The lies do work on some people. Last week there was a news item about the owner of an ice cream parlor who turned down a visit by the vice president ostensibly because of the "You didn't build that" line.

And thereby missed an opportunity to discuss his outrage with the VP and become a hero to the GOP? I think the likelihood is that the parlor owner is a republican who just didn't want to assist democrats and repeated a party line.
FNN (Faux Noise Nonsense) or CNN (Conservative Note Nattering)? But I don't have the impression that CNN is helping to spread this particular lie.

We though when they denied the cardinals' blessing that it was some seperation of church and state thing, turns out its cause they are supporting the POTUS' religion instead. Today's Washington Times reports that Cardinal Dolan is giving the benediction at the DNC. Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also in prison.

They must have finally responded after all the bad press they were recieving. Or the DNC never turned down the Cardinal Dolan to begin with. The Posts says that Obama "turned down a chance" when the reality is that the only thing to report was that Dolan had offered and had not yet gotten an answer back.Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also in prison.

gnored him, blew him off, snubbed him, denied him, turned him down....really what is the difference? oh yeah you just post here on semantics, my bad. None of those things happened. Cardinal Dolan offered to do the benediction and his offer has been accepted. The difference between what actually happened and a snub/denial is the added spin. If the answer wasn't no, then it was not a denial. If the cardinal was not offended, or the delay was not unreasonable then it wasn't a snub. For you, there may be no difference.Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also in prison.

The irony is strong in this one.

Perhaps these numbers will provide some perspective.

Of course, there is no reason I can see why this lie should get more attention The marathon time 'embellishment' gets special attention because the lie is indefensible, needless, and stupid. Incidentally, most people don't try to pass off bogus fish stories as fact, and essentially nobody lies about their marathon times.Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also in prison.

Can't really blame him for doing this.
It turns out that you cannot actually get elected to a national office if you stick to the Republican platform. If your actually try to run on being against abortion to the point where you are willing to kill the mom, label a college education as being for elitists only despite having one yourself, and trashing half or more of the population economically, and you think clean water/air and arctic ice are luxuries for liberals, then you lose. Unfortunately Republicans must appeal to the to the wing-nuts, coal miners, and fundies to get nominated. And of course the Romney is great at making course adjustments. That's what makes him electable. If elected, Romney will have very little say in what replaces the AFA. His party hates his ideas re health care.

Apparently the word 'pre-existing' wasn't taught in the third-grade class Romney dropped out of in order to have more time to devote to his campaigning. If you change jobs you may be faced with having to get insurance again and finding that what was covered by your old insurer is indeed a pre-existing condition as far as your new insurer is concerned.

Only if you can find a job that offers health care. Health insurance need not come from an employee plan. But the idea is that a break in employment, which is the situation that Romney was talking about, can bring up the issue of pre-existing conditions.Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also in prison.
