The Reason That I Know Things Aren't As Bad As The Republicans Portray Them To Be Is Very Simple, They Are Constantly Forced To Tell Lies.

When anyone or any organization has to resort to lies to distort the truth about someone else or their organization, it becomes apparent that they cant win or succeed without those lies being accepted or believed.

The Republicans at the city, county, state and federal levels have all resorted to lying on the Democrats in general and President Obama in particular in order to confuse the American people as to who they should blame for the economic collapse of our economy in 2007 and the recession inherited by President Obama.

Fed up with Republicans

There is not a single day that goes by, that the lies of the Republican Party against the President or the Democratic Party are not being exposed to be merely wishful thinking or talking points.

Fed Up

Whenever I start to forget you reinforce the meaning of generalizations, over-simplification, over-reaching, stereotyping, baseless assertions (can you provide some examples of lies told at the county level here in Ohio) and ideological blindness.

You are, if nothing else, consistent in your message.

Obama is killing the dollar and printing money like crazy.
The media loves Obama.
the recovery isnt happening and UE numbers are all lies.

Yeah it is kinda amazing that all the right seem to be able to find to attack Obama on are lies.

Ok they had that pathetic crap with the solar company and the pathetic crap about how he flipped on PACs. IT's pretty bad. If that is the worst they can find on the man, he must be one of the best and most honest presidents we have ever had.

Obama is first president with czars.

Strawman argument, the argument is he has more czars than any president, which is true.

Obama raised your taxes.

Yes, Taxes have been raised under Obama. You do know the only tax is not payroll or income, correct? You honestly can't be this daft. List here: http://www.atr.org/files/files/020711pr_Obama_I_DIDNT_Raise_Taxes_Once%281%29.pdf

Obama is about to ban guns.

Democrat stawman. He was on record as saying he wished to expand gun control that Chicago/DC enjoyed. He changed his tune when it was politically expedient.

Obama is going to ban fishing. LOLWUT? I haven't heard this strawman before.
Obama is going to ban farming. EPA rules were not making a distinction on dust pollution in regards to farms. The EPA has since made the explicit exemption. This is how politics works.

Obama never tried to close Guantanamo.

He didn't, he sought to move it. There is a difference. Closing would mean the release/trial of detainees. Moving them is simply a talking point. He has also increased the number of prisoners contained in prisons in Afghanistan to avoid the Guantanamo talking point. Renditions are also up. SO instead of looking at a simply talking point, why not look at the whole picture?

Obama added more to our debt than every other president combined.

Nobody has ever said this, but 4 Trillion has been added under his watch.

Obama put more people on food stamps than bush.

Since Jan 09 14 million people have been added to the rolls. 10 million were added under Bush (Democrats like to use year end of 09 numbers to count towards Bush, they also include SCHIP to increase the numbers) Link: http://www.trivisonno.com/food-stamps-charts

Obama and the dems are just as partisan as the GOP are right now.

This is an objective measure, it can not be qualified. There is no right/wrong, it's only opinion. You do know what a lie is, correct?

Obama is killing the dollar and printing money like crazy.

Do I really need to link to Quantitative Easing efforts by the Fed

The media loves Obama.

Again it's opinion related, but some stories for you:

Whole slew of reports: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_bias

      The Reason That I Know Things Aren't As Bad As The Republicans Portray Them To Be Is Very Simple, They Are Constantly Forced To Tell Lies.

      AND, you hear them selling more abortion laws, forced ultrasound laws, anti-Sharia laws, school prayer laws, anti-Planned Parenthood laws - but NO jobs bills!

      Now suddenly the GOP, who said they wanted to run on the economy and JOBS in 2012 - doesn't want to talk about the economy or JOBS at all...because it's doing much better than they thought it would be and the only response they have is "we could do better", except "better" is nothing but a return to the failed policies they used when Bush was in office!

      The more you hear about GOD from the tea party - the better the economy is doing!

      And you provided examples of a couple of elected officials out of many many Republicans

      There are similar stories of Democrats you know Weiner, Wu, Clinton, Kennedy

          Why should Liberals worry their lil pointed heads over right-wing "lies"?

          They love to point out that their ilk is the most educated and above such nonsense, while at the same time they tell you that their numbers far outstrip those of the evil, gullible, racist, and uneducated right.

          So if they have the majority, then the "lies" wont matter - they have the numbers to re-elect Obama regardless, and it shouldnt matter.

          But...what if....just what if....they are wrong....(again).
