Lib Admits Election Strategy Relies on Garish Histrionic Lies
Let’s not guess what the Democrat election strategy is. One liberal is fool enough to tell us:
A top official at a liberal super PAC with the goal of eradicating tea partiers from Congress is telling activists that it’s more effective to label Republicans as racists than criticize their policies.
According to an audio recording obtained by The Daily Caller, Matthew “Mudcat” Arnold, the national campaign manager of the liberal CREDO super PAC, told a gathering of supporters in Aurora, Colo., on Sept. 8 that they’ve realized “policy did not move voters.”
He used Iowa Republican Rep. Steve King as an example.
“When we said that Steve King … is pro-life and believes in cutting Social Security and voted for the Ryan budget, no one cared,” Arnold said. “When we said Steve King’s a racist, Steve King believes that immigrants ought to be put in electric fences, people moved.” …
CREDO super PAC, which did not immediately return a request for comment from The Daily Caller on Thursday, bills itself as a “political committee working to defeat ten of the most odious tea party members of Congress.”
By “odious,” they mean most likely to uphold American values such as decency, patriotism, and individual liberty.
On a tip from J. Hat tip: Hot Air.
Well… this sure doesn’t in any way remind anyone of a certain Romney adviser saying that their campaign “won’t be dictated by fact-checkers”… right? Totally different. Yeah… Team R&R would never say something that stupid aloud… oh… oops…
Good that you brought this up. Otherwise nobody would have realized that political campaigns are all about winning instead of governing, ideas, or reality. Way to provide such a valuable service to us all.
realitysliberalbias, So you have no problem with Liberals telling lies about the Right, but you have a huge problem when the Right tells the TRUTH about you and your Liberal ilk!
There hasn’t yet been any truth from the R&R crew thus far… but if that day ever comes, I will be quite interested.
And to be fair, the above comments are possibly accurate. In the true Glenn Beckish way, “he has never publicly denied that he wants to electrify immigrants”… so it must be true, right? That’s how shit works in the FauxNews part of the universe. Right?
realitysliberalbias, I see, so Liberals can say whatever they want about the Right and you will swallow it whole. Yet the Rights words will be fact-checked to the n-th degree, found to be accurate, and you will STILL call them lies.
I understand, you may go now!
Not suprised at all. If you can not win based on a policy and a stated set of values, then slander and lie. There enough of the masses that want to believe it. This is not going to end well.
“Yet the Rights words will be fact-checked to the n-th degree, found to be accurate”…
……. really???
uhhhh…
hmmmmmm….
yeah… more here…
Mitt’s score – overall, now – is appalling… 71% half truth or less???
OK Stan. You are clearly right. THe “Right” is always so full of truthiness that we should stop looking and accept their nonsense at face value. Right.
After all, no Right-wing politician lies (constantly…) only the Left. Right?
Dolt. You really are a political hack. A bloviating windbag incapable of seeing the world for what it is.
At least I assume they are all lying… you appear to think that the Right occasionally (always?) tells the truth – and that is some scary shit.
realitysliberalbias, do you want to comapre lies, do you REALLY? Shoudl I just go with Obama’s recent lies and appeasement on the attacks on our embassies? Or perhaps Clinton’s?
Or maybe you can call Biden’s outrageous lies “gaffes”?
Sorry, but your “facts”… AREN’T!
Don’t expect the Libtards to lose any sleep over their lying and deception.
They have no conscience!
None whatsoever.
Remember that this is the same party that has waged a gencidal war against unborn infants.
What do you expect from people who actively promote and encourage infanticide?

hmmmmmm….
yeah… more here…
You give us “fact checks” generated by endless cesspools of extreme left-wingnut “journalists” — all the while ridiculing “faux news” for being bias — and expect us to swallow all of that?
No, thank you. Hold the Kool Aid, please.
Look guy, you are (still…) missing the point. As you always seem to.
The point is that 100% of politicians lie. About literally everything. Even when they don’t need to. While I recognize and acknowledge this simple statement, you do not. You are somehow (well, the ‘somehow’ in that sentence is ‘you aren’t very bright’) under the impression that your ‘team’ isn’t lying about everything.
Which makes you a partisan hack at best, and an outright mental deficient at worst.
Your choice.
RealityLiberlBullshit…Why do You libs alway say people are Stupid, and Not Bright? Is than the infantile
way of trying, to Make yourself so Superior? You Hateful Libs are all Liars! Every Post you use ad hominem attacks..you are so YOU..Get Over Yourself Already!
Cameraman,
rlb is just projecting when sheit calls people stupid. I stop reading the minute some lib quotes Soro owned FactCheck.org.
Wow. So Cameraman is either in early grade school, or suffers from some debilitating mental illness…
Seriously. You make it past 4th grade, guy? How does capitalization work? Sentence structure and syntax are just guidelines, right?
I am clearly more educated than you are. Not that it necessarily means anything, but in this case, it is kinda hilarious that you want to call me out on calling you people stupid… and you do it in the guise of a mentally retarded infant.
Stop making this so easy. Shooting fish in a barrel.

You don’t debate fools. It is written. You remind them what silly dipshits they are, then ignore the mental freaks and move on.
when is somebody gonna shoot the pigeon? Now there’s shit all over the place.
RLB apparently sees no difference between campaigning on the platform of “Having to borrow every cent we use to actually run our government is bad, we need to fix the budget.” and a platform of “Republicans are evil racist Nazis who want to kill grandma!”
Or worse, he thinks the latter is better. And if you think my statement about the budget is false, I’ve got some math for you.
ROFL. Rlb is the new Adolph Hitler of the infantile Grammar Nazi Party.
It sounds that The President is a “bitter clinger” or a hypocrite or both:

I think your statement about the budget is naive. R&R plan to lower taxes on billionaires and lower the budget gap/national debt at the same time… and use “magic” or “wishing reeeaaaally hard” as the means to make those two things happen at the same time.
Which is a lie. As I said… both teams – all teams – lie. Everything from Obama closing Gitmo to Ryan running a 3-hour marathon – literally every word for all of them is false.
You somehow think your ‘team’ is immune. Which makes you stupid, naive, and dangerous… because your ass gets to vote like the rest of us.
anotherrandomID, no matter how mandy different ID’s you use, your stupid will always come through.
Romney & Ryan’s plan lowers taxes on TAXPAYERS. Whether or not you think politicians lie in their campaigns, the unmistakable fact is that YOU LIE!

Look guy, you are (still…) missing the point. As you always seem to.
Your alleged point is based on far-left wingnut partisan hack sources; therefore, it is null-and-void. Which you would have noticed me successfully pointing out earlier if you hadn’t been guzzling Obama Kool Aid.
Nevermind. Here, why don’t I do us all a favor by linking to something you can understand instead.
… I am always truthful Stan. Always. R&R’s plan doesn’t, in fact, do any such thing. Know how I know? Because they haven’t actually released their tax plan!!!
Here’s a link to a random one – there are hundreds from all political stripes – the important point to takeaway is that there is NO SPECIFIC PLAN, bud.
If they were actually wanting to lower taxes on highest earners and at the same time decrease the deficit… what would go? The mortgage interest tax break? The employer healthcare tax break? (Who uses those? The middle class. Representing a tax increase for them.)
R&R have said nothing – ZERO – on the topic. They want us to “trust them”. I do not trust them. You apparently do. But you aren’t bright. We already knew that.
(PS – I have to change my ID because a certain troglodyte keeps trying to ban me – in that cute ‘i don’t get how the internet works’ way – for pointing out how stupid his posts are).
Jester –
Sources are sources. Everyone (everyone who isn’t a far-right lunatic, anyway) freely admits that R&R play fast and loose with the facts. Here’s one from Fox, if it makes you feel better.
Can you now get over yourself and admit that everyone< is making shit up?
(I know, I know, it is a terrible blow to your imaginary narrative… but c'mon here…)
yetanotherperson, so let me get this straight…
“R&R plan to lower taxes on billionaires and lower the budget gap/national debt at the same time” – So they have a plan and it is to lower taxes on billionaires…
But when I say “Romney & Ryan’s plan lowers taxes on TAXPAYERS” you suddenyl switch to THEY DON’T HAVE A PLAN!
So which plan were you talking about to begin with?
BTW yetanotherperson, the only person with the ability to ban anyone is THE OWNER OF THIS SITE. And it is obvious that he does not want you or your insipid posts here. So take a hint and leave!
Because obviously if we just raise taxes high enough, spending doesn’t matter at all.
The fact of the matter is that we would have to increase total tax revenues by 50% in order to pay for the current budget. Not the tax rate, actual realized revenues. This is after deductions, overhead, credits, the works. Not just on rich people either, that kind of increase would have to hit the entire tax base. Since entitlement spending is still growing exponentially and is about to skyrocket through Obamacare, you would still be in the hole again within five years.
The only rational solution is to cut spending and cut it dramatically. This is what Romney and Ryan plan to do. My main criticism is that they don’t have the spine to cut *enough*.
yetanotherperson says:,
Jester – Sources are sources.
Exactly. And the sources you have choosen to post here are on the far-left lunatic fringe.
So my point is this: How (and why) are any of us here supposed to listen to your hopelessly biased sources?
Nice try linking Fox news. However, your attempt to further the left-wingnut mainstream media imaginary narrative by labeling Fox as a right-wing source is yet another dismal failure. Why? The 800 lb gorilla in the living room is the fact that Fox, like all other mainstream sources, gets all their feeds from leftist sources (Reuters and the AP).
Yet another obvious fact you’re missing is that nowhere, I repeat, NOWHERE on this thread (or any other, for that matter) have I ever defended the Romney/Ryan campaign’s ability to tell the truth. You yourself injected that into our debate. Nice try.
You’re dismissed.
