Democrat senate majority leader videotaped lying about his own statements
Democrat senator Harry Reid is the majority leader of the senate. As such he'd probably be considered the second-ranking leader of the Dem party after Obama.
On February 26th Reid was videotaped addressing the assembled senate--by CSPAN--and stating that ALL of the ghastly storied being told by people whose health insurance had been cancelled by the issuing company--due to the deliberate, intentional language of the ludicrously-misnamed "Affordable Care Act" (Obamacare)--were "lies." Tales "made up out of whole cloth"--which for younger readers has long been a genteel way of saying lies.
Three days ago--exactly one month after he was captured on tape calling ALL of these stories "lies"-- Reid addressed the Democrat-controlled senate again, saying...that he *never* said the horror stories about Obamacare were lies.
A lot of Americans don't believe *anyone* would actually be brazen enough to stand before his fellow senators--and the cameras--and deny saying something he was videotaped saying just a month earlier. I had a hard time believing it myself. But here he is:
But then it occurred to me that Democrats have grown accustomed to operating this way: Say something, then later deny you ever said it...because they absolutely know they can count on two things to give 'em cover: First, a Democrat-loving mainstream media, which can be counted on not to report Democrat lies.
Second, the fact that most people don't have any idea how corrupt and morally bankrupt the Democrat leadership is, and thus are inclined to doubt that such a high-ranking Dem leader could ever actually lie so brazenly.
Thus Bill "Slick Willy" Clinton, when asked--in a videotaped deposition--whether he had ever had a sexual relationship with Monica Lewinski--felt comfortable dodging the question by saying something as nutty as "It depends on what the meaning of is is," and feel confident he wouldn't get raked over the coals for more than a couple of days for insulting everyone's intelligence with such a non-response.
He knew that flatly lying in a sworn deposition would cost him nothing, because his friends in the Democrat media would roll out defense talking points like "He was tricked." Or "It was just about sex...and *everyone* lies about sex!"
And stupid, low-information voters would laugh and nod and that would be the end of it.
Which, of course, is exactly how it turned out.
Sometimes I forget that all my college students were all of five years old when Slick was shown to have lied under oath. They can't believe it could have happened. Surely, they say, the American people would never put up with a president who would lie so brazenly to them!
But hey, how can anyone expect college students to know anything about government or recent history? After all, it's not in the textbooks. And the media sure as hell doesn't utter a word about it. So as far as they're concerned, it never happened.
In five more years no one under the age of 30 will believe that Obama ever said "If you like your health insurance you can keep your health insurance. Period."
