be working well for the reich wingers since as far back as I can remember. Remember those "weapons of mass destruction", and "the mushroom cloud" that was coming? Just bull shit. But we eat it up, and a small minority of informed citizens ever realize it was a fookin' lie in the first place.
This is in the first chapter of the RNC Playbook. Lie, cheat and steal! As long as YOU WIN! God loves ya!
