Now THIS is how you deal with a lying Mitt Romney surrogate!

Courtesy of Mediaite:

“I understand that this is a Republican talking point because I’ve heard it repeated over and over again,” said O’Brien after Sununu insisted the Romney and Ryan plans were different. “And these numbers have been debunked, as you know, by the Congressional Budget Office.” 

“No they haven’t,” said Sununu. 

“Yes, they have,” answered O’Brien. 

“I have the Congressional Budget Office Budget report right here,” Sununu said, waving it on camera. “Go read page 13 and 14.” 

“I can tell you what it says, yes,” said O’Brien. “It cuts a reduction in the expected rate of growth, which you know. Not cutting benefits to the elderly. Benefits will be improved. The focus is on hospitals. The focus is on health insurance.” 

“He gutted the program by $711 million,” said Sununu of Obama. “And the fact is he reduces services to Medicare beneficiaries currently on the package. What the difference is, is that Romney says no impact to anybody 55 or over. It is clear in here that the reduction in services start on January 1, 2013 and Obama stole that money to put it into programs under Obamacare…” 

“The hospitals agreed to that,” O’Brien countered. “The drug providers agreed to that because their theory is that what they’re going to be able to do is make up by the number of people who come into the system. It doesn’t reduce or cut the benefits. Right….” 

“Soledad, stop this!” said Sununu. “All you’re doing is mimicking the stuff that comes out of the White House and gets repeated on the Democratic blog boards out there….” 

“I’m telling you what FactCheck.com tells you,” she insisted. “I’m telling you what the CBO tells you. I’m telling you what CNN’s independent analysis does.” 

“Put an Obama bumper sticker on your forehead when you do this,” Sununu shot back. 

“You know. Let me tell you something,” she continued. “There is independent analysis that details what this about and repeating a number–” 

“No there isn’t,” he interrupted. 

“Yes there is,” she replied. 

“No,” Sununu insisted. “There’s Democratic analysis.”

"There's Democratic analysis?"  Meaning I assume that any truth revealed by the media is immediately suspected to be a liberal concoction?

Hell this is the same damn thing that Sarah Palin said yesterday.

So this is where the line is now drawn in the sand? There are no more actual facts in the Republican point of view, just Conservative talking points vs Liberal evidence?

Holy crap! Well so much for having an open and honest dialogue on the issues!

By the way as you know I am not a big fan of CNN these days, but I think I might just be in love with a Soledad O'Brein. She has some fire, oh yes she does!

P.S. Just so you conservatives know, it just so happens that facts have a liberal bias. So clearly in order to stay conservatives you kind of HAVE to ignore them. Good luck educating your children for the future job markets.
