Why, Gene, do you only bring up liars in the republican party, and ignore democrat liars?

I use the example of the incessant lies of Rove, Bush, Cheney, et al, because that was the first time I saw the practice in such blatant disregard of any dissenting information. I found the justification for the Iraq Invasion to be the most egregious example of repeating lies ad nauseam.

I read that there are still people who believe that Sadaam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction, that he was ready to strike us with atomic weaponry, that he was behind the planes flying into the twin towers.

Yes, it does matter who is repeating lies. When the president and the vice president are repeating lies to justify the invasion of a sovereign country, knowing full well the enormous human and economic costs and knowing that wars always bring unintended consequences, well, yes, it damn well matters.
