A sampling of whoppers from last night's GOP debate....

President
As always with the GOP, it was quite the liefest.....

;-)

Summary
The Republican candidates met once again, and we found several claims worthy of fact-checking. Here are some of the highlights from the debate:
  • Former CEO Carly Fiorina claimed that 92 percent of the job losses in President Obama’s first term belonged to women, but women — and men — gained jobs by the end of Obama’s first term.
  • Businessman Donald Trump disputed the idea that he had criticized Sen. Marco Rubio and Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg for supporting H-1B visas. In fact, Trump’s immigration plan, posted on his website, is critical of both of them.
  • Trump also claimed his campaign was 100 percent self-funded, but more than half of the money his campaign has raised came from supporters’ contributions.
  • Fiorina blamed the Affordable Care Act for a large disparity in firm closings versus openings every year. But closings outnumbered firm births by the widest margin in 2009, a year before the law was enacted.
  • Retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson said it was “total propaganda” to say he was involved with a controversial nutritional supplement company, but he appeared in promotional videos for the company, touting its products.
  • New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said that Social Security would be insolvent in seven to eight years. But even after the trust funds are exhausted — estimated to be in 14 to 19 years — the program can still pay out 73 percent of benefits for several decades.
  • Sen. Ted Cruz said women’s wages have declined under Obama, when in fact the latest figures show their wages have increased.
  • Rubio claimed CNBC’s John Harwood was wrong that a Tax Foundation analysis of his tax plan found those in the top 1 percent of earners would get nearly twice the gain as those in the middle. Harwood was right, and that’s on a percentage basis.
  • In the undercard debate, former New York Gov. George Pataki claimed the Iranians, Russians and Chinese “hacked” the private server Hillary Clinton used as secretary of state and obtained “state secrets.” There’s no evidence of that.

I stopped at the first deception which *coincidentally* was in the first item. I suspect the remainder of the list is... ah who cares?

Thanks for the list, didn't they know those fabricated stories can be fact checked. :rolleyes:

The Illustrated Guide to the 'Comic Book' GOP Debate

Judging by Wednesday's Republican debate, Donald Trump isn't the only one running a "comic book" campaign

As we see in this thread above, GOP cultists happily support lying by their cult leaders.

I truly believe that most GOP cultists would refuse to support a GOP cult leader who did not lie his/her ass off.

VERY strange people.

imagine if you interviewed for a job as leader of a company where you spent the whole time explaining why the company sucks, it is inefficient, it never works, it will never work and it is filled with over paid lazy workers. Then double down by saying with a straight face that you will fix it all by firing everyone, cutting the budget in half and drown the rest of it in a bath tube. You close by saying the company is the greatest company in the world, God Bless the Company.

Sounds like the career of Carli Fiorina.

;-)
 
And after you tell the company that it sucks, the employees suck and you plan on destroying it, all the conservatives in the company clap enthusiastically, stomp their feet and shout your name out loud in orgasmic delight at your potential hiring as CEO of the company. As the new CEO beams proudly, the other 70% of your employees who think you are absolutely insane quit and join your competitor.
