GOP congressman apologises for claiming he was a trained economist – after taking one class in which he got a C

[Tommy Tainant]

GOP congressman claimed he was an economist when he took one class and got a C

Yet another GOP liar. The GOP needs to look at its recruitment systems.
Over here we have this tool called Google. It gives you loads of info and enables you to check out when people are lying to you.

Still, nobody died and no puppies were stolen.

They don't have to be honest. Trump, Walker and Santos have proven that. Among others.

It seems that even trained economists never learned anything in school so his lies while lies didn't make him any less qualified.

Goes all the way back to Nixon and Reagan.

Politicians of both parties and in all countries have been known to fib from time to time.

This inconsequential white lie is a lot less egregious that telling someone "if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor"

I might point out this is the ONE lie from Obama the RWers always quote.

You're complaining about some low level GOP Congressman and the guy in the Whitehouse "misspeaks" on the regular and you dont care. His "embellishments" are so well known it's like people dont even notice them anymore. Even when he's told the things he's saying aren't true he keeps repeating them. How many times did he tell the "you couldnt own a cannon" story?

I might point out this is the ONE lie from Obama the RWers always quote.

This particular lie was repeated literally hundreds of times by Obama himself as well as all of his minions in the Lamestream Media and the world of politics.

A lot more times that the inconsequential exaggeration that this fellow is an economist.

As one who supported 90% of what Candidate Obama supported, I have pointed out the many lies told by President Obama.

Lobbyists, prosecuting bankers, not starting new wars, ending the old ones, closing Gitmo, etc.

While a big lie, I'm pretty sure he never repeated it literally hundreds of times.

yea because your party is so honest.....

Does that make a lie not a lie? You guys are just funny. A lie is a lie. Do we need to look up the definition? I don't think there is a Republican definition of a lie AND a Democrat definition. A lie is a lie. Even from Republicans. It is just the silly hypocrisy.

He likely didnt say that 100 times but I'd be willing to be it was repeated/replayed more than that.

Is English your second language? I clearly noted it was a big lie.

I think you need to check your training at the door.

A LOT more honest than republicans.........by far.

It was replayed many times.

I kept my doctor and insurance.

Did you not keep yours?

 

[pknopp]

I kept my doctor and insurance.

Did you not keep yours?

Many did not. Did you save $2500?

yea if you are a democrat you would think that...they both lie and even now are mostly full of shit....

I'l just leave this here
