Rosen: Liars lying about lies (liberal media, democrats in Congress, liberals and leftists)

The Democrat leadership may know they are lying but the rank and file Democrats believe it as fact.

Their leaders and policy makers believe the end justifies the means, so to them they are not lying but interpreting what they believe will help their followers. We ARE talking about a whole political party that has not figured out the meaning of what the word "is" is. We are talking about political party senators who would not even look at the evidence that was used to imprach their leader. And, we are looking at a political party that has never accepted the fact of President Bush winning in 2000.

I agree..They are Dems first, Americans second.

IMO, it is because the minute our side fights back hard, the legacy media and the progressive blogs begin hammering that we are against free speech, that they never said whatever, that Republicans who lie are now lying again, etc, etc, etc.

The "Bush Lied" meme was orchestrated and has succeeded in driving down the numbers on his strongest point: his credibility. even when the (rigged) polls show that the majority believe we need to stay the course and that the world is better off because of our actions in Iraq, those same respondents say the POTUS is dishonest. I believe the POTUS' approval numbers took a hit from conservatives during the Miers fiasco, but I doubt it would have gone below 48% in an honest poll.

Unfortunately, responding to donk attacks ends up as a pissing contest with a skunk. I give the administration credit for coming out strong, regardless of the certain knowledge that the media is going to spin it, as witness the "Bush In A Bubble" headline or the distortion of Cheney's characterization of content as personal attacks.

The past couple of days, I have noticed our side constantly saying they respect Murtha as a former Marine and as a person, but that "He is wrong."

But, then, I only watch FNC and can't always get to the mute button when the donks are spouting. Luckily, my blood pressure isn't high to begin with.

The same milquetoasting allowed Kerry to skate through the entire Presidential election without releasing his service record. It's not working!

The President is an honorable man, and the left committed outright theft of his decency and veteran status.

So Clinton's lies are not as bad by comparison.

No Clintoon lies are not nearly as bad as the "Party of Corruption" when they are in power. Clintoon lies were just about selling our countries most treasured secrets to the Communist Chinese so they could compete with the US on missile and nuke launcher capability. Or about lying on why all the 900+ FBI files showed up in his WH bedroom - those are virtuous lies because they were for keeping the pubbies (and his own party) players on a very tight leash.

You believe this and I believe this. But, that has no meaning if there is no prosecution or consequences for these actions.

2000, 2002, and 2004 were consequences. 2006 and 2008 will be too. Clinton set the path for all this.
