Just an observation regarding lying

[nadinbrzezinski]

Folks, I know this is hard to believe, but the RNC did not lie as a matter of policy in the past.

You know who did though? The Whigs...yet another paralel emerges. The know nothing's of the 1850s were a tad pathological.

But really, at one time the RNC were people who had no need to lie. These days they do...for similar reasons as the Whigs

Now how about that arithmetic?

1. I'll have to look up the Whigs. nt

[nadinbrzezinski]

2. They were replaced by the RNC

Another fun fact, the democrats-Republicans, not always a left of center party, are the only party going to the early years...you know thm as Democrats.

In the early days of the grand old party, it was a left wing party and pretty much pro-labor. Nope, Lincoln would be kicked out of the GOP today.

7. I knew that about the old Repubs are really the current Dems. But not the whigs. I knew the name

"whigs" but couldn't remember who they were.

3. rule number one is that all politicians lie, if you have any experience with interviewing people

you can see all the tells they give off after a while, I hate to say it but the only honest ones are the psychos like hitler who tell you exactly what they plan to do.

6. Actually while rricky dick was bad

The pattern really took form under Reagan, but was unavoidable under Junior. These things take a generation or so to be fully established.
