Because they are a couple of un-American right wing bastards who want to buy the country, that's why.

4. And why do so many people only hear and believe the lies.

Mar 2014

I heard on the radio that conservatives and liberals frequent completely different sources of information.
Not surprising except that information like this is only passed around on liberal sites. Most conservatives never even hear it and the lies continue to proliferate.

And the lies are what stay locked into the public mind.
Somehow liberals need to get info out into the real world where people can't miss it.
The conservatives have a multitude of public outlets while liberals can only preach to the choir.

We have to start hundreds of emails with the information we see here....because from what I see of the conservative I know, that is the source of their information. Hundreds of emails.

Where do repugs get the time to send out all this sh$% ? I barely have time to do anything after working 10 hours days. Maybe repugs don't work - lazy a-holes.

Or several peoples' jobs. And it isn't really hard for them....most of the emails that I see are high in fear tactics and low on facts. They just have to make things up. Then send them out to their most faithful, who will continue the chain.

Also the famous quote from Adlai Stevenson re the thugs:

“If the Republicans will stop telling lies about the Democrats, we will stop telling the truth about them.”

Soros only pays for well-documented stuff. Liberals are funny that way.


What misinformation about Republicans could possibly be more devastating that the truth?

Guess we could add heartless and souless, as well....gosh, there are just so many!

Nothing bad enough could happen to them, IMHO.

I think of Mr. Potter (the Koch Bros.) and George Bailey (take your pick... Nancy Pelosi, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, etc.) and what always gets me is how the brainwashed FOX audience will stand up and cheer when Potter gets his comeuppance, but in RL they'll cheer on the Potters of the world and denigrate the George Baileys. The epitome of brain dead stupidity.

Answer: Sociopaths make a habit of lying. They lie when there is no reason to lie. They live a lie.
And this is what sociopaths with money do. They lie on a grand scale.

They stole a ton of money for years from rightful owners here in Oklahoma and Kansas through mis reporting the amount of oil they were pumping.
They should be in jail as I type this, making little bitty rocks our of great big rocks using a sledge hammer to do it with.
