John Oxendine Is An Ignorant Liar[ June 18, 2009 – 6:27 pm]by Jeff Posted in » 2010 Campaigns

John Oxendine tweeted this morning at 11:14am that he was ‘Honored to be in lead of GMA Poll’.

The problem is, I got an email that I’m putting at the bottom of this post at 10:22am and which has already been put up on his own site. In it, Ox put the results of this poll – but he put the results out of numeric order for the Republicans, leaving them in order for the Democrats.

The reason for this rearrangement? The Republican side of the poll shows UNDECIDED as leading with 31%, with Ox coming in at second with 25%.

So John Oxendine clearly doesn’t understand elemetary school math that 31 is greater than 25.

AND John Oxendine has NO qualms about lying to us if he can manipulate something to his advantage in a headline.

Therefore, John Oxendine is an ignorant liar.

Whether you have read the book or not, you are invited to come out and learn about the Federal Reserve and make new friends.

So Obama’s “Small Government”?[ June 18, 2009 – 8:00 am]by Tom Posted in » National

In a recent interview with the Wall Street Journal, President Obama offered up this little gem that should really clear things up for all of us:

I think the irony — and you wouldn’t know this from reading your publication’s editorial page — (laughter) — is that I actually would like to see a relatively light touch when it comes to the government.

A “relatively light touch”? Thank God for that! Read More …
