It’s time people started highlighting just how often progressives lie. They lie about people. They lie about events. If their lips are moving, especially during campaigns, it’s likely that they’re lying. This video provides proof of progressives’ propensity for lying:
Here’s what Robert Reich said during the campaign:
ROBERT REICH: First, you can forget about the minimum wage. They (Republicans) refuse to raise it even though most minimum wage earners are adults, breadwinners for their families and they need a raise.
It’s verifiably false that most people earning the minimum wage are “breadwinners for their families.” That’s an outright lie. Reich wasn’t done lying. Later, he said this:
Here’s the transcript:
REICH: Third, you can forget our crumbling roads and bridges and pipelines. Republicans won’t invest in what it takes to repair them, even though it would put millions back to work. And letting our infrastructure costs jobs.
The only legislation that the House took up was Bill Cassidy’s bill to force President Obama to build the Keystone XL Pipeline. That was 2 weeks ago today. It passed with overwhelming bipartisan support. The identical bill was submitted by Sen. Landrieu, the woman Cassidy will replace in January. Every Republican senator voted for Sen. Landrieu’s bill. Unfortunately, the vote failed because three-fourths of Democrat senators voted against the bill.
Further, Republicans support building roads and bridges. It’s just that they’re opposed to pouring billions of dollars into light rail boondoggles. Democrats support light rail in sparsely populated parts of the nation, preferring them to upgrading roads and bridges.
The rest of the video is filled with lies, too, but I’ll just recommend you watch the full video rather than transcribing each lie individually:
another dead-in-the-head rich liberal (net worth over $4 million) try to convince us that we should give our money to the centralized regime so they can control us. Hey Bobby stop already.
The problem is, they don’t SEE it as lying. To a liberal, the truth is whatever they say it is, at the time they say it, and has no bearing at all on what they might have said 5 minutes ago, or will say 5 minutes from now. They have the amazing ability to hold two (or more) completely contradictory thoughts in their heads at one time. They see the world not as it is, but as they believe it ought to be. Worse yet, they believe that saying aloud what reality should be makes it so. You can call them misinformed or even delusional, but to lie one needs to know the truth, and these folks don’t live in the same world you and I do.
Jerry, you’re right about Democrats’ ‘capabilities’. It’s our responsibility to highlight that to normal people. HINT: It doesn’t play well with rational people.
So very true, both that the Dems lie all the time and that they really believe their own bs. Personally I don’t think Obama even knows what he is saying most of the time as his verbal diarrhea of the mouth seems automatic. He just doesn’t care at all whether he is truthful as long as he gets to his final goal of “transforming” the country. Ok, here is a shameless plug for a post I wrote very recently on lying and obamaCare, hope you don’t mind but I think it compliments yours,

Gary:
A comment you should’ve advertised and provided a translation for. During his comments on why unemployment benefits should be extended he talked about people who hadn’t gotten a job since the great recession ended.
Doesn’t this mean Obama and the Democrats talk about how they got the economy roaring again that they didn’t?
Doesn’t this mean that thanks in part to extra costs supplied by healthcare and increasing the minimum wage where raised that employers can’t afford to hire somebody?
Um nine million people have gotten insurance since Obamacare passed. I thought that bill was suppose to give over 40 million insurance immediately. If you lied on that bill what else could you be lying about.
