Lying Sack of S*** of The Week: Reince Priebus

http://bluntandcranky.wordpress.com/2013/08/16/lying-sack-of-s-of-the-week-reince-priebus/

Most DUers already know about his flip-flop on self-deportation. For those who don't:

"The man must think we don’t have an Internet. “Republican” National Committee chair Reince Priebus would have you believe that he is appalled, just appalled with the notion of self-deportation, oh yes, how very appalled indeed. Click the link to see how appalled he claims to be. There is just one little problem: he signed off on the concept in the latest “Republican” party platform. Whoops.

He can call self-deportation all kinds of nasty names, but he himself blessed this plank:

“”We will create humane procedures to encourage illegal aliens to return home voluntarily, while enforcing the law against those who overstay their visas.”

That is to say, have people choose to deport themselves. Or, put another way, self-deportation.

Hey, RNC Reince: I’d be appalled to tell you to “wear s*** on your head”; so here is a Crown O’ Polished Turds for you. See, totally different, right?"

As we get closer to the next convention and election, reporters are sure to bug him about it. Dishonest little chameleon.

My guess is they'll just passively regurgitate his words.

(usually saying it about Dems/Libs) from one day to the next "and don't have to be accountable".

And then, the lap-dog "liberally-biased media" doesn't call them out on their changing. But John Kerry, according to the "liberally-biased media", is a serial flip-flopper.
