PolitiFact Picks 2009's 'Lie Of The Year': Death Panels!

Why do the Republicans hate Americans?

It`s been my experience that when the R`s say things like this they are saying what they intend to do to liberals.The D`s just do not say these kinds of things.The R`s act on them.They are the party of the "lying meanies."

Meet the 2012 Republican nominee!
All Republicans suck, as the Death Panel meme suggests. They are ncapable of honest discourse on the issues because they are ignorant of facts and their partisanship, bigotry, and loyalty to the wealthiest, most corrupt, and reactionary corporate entities makes honesty impossible. Can we even imagine the reaction had DEMOCRATS held up the Pentagon funding bill just as a tactic to delay HCR?

Just to see the others that were in contention, here are the runners-up:

• With 12.3 percent of the vote, a claim by conservative talk show host Glenn Beck that John Holdren, President Barack Obama's top science adviser, "has proposed forcing abortions and putting sterilants in the drinking water to control population."

• With 8.7 percent of the vote, a claim by Orly Taitz that a birth certificate showed that President Obama was born in Kenya.

• With 7.1 percent of the vote, President Obama's statement that "preventive care saves money."

Rounding out the rest of the finalists:

• 5.8 percent: The shout of "You lie!" by Rep. Joe Wilson, R-S.C., in response to President Obama saying health reform would not insure illegal immigrants.

• 3.2 percent: The claim that Page 92 of the House health care bill "says specifically that people can’t purchase private health insurance after a date certain," said by Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn.

• 1.7 percent: The claim that "When one person sneezes, it goes all the way through the aircraft," said by Vice President Joe Biden, when fears of swine flu were prevalent.

• 0.5 percent: The claim that an amendment to the House health reform bill "puts new restrictions on women's access to abortion coverage in the private health insurance market even when they would pay premiums with their own money," said by Rep. Nita Lowey, D-N.Y.

Your forgot the biggest lie of all for this year........Comprehensive Health care Reform......It is really..... Comprehensive Insurance Reform at the expense of all.......When this bill is enacted it is going to be seen as a monumental mistake, not because it wasn't necessary it was, but the real winners here are the Insurance companies. I don't care how much spin Axelfool and the rest of the sell outs put on this monstrosity it is a pig in a poke for the americans who really need help. AND WHERE ARE THE PROGRESSIVE.....Sanders Feingold etc....now is the time for them to put up or shut up especially Sanders. I listen to him on Thom Hartman on Fridasy and he talks the talk but this is the time for him to walk the walk and he is selling out and towing the line of the Democrats. They all suck!
