    To be fair, Obama, like any politician, will spin things in his favor to make his case.

    Even viewed through that lens, you have to have some basis in fact to make claims, however weak.

    Romney has gone for the sweeping generalizations here that play well to his base. That these sweeping generalizations are wildly, provably inaccurate, doesn't seem to be cause for concern for Republicans.

    Why have no Republicans come forward to call him on this bull ?


    I know a lot of you like to pretend there isn't much difference between the two parties. For the most part, I would agree that they both play to the center, and because of their size can't get too far apart.

    BUT

    What I see is that the right wing in this country simply cannot make the case for its ideology without lying at some point, and that is very damning when it comes to finding pragmatic, evidence-based solutions to problems.

    Also, your tacit implication that all Right Wingers are ideological liars and devoid of any ability to apply pragmatism to a solution is absurd.

    You didn't think this out very well, did you?

    Romney is just as much a giant Politician as Obama, newsbreaking. Politicians are politicians, lol self-declared intellectual still chained by the partisan paradigm.

    Loser regressives can't make a case for ideology so they play on heart strings and white guilt. How noble. Obama is a flat out liar, for you to bash Romney and then gently caress Obama as doing nothing more than spinning the occasional fib is a joke. Genius can't even man up on his own fking healthcare plan.

    "all Right Wingers are ideological liars and devoid of any ability to apply pragmatism"

    An accurate statement, except I would add pathological before "liars".

    Am I a pathalogical liar, boutons?

    I do drift more to the right than the left.

    "I am not a crook"
    "I did not sell missiles to Iran"
    "I did not have sexual relations with that woman"
    "They have weapons of mass destruction"
    "I will bring the troops home within 16 months", "I will close Guantanamo", "I will stop Bush detention policies", etc, etc

    Romney would just be another one on in a long line of liars

    Feel free to. Give me a link, and I will add it to the OP. The thread le's word choice was intentionally unspecific.

    Obama made a lot of promises that he either didn't know he would have to go back on, or never intended to carry through in 2008. You should start there.

    It is a piece of propaganda, although I'm not sure what context would change some of the basic statements Romney made into things that weren't sweeping generalizations.

    Not all right wingers are either of those things, and that is not what I think. If you think it is tacit, then I should clarify. My bad.

    What I do think, is that when people start making the case for right-wing ideology, it almost invariably has to start leaving out important infomration needed to make good decisions. This selectivization of the facts piles up to the point where it starts becoming lies of omission.

    There is a gulf between making a case for something, and doing so in an intellectually honest manner.

    I don't think all people who hold right-wing ideologies tend to be devoid of pragmatism.

    Crud... times up. More later.

    Strawman.

    either didn't know he would have to go back on, or never intended to carry through in 2008
    The latter phrase implies an intent to deceive, i.e. "he meant to"

    Can you make an argument without strawman attacks, or is it impossible for you to fairly represent people's views that you dont' agree with?

    Now that I would buy.

    Question:

    Do you see ANY Republican on this board or elsewhere who is, or has called Romney on his lies?

    I'm not talking about "people", I'm talking about Repug politicians, right-wing hate media, Fox Repug Progaganda network, "Christian" asshole extremists.

    eg, even MSM asked McLiar to quit lying about Hussein in 2008.

    Obama is as bad as Romney. It's been proven by his lies about guantanamo, iraq, NDAA, bailouts, prosecution of bankers, campaign funding, etc, etc.

    The delusion that Red team has a bigger liar is pathetic.

    From the guy who misrepresented things in the 9/11 thread about the video I posted there, and you laughed your wrong assumptions and misrepresentations off as if they were funny and true, then avoided them by trying to show other videos all the while not watching mine.

    strawman


    Che is right. Nothing but cry-babying excuses for the fraud that is Obama. There is no difference from the Dems and Republicans. The corruption is there on both sides. You support a corrupt system, a corrupt way of doing things. The SYSTEM itself, set up the way it is for Dems and Republicans is a fraud. Obama is no different, if not worse.
