Ends justifying the lies
November 5th, 2009 - Written by Joey
So if a Democrat hears an alternative health care reform proposal but the media doesn’t report it, does the alternative proposal cease to exist?
Robert Gibbs, commenting on today’s protests in Washington against the Democrat’s health care reform plan:
“I think anybody that watches is struck by the fact that there’s a rally going on without a solution on their side[...]“
How can he just blatantly lie like that and get away with it? Leftists, if you’re out there reading this, please explain to me how the President’s press secretary can communicate something so patently false to the people of this nation and still maintain any semblance of credibility? Obviously, he and his boss don’t believe they can win this argument on merit, so they’ve instead resorted to out-and-out lies–which the media reports without questioning. What other reason could there be?
There have been alternative solutions a-freakin-plenty coming from Republicans, Libertarians, and conservative organizations in general. I’ve listed several of them on this blog…over and over and over again. Unfortunately, those alternatives do nothing to expand the voting base of the Democrat Party, so there’s not a chance in hell of any alternatives being passed.
The bigger issue, here, is that the Democrats and the Obama Administration believe so strongly in their agenda that they will spout out-and-out lies, and use ‘ends justifying means’ scenarios which include suppressing the real arguments which must happen in order to turn out the best possible piece of legislation–for all people. They’re so concerned with staying in power, and so sure of their higher intelligence (and the American people’s lack thereof), that they will use deceit to ram what they believe is best for us (or them) down our throats.
It’s insulting.
Kudos to the protesters, by the way, and to Michelle Bachmann (R-MN) for putting the tea party together.

Great post. I have also wondered how they can tell the lies that they tell, but more importantly, I have wondered when people are going to wake up and realize they have been lied to. I don’t hold my breath – there are too many sheeple in this country who can’t think for themselves.
