In case you missed it, a study not released by MSNBC (so save your
breath conservatives), by the nonpartisan Center for Media and Public
Affairs at George Mason University have found that repugicans are
significantly more likely to lie than Democrats. And here is the kicker
that the liberals have been saying all along: the lying gap between repugicans and Democrats is widening as President Barack Obama spends
more time in office.Oh this is just too good. Ever since
Obamacare was passed and signed into law in 2010, the repugicans have
been no strangers to lying about everything, from the healthcare law
itself to the number of vacations the President has taken. The study
came as the political atmosphere heated up during the "scandals" of the
IRS, Benghazi, and the AP.
In their study, 100 statements
involving factual claims by Democrats (46 claims) and repugicans (54
claims) were examined, which were fact-checked by PolitiFact.com during
the four month period from the start of President Obama's second term on
January 20 through May 22, 2013. In just four months worth of fact
checking the repugican cabal was found to be lying the most. Here is what they
found:
PolitiFact rated 32% of repugican claims as "false" or "pants on fire," compared to 11% of Democratic claims - a 3 to 1 margin.
Conversely, Politifact rated 22% of Democratic claims as "entirely true" compared to 11% of repugican claims - a 2 to 1 margin.
A
majority of Democratic statements (54%) were rated as mostly or
entirely true, compared to only 18% of repugican statements.
Conversely, a majority of repugican statements (52%) were rated as
mostly or entirely false, compared to only 24% of Democratic statements.
And here is where the liberals have been right all along regarding the repugican cabal's witch-hunts against President Obama:
Regarding
Benghazi, the IRS and the Associated Press, repugicans have continued
to fare worse than Democrats, with 60% of their claims rated as false so
far this month (May 1 - May 22), compared to 29% of Democratic
statements - a 2 to 1 margin.
