"Ryan says only 30% of Americans are filthy welfare queens".

Where did he say this? Why is the Mercury allowing this dishonest garbage online? Not that the Merc is the all-knowing oracle of all that is right with the world. Still, have some fucking standards. Paul Ryan was talking about morality. Something liberals apparently know nothing about.

Liberals are definitely baby murdering terrorists, and I think this country is close to becoming so morally deviant that all children will learn in school is how to use contraceptives and make burritos.
Pat Robertson/Mitt Romney 2012!!! OR ELSE LORD HELP US ALL FROM THE IMMORAL LIBERALS!

Also, when I am looking for standards, I turn to fair and balanced fox news, not this dirt rag of a news outlet. UM, DUH!

Yet you didn't address the lie. Why is that? Is that what you consider "progressive"? Avoiding the truth? Smearing people? Not bothering to do your own independent research to better help you make an informed decision?

I don't have to watch Fox News to know Sam Adams lied to get elected and Portland liberals did nothing. That speaks volumes for their moral character. Or lack thereof. My only aim here is to inform morally grounded liberals and independents that you don't have to settle for the lies. Have and conscience and don't be a gutless sheep that votes along party lines because if you don't, you're a homophobic racist elitist who wants to kill puppies in the name of Allah. You can do better. Educate yourselves beyond these lying articles and biased media outlets and then decide the future you want for your country. Let's put these lying extremist liberals back in the hole from which they came.

Since when did democrats/liberals hold exclusive rights to lying and immoral character? If those are the only standards for voting, nobody would ever vote for anyone. Certainly not Romney and Ryan.

SJR, once again I have to ask what are the unbiased media outlets that provide you the clairavoyance to see past all of the lies that the sheep out there are falling for? Could you provide, say, five or more editorial-free examples of places people should go to get the truth?

Easy to say, Tyson. Much harder to prove. A double standard exists. Conservatives are held to a much higher standard than the apathetic "anything goes" new liberal liars.

Why don't hold your liars accountable instead of avoiding that unpleasantness? No? Why is that? I thought liberals believed in fairness? No? Not really. Not anymore.

These double standards are stupid and only lead to further division. That is why I say liberalism is truly a failed ideology. When you have no structure, you have chaos. When you have no moral compass, you have division. When you have no sense of decency, you create animosity.

I'm appealing to the old school liberals to police their own ranks or denounce them publicly for articles such as the one above. Such a simple little smearing lie. But a lie, nonetheless. Show me where Romney and Ryan have actually lied from an independent media source and I will consider your input. Other than that, the new liberal must understand that they are not to be trusted by people like me, a true independent, who is simply sick of all your fucking lies.

SJR, if you think it's bad here, your head might explode if you checked out the Seattle Stranger's blog (the Mercury's parent paper and where almost political post is taken from).

Easy to say, #StJohnsRules. Much harder to prove. A double standard exists. Liberals are held to a much higher standard than the apoplectic "fact checkers don't run our campaigns" Republican liars.

Why don't they hold their liars accountable instead of avoiding that unpleasantness? Why is that? I thought Republicans believed in personal responsibility? No? Not really. Not anymore.

These double standards are stupid and only lead to further division. That is why Romney and Ryan will lose this election. When you don't acknowledge reality, you have chaos. When you claim to have the only legitimate moral compass, you have division. When you have no sense of decency, you create animosity.

I'm appealing to the old school Republicans to police their own ranks or denounce them publicly for articles such as the ones we see on all media every day. Such obvious lies. Show me how "liberals" are a monolithic group that is actually represented in the two-party system and I will consider your input. Other than that, the Republicans must understand that they are not to be trusted by people like me, a rational human being, who is simply sick of all their fucking lies.

eprophet? More like e-dundant. Or e-rroneous. e-rectile dysfunction. e-man and the Bastards of the Universe! E-ra! The last one is truly fitting since you post like an 8-year old girl is watching you. Too bad that's the best you can do. Toooooo bad.

And if you are either too lazy or too fucking stupid to fill out a simple bio, you are banished to the dust bin of eternity. Forever more important people will pass you by whilst you languish in your own impotent prison. You will be pitied some and then forgotten. Like a poor dog run over in the desert.

@Spindles: Yeah. I'm aware of the parent company that gave birth to this bastard publication. Still, as representatives of their community, the Merc does bear some individual responsibility for the crap they put on here. In this case, it was an obvious, outright lie. You can always tell it was a liberal lie when you attract the droves of yellow-bellied sycophants so quick to divert attention from it and use it for a smokescreen ploy at pimping out their failed ideology. In that regard they are at the very least reliable. Other than that, they really do not harbor any sort of real redeeming quality. They simply exist to antagonize because they lack the soul to do any better in life. I'm glad they are that way because they deserve what they get. I'm just here to set the record straight and call bullshit on them. Portland deserves better than these fools. We need to clean some serious house and get back to the business of being bad-ass.

These clown shoes fit nicely today.

I'm not your mother. Find it yourself. Don't be so lazy and dumb. What a stupid fucking question to begin with. Not all questions deserve an answer or even the slightest bit of attention. I'm only saying this because you seem like the type of person that needs these simple things spelled out for you in minute detail. Trrrrrrrr...rrrrrrr.....yyyyyy.....haaaa....haaaaar....duh...duh.....der. Try harder. Yay!

So, you admit he lied? It's all good as long as it's a liberal. Right?

So tell me Rich, in your vast wisdom collected over years of obvious intellectual superiority over the masses, please, tell us all. Why do you people coddle liars? To pass your social policies? In that regard, it's a bogus victory and that always leads to division and resentment and eventual hostility. What you fuckers need to do is stop lying and stop using the government to force people to accept your trendy fucking causes as legitimate and go about changing the hearts and minds of people with class and reason. Until then, I will do everything in my power to call them on their collective bullshit and hold them accountable until they stop lying to everyone.

So you can divert the attention all you want, Rich. You're a good little lapdog for the establishment. But don't think for one hot minute you're fooling someone like me. I got your number and I will dial that ass up if you try that bullshit on me.

Peace love and goddamn unity!

I got kicked out the Boy Scouts for eating a Brownie.

I want to take this opportunity to thank Humpy for allowing my rare form of commentary to be outlandishly represented here today. He is watching. He is ALWAYS watching.

Love ya, Humpster.

ZZZZZZZ,,, snort. SNORT! Huh? WHAT??? Oh, sorry, I was just catching a nap. Now! Where is my marijuana bong?

Sorry, Steve - I had your bong.

I peed in it.
