Sorry about that. My bad. I got it wrong. I misread your post. Entirely my fault. My fault alone. No one but me.
I thought you posted- Why isn't it a problem *with* your opinion?
Nearly all politicians lie about something. This isn't exactly ground-breaking news. It's like crying so-n-so team cheated in recruiting! Well that's true, nearly all teams have recruiting transgressions. The Air Force Academy (how the hell can they cheat?) just got nailed...
Florida fans complain about Georgia, Georgia complains about Auburn who in turn complains about Bama who then complains about LSU who complains about .....and around we go. And I'm on the side of mocking and ignoring pathetic losers who only cry over those they don't like.
A guy who won a 2 year seat in the house just doesn't prompt me to scream on the wheel around. There are bigger, more powerful liars that do more damage to focus on if lying is the concern. If it's just a topic because (D) or (R), I'm not interested.
And your "opinion"?
It's unacceptable for a politician to lie about credentials that are used to influence people to vote for them.
I agree, in fact I can't believe there's many who disagree with that statement. But that doesn't mean anything. It has happened since the beginning of politics. What maters is the response. Is it only small potatoes that bothers you(this guy's the smallest)? Is it only politicians from a certain party? Is it only politicians who are targeted by hacktivists? Is this the guy that you're bravely planting your flag and declaring an opposition to politicians lying?

Con you make this thread make sense?
Being elected to congress is not small potatoes. I've seen a lot of elected officials lie about what they're intentions are once getting into office. I don't recall hearing about elected officials regularly lying about their credentials in order to get elected without it being called out. You're welcome to point out the personal credential lies that helped get every politician in that past get elected, but that doesn't make this less of a problem, just puts another spotlight on how shitty the system is. Even if the main stream media fails to do their jobs well, party makes no difference in this conversation.

He just lied about every meaningful professional and personal credential. No big deal according to our resident troll of the year Mr. Tin man.
Is his mom actually dead? Do we know for sure? Was she actually in her office in the tower on 9/11? Did she actually have cancer? Normally I wouldn't be flippant about something so serious, but this guy doesn't deserve the benefit of the doubt anymore.
The dude is a compulsive liar. Sure, there are liars all around congress and politics in general, but he has lied about everything he has used to get to where he is right now. He has twisted and contorted the truth or straight up blatantly lied with everything he has ever said.
It is truly indicative of how broken our political system is that a joke like this guy can get into office.

I believe she actually is deceased. I suppose it’s possible that she died of some 9/11 related cancer, if she even worked at one of the towers. That is maybe what he meant. Nevertheless, as you said with his track record he doesn’t deserve the benefit of the doubt.

Exactly. Anyone else, I wouldn't really care about it and give them the benefit of the doubt. A politician who lies? SHOCK.
This guy is a pathological liar to the point where even his own fellow GOP state congressional members are requesting he be investigated by the House ethics committee so they don't have to deal with the distraction he created.
There are then the people who lose their shit every time Elizabeth Warren gets in the news and promptly questions her Native American ancestry. Well this guy claimed he was a Jew and ran on that as a political platform, then admitted that he was raised catholic and jokingly called himself Jew-ish.
He looks like your typical privileged white guy living off of his parents and never had to do a day of work in his life. He gets a free ride up through Congress and never expects to be held accountable because he never was growing up as a kid. All of a sudden people are trying to hold him responsible for blatant ethics violations and he calls it an "all out attack by the radical left".

Both parties need to agree on a policy. Either both sides need to reject politicians who are fraudulent or both need to accept them. The one way street can't long endure.

That's a long list. It's almost as if he's singled out for a political attack.
Lol a shit ton of liberals are pissed about this guy. But this is embarrassingly common for out of touch fools like this guy. Conservatives are not popular so they have to lie about their platform, they don't have the qualifications so they embellish their resume. He's just doing what Walker and Oz did to a more extreme degree.
He'll get the pants beat off him in the next election if Dems can nominate anyone that is at least halfway competent.
Not really a good point to make. If Biden has anything, it's certainly a long resume for the job.
It shouldn't be his opponents fault that he lied so blatantly and obviously and is refusing to own up to it. The average GOP voter nowadays doesn't care enough that even if they caught him at it before the election, kooks would still vote for him to "own da libs". Hell, it probably would have been used to fuel his base because it would just be another attack by da libs leading up to the election.
That's what party politics has devolved into. Vote against your enemy rather than a qualified candidate. The GOP has lowered themselves to the level of Dems in choosing candidates this time around. If they actually put forward anyone by policy, they should have easily won 75% of both house and senate, but no. They got too confident thinking that any cartoon character with an R attached to their name would win swing votes and they could use them as puppets for a crooked agenda.

I forget if I said it in this thread or the other, but I am absolutely glorifying in Fetterman winning in PA because it has triggered the fuck out of all you Trumplodytes on here.
Now you have clear evidence of who the kook is.....

The constant generalization of an entire group of people that votes for one of the two major parties, in a political system where only one of those two can win, definitely isn't part of the problem.
