Respectively.


Clearly, you spend way too much time figuring out "lies". You're, clearly, not very good at it either, much less realizing the priorities and treatment afforded to you.

My personal take... I would hate to be you.
Clearly all politicians tell lies. The ones that seem to consume you are Republican lies while you seem to dismiss democratic lies
respectively.
Yes we as a people should spend time to draw out and understand when a lie is being told to us by our governemnt. I try to understand the difference between the lie and the truth and why they chose to lie. while you like to see Republican lies , i do not see a difference in a lie base don a party and try to see the truth that a lie is hiding.
And as you feel so do I , I would hate to be you

How about we all become so concerned about lies told by others and check them out before forwarding emails or starting threads here? How about we dig out the truth before regurgitating another lie we saw on a website or got in an email?

No, political lies don't consume me. They clearly do it to you, however, and I'm not surprised. It is treatment of an idiot that gets me, a reason I don't see voting for any republican in the near future, for at least as long as they push this idea of "purity" tests.

True! I wish not having cleaned my spambox moments ago, for a recent sample worth putting here. I also get some very idiotic mails from the GOP and its pushers. They can easily mislead the less informed.

I have seen emails only using character assignation on republicans.

I clearly think it is our job as citizens to try to determine what our government is telling us to be the truth or a lie. I would assume all citizens would have interest in that. My bad if you do not

From my stand point i never use an email to post here. Most are conspiracy idiots that both sides have that are unproven at best.
So i promise not to use emails i get here on CD

If you point out an actual lie I would not defend it. We disagree here because you like to disagree. I woudl be happy to say a republicna lied when you cab prove it a lie. Howeve r you woudl never concede a point. that is why discussion with you is very difficult
