THE BIGGEST DEFICIT THE LEFT HAS RUN UP AIN'T THE FEDERAL DEFICIT; IT'S THE TRUTH DEFICIT

THE LIES THEY'VE BEEN TELLING ABOUT THE TUCSON SHOOTING PROVE THAT THE LEFT CAN'T TELL THE TRUTH.

WHY?

BECAUSE THE TRUTH IS KRYPTONITE TO THE LEFT.

MOST OF THEIR NARRATIVES ARE COMPLETE BUNK: AGW; BUSH LIED; PLASTIC TURKEY: HERE'S AN OLD LIST

Bush stole Florida and the 2000 election.

Bush stole Ohio and the 2004 election.

Libby and the White House leaked Plame's ID to punish Joe Wilson.

9/11 was either an inside job, or the Bushies let it happen to allow them to perpetrate endless war.

The Turkey was plastic.

Bush lied about Saddam's WMD.

Democracy for Iraq and the Middle East was an afterthought conjured up by Rove to validate the war after the WMD's weren't found.

The Bush Tax Cut went mostly to the rich and hurt the economy.

Bush had the worst jobs record since Hoover.

Bush is a militarist and a unilateralist.

Bush is an anti-little people/pro-Big Business stooge despite passing the biggest increase in federal education spending and in Medicare spending - and his attempt to pass a expansive immigration bill - (all liberal projects).

Bush is in the back pocket of the Israel Lobby AND the House of Saud - simultaneously.

Bush said Saddam was connected to 9/11.

Bush used family influence to get into TANG and to get out, and this was covered up.

Bush said the words "yellowcake" and "Niger" in his 2003 SOTU.

Gitmo is a gulag.

There was torture at Abu Ghraib and it was Rumsfeld's fault.

Bush should have been attending soldiers' funerals like other presidents.

There was rampant looting of the Baghdad Museum right under the noses of US troops.

The Lancet report proved that we have killed 300 Iraqi civilians a week since the war began, and that this has otherwise gone completely un-reported.

The Patriot Act is the biggest infringement of civil liberties of all time - and it's unnecessary.

Canada and the UK and every other nation with taxpayer financed universal healthcare, have better healthcare than the USA.

45 million Americans are uninsured for healthcare, and this is a government disgrace which requires a government solution.

The MSM is biased IN FAVOR of Bush.

The Democrats won control of Congress because of the Iraq War.

There is no global war on terror or jihadist.

More:

• CO2 CAUSES GLOBAL WARMING.
• FANNIE MAE DIDN'T CAUSE THE REAL ESTATE BUBBLE.
• ACORN IS CLEAN.
• OBAMA IS A MODERATE.
• OBAMACARE WILL LOWER THE DEFICIT.
• THE TALIBAN SHOULD BE PART OF THE AFGHAN GOVERNMENT.
• ISLAM IS A RELIGION OF PEACE.

Even more:

• RELIGION IS THE OPIATE OF THE MASSES.

Er, um.. no, socialism is - and in the last century socialism killed more people than religion did in the previous 20 centuries - (well, er um... all religions except Islam, that is).

• ANTHROPOGENIC CO2 IS CAUSING UNPRECEDENTED AND SOON TO BE CATASTROPHIC GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE.

No again. Current warming is entirely within geological precedents which have no anthropogenic causes; global climate is always changing - and a warmer climate is actually beneficial for humanity.

• PEAK OIL WILL DESTROY THE GLOBAL ECONOMY; THEREFORE WE MUST FORCE PEOPLE AND BUSINESSES AND ECONOMIES TO SWITCH ENERGY SOURCES NOW - AND HIGHER TAXES WILL HELP.

Er, um... NOPE: there are more oil reserves now than ever - and we might never run out if oil is abiotic, which seems more and more likely.

• THE PROFIT SYSTEM AND PRIVATE ENTERPRISE ARE BASED ON GREED AND ARE INEFFICIENT AND IMMORAL.

Actually, the profit incentive and competition are what increase prosperity and value. When a monopoly controls a good or service then there is no incentive for improvement of quality or price. And when & where there are competing enterprises, there are more jobs and better wages. Therefore, the profit motive and free enterprise it is better for all people, both as consumers and workers.

• WE CAN REDISTRIBUTE WEALTH AND ELIMINATE POVERTY.

Redistributionist policies have never ever worked at anytime in any place. Socialism and the welfare state actually perpetuate poverty and dependence and decrease economic growth and diminish prosperity. "Red" China, the USSR, India, Cuba, North Korea, Zimbabwe and Sweden all prove this. If you really want to make poverty history then you have to make socialism history.

• MEDICARE AND MEDICAID WORK BETTER THAN PRIVATE INSURANCE.

Wrong again: Medicare and Medicaid run a 60 billion dollar deficit every year and much of that is fraud; this would never be possible if they were well run, but it is perpetuated because the taxpayer picks up the bill and not the "administrators" of the plan. Medicare and Medicaid are unsustainable. Liberals and leftist constantly harp and harangue about "sustainable" economies; they should start by making Medicare and Medicaid sustainable - (and if they can't they should allow for the ORDERLY transition to privatization over the next few decades).

• DISARMAMENT AND APPEASEMENT AND AN EMPHASIS ON DIPLOMACY AND MULTI-LATERALISM WILL DIMINISH INTERNATIONAL HOSTILITY AND INCREASE THE PEACE.

Yeah, sure: As if the League of Nations and the UN ever stopped a war. Really bad "players" never respect the rule of law or treaties and see weakness as an opportunity for adventurism and aggression. Peace comes though strength is a fact proven over and over again throughout human history. Appeasement has always increased the likelihood of war and its cost in blood and treasure.

YES: this is a partial listing!

THE LEFT CAN'T TELL THE TRUTH.

If the Left didn't lie, then they'd have nothing to say.
