No thanks. So you're not going to do it but dismiss the studies. What is the point of discussing it then?

Nope. I'd say the same thing if the "model" said the Republicans were more honest. It is an absurd thing to try and quantify. It depends entirely on the sample of statements that are judged, and what constitutes a lie and what doesn't.Again, you haven't even attempted to look how they rank truthfullness/lies but you are dismissing it.

Paul, let me say this...it is literally impossible to be a liberal, at least in terms of economic policy, if one is honest. Absolutely impossible. Look at what the Democrats have done to our cities in the last 40 years, and tell me that liberalism hasn't been a disaster. But they won't admit it.

Look at what's going on in Chicago, where they practically re-enact the Battle Of Antietam every weekend. Those people don't deserve something different, something better? Yet if I say that, liberals call me a racistThat is the latest dog whistle of the Rep. Claim that they are called racist. Say that enough and you eventually devaluate the word.. Does that count as a lie in those surveys?

How can you begin to refute that, if you are being honest? Let's hear it!
The road to prosperity is a blue state. For the most part the poor live in the cities and the cities are blue. Blacks on average are poorer than Whites. Blue states people have better health also. I think it comes down to the people in cities knowing that Repub. have no empathy or compassion for the poor.
