Sometimes Satire just hits an issue right on the head. Romney Proudly Explains How He's Turned Campaign Around 'I'm Lying More,' He Says Ah, so classic. If someone asks him about lying, he just lies about lying, it's great!

... is the lies. But no, this isn't quite the thread you think it is. Look, I know politicians lie. This will be the sixth Presidential election I've cast a ballot in, and I was interested well before that, so I've long since learned the ugly truth of politics. Lying is one of the key...

Remember that ridiculous fake accent speech Obama gave in 2007 to a black audience? Thomas Sowell: Phony-in-Chief: So if Obama fires up a crowd by saying the government hates black people because they wouldn't waive the Stafford act and he himself voted against that act just two weeks...

It seems that the GOP presidential nominee has again, as four years ago, chosen a congenital liar as his running mate: Lie or Mistake? Paul Ryan’s Marathoning Past Also, it seems that he has run exactly one marathon in his life. He comes off though as if he used to run them frequently. He...

There was a good article by William Saletan earlier this year about Mitt Romney's changing stories about what he believes about abortion and how he came to those beliefs. It's obvious Romney's position on abortion has changed over the years. But as Saletan points out, it's one thing to change...

Is Julia Gillard a liar? Did she lie when she said there will be no carbon tax? Techniically she probably didn't. Did she when she said she had arrangements in place for a processing centre in East Timor? It looks like it. What about Wilkie, did she lie to him. He would probably give an...

Mitt Romney versus Reality dM9DVC7kd7s I'm under no illusions. Politicians lie. I'm sure someone can reel off a list for Obama. And I would like to see such a list if anyone has one for comparison purposes. I'm certainly not immune to confirmation bias. But Romney does it so often, so...

It would appear things have changed drastically in the California university system since I was in it. Back then we had to take multiple history classes including courses on both US history and California history (it's mostly about gold and racism towards the Chinese). But Santorum has revealed...

More hilarious lies from Christine O'Donnell. Christine O'Donnell was a big promoter of rabid anti-Semite Mel Gibson's anti-Semitic movie The Passion of the Christ. A very profitable movie it was. :dl:

Christine O'Donnell Lies About Attending Oxford University Christine O'Donnell didn't go to Claremont Graduate University either

Liz Carter, The GOP nominee for Congress in Georgia's 4th has written this blog post on 9/10. It doesn't ring true to me. Flying into NYC and going by the towers just as the first plane hit? Possible. Still flying when the second plane hit? Hmmmmm... STILL flying hours later? Doesn't sound at...
