FANTASTIC MADDOW CLIP FROM LAST NIGHT

WHY ARE POLITICOS SO AFRAID TO USE THE WORD LIE?

Yesterday, Colon Powell said that Dick Cheney's statement that the US is less safe because of Obama's policies was "not borne out by the facts." That means it's a lie.

Even lefties Rachel Maddow and Barney Frank call republicans out for voting against the stimulus while bashing it on national tv, but accepting the stimulus $ and then taking credit for the jobs it creates in their districts. Rachel and Barney call this "hypocrisy" and "intellectual dishonesty." I think it would resonate a lot more with the people in this country if someone were jumping up and down and screaming that republicans are stinking liars and that these easily documented lies call into question EVERYTHING THEY STAND FOR. THE BASTARDS JUST WANT OBAMA TO FAIL--EVEN AT THE EXPENSE OF OUR JOBS AND HEALTH CARE REFORM.

I realize that people are frustrated enough to fly a plane into an IRS building to prove their point--and they are frustrated with both parties. Deservedly so, since Mary Landrieu and other corrupt democrats sold their vote on health care in such plain view that it was sickening. I share the frustration. But people, don't have such a short attention span that you slam democrats and want to vote them out of office because the mess the worst president in our history made is taking time to clean up. We're unhappy because there's a recession so we forget to give Obama credit for preventing A DEPRESSION which would have been far worse. A minute ago democrats were the answer to the corrupt, corporate republicans who killed us during two terms of Bush. The democrats have their problems but only an idiot would have so little understanding of the way things work that they'd be ready to try republican again. Republican policies don't even make a lick of sense and they even contradict themselves. Or rather, LIE.

As Rachel puts it in this fantastic clip: "How do you negotiate with someone who thinks the sky is both blue and green about sky color?"

YOU CAN'T! BECAUSE REPUBLICANS POSITIONS ON THE ISSUES MAKE NO KINDA SENSE! SO YOU HOLD THEIR LYING FEET TO THE FIRE AND DENOUNCE THEM AND THE FEW REMAINING MORONS WHO SUPPORT THEM!
