Why Paul Ryan thought he could get away with lying: 6 theories

[KharmaTrain]

10. The 50.1 Percent "Solution"...

The rushpublicans game here is to get enough of the "right" votes in the right places to make it possible to slip by and/or steal the election. They know they can no longer win on their ideas and they've alienated so many different groups (blacks, hispanics, women) that they have to hope their people show up in large numbers and ours don't. This is done in many ways...voter intimidation and disenfranchisement is a very visible way, but the lying is also another powerful and possible successful tactic.

The rushpublicans have become the party of the big lie...and are able to do it through their propaganda outlets. It's meant to attract the angry, the frustrated...those who get sucked into the faux noise world where everything Obama and Democrats are evil and it goes from there. There's the hate radio mantra that constantly questions this President's legitamacy and throwing out the race and gender cards early and often. It's using lies to create scapegoats, straw men and bumper sticker sound bites that attract the low information voter.

Ryan's playing the same game he has ever since he ran in his first political race. IOKIYAR when it comes to lying...if anything, it's expected!
