They are doing so, but it does not matter. Joel Send a noteboard - 30/08/2012 03:26:47 PM
I am trying to determine whether most of the speakers bleating about having built everything entirely by themselves were being duplicitous and deliberately misrepresenting what Obama and Warren have said, or of they're actually idiots.

As discussed in Artsapats thread, the Information Age has ironically gone far toward trivializing facts with undesired contents/sources. Reactions will be from:

Die-hard conservatives, who will dismiss exposure of the lies as liberal media spin; Fox will corroborate that for them nightly,

Die-hard liberals, whose preferred sources long ago exposed the lies and

The vast majority of the public that could not care less about politics and will consequently never notice lies nor exposure.

The last group will hear about both over the watercooler, but probably conclude it is just the left and right trading hyperbolic accusations again. Republicans seemingly CANNOT stop telling lies about Dems, whose sole hope is thus to keep telling the truth about them and pray people listen: Two party addition by subtraction. :[

EDIT: Multiple other examples, much good may it do http://politicalwire.com/archives/2012/08/30/the_most_dishonest_convention_speech_ever.html

I encourage anyone planning on voting in the US elections this November to watch both conventions. - 27/08/2012 11:38:31 PM 910 Views

You're not properly using a "Re:" tag if you are changing the subject line. *NM* - 28/08/2012 12:42:13 AM 237 Views
It is convenient though, and concise. - 28/08/2012 02:10:52 AM 636 Views

God already decided the GOP convention should be cut short. No arguing with deities. *NM* - 28/08/2012 12:03:30 AM 335 Views
Would you still say that if Obama were struck by lightning? *NM* - 28/08/2012 12:42:40 AM 217 Views
Assuming he survived, I'd probably make the same joke, yes. - 28/08/2012 01:28:44 AM 502 Views

Well, yeah; most of us are, but which one...? - 29/08/2012 11:24:09 PM 530 Views
What else do we need to know? Obama was a disaster for 4 years, everything got worse..... - 28/08/2012 04:57:21 AM 525 Views
You are right. The Green Party is clearly the sensible choice. *NM* - 28/08/2012 08:10:26 PM 288 Views

The incumbent administration being deemed a 4-year disaster didn't help Kerry defeat Bush. *NM* - 28/08/2012 09:28:03 PM 304 Views
But that was all in foreign policy. The economy was doing pretty well back then. - 29/08/2012 02:04:13 AM 563 Views

You're actually blaming Bush for 9/11 now? - 30/08/2012 04:22:05 AM 513 Views

Ideally, I'm trying to just get as many people as possible to not vote Obama. - 29/08/2012 02:04:57 AM 434 Views

While I expect it's the latter, I can't help but hope the media will call the RNC out on their lies. - 30/08/2012 11:00:20 AM 547 Views
