What do liars do when confronted?
They lie.

Rove is no exeception and same for the people that work for him.

They lie for a living. We all know that.

Why would they start telling the truth now?

3. You talking about Jason Leopold?
There's a history there, I understand.

Ah, so there's never any hope for redemption in this lifetime?

Alas.

10. Love?
I was just axing.

Someone mentioned liars.

I was wondering to whom the poster referred.

There are so many to choose from.

13. The OP was about Rove
Who do you love to throw to the wolves... Rovians, or lefties?

Granted, he who is without sin should cast the first stone, but we have been rained on by hard rovian stones. Lefties are really quite soft to the touch, you oughtta know, eh?

14. Rove?
Edited on Wed May-17-06 03:58 PM by OldLeftieLawyer
You never mentioned his name. Interesting. Left the door wide open for speculation, and then got wiggy when speculation took place.

Who threw whom anywhere? It's a message board. People have opinions.

There are wolves?



So, having an opinion with which you disagree equals throwing some unnamed individual to the wolves?

Boy, am I glad you don't live next door to me.

17. Rove
Again, the OP which you responded too was about Rove.

Then your post mentioned going after Leopold.

I asked.. who do you love? Meaning do you love rove enough to ignore and instead cast about for a lefty to dis?

Cause that's what it looks like to me, and being that I don't live next to you, but am right here, now, I said it.

Actually, they accuse you of lying. It's happened to me.

6. No, they get defensive
And start supplementing the lie w/clarifications & explanations until they can't even keep their story straight anymore.

8. The Abusive Husband Syndrome
It's like the abusive husband, battered wife syndrome. Bushco is the abusive husband and the nation is the battered wife.

Oh, gosh, he gave us a tax cut... Oh, should I go back to him again or stay in the shelter? Oh, dear. He says he's going to protect us. He says he loves us. He says that he do anything for us. He gives us flowers, chocolates, promises.... he doesn't intend to keep...

He slaps our faces. He hits us and says it's for our own good. Then, he tells us to go make dinner for him. Go do the dishes. Iron his shirts...

They don't just lie, they make us feel okay about it, then go on tormenting.

11. They get defensive, they curse, they cling to the lie as hard as
they can and no matter how you rub thier noses in the lie, they stick to it and get more abusive the longer they have to lie.

That's what liars do.

26. In fact, I am saying the opposite. If there was an Indictment, why would
Fitzgerald stay silent?

I'm crazy about Fitzgerald, and cannot understand why such an admirable man would not announce an indictment if there was one handed down.

Uuuuuuuh, they try to redifine the entire world to convert their lies to truth. It's really that simple.
