LOL.. you mean like romney did... overandoverandoverandover again he said "Day one, I'll repeal Obamacare" and he lost his ass for it..
problem is, along with no acceptance of 'irony' that Chuck and I were talking about.. they have no real memory (or shame) either. Because not 24 hours ago a panel on Fox was discussing how wrong Obama is to say that he was elected with a mandate on Obamacare because he never ran against anyone on Obamacare. romney never ran on it repealing it. Ryan never talked about repealing it.. the clusterfuck that was the GOP primary, hardly ever even mentioned Obamacare much less repealing it..
I shit you not.. this was discussed by the panel and all agreed that Obama was just lying to everyone because noone really understood that they'd get the ACA if they re-elected him.
That's the kind of abdication I'm talking about. It's bad enough when you agendize news, taking liberties with omissions or additions, playing with facts so it fits the narrative you're pushing...it's entirely another when you look straight into the camera or down at your keyboard for the *journalistic* piece you're about to write...and just lie. Lie without shame. Lie because you need the world to be exactly as you see it or wish it to be. Lie because you need others to see the world the way you see it or wish it to be. Lie because your desires trump all facts, all reality. Lie because that's what you were paid to do. It's beyond disgusting and reprehensible.
