The fact checkers are hard at work

"See? Both numbers have a four in them."

Did I tell you about my marathon?

This past Sunday a woman panelist on Meet The Press claimed, during a discussion on how Romney would create 12 million new jobs in his first 4 years, that Romney would approve the Keystone XL pipeline and that alone would create a million new jobs. Most experts say is would probably create not more than 5,000 jobs and most of those would disappear after 2 years.

It's funny. I've never thought he had a big nose. Definitely a strong angular nose. But now that so much attention is focused on his blatant lying and Pinochio references, every picture my eyes focus straight on his nose, and his regular nose appears HUGE! At first I thought it was Photoshoped.

Glad you're with us, and we sure do need you!

We've got an election to win, and liars to defeat!




Now get to work.

when everyone, even the right, is calling them out on them? Oh yeah, lacking the integrity gene.

Deep piles of bullshit is more like it.

deep blue eyes.

Both figures have a 4 in them!!!



This man has NO conscience - or brains- or BOTh

Which is 1.423 million (fairly close) in base 10

Instead of 47 something,...I'll give ya an even 50 cents.

You give me 140 bucks in return.

Then I'll listen to you tell me about how brilliant you are with numbers.

Deal?

One is for someone to ask the question "If Romney/Ryan thinks Obama's record is so bad, why do they need to lie about it?"

The second is for Biden to call Ryan a liar to his face in the VP debate when it's deserved.

"In 2011, 9,772 businesses filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, and nearly 1.4 million consumers filed for personal bankruptcy."

Well, according to the Supreme Court, corporations (and businesses) are people, so I guess maybe people are businesses or some-such.

================================================================
"Ryan also got it wrong with regard to the number of business bankruptcies last year. In 2011, there were 1,410,653 total bankruptcies. Of that number 47,806 were business bankruptcies and 1,362,847 were non-business bankruptcies."

A lot of other false Ryan statements at the above link.

a picture with a quote isn't enough.

Both business and non-business bankruptcy filings were down from the previous year, but I guess Ryan forgot to mention that.

...as the economy improves.

I mean his marathon memory was off by about 26%. About the same difference.

Its not his fault all the rest of us live in an inferior version of reality!

re the One Million Moms on FB against her as spokesperson for J.C. Penny: "Not that anyone is counting, but they only have 40,000 members on their page. So they're rounding up to the nearest million - and I get that."

Hey, who doesn't do that?

mental health help. I assume that it's covered as an option in HIS health care plan!

This continuous lying could make him even nuttier than he already is...maybe that is what THIRTEEN YEARS in Congress will do to ya!

That is a huge lie, distoting information and used to discredit the Obama administrtion.

TAXES and OBAMA and blah blah blah

Of course, the real reason is that the middle class has no money
to spend. Most of their spending/purchasing is done with credit cards.
We can't sustain a consumption-based, service-based economy
on massive debt, or it will collapse.

Obama has passed many bills that lowered taxes on small business.

Republicans have obstructed any bills which would have put more
money into the hands of the middle class, while clinging to their
trickle-down delusions.

Small business bankruptcies are common and expected; a good
number of small businesses will fail.
47,806 is still a large number, although trending downward -- but
PERSONAL bankruptcies, which have exploded because of the "legislation"
(written by lobbyists) that benefits banks and screws the consumer,
the huge amount of debt that the middle class has been forced to live on,
and the cost of health care, account for that remaining million plus.

Keep on spinnin' and lyin' all you want, Pauly, but you will find the
true cause of this problem in your own mirror.

I was raised in a Jewish home...& even I know a dutiful Catholic goes to confession for lying. What I don't know is how often should one go when each day comes more & more blatant lies. And they are enabled by other repukes when asked to comment on Lyin' Ryan's speech Wed. night, Mayor Rudy "9-11" Giuliani says "well look, when people give speeches not every fact is always absolutely accurate“.


Perhaps they have a priest onboard the Ryan campaign plane to make sure he doesn't amass press photos of him exiting churches in swing states for the next 8 weeks. He also needs tutors-"staffers" in math, biology, & ethics.(regardless of the Rmoney-Lyan campaign guy stating that they won't let fact checkers get in the way of the campaign. Personally, I hope they just keep on,keepin' on. They all (repuke surrogates & candidates) remind me of that old tired yet apropos joke...How can you tell if Ryan is lyin'? His lips are movin'!

in the press and in Washington. It shouldn’t survive tonight’s speech (at the republican convention).

according to them 45% of ryans statements are mostly false or worse
mittens doesn fare much better at 42%
http://www.politifact.com/personalities/paul-ryan/
http://www.politifact.com/personalities/mitt-romney/
by comparison Obama gets a 27%
http://www.politifact.com/personalities/barack-obama/

he is probably counting every single bankrupcy filed in the nation. Not nice to mislead the constituency....again.

I honestly believe that they think their own team is so stupid, they can treat them like inane lap dogs. I wonder, the rank and file Republicans, do they like being treated this way?

...so how come those nerdy fact-checkers always seem to be able to catch him?
