"Lies, lies, lies, lies, nothing but lies, lies, lies, that is all they got" [View all]

My benefits practice has a large percentage of border securtiy law enforcement clients.

I ask them how things have been for their 401k, most of them are quiet types, not that into politics. I show them how their 401ks go up under Democrats and crash under Republicans. All are surprised. Most murmur something like "I thought so", a few are die hard Republicans who stare at the numbers speechless. Most are Hispanics who I can tell identify with Democrats.

This afternoon a senior guy close to retirement asks me to come over. I have to help him with a few forms. I mention that today the Affordable Health Care Act is expanding today to include more prevention coverage for women.

There are 5 law enforcement people in this guys family, brothers, and nephews.

"Lies, lies, lies, lies, nothing but lies, lies, lies, that is all they got.

Given the demographics and the strong law enforcement background I thought I touched on a Rush Limbaugh fanatic.

Gave him a second and then he was off,

"Romney lied from day one and he has lied every day since. It is all they got. My brothers are Republicans and we get together and everyone is pissed. Everyone knows that the health care industry was collapsing and it was either going to be socialized health care or this plan that they did in Mass. All of our nephews and nieces are still on our plans and now everybody is going to be able to get it."

"All they have against Obama is their lies and if this country lets them get away with it, it will sink like lead in water."

These are people that are conservative Catholics, law and order folks who fit the Republican demographics very well. I was astonished at their anger.

As Lincoln said

"You can fool some of the people all of the time, and you can fool all of the people some of the time,

but

You can't fool all of the people all off the time".

Some of the people are getting really really angry about Romney and his machine of lies.
