Given the echo chambers the GOP have set up, conservatives have begun to act in a way that contradicts reality, so often, that they are seriously beginning to resemble a zombie horde. Mercilessly attacking... based on no research or investigation, JUST a pure and fervent belief, in the rightness of their cause... which is based, proudly, on a foundation of lies.
Welcome to the REAL Zombie Apocalypse...

Democalypse 2012 - Do We Look Stupid? Don't Answer That Edition - Grammatical Gaffes : Mitt Romney's attack on Barack Obama's slight grammatical misstep regarding small business is what people do in an argument when they're completely f**ked. (The amazing part is that the GOP followers bought it! Or they just don't care about truth or accuracy anymore):
Conservatives ARE the Zombie Apocalypse.
News Report: Republicans to declare ‘We Built This!’ in stadium built with government funds You can't create a modern business without infrastructure. You need a car to get to a business, that care requires roads - you need electricity for running the business etc. Although this can be done privately it rarely is (historically). It's basic economics.
OR
As Mitt Romney put it...

As Mitt Romney put it...
"There are a lot of people in government who help us and allow us to have an economy that works and allow entrepreneurs and business leaders of various kinds to start businesses and create jobs. We all recognize that. That's an important thing.... I know that you recognize that a lot of people help you in a business. Perhaps the banks, the investors. There's no question your mom and dad. Your school teachers. The people that provide roads, the fire, and the police. A lot of people help."...
i.e. the same thing said by the GOP to their supporters is immediately agreed with by the GOP's followers who seem to obey the most hypocritical command at the drop of a hat.

Democalypse 2012 - Do We Look Stupid? Don't Answer That Edition In the middle of a rather banal populist run, President Obama invents an original kind of gaffe when he tells the truth on purpose.
Has this guy been fooled or is he just lying cause he hates Obama because he only watches Fox News?...
Small Businessman Who Hit Obama at GOP Convention Got $850,000 in Government Loans At the Republican national convention on Tuesday, nearly every speech invoked—in an unfair, out-of-context manner—President Obama's statement that successful small business owners benefit from government investment in roads, bridges, and education. Republicans have repeatedly used Obama's line "you didn't build that," excluding the crucial context, to imply that Obama believes that entrepreneurs didn't build their own businesses. One small business owner tapped by the Republican National Committee to speak at the GOP's "I Built That"-themed convention Tuesday was Phil Archuleta, owner of P&M Signs in New Mexico. "President Obama talks like he supports small businesses, but his actions are destroying us," Archuleta told the thousands in attendance Tuesday night. "His administration is putting us out of business. It is our turn to put them out of office!" But Archuleta's business, like those of several other business owners at the GOP convention, benefited greatly from government help. Through the Department of Commerce's Minority Business Development Agency, Archuleta secured an $850,000 Small Business Administration loan guarantee to build an 11,700-square-foot building for his company.The Minority Business Development Agency's website also says that Archuleta worked with the US Forest Service, to which he supplies signs, and a Department of Energy laboratory to develop environmentally friendly sign materials. So not only did Archuleta build new infrastructure for his business with a government loan, he collaborated with government agencies to improve the quality of his product.Archuleta's small business, in other words, directly contradicts the GOP's "I built that" nonsense. The Republican National Committee has trotted out business owners to highlight Obama's and the government's supposedly harmful effect on businesses. In Phil Archuleta's case, government has had the opposite effect. Some perspective On the 'We built this' nonsense...

RNC 2012 - The Road to Jeb Bush 2016 - We Built It Pt. 1 The Republican National Convention theme, "We Built It," resonates with those who don't recognize government's helping hand in creating stable conditions for entrepreneurship. (03:24):
Here is yet another Mitt Romney campaign add lie that is so absurd that it makes the Republican party look like a cult!
Romney remembers his NAACP speech differently A couple of weeks ago, Mitt Romney brought his trusted teleprompter to the NAACP convention, where he received a polite reception, right up until he vowed to destroy a health care reform law that brings coverage to 7 million African Americans. The Republican then heard loud and sustained booing. Soon after, Romney made it seem as if he wanted to get booed. In fact, that night, he told donors in Montana that if NAACP members want "more free stuff" from the government, they should "vote for the other guy." Two weeks later, however, the Romney campaign has a new video, reaching out to African-American voters (via ABL)

A small collection of Mitt Romney Lies...
Mitt’s master gaffe list Post-RNC, we update the massive (and growing) list of Mitt's epic flubs, goofs and falsehoods
UPDATED:We’ve added to our comprehensive list of Mitt Romney’s dubious statements — and will keep updating until Election Day. Check back soon!
49. “That very optimism is uniquely American.” Truth: Actually, according to Gallup polls several years running, Nigerians are the most optimistic people in the world. Greeks are the most pessimistic. Americans are somewhere in the middle. (Aug. 30, 2012)
48. “But today, four years from the excitement of the last election, for the first time, the majority of Americans now doubt that our children will have a better future.” Truth: Setting aside the fact that it contradicts his earlier claim about Americans’ optimism, he’s right that Americans are not very optimistic about their kids’ future. But it’s hardly “the first time.” (Aug. 30, 2012)
47. “When I was 37, I helped start a small company.” Truth: Bain Capital was not and never has been a “small company.” (Aug. 30, 2012)
46. “And let me make this very clear — unlike President Obama, I will not raise taxes on the middle class.” Truth: Obama did not raise taxes on the middle class by any stretch of the imagination. The stimulus actually gave a tax cut to 95 percent of working families via a cut in payroll taxes. Republicansfought the extension of that cut when it expired. Meanwhile, according to the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center, Romney’s budget plan would raise taxes on the middle class, while cutting taxes on the wealthy. (Aug. 30, 2012)
45. “I have a plan to create 12 million new jobs. It has five steps.” Truth: History shows this is likely an unrealistic pipe dream. (Aug. 30, 2012)
44. “His $716 billion cut to Medicare to finance Obamacare will both hurt today’s seniors, and depress innovation — and jobs — in medicine.” Truth: One of the most persistent lies of the campaigns — Obama did not cut Medicare. (Aug. 30, 2012)
43. “President Obama began with an apology tour.” Truth: Politifact gave this one a “Pants on Fire,” calling it a “ridiculous charge.” (Aug. 30, 2012)
42. “His trillion dollar cuts to our military will eliminate hundreds of thousands of jobs, and also put our security at greater risk.” Truth: Romney blames Obama for cuts that will kick in in January, but they actually are the result of a 2011 bipartisan budget to raise the government’s debt ceiling that Republicans agreed to. (Aug. 30, 2012)
