Here we are neck deep in election season and the amount of lies piling up could probably reach the top of Mount Everest! I can’t remember an election season with so many blatant lies. Usually these attacks revolve around voting record and lies ending with the record of the day said particular vote was done. Due to the fact Donald Trump is President half of the country has lost their ever loving minds.
Let’s start in the 2008 election. President Obama called John McCain a racist with no concrete evidence to back it up. Fast forward four years, President Obama was at it again, calling Mitt Romney a bigot. Romney is from Utah and a Mormon. In both cases neither of the Republican candidates defended themselves or went after President Obama. They just sat back and let the President and the media run all over them. It’s been almost four years of the media and Democrats spewing lies after lies after lies about President Trump. The difference is President Trump learned from the previous mistakes and has been on the offence ever since he announced he was running for President.
Let’s mention some of the lies about President Trump. He is a racist. There is a mountain of evidence against this falsehood. The Charlottesville hoax of him supporting white supremacists, the video was edited to show that view. The military being called idiots and losers. Well his staff all came forward and denied this claim from an anonymous source. We can’t forget the whole impeachment scam based on a phone call, remember Adam Schiff knew what President Trump was actually saying. The actual only true lie CNN has on President Trump is he said he was a guest on Oprah’s show during the last week, he wasn’t.
Let’s talk about Joe Biden’s lies. During the last debate he said nobody lost their healthcare coverage when Obamacare was signed into law. Actually 2.5 million to 5 million Americans lost their coverage. He also has said in campaign stops he would not ban fracking, at the debate Joe said he would work away from oil and fracking. He has said in the last week that the boilermakers union is supporting him, the union head came out and said they did not support Joe Biden.
In the last week a political action committee, Future Forward has been airing commercials in support of Joe Biden, in it four doctors talk about how President Trump failed America in regards to the coronavirus. He didn’t listen to experts and didn’t have a plan. Apparently Joe Biden has a plan! Well if you go to JoeBiden.com obviously you get to a donation page first. After multiple attempts to just go to the website I get there, I look for the Joe Biden plan. I don’t know if you could call it a plan, I would call it regurgitated information or political rhetoric. Social distance, mask, blah, blah, blah! One of the doctors in the commercial, Dr. Thomas Fishbein says we need new leadership. Well this particular doctor has nothing to do with infectious diseases, don’t we have Dr. Fauci? Dr. Fishbein is a transplant and abdominal specialist. A quick google search and from Vox I find. A little-known Democratic super PAC backed by some of Silicon Valley’s biggest donors is quietly unleashing a torrent of television spending in the final weeks of the presidential campaign in a last-minute attempt to oust President Donald Trump! One of the donors is the co-founder of Facebook, go figure!
Here is my take. We should change the name of politician to professional liar, let’s call them what they are, bullshit artists or any other name of the sort. I voted for Donald Trump because he is not a politician, that is why they hate him. We need to continue to vote for non politicians, hopefully they continue to come forward. When Donald Trump said we need to drain the swamp, most of us put the onus on him. We have found out he needs help, it is going to be a citizenry thing not just the President. Lies are a means to an end for a politician. We need to make it so the lies are not worth the purported end result, power or money. The first step to end the mountain of lies is to do your own research and vote those liars out of office.
