Tired of the lies.

They say that a lie can travel half-way around the world while the truth is putting its shoe on.

If you tell the truth, it is in your past, but if you tell a lie, it is in your future.

The Republican right-wingers have told so many lies that they are no longer able to distinguish between fact and fiction. They have repeated them so many times that they believe them.

It has become totally tiresome. Do as I say not as I do, seems to be a common practice amongst these prolific storytellers.

Anymore, if I see a Republican on television and his lips are moving, I automatically assume he/she is lying. It's enough to gag a maggot.

I've made that presumption for decades. I can't recall one time I've been shown to be wrong.

3. There should be a buzzer that goes off and a red light flashing on their podiums each time they lie

during the debates.
Otherwise, they will never be called out on their lies. They all enable each other like telling "war stories" about high school around the campfire.

when a hard core partisan on the other side sees a Democrat on TV... he or she makes the exact same assumption. We all pay because nothing gets done.

i wonder if any of their base ever reflect on the damage that can do to a country. Prbably not, because they believe the candidates hate the same vaporous notions that they do. Like Obama ruined the country. Like all immigrants are evil criminals. They love all that hate stuff.
