Paul Ryan: Look Into My Lies

August 31st, 2012 3:09 am @LOLGOP

The old saying goes “There are no referees in politics.” But there are fact checkers — Politifact, FactCheck.org, The Fact Checker. These “independent” seers like to think they’re defending the truth. But Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan have figured out how to use them to spread lies.

Many of these fact checkers peer into the words of both major parties and do their best to suggest that both sides are the same – despite the fact, for instance, that the GOP’s nominee Mitt Romney has more “Pants on Fire” rulings than any national politician.

Rarely are fact checkers as unanimous and righteous in their condemnation of a falsehood as they have been of the Romney campaign’s claim that the president took the work requirement out of Welfare. It’s a flat out lie. But it’s also the first ad that has moved the dial for Romney. You may have listened as a Romney pollster, when confronted with that fact that the attack is false, said, “We aren’t going to let our campaign be dictated by fact checkers.”

Instead of letting fact checkers edit their campaign, Romney’s team has a better use for fact checkers: campaign surrogates.

The “birther” scandal shows that debunking lies does little to quell the lie and much more to spread it. It’s a tactic Mitt Romney has used effectively for a year now as he’s accused the president of “apologizing for America.” That never happened. But to debunk the lie, you have to repeat it. It’s classic “He’ll look like hell denying it” politics.

Although modern politicians are generally too smart to repeat lies about themselves, the Romney camp knows the fact checkers will. So how do you dictate what the media will be talking about tomorrow? Make purposely deceptive statements about the issues you want to highlight.

What are Paul Ryan and Mitt Romney’s biggest weaknesses? Medicare; the auto bailout; a hugely unpopular Congress and Ryan’s record of voting for Bush-era surplus-blowing policies.

So Ryan systematically made an “attack by assertion rather than accusation” about each of these issues. By making these attacks in deceptive ways that either ignored or left out crucial facts, he forced the media to repeat his assertions.

From the morning Romney announced Ryan as his running mate, the candidates have been making the assertion that the president funneled – or sometimes “robbed” — $716 billion from Medicare to pay for Obamacare. This assertion is a classic half-truth in several ways. The money comes from savings that extend the life of the program. Ryan voted to keep the cuts but not to fund ObamaCare.

But you see? We’ve fallen into the precise trap that Ryan set.

The sad truth is that they can easily get away with it. I don’t think Romney/Ryan even care what “facts” they come out with anymore, and they don’t have to. There’s a vast alternative conservative media that’s sprung up over the years, promoting an alternate reality that will cover for them. Furthermore, people know which cable news network, which websites, and what radio talk shows to get their info from, which also preconditions them to disbelieve the dose of reality they’ll get the moment they go outside of that bubble to the regular, normal media.

You think the Romney people don’t know this. ‘Our campaign won’t be dictated to by facts.’ What?? In my lifetime, I never thought I’d hear a political campaign ever say that.

We have some very conservative posters here at the National Memo, a few of whom seem smart enough, well read and well educated. Yet, some of their postings on how something went down or what caused what, are sheer unadulterated nonsense from the parallel universe created just for them by the right wing media. Now, how do you think that propaganda affects people not quite so well read or formally educated? It has it’s effect on the political IQ of a voting populace over time for sure.

neece00

You are right, they started out saying that they were not interested in the facts. Well, if that is the case, then the sky is the limit. You can say whatever you want and it doesn’t matter.
CPANY

It’s Obama’s task to debunk the Republican liars. He doesn’t seem to be energetic enough in his campaign.

He should take a page from Harry Truman and whistle stop around the country, getting his message across. If he doesn’t wake up, he’ll lose. As it is, he’s becoming almost invisible.

The bump in the polls was not unexpected. The GOP clambake has been going on all week with TV coverage all over the place. The taking heads from all points of view have been talking about them all week. The entire country got their introduction to Ryan with a slick and dishonest speech. No matter the facts, but good spin none-the-less.

The Democratic Party and President Obama get their turn next week. After that show the polls will indicate a little bump for Obama and the results of those polls will show things back to where they’ve been for months.

The attention span of the average American is very short indeed. The late and great Gore Vidal defined USA as the United States of Amnesia. Good and accurate words coming from a word master. For proof of that collective amnesia all we have to do is look to the GOP. They’ve dismissed Bush II from their memories and they’ve been trying to do the same for the rest of us for almost four years now. If not for little brother Jeb there would have been no mention of him at all at their party meeting. Don’t worry Obama and his team are loaded for bear and will come out next week with guns blazing.

This is true Lynda, but I hate to say it, we have an ignorant electorate in this country and the Republican convention has proven that. Because the choices in the last election of voting in Tea Party candidate’s.

I have been working as a middleclass for many years, and I’m ok with that, but every job I have ever had was in it’s design to make the guy on top rich, that is just the way business works. I don’t see it working for the country.

http://www.facebook.com/dominick.vila.1 Dominick Vila

There have always been rich, middle class, and poor people and, in all likelihood there will always be since making everyone rich or poor would simply create a plane level field where nobody is either. There is nothing wrong with this socio-economic standard, a long as the wealthy don’t abuse the less fortunate, the middle class has enough to pay for all the essentials and provide their children with the education they need to succeed and prosper; and the poor have a roof over their heads, food on the table, and enough to keep warm in winter. Unfortunately, people who enjoy firing people and who spend millions in houses with car elevators and dancing horses seldom remember the less fortunate…until they need their help or their vote, at which time they don’t hesitate to make fools of themselves pretending to be what they are not. Mitt Romney is not a businessmen, from a job creation perspective, he is a venture capitalist focused on accumulating wealth. His tax plan says it all when it comes to how he feels about the middle class and what he believes is best for us…and people like him.

http://pulse.yahoo.com/_KOPKDFAUQPIIRAFI3HEXNMSHLQ Ed

Sorry Dominic, you have your history wrong. There has NOT always been rich, middle class and poor. The middle class rose only after WW 2 riding the minimum wage, government college loans and UNIONS. What the present republican party is aiming for is to go back to the point where there is THE RICH and everybody else. Roughly the period between 1911 and 1945.

In other words Romney LIES (Rove type Republican) and Ryan swears to the LIE (Rove type Republican).

Come to your senses Americans!
Thank you Obama Administration for saving our country and the world from the ignorant, flagrant destruction of the ECONOMY of the World, by the 8 years of REPUBLICAN FAILURE resulting in the REPUBLICAN GREAT RECESSION of 2008.

In January 2009 under Bush unemployment 6.8%, national debt under 8 trillion, gas was 1.68 gallon, groceries cost 40% less. Damn right I am not better off thaan I was 4 years ago.

http://www.facebook.com/people/Michael-King-Ross/1516635769 Michael King Ross

This is another example of republican lying – claiming that gas was $1.68 per gallon when Obama took office. Technically correct, but only because of the fact that Republican policies had caused the worst financial meltdown since the Great Depression and we were headed off the cliff into the complete destruction of the world’s financial system. In fact, as those of us who were adults and paying attention in those days, gas had risen to over $4.00 per gallon under Bush. When everything else crashed, gas prices also briefly went into a free-fall, but it was a steep trough and the cost of low gas prices was the disastrous economy that the Republican policies caused.

But here’s a fact: when Obama took office, the Dow was at about 6500, down from 14000. An it was looking very much like it was headed lower – another Great Depression was imminent. So much so that even George Bush’s administration saw the need for a $700 billion TARP bailout – now THAT’s bad. But now the Dow is back over 13000 and the US auto industry an the financial system have been saved and the depression was avoided.

So, yes, I am MUCH better off today than I was 4 years ago. And so is the United States, and so is the World.

interestedobserver2

You lie. Gas was $1.68 a gallon months before the election and stayed that way right up until Obama took office, when, amazingly, it started the steady climb to the moon that has culminated in today’s ridiculous prices. If you were paying $4 a gallon in 2008, then you were living in France.

gallery90

Uh…The national average gas price in the US has never peaked as high during the Obama administration as it did during the Bush II administration. And I remember paying $4+ during the Bush II administration.

Of course this is relevant only if you believe that the administration controls, or seriously influences, the price of fuel at the pump. Fuel is a global market.

Increased production in the US will go to the highest bidder — which might be China. Free market, baby!

The US will not be truly energy independent in our lifetime — especially when people like my fellow office worker insist on driving a Corvette to work when he could walk across the street to Metro, go up one escalator, and be at the front door of the building.

Bottom line: I don’t blame the administration(s) for the price of gas. I blame me. It sucks to be me, but that’s life.
interestedobserver2

Someone asked for my sources — c’mon folks read even the LEFT wing papers — they are saying “highest gas prices EVER.” Now how about you show me YOUR sources — you know the ones that say Bush had gas prices at $4 a gallon. Good luck with that.
http://www.facebook.com/maggie.croft.92 Maggie Croft

Let’s see your sources, please. Didn’t it ever occur to any of you that since President Obama wants to eliminate the subsidies and wants the oil industry to pay their share of taxes, that the oil industry is going to try and get back at him in this election year? You can also look up the record profits for the oil industry under President Bush.
imabrummie

Your claim that President Obama personally intervened in the price of gasoline is about as ridiculous as Rat Limberdick’s claim of the President setting the course of Hurricane Isaac so it would interfere with the RePUBIC-Clown convention. No pun intended, but neither of those claims holds water!
muggsmcginnis

Moritorium on of shore drilling? Giving Brazil and other foreign countries $Billions of American taxpayer money that Obama borrowed for drilling for oil. Borrowering $Trillion and crashing thr Dollar! Oh No! Obama didn’t do anything to raise prices and inflation, my eye!
earldogs

Oh my we can correct this the minute the new sluge pipe line is open from canda. Only problem is what do you do with the toxic waste left over after the oil is extracted. Canada dont want the toxic wste. If they did they would put in a refinery and ship gas thru the pepr line and ship it to Texas to be send over seas on the world marker, not for use in the USA as you all are told by fox news. There is such a glut of oil in the States now. I west Texas they dont have anywhere else to put it. Tanks are full. In north Dakota they have capped all the wells, no market. The long term contracts with the Towel head countries is what keeps up the price.
earldogs

Wait till Mittens does away with new energy policys such as wind, the addition of ethenal to gas. You will see gas go to 7 dollars a gallon. You see we could drill every inch of the USA and have oil running out of our ass and big oil would just export it overseas. If Mittens is elected he will scrap and new sources of energy, like Raygun did when Carter tried in the 70s to get new sources into our energy policy. To think that big energy and over seas corporations have put 1.5 billion into Mittens election and not want repaid for that is just insane as fox news.
http://profile.yahoo.com/QMDTGJ3LMRSCRUR7RMJV5U7B2U Lynn

You have to be a bus rider to believe that gas was $1.68 a gal be cause I could not fill my tank up for less that $30.00 and that was usually for ten gallons of gas as Filled up before the tank read empty. What world are you living in ?
interestedobserver2

Check the mirror, sweetie; seems like Chris Matthew and MSNBC have done a job on YOU! But of course, we couldn’t possibly admit there is any truth or anything else other than ours out there, could we? I PAID $1.68 a gallon in flyover country (specifically Nebraska) just prior to the One being elected. Of course you’ll call me a liar, but since I really don’t care about your stupid opinion, it really doesn’t matter….
http://profile.yahoo.com/QMDTGJ3LMRSCRUR7RMJV5U7B2U Lynn

You have announced to the world that you a republican because you cannot tell the truth, so everyone else is a liar . FOX has really done a job on you. Find somewhere else to get the facts,I have paid $1.50 or more for gas since 2001 and that was before the unpaid wars of Bush and Cheny . Fact , we export more oil than we import so why all the hypocrisy.

Terry, if everything was so wonderful under Bush why was he missing from the convention? I don’t just mean not actually being there, but missing from history and the narrative of the convention. Without his little brother his name would never have come up at all. Don’t you wonder why his party wants the entire country to forget about the 8 years he ran the country in new levels of debt, two wars and the great recession? Seriously my friend?

Terry, exactly where did you get your facts or do facts matter? In the beginning of 2009, unemployment topped out at 9.9% according to the Bureah of Labor Statistics who is a better source than the drugster. In 2008, people in Oakland, California were paying $4.01/gal for gasoline. I don’t know what kind of a business discount you get for gasoline, but I haven’t paid $1.68 for years. The grocery index rises about 8%/year no-matter who is president. What makes you think the president goes around the grocery stores setting the prices?

Remember what Mitch McConnell said, “The main goal of the Repubican Party is to see that Obama is a one term president. And, they set about to do just that. You can look up every bill that was presented and you can see how it was voted on.
muggsmcginnis

In the November 2006 mid-term elections, under Bush, the unemployment rate was 4.5% and the growth was over 4%. The Democrats have falsely blamed one man over the years; George W. Bush. It is the Democrats and Obama’s polices of borrow and spend that has been a disaster to the Nation’s economy. The very thing that has gotten us into the mess (the Democrats manipulative power grab) is still Obama’s and the Democrats failed disastrous plan for the future. With 60 straight months since October 2007 of growth under 2.5% and the unemployment rate over the past 42 months being over 8%, President Obama and the Democrat leadership is not making it. The Democrats had plenty of time to do their thing and they did it for the whole world to see and experience. Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan and America can and will do better!

Ronald Reagan had the corporate tax rate down to 28%! You can read about it on any Online Encyclopedia! You read about how it was the Economic Engine to 25 years of growth and prosperity between Ronald Reagan to George W. Bush! The longest and greatest period of growth and prosperity in the history of the world! Because of it our Western allies also prospered and it made the Communist Empire and former Soviet Union crumble under its own weight of its Socialist bankruptcy, oppression and corruption! The big lie could not compete in the real world.
Yes! 100 straight quarters of growth over 3.5% to 6% and unemployment under 5% until the Democrats took over the Congress in both Houses in 2007 and it has been downhill ever since and made worse with Obama becoming president in 2009! Obama inherited the economic mess from his own Democrat Party majority Congress of the 110th and 111th Congress’ from 2007 to 2011.

In October 2008 the stock market was around 6500. Today its over 13,000. Water projects fot the western usa budgets to grow veggies in california and arizona were cut by the GOP congress. Leaving thousands of acres to dry to grow a crop. Mr Terry damn you fox news ditto heads for the non truths you spread. George Bush came on the TV in Sept 2008 and said the USA is in the worst finical shape sionce the the great deppression. That it would take many years to up right the ship. All the bull crap and wanting the failure of our country just to get the president out of office as more than hurt the recouvery than anything else. Dont forget if Mittens runs this country down the tubes all he has to do is get on his private jet and go where his money is stashed out overseas. STOP THE LIES.

If I remember right unemployment was around 10 or 11 percent ,because jobs were flying overseas or north of the border , the only employment that was up was being a soldier because there were no paying jobs to be had, so most of the young people joined up and that is the only way that Romney is going to live up to his promise of lowering unemployment without government workers is to declare WAR on Iran or someone else and that should not bother any who believes their lies!

muggsmcginnis

The country had it good from Ronald Reagan to George W. Bush. It was only in January 2007 when the Democrats took over both Houses in the 110th and 111th Congresses that is when everything went downhill and made worse with the election of Barack H. Obama. Obama inherited the economic mess from his own Democrat majority Congresses from 2007 to 2011. Thank God that the Republicans took over the House of Representatives in 2011 or things would be a lot worse than what they are now. I hope and pray that Mitt Romney is elected President along with Paul Ryan and the Republicans taking over the Senate and even more in the House of Representatives. The United States then will have another 25 years and more of growth, real opportunity and real prosperity!

The GOP has taken a page directly from the Nazi playbook; Josef Gobbels, the Nazi propaganda minister, stated that if you tell the same lie long enough and loud enough the people will believe it!!!

DFW

Göbbels got it from Lenin. The Republicans are the successors to the Soviet communists. Look at their attitude toward vote counting after elections:

“Those who cast the votes decide nothing. Those who count the votes decide everything.”–Josef Stalin
“It’s all over but the counting. And we’ll take care of the counting.” –Rep. Peter King, R-NY, at the White House on election day, 2004.

The Republicans told the American public right there and then: “we’ll take care of the counting.” And so they did. In Ohio, whose exit polls showed Kerry winning, exactly ONE of the electronic voting machines installed by the Republicans got a forensic examination. In a precinct with 600 or so registered voters, the machine gave Bush 3000 votes. NO OTHER MACHINES IN OHIO were allowed to be forensically examined. The voting machine company declared the 2500+ fictitious excess vote for Bush on the one machine to be a mere “glitch,” but they allowed no other machine of theirs to undergo an independent forensic examination. They DID allow Ohio to decrease the Bush margin of victory by 2500 votes. The USA still lost.

Republican “anti-communism” is a sham. They are the truest disciples of the Soviet Communists still out there.

sleeprn01

Interesting, I did not know about the election fraud in 2004. However, I’m not surprised by the GOPs voter suppression tactics. I find it curious that only GOP run states had “voter fraud” issues and needed to get laws on the books to “prevent voter fraud” and with only a relatively short time before the election. If any of these cases make to the supreme court before the election it will be interesting to see how they decide. I think that the 2 most radical right judges on the bench. They both attended and extremely conservative convention held by the Koch brothers in California. After that indiscretion they should have been impeached because they demonstrated that they could not interpret the law without bias (corporations are people my friend). Even after the GOP convention I heard no specific plans how Mr. Romney is going to create 12 million jobs, however he did continue to spew the same lies. But I guess that you do not need to give specifics if you are rigging the election. Regards,

Sleep, it was so transparant in Ohio. Early voting was cut out in districts that voted heavily Democrat and extended in districts that voted heavily Republican. If any of you Republicans are real Americans you would fight for everyones’ right to vote. I think the polls should be open 24 hours to accommodate shift workers. As an American I am concerned about voting rights. If I was all for the party (sounds like Communist Russia) I would be cheering supression. However, I am an American.

Any of you parents, out there, remember when your child tried to lie to you. He got that worried look on his face? Think about what the child looked like and compare that to Ryan.

Bodine666

—– . . . remember when your child tried to lie to you . . . —–

So, someone else noticed that too.

It’s not just ryan. Romney’s face looks like a 3-D topographical map when he’s talking. Oh, don’t forget the forced nervous laugh romney has whenever he lies.

Conservatives know these are lies. They don’t care. The vast majority of conservatives are authoritarian followers. They believe what they want to believe or are told to believe. When faced with a fact and a blatant lie they will choose the lie every time if it goes along with what they believe.

Another fact about these conservatives is that they can, and do, hold contradictory beliefs simultaneously and never realize it. Their highly compartmentalized minds are like a database with no index. If anyone watched the Daily Show on Wednesday(?) and saw the segment where Samantha Bee was talking to the cons at the convention it was clear these people live in a bubble. The cons all say they believe in freedom and the right of everyone to make their own decisions, that government should stay out of their lives . . . . blah, blah, blah, same old talking points. Now comes the question on women’s right to choose. They were all for gov’t invading every woman’s bedroom and dictating that women must do what the cons want. These cons looked absolutely ridiculous spouting off their talking points and never realizing they are advocating views that are 180 degrees apart.

What’s sad is the fact that if you attempt to educate these cons with facts they become even more adamant in their beliefs. Their attacks become more vicious, even to the point of physical violence.

Holding onto false idols and beliefs is indeed the mainstay of conservative and authoritarian traditions. Becoming more adament in false beliefs when confronted with facts is the disturbing rational at work here. Maybe it is a left side right side brain activity, but I’ve always been perplexed by my ‘righty’ friends when facts get in the way of intelligent conversation. The response is usually ‘I just know it’ or some such equally vague reply. Reminds me of the NRA argument that the fact that Obama has done nothing about gun control is the very reason that he is certainly going to do so. Makes ones head explode in the insanity.

nit wit mitler and lyin’ ryan, the 2 stooges, the go back team, have just proven that everything a repugnican says is lies. Any body who believes what any body said at the clown convention is a bigger idiot than those two. Lies,lies, lies…what has this country become? The American taliban rethuglicans are making a mockery of this country all over the world. I also wonder why lyin’ ryan isn’t receiving the same flak as akin when he said on WJHL TV that rape was ” a means of conception” referring to his stand on abortion. romney, the plastic fantastic is absolutely embarrassing and sickening: to think we have a fool running for president when he has already been caught at more lies that any other national politician. And you talibangelical, tea baggin repugnicans have just officially picked this fool to be your candidate for president of what used to be the best country in the world. What’s next? nutcase ted nugent for secretary of defense? Repugnican women…shame on you for letting your “lord” husbands tell you what to think and how to vote even when it specifically concerns your body. Shame on you…you are a disgrace to your gender. And condoleezza rice…history has proven you went along with and endorsed all the lies about Iraq with the bush anti-administration…you were one of those lying fools, so I guess that’s why the koch whores dragged you out of academic obscurity because you have already proven how good a liar you are.

To the Tea Party for consideration of itself. 28 June 2010 (Beaureguard)

The fascist rich have enveloped a mind set and a philosophy that has spread through the ranks of the Tea Party producing a state of mind that has overwhelmed their majority. They, the rich and powerful, have produced a phenomenon through psychological streams that has nourished a destructive state of mind that could forever divert our form of government.

The idea of removing government control over regulating the rich fascists that now control every aspect of our daily lives is counter to our common good. De-regulation and privatization of our publicly owned land, natural resources, utilities, mail, communications, inspections of our food supply and our imports has gotten us to the pinnacle of de-regulation today. Leaving all of this to the integrity of our corporations to do the right thing for our country is ludicrous. Now that we see the result of the B.P. oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico, who do we blame? The government control that you never wanted, now you blame. You must always be careful of what you wish.

You, being a conservative, also believe in distributing the wealth as this article will demonstrate. The Reagan administration started the distribution of wealth from the working class to the rebirth of the rich fascist class. That was the new beginning of greed that we hadn’t seen since the 1920’s. Harvard professor Richard Freeman’s studies found that from the Reagan administration in the 1980’s Corporate America turned against unions and collective bargaining as never before. Union activists were fired at ten times the prior rate and the government did nothing. In fact, they helped spread lies and lip service about unions. In the thirty years since Reagan’s re-establishing fascist control of our government the wage gap between the working class ant the wealthy has increased to the largest gap ever.

THE FIRST STEPS OF THE RICH TAKE OVER 1982 (Beau) James Gosney

President Reagan was bad enough as the governor of California. Now he and his administration has started on a quest to end our democracy and re-establish another fascist controlled government. Politicians, bought and paid for came up with a plan. The year 1887, the aristocratic privileged, the fascist rich, decided it would transform itself into a system of power, they would call democratic, as the need for laborer increased. “We’ll be parental in actions and allow the public to rely on our generosity, curb their free spirit and rule through popular sovereignty”, was their plan. Now they established administrative offices for their parental care while in-fact it was a means of control. Persuade the ignorant public to listen to our wants, on their behalf, and repeat consistently until they believe. We must prepare our party members as the tools of government. A lie repeated often enough becomes the truth. We must prepare our party members as the tools of government. So this is the form of government that has prevailed into our Republican Party from 1887, the first depression brought on by ten years of austerity and the greedy rich wanting more. Again in 1920, 1980. We live it again in their attempt to keep us in servitude. As long as we stay docile and acquiescent in political history we will stay in servitude to our masters.

“We have a lot of laid off workers, and more layoffs are occurring,” [Ryan] continued. “And we know, as a historical fact, that even if our economy begins to slowly recover, unemployment is going to linger on and on well after that recovery takes place. What we have been trying to do starting in October and into December and now is to try and get people back to work. The things we’re trying to pass in this bill are the time-tested, proven, bipartisan solutions to get businesses to stop laying off people, to hire people back, and to help those people who have lost their jobs.”

So, this is the home planet for the liberal loons. I love how the article has no problem accusing Ryan of lying, but has a serious problem in providing an example. You liberals are so funny. We just love how facts don’t matter for you morons, its all about emotions.

One fact that cannot be denied is that Liberals are intellectually dishonest, and despite all evidence to the contrary, they cannot see past their ideological ignorance.

Shhh, hear that??? Its the fat lady singing for your boy Nobama….

Fact-Romney was a lously govenor. Fact- he left that state was an 18 billion dollar deficit. Fact- Gov. Patrick is still trying to fix the mess Romnay left. Fact-Ryan is trying to remove any rights a woman has to her own body. Fact- Ryan voted for two wars but did not vote to fund them. Fact-Ryan voted for medicare part D but would not vote to fund it. Fact- Ryan voted for TARP but did not vote to fund it. Fact- Ryan voted for Bush’s auto bailout but not the funding.
Fact- when Romney left the govenors office, he took everything including computer hard drives. What is he hiding? Fact- when Romney “saved” the olympics, he did it with 1.3 billion from the US government. And Oh by the way, he saved the olympics from the mormons.
Fact- the dow has doubled since Obama took office. Fact- over 5 million people are back to work. Fact- that unemployment number is government jobs not private sector jobs. Fact- new home sales just increased again. Was up 2.3% in July.
Fact- new home construction is picking up.
Fact- there would be more if the republicans would pass the infrastructure bill and the jobs act that they have had since June.

to you people live with your head in the sand?

You don’t think unemployment is over 8% for past 3 1/2 years and not going anywhere and Obama has nothing to do with this. Medicare is not in a crisis situation and social security goes on forever with addressing the depletion.

Look at he public union retirement underfunding, there will be reckoning, which I am afraid is coming sooner than later for borrowing monies to pay for something that is not sustainable. As a resident in Illinois with the worse government in the states, it amazes me how everyone is willing to put off addressing the hard facts, let the next guy deal with your own deficiencies, it is the liberal way.

Go ahead and keep blaming reps. The only thing you seem to believe in is that the country and anyone else that works and strives to do better owe you something for your own inadequacies or laziness.

Find out why it was started and compare how many times it has been used in the past compared to the present. and when you are finished, remember the bad economy must be a lie because we are still under the Bush administration tax breaks of 2001. Since he gave those to the “job creators” they created lots of jobs in this country and therefore we have the best economy ever.

Maggie, just to amplify your comment: Bush proved that the GOP’s trickle-down economics is the biggest sham ever perpetrated on the American public: The Bush tax cuts were without question the biggest giveaways to the rich in the history of America…and after those giveaways: The fewest jobs were created during Bush’s two terms than during any other president in the past 100 years except for during the term of Bush Sr. In fact, more jobs were created during the first three years of Obama’s term thand during all 8 years of Bush’s two terms: proving clearly that trickle-down economics is nothing but a bunch of GOP BS!!!!

Karen, I am not a Republican nor a Democrat. I am not even an Independent. Reason: political parties have divided and ruined government. As James Madison said (when he explained why he was against political parties) they will cause divisiion and chaos. And they have. You, are part of the problem. A decent person would have said, “Here is where President Obama lied…” and presented facts. I watched the Republican Convention and listened to person after person telling how poor they used to be. If your great-grandfather was a coal miner, that doesn’t make you poor. Two of these underprivileged people went to a very expensive private school. I haven’t researched the rest.

Come on Karen..let’s see you list at least two lies that Obama has personally made that you can prove…just two. You obviously spend far two much time watching Faux News. Sure, Obama hasn’t been able to keep some of his promises, but that’s because he made them assuming that the Republicans would at least act like true Americans and vote on legislation based on what’s really best for the country and not their future political asperations. It’s pretty touch to keep your promises when the opposing party has come out and said “We’re going to do everything we can to see that you fail!!!” And that’s exactly what the GOP has said and done since day one of Obama’s term.

But I have to tell you, over the past 20+ years, the GOP has become such a big anti-Christian, lying bunch of hipocrates that there’s just no way I can even stand to listen to many of the candidates speak because I quickly aware that virtually everything coming out of their month is a big lie, intended only to hoodwink their constituents and cowtow to their lobbiests. Yes , the Dems do this too, but no where near to the extent that Gingrich, Limbaugh and other right-wing fanatics have goaded the GOP into.

They would rather believe the worst than take a few moments and get educated. She said so clearly ‘whatever the self-declared media and fact-checkers are saying’ is of no importance to her. Even Fox News has said the plant story is twaddle for the ill informed rubes like her. What a sad state we find ourselves when facts don’t matter and the public says out loud that they don’t care. They believe nonsense over reason and reality.

All Obama did was give the reins over to the states. He did nothing to change the work requirment that was enacted under the Clinton Administration .

Obama is an anti-constitution thug; he does not have the authority to change the Medicaid law. What’s so worrisome to me is all the people who are just fine with a dictatorship presidency as long as their guy is on office. Obama is the leader of one of 3 co-equal branches of the federal government – period!

—– Simpleton half wit lefts love the free handouts, as if it were their birth rite (sic) —–

Right. We all know how much the left loves the $113 Billion in handouts to big oil in the form of subsidies. An amount equal to twice the amount spent on social programs. —- No! Wait. That was the repubs that voted to keep the huge subsidies for rich corporations, wasn’t it?

If the farm bill isn’t a welfare program for the right wingers then what is? Paying good, christian, right-wingers to not grow crops. Including bachmann, the righty from MN and her husband’s ‘pray away the gay’ clinic that is defrauding Medicaid out of hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Cons constantly gripe that almost half the taxpayers pay no fed income tax. The fact they live at or below the poverty level means nothing to righties. Here is one that righties should be griping about but never do. A full 47% of people making over $250,000 / year pay NO FED income taxes. So, why don’t you gripe about that?

Here’s another that you don’t gripe about: The vast majority of the ‘handouts’ you are griping about go to the conservative ‘red’ states. It’s the ‘lefty’ blue states that support the right-wing moochers. Where is the griping for that?

If you want to complain about something complain about all of it. Otherwise you appear to be just another right-wing hypocrite, lying by omission, that hates the poor folks.
Bodine666

Typical right-wing rant. No facts. No evidence. No information. Just more name calling.

Teen, I suppose you have never, in your life, did a “save face” lie. Clinton was trying to save his and his seducer’s reputation. Ever since Clinton signed the civil rights bill as governor of Arkansas, they were out to get him. It was one thing after another. There were too many variables in the Lewinski affair to not see that she was sent to seduce him. Clinton’s real problem was that he allowed himself to be seduced and it cost him. Now, the type of lying, I cannot understand and condone is lying about other people. You can’t really be an elephant as elephants have a highly defined society where they care about each other. Clinton signed Medicare into law. Republicans want to dismantle it. So, when your grandmother needs medical care and has no means to get it, you can send her a card, “Happy Birthday, Grandma, now die.”

As usual, no substance, no fact, no lies revealed, all emotional rhetoric and personal attack…so typical. From Carter’s failures (singlehandedly almost losing the Cold War (cancelling weapon system after weapon system and retreating from the Soviet surge – Afghanistan, Ethiopia, Angola, Nicaragua ring a bell?), being humiliated by the piss-ant nation of Iran, and wrecking the economy, turning over truly the worst Recession since the Great Depression), to the many and varied Clinton failures (his abject failure to address the AQ threat – multiple AQ terrorist attacks against Americans worldwide and AQ terrorists in the US training and preparing for 9/11 during the entire last year of his Presidency, his failure to address an Iraq containment effort in shambles, and turning over an economy in RECESSION after the high tech stock market burst on HIS watch…Monica was the LEAST of his failures), to the Obama failures (8.2% unemployment, anemic (basically flat) GDP growth, a trillion dollar stimulus package that didn’t stimulate but did drastically drive-up the deficit while taking good care of Democratic party cronies at Solyndra – until Solyndra went belly-up, stupidly stopping the Canadian pipeline now virtually ensuring China will get the Canadian oil instead, a complete inability to LEAD and build consensus by reaching across the isle, an Afghanistan policy adrift, clueless on Syria, and a totally failed economic recovery plan (if there ever was one) – it’s the economy stupid, it’s not about class warfare). Once again, the Republicans will be called in to clean up the mess created by a Democratic President. The big difference you’ll notice over the next four years is that a Republican President won’t incessantly blame his Democratic predecessor for all his problems, whining about the hand he was dealt, he will deal with it. Can’t wait to hear Clinton’s speech at the DNC. I’m sure he’ll bring down the house! If I were a Democrat, I would be embarrassed.

The economy started its downfall with Clinton in office. The deregulation of banks and opening free trade with China, outsourcing our jobs ect.

Quit spending, let the job creators create jobs and stop the government regulations put on drilling companies, agriculture, auto industry ect. Also, quit listening to the media, they don’t tell the truth! if your really want to know, look on each candidates website and find out what their platform really is.

It seems that our politics since 2010 have come down to tell lies and when you get into office do a turnaround and do the opposite. Lie #1 we are for jobs, jobs, jobs. Truth- we are against women bettering themselves, we are against Jobs, Jobs, Jobs. Truth -our goal is to make this POTUS a one term president. Truth- the h— with the people as we have proven that they will believe anything we tell them, rather than look around and see and think for themselves. We can take away schools and make them believe that this is the right way to go, we can make them puppets so anything that we see will be seen as the truth,. You have to work in order to receive welfare but we’ll say that they will receive a check form the GOV. and not have to work, they will believe us because they have no will to think. THAT,SADLY IS HOW I VIEW POLITICS TODAY ESPECIALLY THROUGH REPUBLICAN EYES. VOTE OBAMA, at least He has been honest even though the Republicans have not given him a fair chance!

Yep — exactly. The truth is whatever you say it is because that’s what you “feel” the truth is. You’d never actually do any research to find out the real answers. It’s so much EASIER to demonize those who don’t agree with you. There is a “war on women” because you SAY there is, not because of any actual facts or incidents that you can assess. Obviously Obama is God’s gift to the American people — because you LIKE him so much. And anyone who disagrees with you is probably a Nazi or a pederast or something. And everything that is wrong with America, the world, and probably all space and time is so totally OBVIOUSLY George Bush’s fault! Great, glad we solved the world’s problems. See? We can handle anything as long as someone else is to blame — yes we can! Sheeple come in all forms and clothing styles….

The biggest lie I remember from presidential campaigns was four years ago when our president-to-be’s explanation for every one of our country’s problems was eight years of failed Bush administration policies. The truth is our country’s problems are the result of decades of malfeasance, incompetence, pandering to special interests, insider trading, and a lot of what ordinary people would be locked up for by Presidents, Houses, and Senates of both parties. Checking facts makes the only debate which side is the bigger liar, and now we have “independent” super-PAKs on both sides making underhanded attacks that their beneficiaries can technically disavow.

We have serious problems created by both sides in cahoots and that both sides have made worse by doing nothing but blaming the other, and things will continue getting worse until our elected officials start addressing problems instead of pandering to lobbyists and PAKs and bashing the other side.
