Mitt Romney now criticised by China

12. Unfortunately, no.

A funny thing happens to conservatives when you lie to them. They're suckers to begin with, but if someone who is not a trusted conservative disputes the lie, conservatives become more likely to believe the lie.

In this case, the lie was largely for Sheldon Adelson's benefit, and it's an easy lie to tell because the Senate will never approve any move from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. Most Republicans probably cannot point out the two cities on a map, and are probably only dimly aware that Israel is a country at all.

But now that China got bent out of shape about it, they'll know that moving the embassy to Jerusalem is a great idea, and what could possibly go wrong?

President Obama is well aware of this phenomenon and, occasionally, one can see Vice President Biden performing an unusual two-step where he voices partial approval of Republican people, tactics, and policy.

That really confuses the already confused right-wing authoritarians, and in combination with the tax cut debacle, it is going to be very easy for Republicans to stay home and count the money they're going to make by not voting.
