The Bigger The Lie The Better

A common axiom in propaganda and political manipulation is if you're going to tell a lie tell a big one and tell it often and the people will come to believe it. Most all of Congress people and the President understand this theory thoroughly and sadly seem to use it often and the media just reports the lies without ever doing serious investigation.

Examples: ACORN: their relationship to Obama, where they're getting their money, what they're doing with it, the misdirection of saying that our spending and borrowing are unstainable and then turning right around and saying therefore we need to take over healthcare, etc. Our leaders and the media understand this principle all too well but apparently Nancy Pelosi doesn't really get the principle. It seems that she has no problem telling different stories meaning that at least some of what she's doing must be lying, but in her case though the stories/lies become every more fantastic she forgot the second part of the principle. That you have to tell the SAME lie often. If you keep changing what you're saying no one will believe you because you are not sticking to the story. For a lie to be believed you have to stick to it once you've told it.

It is suprising that she was ever able to get to the position she's in seeing she doesn't understand this principle. It's possible that before this she thought all she had to do was say nasty things about Bush and put down the war on Iraq and the people would be with her. She has rarely said anything of substance. She's been more like a cheer leaders spouting the party line in the most outrageous terms possible and trust the media to back her up on them. Even the media is not willing to stand behind her on these things now. Sooner or later even the media can't continue to back something as outrageously out of step as the statements of Nancy Pelosi have been.

What she's been saying has been even beyond the crazy things, Diane Feinstein, Barbara boxer and Lynn Woolsey say. I have to admit I was half surprised they haven't come to her aid publiclly defending her for the things she's been saying.

When are we going to start getting people to represent us who will be moral and honest people. Why we have leaders who don't believe in capitolism and are so quick to give up on it is a mystery to me and it should be something that angers every American. If these leaders think socialism is so good why change our system? Why not just move to a country that already has it. They have plenty of money and can certainly move anywhere they want so let them go to some other country but leave our system alone.

We need to get these extremist out of office. We need to get rid of the people who are more concerned about their power and what their party thinks than what the American people want. In California we pass a law defining marriage and it gets overruled by some judges. Then we pass a contitutional amendment and the judges are trying to say what is now constitutional is not constitutional. These people need to go.
