Politifacts Political Lie of the Year
 

The Top Ten political lies at politifact.com

apparently the folks at politifact did take into acct what the people said in November!:zz:

What "Ive lived in chicago the last year but was never there" lost?

Fix is in!

Why would they? Politifact is non-party associated, and judges claims that politicians of both parties make as true or false (or in-between), based upon the merit of the statement. The "government takeover" phrase origination was recommended as deliberate characterization useage by a GOP strategist. It certainly worked, as it is the most pervasive lie of last year :D

You do make the point that the point of politicians lying is to get voters to vote for them. That goes with the U Maryland study of last week that just found that Fox News viewers are the least truthfully-informed. Voters are responsible for their own education on the issues. The "low information" voter loves them some angry or scary slogans ;) From either party.

I was pretty sure you would latch onto that story, particularly with the slam on Fox. Spin away....

Hard to spin reality, isn't it? :rolleyes:

You might check out www.politifact.com It slams both parties equally. The "pants on fire!" ratings are interesting. It has an "Obama promise" meter you might like.
