Republican/Teabaggers have turned party into manure lagoon.
And as anybody who has been to a livestock farm can tell you, the manure lagoon is usually full of shit. According to AmericaBlog, this level in the lagoon has been confirmed by a study from George Mason University, a conservative center of mis-education in DC.
This study is from George Mason University, a lesser college in the Washington, DC area that is known as a hotbed of conservative activism. So take anything you ever hear from "GMU" with a huge grain of salt. Often there's a conservative bias, and funding stream, underlying folks from that university.Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.
This study, by the self-proclaimed non-partisan "Center for Media and Public Affairs" - which has been accused of conservative ties in the past - finds that media fact-checkers found Mitt Romney and the GOP lied twice as much as Democrats. It's some coincidence that the study came out just a few weeks after the Republican party collectively decided that it's time to start tearing down fact-checkers.
In any case, the study found that the fact-checkers rated Romney and the GOP liars twice as much as they rated Dems as liars. While conservatives will surely say this is a sign of the fact-checkers' inherent bias, it's just as likely that fact-checkers are finding twice as often that the GOP lies because the GOP lies twice as often as Democrats do.
