I don't like to think of Cory Gardner as a liar. I think of him more as a low-information truth teller.
Teh Librul NPR's Mara Liasson did her part.
So Mark Udall's you can keep your policy and your doctor stuff was the truth?
It was the best information available when he said it; unlike Conman Cory's "there is no federal personhood bill, which he knew to be a lie when he said it, asswipe.
At least that's what the Insurance companies promised when they wrote the ACA.
I think it falls in to a couple of categories.
Those voters who aren't watching the day-to-day political tides don't have a clear understanding of where their (potential) politicians stand. By the time they're ready to vote, they suffer from information overload. They've been inundated with the he-said, she-said back and forth of the political campaign and dismiss too much of it.
Then there's the increasing affiliation media bias that Politico points out; watching FOX News is the best way to lower your understanding of the world, scientifically speaking – better even than not looking at any news. I suspect reading Democratic Underground and Alternet as your primary news sources might have similar bias effects. Both FOX and Alternet occasionally carry important stories, but in a bubble they're both probably bad for your political health.
Finally there are the intentionally partisan absolutists. If Cory Gardner said the sky was purple, I suspect up to 10% of our state's population would start a campaign to rename sky blue to purple via petition.
They should have said, "You can keep your shitty, ripoff insurance policy if you'd like. But, you should take advantage of the improved and more comprehensive policies guaranteed by The Affordable Care Act that was passed at the urging of America's First Black President, Barack Hussein Obama and a mostly Democratic Congress."
You won't get my goat, AC. I'll still hold R's in contempt and D's to a higher standard.
Oh, and here's a viewing suggestion for Mark Udall, who will probably have a ton of free time very soon.
Clown tears are the saltiest, I hear.
Is this Cory the Clown's swan song to his Personhood supporters, trying to convince them that he's really not as happy as he looks on the campaign trail after disowning his most ardent backers in public, but then crawling back to them in private (ie, the Big Lie) to get what he needs from them?

If nothing else, at least Con Man Cory will be recognized as the Poster Boy for pathological serial liars (Personhood, health insurance, green energy support, etc).
That cover should be framed and hanging on the wall, either as a warning should he lose, or as an award to future GOP hopefuls that can tell the biggest whopper without getting called on it by the media or public.
