1. Because he's a lying liar? Just a guess.

2. Factual information is like 'teh gay' to Bill O
Can't be seen or heard to be around it, or your upstanding career suffers.

5. Just another example of Bill-O talking through his butthole.
When he's not lying he just makes stuff up.

10. Fuzzy Math
He must be counting Obama's seat, too. I mean, it's not like the guy would make up shit as he goes along, or anything.

16. He'll love it there being that Ireland has turned into a really liberal

12. Bill O is still using the math they used in FL in 2000 and Ohio in 2004
This is the kind of math that always adds up to put thugs in office, or explain why they were cheated out of it.

15. Because he doesn't fact check. It would have if the run off election in Georgia
would have given us a Democrat, but it didn't and if the two Independents caucused with the Democrats, but although I know Bernie Sanders will, Lieberman is iffy.

18. What else did he have to say?
Usually when the RW is telling an obvious lie they are trying to drum up some of that phony outrage they are so well known for. Perhaps O'Lielky is trying to get the ditto heads all riled up so they can protest or something.
