October 20 - Monday Quote

Let's be honest, all politicians stretch the truth; but modern Republicans have gone beyond stretching into complete fabrication.  Some, like Representative Tom Cotton (R-Arkansas) candidate for the U.S. Senate, have acknowledged their untruths with a shrug, as though truth has no value.  

Unfortunately, we have an entire segment of our population who are too lazy or too incompetent to check the veracity of their political representatives.  Present them with facts and they will repeat the lie back to you.  Present them with concrete proof and they will see it as a conspiracy.

Today's quote is for them and those who continue to try to reach them.
