Reply #34: They were thinking they could fool all of the people all of the time

[Jack Rabbit]

How long did it take the Iraqi people to figure out what they wanted to liberate was not Iraqis but oil?

Of course, they caught on faster than most Americans did.

At least they thought they could keep us all fooled untiled their was a Diebold machine in every voting booth, a Republican donor overseeing every news outlet and a partisan hack in every US Attorney's office.

To blatantly lie to the American people about anything is bad enough. But when you lie to them about things they are undoubtedly going to find out you’ve been lying about, they get really pissed-off. They tend to think you’ve been treating them like dumbasses who are too stupid to catch on. That leads to people getting riled, getting mouthy, getting fired-up enough to go to the polls and teach the liars a lesson they won’t soon forget.

You should add, Nance, that they blatantly lied about a matter that took the lives or crippled the sons and daughters of the people who once supported them. And many of them knew it was a lie, yet they are still telling it.
