Why do conservatives lie so much?

============

Liberal bloggers have uncovered a staff member to Rep. Charles Bass (R-NH) using government computers to make fake posts on liberal blogs in New Hampshire, today's ROLL CALL reports.

Heard on The Hill columnist Mary Ann Akers has authorized RAW STORY to reprint the full registration-restricted item below:

Liberal bloggers in New Hampshire busted an aide to Rep. Charles Bass (R-N.H.) who was posing as a liberal blogger on such blogs as Blue Granite, NH-02 Progressive and others. Bass’ office admitted culpability to HOH and said the staffer would be “appropriately disciplined.”

The unnamed aide to Bass — who, like many others in his party, faces a tough re-election fight — was routinely trolling liberal New Hampshire political blogs calling himself “IndyNH” and more commonly IndieNH, pretending to be a progressive.

Finally, after noticing that lots of things he said just didn’t add up, a couple of the bloggers traced IndieNH’s IP address to the House of Representatives.

"Why do conservatives lie so much?"

The answer is simple. The same reason women have to buy stuff when it's "on sale": It's in their goddamn DNA.
(paraphrasing Gallagher)

I forgot to log in, but that was my "guest" comment above, and I want credit for saying that about conservatives. And this too:

To hell with all of them!

Cheep shot, Baber - women buy things on sale to save money - not all of us have "Gracie Allen" genes (buy stuff that's on sale, because it's on sale, whether or not we need it). You could have just as easily said same reason high school kids drink.

Actually, it's the same thing that is showing up in high schools and colleges - the emphasis on visable result (test grades and GPA) has led to widespread cheating. Not only do conservatives believe the end justifies the means (lying and cheating), but they have a very perverted idea of what the end is (money and power are apparently the only things they count). You can't buy a cup of coffee with truth, honor, patriotism, or faith - but you can buy a cup of designer coffee - and a heck of a lot more - with the money made from other people's truth, honor, patriotism, and faith.
