WASHINGTON (AP) -- Republican presidential candidates have claimed that the Obama administration is cleansing government files of references to radical Islam, an assertion so juicy that politicians keep repeating it - even though it's a wild exaggeration.
The latest to run with the story is former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum, who told a crowd in Des Moines that the president "actually ordered all references to Islam and Muslim sanitized out of our national security documents."
And over the weekend, Newt Gingrich told a veterans' forum in Des Moines that the administration has "issued instructions, for example, that in developing training papers on terrorism that no mention should be made of radical Islam."
Rep. Michele Bachmann paved the way on Oct. 28, when she told 75 Republican faithful in Iowa that "Obama is allowing terror suspect groups to write the FBI's terror training manual."

The thing is hard right GOP voters don't care if what they are told is lies. As long as it's what they want to hear or bashes Obama, they are shot up to the top of the field. Pretty pathetic, but that's how their minds work.

EVERY POLITICIAN LIES!! They promise you the World, and after they are elected, ignore everything they stood for, as they lied to the American Public.
Its not limited to Republicans or Democrat, but, anyone who runs for office.
If it wasnt for the News People, no one would even remember what they said to get into office.
The Newspeople keep records of everything, so that they can tell the Public that 'this guy keep 'this' promise, and that one kept 'that' promise.
Democrats vilify the Republicans, and the Republicans villify the Democrats.
Thats just a fact of life.
President Bush, they wished he was dead and mauled and mutilated and all kinds of things, that they wished would happen to a person to show thier hatred of the man.
Preident Clinton, they called him every name in the book, and, unfortunately, he was caught with his pants down LOL...(sorry, couldnt resist that one).
Why any 'sane' person would want to be President, well, maybe they should go under extreme psychiatric councelling to find out why they are a glutton for punishement?!!!
I wish you well...
Jesse
