Maxine Waters, a key Democrat congresswoman that has been implicated in blocking government oversight that could have prevented the current financial crisis, was caught lying Friday evening about her connection to failed lenders Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

During the panel discussion of HBO's "Real Time," Waters was challenged by the Wall Street Journal's Stephen Moore about the campaign contributions she's received from these government sponsored enterprises.

Despite what public records clearly show, Waters denied she had ever taken any money from these two companies

Typical lying liberal BS! When confronted with the truth pull out the old liberal trick of "lie & deny" and if that doesn't work "lie & deny" some more!

[FlingWingFlyer]

Everytime Waters opens her mouth she’s lying. Typical DemocRAT.

[PhiKapMom]

With Maxine Waters, she opens mouth and out come lies!

[jessduntno]

Hard to believe a Marxist would lie....

Does this surprise you about Maxine. A picture tells the story on Maxine and her views. Her views are the same as Barack Obama the rest of the Demorat party.

Paging Claude Rains as Inspector Renault:

“I’m shocked, shocked that a Democratic member of Congress would lie!”

if Maxine Waters was a Republican that had blocked GSE reform this decade, and was caught lying on national television about campaign contributions from Fannie and Freddie, this would be headline and front-page news for days with full-scale coverage of how she and others in her Party were responsible for the current calamity.

BFD - every DEM is taught when they are youngsters that to lie is part of the Liberal life style. Maxine is one of the biggest liars. Sometimes I think the leftie libs don't even believe they are lying - particularly when they are ‘debating€™ someone of another persuasion. It is their way or the high way - the entire globe is wrong unless they accept the liberal precepts of their religion. AND yet everytime liberalism (socialism) has been tried it FAILS. This is the definition of insanity. So, although I don't know the medical reason why LIBERALISM IS A DISEASE, I can certainly see where it approaches insanity.

I see old loud mouthed soup is at it as usual.

Waters is a whacko!....

Maxine Waters looks like what
I suspect O.J. would look like in
drag.

“Say it ain’t so, Maxine. Say it ain’t so.”

BFD - every DEM is taught when they are youngsters that to lie is part of the Liberal life style.

But you don't understand. In their religion, it is honorable to lie to non-democRATS -- you know, infidels.
