23. GOP has been lying for years

Sun Jan 22, 2017, 12:32 PM

Jan 2017

Let's start with Trickle Economics enables job creaters to create jobs. Let's start with the GOP wants to kill the ACA because it's a failed policy. They want to destroy the ACA because their millionaire owners don't want to pay the surtaxes. How about the lie that climate change is a hoax? Or the lie that there is vast voter fraud? Or the lie about MWD in Iraq? Or the lies that free trade deals are good for America? Lies after lies after lies.

Well here's the truth. The Republican part is a vast criminal enterprise.
