Yesterday, Texas on the Potomac posted coverage of PolitiFact’s assessment of freshman Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. The Pulitzer Prize-winning news source rated Cruz as being untruthful in his statements 50 percent of the time.
Readers reached out, questioning the truthfulness of the fact-checkers themselves. Ted Cruz’s office contacted us with similar concerns.
“PF is a liberal editorial outfit not a neutral fact checker. You must see that when you read items like yesterday’s Cruz/Obamacare item, which is ridiculous to the point of hilarity. Not a single substantial fact of Cruz’s is rebutted — in fact, his analysis was confirmed — but PF reached its preferred conclusion regardless — not just doubtful or half true but ‘pants on fire,’” Cruz spokesman Sean Rushton said.

> Liberals lie, and they are very good about lying to themselves.
I have experience with pathological liars. They actually believe their own lies, even when you can plainly see that they are lying. I actually showed one what he did, and he still promoted his own lie, saying, “How do I know you didn’t do that?”
Amazing.
PolitiFact flak chuckers’ spin raises the question:
How much flak will a flak chucker chuck to shield its own lies?
I would question any "news source" that is Pulitzer prize winning.
Just read both articles at The Chron, along with the remarks.
I feel like I visited the DU.
I need a shower.
Ugh. Me too. It's amazing that these kind of people will lie even when the truth would serve them better.
--It's all a liberal blur
A recent experience - in a discussion with a liberal, he made a statement - that a woman couldn’t be elected President in this country. I don’t know what his ultimate point was but I disagreed. After several back and forths, I noted that he’d said a woman couldn’t be elected President in this country.
He said, “I never said that.”
I said, “Yes, you did.”
He said, “No I didn’t.”
I said, You did.”
Just then several bystanders jumped in and said to him, “Yes, you did. You did say that.”
His response: “Okay I said it.” (Pause) “But I deny it.”
If you can explain that one to me, please do. He couldn’t.
even if this was true, which i doubt, it still makes cruz 50% better than the POSOTUS.
