The biggest talking point lie

[Roy Rolling]

The biggest talking point lie/excuse from the debt ceiling fight by Teabaggers is: "we must force government to balance the budget with a Constitutional amendment because they have never done it on their own".

Do the Teabaggers ever study history? What about the last year of the Clinton presidency when the U.S. boasted a budget SURPLUS? It seems like under effective leadership the budget was handled responsibly, but the last ten years under a frat-boy president and cheer-leading Republican Congress they spent money like drunken sailors on shore leave---with apologies to drunken sailors who at least sober up.

The Teabaggers and others who repeat this lie are still drunk from the Bush decade.

1. There was no Tea Party back then but...

When there was a budget surplus and a surplus of jobs, the Dittoheads all claimed and complained it was because taxes were too high.

2. The RW constantly rewrites history to suit their goals.

and the ignorant masses just take it all in.

3. bingo

it is easier for the masses to follow the lies than to work through the cognitive dissonance caused by thinking about how much reality differs from their ideology.

4. The biggest Republican lie is that their entire agenda/mantra is a big lie and lie after lie must

be told to continue a facade of some legitimacy. :patriot:
