All those words about Cruz lying without ONE actual instance or example. Then there is THIS gem:

:: part of what it means to be liberal is to be open-minded. That means liberals are open to information that might change a perception. ::

Couldn’t “open to information” also be understood as “believing lies”?

Another professor...

Not just another professor, but a 'Professor of International Affairs and Comparative Literature.'

The longer the job title, the more irrelevant the job.

Journolistas like this one remind me of what Reagan said - "Leftists know so much...that isn't true."

And if one believes something different from what the Leftist's "narrative" says, then you are "lying". They cannot conceive somebody just having a different opinion, or that a set of facts which (to them) clearly implies "A" may (to another) have a different interpretation.

What I think frightens these people even more than a lying politician is one that is actually telling the truth as they see it.

Liars can be easily manipulated... but a honest and truthful man can’t be treated so cavalierly.

Think of Cruz’s delusional comments about climate change

Their number one example.

He "lies" without "knowing" that he's lying because he won't drink the kool aid regarding a Green Scare myth about man 'killing' this planet (and Mars).

Obama’s website lied when his fight the smears page said he was a lifelong Christian.

Obama lied when he said his parents got together because of the Selma march.

Obama lied when he said that he could not equate same sex ‘marriage’ with “traditional” marriage (because ‘God is in the mix’).

Obama lied when he said you could keep your insurance.

Obama lied when he said he wouldn’t raise taxes on the middle class.

Obama lied when he said that Bergdahl was heroic.

Obama lied. People died.

Stuff it, Salon.

It is interesting what sticks in a national debate. This "only governors need apply" theme has been getting weekly attention. Once again, here is the list of ALL Presidents who have been Governors... 39 percent, only 17 of 44... and very few notable names in the list:

Jefferson
Monroe
Tyler
Van Buren
Polk
Johnson
Hayes
Cleveland
McKinley
Wilson
Coolidge
FDR
Carter
Reagan
Clinton
Bush

From FDR to Carter... none.

No Lincoln, Teddy, Ike, Truman, JFK, Washington, Madison, Adams...

Four who were Governors were also among our worst Presidents... Wilson, Carter, and the only two impeached Presidents (Johnson and Clinton)...
and FDR changed us into the welfare state...

The only two great Presidents who were Governors, IMO, are Reagan and Jefferson. Coolidge had some great philosophies (smaller government, laissez faire capitalism, taxes only when necessary, didn't like long speeches, etc), but didn't put them to use well enough. (There was an actual Congress back then.)

Less than half were governors... and less than half of those were notable presidents... with half being great and half being poor. In the end, it seems to me that Governorships don't matter much. It SOUNDS right to say that the most important executive on earth ought to have major executive experience first... but if we stuck only to ideas that sounded good and decent, we would all be liberals obeying Jon Stewart and bumper sticker philosophies.

“Her latest book, co-authored with Remy M. Maisel, is, Is Satire Saving Our Nation? Mockery and American Politics.”

I wonder how often she tells her students how scary Ted Cruz is.

Not enough meds in the world to fix the delusions of these folks. As Cruz continues to soar, their afflictions will continue to worsen - should make for some interesting scenes along the way...

“But lying depends on the liar knowing that what he is saying is false.”

*****************************************

Which makes Barack Hussein Obama a vicious liar every time he moves his lips.
