Real Political Lies of the Year for 2010

     Politifact.com recently announced its 2010 Political Lie of the Year.  What did they come up with?  The Republicans going around saying that the health care bill is a "government take over of health care".  Really?!  That is the biggest "lie" of the year?  Not if you ask a majority of the American people.  We the People, have rejected this bill hands down.  The Democrats failed to sell the bill to their constituents.  They lost the political debate and now the purchasing mandate has been found unconstitutional by the courts.  I argue that the politifact.com saying that the republicans are lying about saying it is a govenment takeover is a lie in itself.  So congrats, Politifacts, you have lied about your biggest lie.  Ironic, really.
      How can saying "it is a government takeover" be a lie?  Well, unless you consider a multi-thousand page bill of regulations and mandates on the health care industry, not to be taking over anything.  Really, politifacts?
   
Well, to help set the record straight, Keith Price Is Right has created its own top 5 political lies of 2010.

5.  President Obama promising transparency (seriously, please explain to me how he has been transparent?)
4.  Democrats character attacks on the "witch" Christine O'Donnel. 
3.  Keith Olberman saying "there is no Ground Zero Mosque" (nice try)
2.  President Obama claiming that the health care bill (cost of a trillion dollars or more) will reduce the deficit
1.  Nancy Pelosi on election day saying "Our outlook to hold onto the House looks good" (one may call it saying what she had to say, but when you KNOW it's not true and you still say it, that is called a LIE)

Final thought of the year:  We learned a lot during this year about the last 10 years.  We learned that (according to Obama) the Bush tax cuts are good for an economy...who knew?!?  And, with Obama all but declaring victory in Iraq, the surge worked, so again, WAY TO GO BUSH!  I think the biggest lie of the decade was the hideous attacks on President Bush.  After two years of Obama, we still have Gitmo open for business and we have the most stringent searches of our privacy at the airports in the history of the TSA.  All of this UNDER OBAMA!!  So again, Bush era tactics towards terrorism have been continued for the most part and it has kept us safe...again, THANKS PRESIDENT BUSH.

Wecome 2011 and our system of Checks and Balances!
