How is this D&ST worthy?
Yes, politicians lie. It is what tehy are known for. But they make political lies, they keep things from us (most of the time,we dont really want to know these things anyway), they tend to make a lot of false promises, but that is all standar politics and were all used to it and can look past the bullshit (unless youre an absolute idiot).
This man did not make any standard political lies. he went up there and stated what he believed to be statistical facts and used them to aid his campaign. These facts are 100% wrong. There is no room for discussion, it is not subjective it is simply wrong and he is coming across a retard because he is making these public claims.
And frankly, i find it hilarious.

One thing I love about this election cycle is watching GOP candidate's groups bring up dirt on Ron Paul. I could spend all day posting hypocrisy, lies, and other crazy shit about Ron "the rational savior of America" Paul.

Romney isn't like the other candidates. He is more like Obama than any of the current candidates. Probably closer to Obama than he is to most of the other GOP runners. Newt is a mercenary who would say and do anything for profit.

Paul and Santorum are the crazy/stupid ones.

Kampf, they're all for big government. Gimme some Laissez-Faire and no more welfare crap. California made 754 new laws that started January 1st, we don't need that many laws. This country has the most prisoners per capita than any other country and it costs 23,000 dollars to hosue one prison for a year.

And above your tomb, the stars will belong to us.

we have the government we deserve. we're a vapid culture that spends our money on mindless entertainment and/or get rich/to heaven schemes. most people seem to find george jetsons job to be about as much as they can handle. this aint just america either, the whole 'developed world' is like rome under nero.

I can't shake the feeling that Santorum came completely out of left field onto the media stage. Smells like a diversion to me. Not that I have high hopes for any potential Republican ticket anymore. They've all made themselves look like assholes.

I would've supported Romney over Obama, but perhaps that's not going to happen. Too bad Ron Paul couldn't have swung more support.

Santorum is Rupert Murdoch's candidate of choice. That's why he's vaulted into the lead.

Santorum is the 11th--11th--candidate to be ahead of Romney in the polls.

Just think about that for a second, fellas (non-gender-specific, politically correct "fellas"). There have been 10 other candidates so far who were going to "beat Romney". How'd that work out for them?
