Republicans reinvent math in order to claim health care reform increases deficit



| Reddit | Tumblr | Digg | FARK

When the numbers don't add up to the way you want, simply adopt a new form of math.

And who's behind this new math? The Koch brothers, of course, and their creepy friends at George Mason university, also funded by the Koch brothers.

You have to hand it to the Republicans, if you don't mind lying, then politics can be quite fun.  You get someone who has a title next to his name to just make up a lie, then have Limbaugh, Fox, the religious right, and the more extreme GOP members in Congress (aka the entire GOP leadership) repeat the lie ad infinitum until the media writes about it as a kind of he-said-she-said, implying that it might just be true.

Not only is our side more uncomfortable lying (which is a good thing), we outright stink at adopting a larger coordinated messaging strategy, in part because our guys are always too afraid to use the hard-hitting message that's needed, lest we appear "mean."

So get ready for GOP math, coming to a school new you (that already teaches GOP science).
