Have you seen the "Mitt Romney - 'Why don't airplane windows open'", "Scott-Brown-Elizabeth Warren Debate tonight, Brown tried to weasle (sic) out", "Block the Vote-College Edition" and "Senate Republicans just killed the Veteran's Jobs Bill" threads? And that is just in the last couple of days.

Yeah, glad you brought that up - it's a good time to review the difference between "a fact" and "disingenuousness".

Fact: "A thing that is indisputably the case."

Fact: Mitt Romney said he didn't know why airplane windows opened.

Fact: Scott Brown tried to avoid the debate by claiming he couldn't attend due to senate voting (false there were senate votes remaining that night).

Fact: Students are indeed being targeted to disqualify their student ID's (laws provided)

Fact: Senate Republicans did vote to block the Veterans Job Bill (voting record causing this exists)

Was any of the above lies, or "disingenuine"? No. It was all factual truth.

Is it a fact that President Obama called the Ambassador's death a "bump in the road"? No. That's false

Fact: Who cares what Romney thinks about airplane windows

Fact: Scott Brown was willing to do the job he was elected to do over participating in a debate.

Fact: The Voter ID issue is a canard designed to pad the voting rolls with illegal votes to help Democrats win tight races like they did with Al Franken.

Fact: Senate Republican's only blocked the vote because the law the Democrats tried to bait them with was in violation of the Budget Control Act. Further fact, Harry Reid refused to even introduce the Republican's version which did comply with the Budget Control Act. Further fact, the Republican's were willing to go with the Democrat's proposal as is but only if the Democrat's were willing to find an amount of budget cuts which would offset the increase the Democrat's proposal would add to the deficit to comply with the Budget Control Act.

See, you can form opinions based upon facts, but you cannot dispute the facts.

Fact is not opinion. Thanks for agreeing.

So why you compared facts as being equivalent to non-fact is ... well, must be a lawyer thing. It is indeed not genuine.

Which begs the very question you failed to answer - but proves the question was valid in it's observation: "Is anyone who leans right on this board capable of being genuine in their postings?"

This is just complete nonsense from you, but what else would anyone expect. Yes the first is an opinion, but of course, what else would it be in response to a thread you posted with your trivial stupid opinion?

What is not factual about the other three things I listed? That was just a sampling of just a few days of the proof that you provide that those on the far left are just as bad, if not worse, as those on the far right with some of the nonsense they espouse in favor of their candidate.

So your point is Riot is as bad as you guys?

Isn't the goal to NOT be like the person you despise? Who knew your goal was to be as bad.

Mission Accomplished!

Since when have I been on the far right? Please don't tell me she is not on the far left and never puts up false information.

You really can't justify that everyone posting on the left has all genuine threads, can you? Why don't you start with the suggestion that the Republican's refused to bring the Veteran's Bill for a vote because they don't care about veterans.

Well I care what Romeny thinks about airplane windows because if he actually asked this question then he is too stupid to run the country.

"It was also interesting to see that political interaction in Europe is not that different from the United States Senate. There's a lot of -- I don't know what the term is in Austrian, wheeling and dealing." Obama --confusing German for "Austrian," a language which does not exist, Strasbourg, France, April 6, 2009.

Everyone says something stupid from time to time, I am sure I can find 10 or 20 more stupid things Obama has said. Is what Romney said worse than this quote, particularly when you are the person in charge of foreign affairs who is considered the leader of the free world?

that's dumb, but not roll down the windows on an airplane dumb. not even close. also not as dumb as saying that a guy worth a quarter of a billion dollar should pay a lower effective tax rate than someone working and making 50k a year.

How about this gem of Obama's. You want a President who doesn't know the number of States there are in the country?

"I've now been in 57 states -- I think one left to go." --at a campaign event in Beaverton, Oregon

As I said, everyone says something dumb and this is dumber than the airplane windows as it actually relates to the job he is doing. There are plenty more. But to focus the election on a couple of dumb statements that everyone makes from time to time is just looking for an issue that doesn't exist.

Give me an honest dope over a hypocritical con-man any day. Especially a dope who is so generous with his own money and so conservative with others'. He's the 'opposite George' of Obama.
