6. Other: George Bush is running for reelection.

Now can somebody be reelected to an office he stole?

7. The the Republican Party is "Big Tent"
Aligned with this theme: Compassionate Conservatism and Uniter not Divider.

All big lies tied to a common theme.

8. The biggest lie the Right ever told (and told and told and told) was
Edited on Wed Jul-28-04 04:14 PM by Walt Starr
that there is a "liberal media".

All other lies told by the Right would never have made any ground had they not hammered that home every time they failed.

11. Their biggest lie is that they are in the majority.

Considering that all evidence ever collected says exactly the opposite, considering that Democrats always do better with better turnout, I think that is their biggest lie.

12. Their policies are aimed at helping most Americans.
They are clearly aimed at helping only a very select few.

All the others are true, too. The one about vouchers equaling "school choice" is another biggie...

13. Liberals are out of the mainstream
OK so it doesn't seem as bad as the rest, but I think it LED to the rest.

They've got believing that being liberal is just out of the mainstream.

Try going to www.politicalcompass.org and see how you rate. We're all probably down in the left corner. Social and Economic liberals. Well I gave that test to as many people as I could and confirmed the results. Even my relatives and friends who consider themselves republicans and conservatives tended to be more liberal than JOHN KERRY! It shocked some of them. Sure they weren't far left, but the most conservative people I polled. The Fox News watching, Bill O'Reilly loving, brainwashed ones....scored at worst in the positive 1 range. Center of the grade. Meanwhile even kerry is more conservative than that as far as votes and policy.

This country is Centrist and Moderate Socially and Economically, but leans to the Liberal sides of things. If you ask people where they fall on that map they put themselves far more conservative than if they answer the questions. Even many of the liberal identifying ones do this.

This makes it easier for them to do whatever they want, which the majority of people would disagree with, and probably do, and the rest just believe it because if it's not liberal it must be right.

14. Bush WON in 2001
There have been a lot of other whoppers before and after but that is the one that has cost thousands of lives and billions of dollars so I gotta figure it's the real whopper of all time.

18. Biggest Lie-that they're protecting this country. Cheney and Rumsfeld
are the ones who sold Pakistan, Libya, North Korea, Syrria, and Iran
dual use nuclear components.

check Plame thread #13 - we found the goods on them.

19. Other - The war promotes democracy
and human rights.
That lie will cost America dearly.

Almost as bad: The war in Iraq has made America safer.

20. It's difficult to say which lie is the greatest. Can anyone recall if
there are any Republicans who have ever told the truth?

If so what was it?

22. No question about it - all of the above. It is all one "Big Lie."
The Big Lie of the GOP is that they are humanists; we now know, in general, that they are not. "GOP" is a dirty word (acronym) in the English lexicon.

27. "Ronald Reagan Won The Cold War!!"
Repukes would have you believe that one simple minded old man, who actually believed he fought in World War II, because he once made a movie about it, single handedly took on the entire "evil empire" and brought them to a crushing defeat.

34. that they were going to restore honor and dignity
That they are the moral party. Look at them. They look like a crime family. Sometimes I think Tony Soprano is in the White House.

35. Each and everyone,
each and everyday, lie to themselves. Because no one can be so stupid as to believe anything their puke leaders tell them. They know they are taking this country down and believe in the name of God things will get better.
