LIGHTNING ROUND: TRUTH EDTION


It seems now days we have a problem with the truth.  Instead, people seem to be favoring bullshit to facts.  In this edition of the lightning round I am going to comment on some of the lies I missed his week.


1.   And still she insists on lying!
Sharon Angle and Harry Reid debated the issues recently and traded blows back and forth on some serious issues.  Even though they had a good debate on a host of serious issues…it seems he still insists on spreading bullshit arguments.  In this article there is a video of part of the debate where she continually says Harry Reid voted to give tax breaks to illegal aliens and to give illegal’s social security benefits.  (timestamp 2:44)  She not only says she is right, but then avoids to give any serious response.  She starts talking about everything else.

2.        The deficit is drowning us?  Not so much.
In the 2010 Deficit report it seems that the deficit is going DOWN even though it is still over  $1 Trillion.  I know this flies in the face of everyone saying that Obama is drowning our country in debt but the truth is that it is getting better!

3.        They say they want peace but they keep waging war
It seems that Israel is shooting its chances of peace with Palestine in the foot!  Even though they are in the middle of peace talks, Israel is now saying they want to construct 238 new housing units in East Jerusalem.  They like to pretend that they want peace but when it comes down to the line they only care about themselves.

4.        I got 99 problems but paperwork aint one!
It seems Wells Fargo & Co. is refusing to close their foreclosures even though one of their employee’s testified that she signed up to 500 foreclosure documents DAILY without reading them!  The fact that even though this company has ruined a good number of lives under false pretenses they now want to continue this process.  And we want to save them…why?

5.        Your reforms are inert!
And now for toxic chemicals!  It seems that even though there are laws banning companies from putting certain chemicals in water bottles, baby blankets and anti-bacterial soaps the same law does not give the government does not demand that the company prove they are safe!  Government tests have shown that companies have failed to meet these standards.  Some politicians vowed to fix it but ended up giving up…most likely after getting a lot of money.
