    What you claim to be lies is nothing more than your opinion based on your own assumptions. The proper thing to do is present actual facts that show/or back your claim, not your inferring of things that you think back up your statements.

    but the scotus refused to help them out of their case which punishes them for cheating voters.

    so you deny the SCOTUS refused to help the republican party out of a court ordered consent decree which watches them to prevent them from disenfranchising voters?

    you cant deny reality

    The Supreme Court refused to lift a consent decree that bars the Republican National Committee from targeting racial and ethnic minorities in its fight against voter fraud.

    The Supreme Court refused to lift a consent decree that bars the Republican… (Caroyln Kaster / Associated…)


    WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court has refused to lift a 30-year consent decree that bars the Republican National Committee from targeting racial and ethnic minorities in its efforts to end fraudulent voting.

    The justices without comment turned down an appeal from RNC lawyers who said the decree has become “antiquated” and is “increasingly used as political weapon” by Democrats during national campaigns.

    Seems pretty straightforward enough.It depends is the overall answer.
    If a Newspaper says someone " Lied " and it can't be proven w/o a
    shadow of a doubt,then a Libel lawsuit is in order.Then the Libel case
    has to prove harm or damage to ones career,earnings or personal life.
    In Politics the bar is much higher.Since many if not a majority of Elected
    official also have law degrees,it is not prudent to run around calling a fellow
    Politician a " Liar ". Plus the House and the Senate have protocol as to
    rules of conduct.Calling one a Liar could be an Ethics violation.Meaning
    it is unethical to toss around that charge { Liar } even if true.
    Which brings us to one Lawrence O'Donnell who has made a career at MSNBC
    doing just that.No one uses the words " Lie " Lies " and " Liar " more than little
    pesky troublemaker Lawrence.I have actually heard him in discussion using
    the phrase " That's a Lie " " He's Lying " about a dozen times in the space
    of a few minutes.He did while debating Pat Buchanan on - Hardball -
    a couple years before MSNBC canned Buchanan. Pat is very professional
    and seldom ever calls another a " Liar ". O'Donnell does it at the drop of a hat.
    So often it's absurd.
    meaning there is a double standard baked into cake as far as using the word
    " Lie " or " Liar ". Liberals actually think they have poetic license to own
    the rights as to how use of " Liar " or " Racist " apply.
    Which of course isn't merely absurd but as Unamerican as offering
    Pie instead of Cake at ones Birthday.
    Do the Math.

    We won't take your guns.
    Obamacare will fix things.
    We just want to protect people.
    Liberals are tolerant.
    Israel commits war crimes.
    It's Bush's fault.
    It's Obama's fault.
    All conservatives are racist and bigoted.
    All liberals are tolerant.
    Liberals are not racist.
    Slavery is freedom.
    War is peace.
    It's Bush's fault.
    It's Obama's fault.
    Liberals are tolerant.
    liberals aren't racist.
    Guns are evil.
    It's okay to crap on the constitution for the greater good.
    The government has to take care of everybody.
    Income inequality.
    Fox News is bad.
    Rock And Roll is Satanic.
    Liberals are tolerant.
    God is loving and kind.

    " You are incorrect, and even though you obviously know it...you seem to wish to continue being incorrect while expecting everyone else to accept it."

    .....a bit PC but at least you will not get dinged.

    Against Lying

    " All sin is a form of lying.
    Lying is forbidden even for the salvation of herectics.
    Since,then, eternal life is lost by lying,a lie may never be told
    for the preservation of the temporal life of another.
    Lying is wrong even to save chastity. "
    -- Saint Augustine

    Can one be an honest Liar ? .That is the theory behind use of
    a - White Lie - { a minor or unimportant lie; esp. one uttered
    in the interest of tact or politeness,or in diplomacy. }
