"Zombie lies"...

Bill Maher defined them as lies told by Republicans that once they are proven false, the Republicans bring them back to life.

For example, Repubs said Obamacare would cause "death panels".....zombie lie. They said it was a job killer and that it covered "illegals"....zombie lie.

They said that if you cut taxes it would "trickle down" to everyone else....zombie lie.

They said there was a problem with "voter fraud" and that fracking did not cause earthquakes....zombie lies.

In the face of all evidence, they continue to bring these lies back to life. They never die. They are like zombies.

1. The best observation is how the lie is used up, buried and reanimated when even more stupider

zombies than the last ones take up the lie, and it continues in a cycle until the most stupid of the stupid are in possession of the lie.

2. But eventually, zombies become so messed up, they can no longer function.

That's what's happening to the zombie GOP today. Maybe the best we could ever do was outlast them. We're doing that.
