Especially these:

"Lie #1: The financial crisis and joblessness is the fault of big government, of government regulation.
            Fact:  The financial crisis was caused by rich investment bankers and mortgage brokers trying to find a way to make a fast buck at the expense of ordinary Americans or small-fry investors. It happened because people in the financial industry are greedy and cannot be allowed to regulate themselves.

Lie #2: The financial crisis continues because of the failure of the Obama stimulus package and the increasing government deficit.
            Fact:  The Obama stimulus package, while not creating many new jobs, resulted in preventing the elimination of millions of jobs, especially state and local jobs.  This kept the country out of a second Great Depression.
            Fact:  Once the stimulus funds were spent, Republican-led efforts to slash the budget in order to cut the deficit have made the jobless crisis far worse by reducing support for state and local governments, causing increased unemployment in that area that the stimulus had prevented and stalling the recovery.
            Fact:  The deficit, while large and undesirable, is more of prac†ical concern to investors in government bonds, and interestingly rather than fleeing from US bonds, investors continue to flock to them as a safe haven in this volatile global financial market."

The lie that really gets me:

After seeing the chaos and suffering caused by austerity in places like Greece the GOP wants austerity here so that we don't become like Greece. How can they honestly say that if we follow the same path it will lead us elsewhere?

Please share my comments and yours with others. The most frustrating thing about all this is not so much the lies that Republicans spread, but that the Democrats, as usual, have been totally ineffective at countering those lies.

The list should have 700!!!!

My VERY first thought.....Only 7....Very very good....
