Soon, he said, is it is going to be as tough finding people admitting some role in the law's creation as it is to "find people who admitted voting for Richard Nixon."

Or Landrieu.

She can’t even get the quote correct.

What Mark Twain actually said was, “A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on it’s pants.”

Even if her constituents are dumb enough to believe her, she should still be “fired from her job”.

Because she’s not smart enough to discern the lies. Let some one else do a better job.

Most people will realize that she must be referring to all the lies of the Obama Admin, including her own. But only the informed electorate will get that part of it.

So, this twit wants to play Mark Twain, eh? Well, try this one, honey.

"Suppose that you were a member of Congress. Then, suppose that you were an idiot...but I repeat myself."

Ive started playing the Satire Game. I read an article, particularly one involving liberals, without looking at the source of the article. I then guess if its Real or Satire. It’s darned hard to tell the difference when it involved these wacko lefties.

I want to hear her response to the question, “If Sen. Gillibrand knew that millions were going to lose their plans, why didn’t you?”

Gillibrand said “we all knew”.

I don’t know if Dems are waiting for propaganda to finally kick in or are really delusional.

Here’s the lowdown, Dems. Your fake information didn’t take hold fast enough. I know you’re getting ready to blanket the airways with your phony info but I pray that won’t work either. I pray we’re smart enough to see through it.
