Republicans Lie More Than Democrats... A LOT MORE!

What A Shocker: New Study Concludes That Republicans Lie Much More Than Democrats

A new study from the Center for Media and Public Affairs at George Mason University concludes that Republicans are the ‘less credible party.’ And we never suspected a thing (wink wink). Michele Bachmann is one of the worst offenders.



Salon reports:

100 statements evaluated by the fact-checking website PolitiFact between Obama’s second inauguration and this month, the researchers found that claims from Republican officials were labeled as “false” or “pants on fire” by a 3-to-1 margin, compared to claims from Democratic officials. Conversely, half as many Republican claims were labeled “entirely true.”

“While Republicans see a credibility gap in the Obama administration, PolitiFact rates Republicans as the less credible party,” said CMPA president  Robert Lichter in a press release. An earlier study from the CMPA found the website rated the Romney campaign worse than the Obama campaign during the 2012 election. Not surprisingly, Michele Bachmann is one of the most poorly rated politicians on PolitiFact.
The study states, “A majority of Democratic statements (54%) were rated as mostly or entirely true, compared to only 18% of Republican statements. Conversely, a majority of Republican statements (52%) were rated as mostly or entirely false, compared to only 24% of Democratic statements.”
Of course, Republicans will claim the study is ‘skewed’ and will  not dictate their campaigns on fact-checkers, such as the Romney campaign said.  Either way, Democrats are winning, while Michele Bachmann gives fact-checkers migraines every time she opens her mouth.
During the Presidential debate, Mitt Romney used what was titled as PolitiFact’s ‘lie of the year’ and propagated it further.

Paul Ryan did the same thing while debating Joe Biden.

The statement adds, “This study’s findings are similar to those of a previous CMPA study, which found that PolitiFact gave more negative ratings to the Romney campaign than the Obama campaign during the 2012 presidential election campaign.”
Bu…but Benghazi!:

“Despite controversies over Obama administration statements regarding Benghazi, the IRS and the Associated Press, Republicans have continued to fare worse than Democrats, with 60% of their claims rated as false so far this month (May 1 – May 22), compared to 29% of Democratic statements – a 2 to 1 margin.”

  1. Republicans hate blacks, Latinos, gays and lesbians, women, and the poor. Republicans also hate science education and public schools, and Republicans want Creationism to be inserted into public school science texts books.

    I live in Texas (I'm ashamed to admit) and our Texas Republicans are against teaching critical thinking, against teaching Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) because they believe that teaching children how to think for themselves undermines "parental authority" because Republicans want to brainwash children and indoctrinate children into their religious fairy tales.

    Incidentally, it is in the red states where we have the highest percentage of people living in poverty and on welfare, and having to get food stamps.

    While the blue states have much lower rates of of poverty, and people living on welfare and food stamps.

    Now, why is that?

    I think, it's because, in the red states we have a lower quality of education, while in the blue states, we have a higher quality of education. Also, the blue states have lower rates of unemployment. And also, again, the life expectancy is higher in the blue states than in the red states.

    Unfortunately, many blacks live in areas where the schools have a poor quality of education.

    So, it appears to me, that Republicans wish to keep EVERYBODY uneducated so that our kids will grow up stupid and poor.

    We Democrats want to improve education, and to keep religious creationist fairy tales out of our schools, and we Democrats want to improve science education in our schools.

    During the Bush administration, unemployment went up, while under Obama, unemployment has been going down, and we Democrats want to increase the minimum wadge, which will encourage more people to get off welfare and seek employment.

    Bush and Cheney are war criminals! And they ran up the biggest deficit in history, while under Obama, the deficit has been going down.

    Bush and Cheney fucked up America. The only thing Clinton ruined was a dress and a good cigar.

    Yeah! The first time somebody listened to a bush, about a million people wandered in a desert 40 years!

    So, you can shove a dildo up your ass, and pull it out, and . . .

    SUCK ON IT!

    You rightist MORON!!!

  3. Good evening Fat Bastardo!!!

    Speaking of douche-bags.

    A couple of days ago, I was at The Amazing Atheist website, and I order a download version of his book, THE DOUCHEBAG BIBLE. The hard cover version cost over $40 dollars, but the downloaded PDF version was only $14.99 which I saved to my hard drive.

    Have you ever read THE DOUCHEBAG BIBLE?

    It has about 324 pages and it only took me a couple of days reading it.

    It will make you laugh, it will make you cry, it will piss you off, and you will get schooled.

    I loved reading every page.
