"What is it with you guys?
You think not getting caught in a lie is the same thing as telling the truth?"

That is one great line and so very prescient for the mob now in power. From Bush to the bottom dweller Santorum; have you ever seen such in your face liars. Not since high school and the locker room gossip have I heard the bottomless pit of lies.

2. Even when caught in a lie, they lie about the lie.
Second nature. That's how the thugs got in power. Doesn't bother them one bit.

3. It boggles the mind...
My husband and I have a theory. Since they keep telling so many lies, every new one detracts from the outrage over previous lies. I think it's a pretty brilliant strategy (if you have no soul), just make sure that any outrageous criminal behavior is followed close on the heels by a new even more outrageous act and no one will pay attention long enough to follow up on the previous act. They are like the energizer bunnies of corruption, they just keep going and going and going.........

6. I think you and your husband . . .
. . . are absolutely right. It is literally part of the Rove-Monster's game plan.

9. It doesn't boggle my mind...
but it sure does piss me off. Each subsequent outrageous lie overshadows the previous one, which in today's world means "forgiven and forgotten." No one could have imagined that Republicans would lie and then lie again...

13. Damn straight...
Anyone who points out their earth shattering level of incompetence is accused of playing politics...and they get away with it over and over and over again...where does it end?!

4. I know.
Literally everything that spews out of their pie-holes is a lie.

They have, as a friend once said, "Ceased to perambulate about the poles of veracity!"


(Lying rat-bastards works just as well.)

5. As Bush said to McCain in 2000...
"It's just politics, John." They don't think it's wrong to lie (in front of God and everybody, if they're religious) in pursuit of their goals. Hell, lyin' ain't as bad as just killin' us - which is what they'd like to do.
