Republican voters won't care and half of America loves sticking their heads in the sand and believing whatever conventional wisdom says. And frankly since the political center has shifte right that's where conventional wisdom lies.
Every time we explain how each lie is incorrect people will just continue burying their heads. Every time I've done this the other person just says "Well that's not what I believe."
See, people in America have been trained that there are no facts, just beliefs. And no belief is any less valid than another. Just look at the insane religious beliefs we are told are just as valid as science.
Instead of explaining the facts behind every lie we need to simply say they are running on lies and ask why it is necessary for them to run on lies?
Make them have to explain how they aren't lying.
I have heard people saying more about Mittler being generally dishonest then speaking the specific facts.

(13,186 posts)They are basically falling in line and putting their own credibility in the hands of Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan. They want to win so badly that they are willing to accept outright lies from their own side. They are being tempted, and they are failing a major test of character.
