Re: What can be done about Conservative talk show lying?
The problem isn't me listening. I listen and check. But there are 10s of millions of people out there who listen and think that what people like what Sean Hannity are saying is the truth. THAT is a problem.89Hen wrote:Stop listening dumbass.JSO wrote:What can be done about Conservative talk show lying?

Re: What can be done about Conservative talk show lying?
I am indeed a conservative. And that is why I am particularly disappointed in what's going on with the conservative side right now. It's easy to call out the other side when it's wrong. The real test is whether you are willing to call out your OWN side when it's wrong. And there is a serious problem with dishonesty and lack of integrity within the conservative movement right now.css75 wrote:JSO probably has the worst case of TDS on this or any message board.

But you also openly wish for the decimation of the Trump GOP which would be the only possible remedy
But that would leave zero check on the polar opposite (and equally bad) progressive left- and it doesn't seem like you have really considered the endgame there
we've entered a new era of politics in the US and it is a race to the bottom - and there will be two choices for principled people: drop out completely, or go along. I'm 3/4ths of the way there on the first option. In fact when it comes to spending and the national debt I have completely quit. There's no audience for it and we are beyond the point of no return anyway.

Trump lies - a lot
Obama lied too, but not nearly as often - and sometimes he had the good sense to use proxies
But the mechanism by which each respective side justifies any bullshit from the Prez - at all - is exactly the same with Trump as is was with Obama, GWB and Clinton. Sometimes that bears repeating
since you've chosen to pursue a pointless "who's worse" debate, I'll go ahead and state that Trump is by far the greatest bullshit artist/liar we've had in the WH. But I'm not going to rehabilitate Obama or Bush or Clinton just because Trump is a pool hall redneck

Re: What can be done about Conservative talk show lying?
Of course that’s not the point he was making. “Here”being as it pertains to the specific issue he was writing about (whether the Trump tax cuts paid for themselves as promised) and not the larger debate of revenue v. expenses. But you keep on being you.AZGrizFan wrote:Thanks. Anybody who thinks we don't have a spending problem in this country has already set their bar at ZERO credibility.

Lame argument, TBH. revenues are up, but spending is WAY up. It’s obvious to even the most casual observer that revenue is NOT the problem, This perhaps the biggest area where I’m severely disappointed in Trump. He’s done so many positive things, but THIS BS has got to stop.

Re: What can be done about Conservative talk show lying?
Now I'm thinking it might not be Hannity lying. It might he just took a Tweet by Marco Rubio at face value without checking. See https://twitter.com/marcorubio/status/1 ... 17/photo/1 .
Well, I believe that I must tell the truth
And say things as they really are
But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth
Could I ever be a star?

Re: What can be done about Conservative talk show lying?
Remember the Trump middle Class tax cut plan that was going to be launched...
It was announced a few months ago by the President
It's off the table - now that the mid terms are over... (Well you don't say)
Here's a chart on the present tax plan in place
It benefits those who need it the most... Trumps friends at the top
It has the added benefit of assisting in the increased deficit...
Which is important for a Conservative administration and Senate

Do you think the left opposes corporate tax cuts because of their effect on the deficit?
Do you think ANYBODY gives a damn about our fiscal health?
