Liar Liar, Pants on Fire: 4 Anti-Choice Politicians Caught in a Lie
By Rebecca

These 4 anti-choice politicians have been lying about where they really stand on women's equality and reproductive freedom to try to win votes. They know that if they tell voters the truth about their extreme beliefs, they'll never get elected....

(The four men discussed in the article are Scott Brown, Cory Gardner, Mike Coffman and Scott Walker. The Denver Post actually endorsed Cory Gardner for Senator from Colorado.)

1. These guys should read Katha Pollitt's new book ...

about reclaiming abortion rights.

The Founding Fathers were PRO-CHOICE!

2. Sounds really interesting.

Could you tell us a bit more about that book?

4. I posted a thread about a week ago ...

mentioning the author's appearance on the Diane Rehm show and including a link to the transcript http://thedianerehmshow.org/shows/2014-10-08/katha-pollitt-pro-reclaiming-abortion-rights/transcript

I was kind of surprised at the lack of interest here at DU, but I guess a thread can get buried by factors such as time of day posted.

6. Sorry... totally missed it.

Sometimes threads scroll by so fast they're gone before I even have a chance to take a look.

10. I saw it and appreciated it. I just posted a thread on an Elle piece that includes her.

3. The majority of politicians LIE !!!

Republicans more than the Democratic politicians.

In my experience as a political junkie, if a Republican's lips are moving they are lying.

In my experience as a political junkie, those who support Republicans do not care if they lie, or care if they are career criminals.

They are not swayed by facts or data.

They continue to elect frauds, shysters, adulterers, and criminals.

People who watch Fox 'news' or main stream media would not recognize the truth if it was staring them in the face.

Republicans tout family values and God to get elected.

They don't believe in, or practice either.

They believe in a Corporate Theocracy.

I don't know what the Democratic Party stands for.

They have moved so far to the right they are unrecognizable.

P.S. (Off Topic) If there are not fact checkers at political debates, the debates are useless.

5. The Denver Post actually

endorsed Gardner for Senator - against Udall!!!! We are sooo pissed. A petition has even been sent w/ over 7000 signatures to the paper. That's a lot for Colorado. They'll never publish anything about it, but at least we feel better. I also wrote them a letter which they haven't published, but they have chosen a few who disagreed.

7. Has there been any response to your petition?

7,000 sigs is a respectable number!

Thanks for the correction, btw. I've edited my OP.

8. None whatsoever - figures.

Re-read my post and I didn't mean to yell at you - I was yelling at the Post. Sorry if it seemed like I was scolding you.

Think the Post did this to appear even-handed since they've endorsed the Dems for other seats. Despicable.

9. You have no reason to be sorry

I appreciated the correction.
