There's nothing "blatant" about it. You haven't even provided enough evidence to make case, much less claim it to be "blatant".
And I've exposed your (and the rest of the GOP's) hypocrisy on this issue. Your sanctimonious stance that any-lie-is-intolerable only counts when a Democrat is in office. You wrote in two different posts:
Quote:The "What difference does it make" excuse may fly with you....but it doesn't fly with everyone. This was a big deal and trying to down play it only appeals to the locksteppers.
...I don't see a need for a lie. I see a lie.
So, your stance is that any lie, no matter how insignificant or inconsequential is intolerable, correct?
This is why the GOP impeached Clinton for lying about a blowjob. Sure, it's a personal matter. Sure, it has nothing to do with his performance as president. That's not the point. The point is he lied! HE LIED! HE LIIIIEEEEEED! Impeach him now!
When Clinton was in office, "even the appearance of impropriety" was to be rigorously investigated. Today, the GOP and supporters like you have dusted off the Clinton playbook and run the program once more.
When a Republican is in office, that high standard goes away and is replaced with "how dare you question the president in a time of war" and "don't say 'lie' you petulant shrill verbal bomb-thrower". People like you couldn't care less that W Bush lied us into a war that cost (long list of costs in lives, fortune and credibility goes here). Investigation was frowned upon. Impeachment was laughed at.
Now a Democrat is in office and the GOP flip flops back to the even-the-appearance-of-impropriety standard without a moment of shame. People like you, in a heartbeat, flip a switch and suddenly you're pretending to be sanctimonious about any alleged lie, no matter that you admit it makes no difference.
This isn't about prosecuting dishonesty. If it were, the same standard would apply to both parties. This is all about politics. But you won't admit that.
You...
Are...
A...
Hypocrite!
And hypocrisy is a form of dishonesty, just to add to your hypocrisy. You hypocritically claim that you can't stand dishonesty. This is hypocrisy squared.
You haven't just broken the ninth commandment, you've shattered it.
Live with that.
