Why Is It That Republicans Lie So Often?

[SwimExpert]

Carson and Cruz are probably the biggest liars but Rubio and Fiorina are also serial liars. Before that we had Mitt Romney and that nasty little weasel Paul Ryan were the biggest liars in history.

^^^^^ Retard knows literally nothing about the Democrat party.

 

[edthecynic]

Politicians on both sides lie.

Whenever the Right says "both sides do it" they can't deny that they do it.

 

[edthecynic]

The only thing Democrats do is lie, screw everything up, raise taxes, and spend. They are never the solution to a problem. They are always the cause.

Liar!

The Flawed, Statistically Silly New Study That Calls the Republican Party More Dishonest

That just criticises on survey.. It does nothing to say that Hillary tells the truth more often than the Leading GOP candidates...

That doesn't mean Hillary tells the truth all th time but her record is far better than the leading GOP candidates...

Nobody is perfect but Hillary is far more honest that the leading GOP Candidates and if it wasn't for Carson, Trump would be the biggest liar by a wide margin... Trump 7% of his statements true or mostly true, Hillary has 50%...

And what was Trump's only true statement:
DONALD TRUMP
Says American polling shows Russian President Vladimir Putin has "an 80 percent approval rating."

Which maybe true but would ye but well... Saddam won his elections with 99% of the vote...

And he doesn't have one statement true or mostly true, criticizing Democrats...

If you are calling Carson a liar your a racist.

To liberals like the OP Dr. Carson is a racist because Dr. Carson is conservative. To liberals like the OP NOT calling Dr. Carson racist is racist. Not calling Dr. Carson a liar is racist. To liberal like the OP any black person with conservative leanings and especially those uppity escapees from the Democrat plantation with a "Dr." preceding their names is racist.

To paraphrase an old adage: The last resort of a dirty piece of crap of a sub-human is calling everybody else a racist.

Republicans seem to have a tough time telling the truth but why to they lie so often?

The simplest one was "Republicans lie because the truth doesn't work".

They can't win by simply stating their beliefs and having everyone vote anymore. This is the reason Republicans in state legislatures have been working overtime to pass laws to make it harder to vote for minorities.

Hillary anyone? Anyone at all? It's comical to ask why anyone lies with the Hildabeast as a candidate

I really don't care Because ALL politicians lie. It's the only thing any one of them is good at

To say that any politician is a worse liar than another is a distinction without a difference you know like being sincerely dead as compared to merely dead

Fact-checking the 2016 Democratic presidential candidates

PolitiFact | Fact-checking the 2016 Democratic presidential candidates

It would be kind of interesting to see who founded fact check and also see who makes up it membership. I've noticed over a lifetime than whenever liberals infiltrate an organization that organization becomes extemely political and extremely bias. The weather channel is a good example. When MSNBC bought it it started running shows about global warming. Before that it didn't.

 

[SuperDemocrat]

I must admit it is pretty embarassing when your favorite politician gets caught in a lie. Most of the time they are minor lies that we can chalk up to bad information but when Obama lies about not emailing hillary and then we find out he did 18times then the left wants to ignore that. The sad thing is is that the left is often so self-rightious about their own selves that to the average person they come off as 'sinless' when they accuse others of doing the same thing. When non-lefties get caught lying they are kind of embarrassed about it but people like Hillary are not.

Is this a competition? You're an asshole. Oops...that's not a lie. I'll try again later.

 

[SuperDemocrat]

The only thing Democrats do is lie, screw everything up, raise taxes, and spend. They are never the solution to a problem. They are always the cause.

Liar!

It is actually true. Both sides have politicians who have been caught in a lie. Lets work from that mr self-rightious.

 

[SuperDemocrat]

The left actually has a tactic that allows them not to lie. They simply stop talking about it. I've notice that whenever a news story is brewing and that story could be damaging to a democrat then that story seems to mysteriously die down. In 2008 Obama's healthcare plan wasn't talked about for about six months before the election. ISIS is now deemed not a credible threat. The economy hasn't ever been mentioned while Obama has been in office. Bengazi....silence. Do you guys see a pattern here? They don't have to lie. They just stop talking about it.

Lets face it, Democrats kick our ass in this area...

Most big fat whopper lies told? Democrats Winner!

Shear volume of lies told? Democrats Winner!

Party with the most liars? Democrats Winner!

Party most likely to lie while accusing others of lying? Democrats Winner!

Notice how the Right lies! The claim was the "ONLY" thing Dems do is lie, and the liar answers that is true because because both sides have politicians who have been caught in a lie. So all it takes is ONE Dem being caught in a lie for Dems to "ONLY" lie, but no matter how many times the Right is caught lying it is not the ONLY thing they do.

Why do democrats need a huge, unaccountable, and bankrupt government to think and do everything for them?
