Republicans, the Post-Truth Party

http://www.thenation.com/article/169767/republicans-post-truth-party


The acceptance speeches by Paul Ryan and Mitt Romney at the GOP convention were only slightly more grounded in reality than Clint Eastwood’s conversation with an empty chair. Ryan is infamous for his pack of lies, from the attempt to blame President Obama for the closing of a Wisconsin GM factory that began shutting down during the Bush presidency, to the fantasy that Ryan’s austerity agenda is about something other than gutting Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid in order to enrich Wall Street speculators and the insurance industry.
austerity is that not the plan that has sunk most of Europe?  and they want to do it here, insanity overload from the thought of losing control and numbers is getting to them.  
going the way the are going by Nov. 6th we will have to build more asylums just for the republicans, with faded posters of Obama on their ceilings over their cots. how poetic is that?
Romney was just as bad, with a rambling rumination on how much he wished Barack Obama’s presidency had “succeeded.” Coming from the man who tried to scuttle Obama’s successful interventions to save GM and Chrysler, and who spent the rest of the president’s first term organizing a campaign to displace him, Romney’s line wasn’t remotely believable.
the dynamic duo has branded themselves as incapable of uttering any thing close to truth. have you noticed shows like morning joe, joe never mentions the lies being perpetrated within the right wing of "i know you are but what am i?
