Oh wow, one possible mistake over a career that has spanned decades. So on that basis, you call him a "professional liar?" From the troll who has told every Democrat Talking Point Lie that's ever been written?
F*** off, troll.

John Fund is a proven liar.
His books on voter fraud have been debunked by many.
It's on the internet should you care to read it, but you prefer to remain willfully ignorant of the facts.

Yes, of course, sweetheart.

That's why Fund has been kept on as a journalist in publications of impeccable integrity.

Because he's such a liar!

You have all the credibility of a rotting eggplant.

I'm sure you'll dismiss that too, as you dismiss anything that comes from someone on the left, which is ironic considering the amount of phony info that comes from the right, which you seem to swallow without any hesitation.

My 83 yr old Canadian father in law says it is the worst he remembers and has delayed his spring trip down here because he is afraid of flooding while he is gone.

A difference of opinion does not make Fund a liar.

Only a shameless lying troll like you would try to pass that swill off as true.

Virginia Republican Says A Pregnant Woman Is Just A "Host."

A pregnant woman is just a "host" that should not have the right to end her pregnancy, Virginia State Sen. Steve Martin (R) wrote in a Facebook rant defending his anti-abortion views.

Martin, the former chairman of the Senate Education and Health Committee, wrote a lengthy post about his opinions on women's bodies on his Facebook wall last week in response to a critical Valentine's Day card he received from reproductive rights advocates.

"I don't expect to be in the room or will I do anything to prevent you from obtaining a contraceptive," Martin wrote. "However, once a child does exist in your womb, I'm not going to assume a right to kill it just because the child's host (some refer to them as mothers) doesn't want it." Martin then changed his post on Monday afternoon to refer to the woman as the "bearer of the child" instead of the "host."

The biological definition of a 'host' is an animal or plant that nourishes and supports a parasite.
So if the mother is just a 'host' then the fetus is a parasite.

Sen. Pat Roberts' tea party challenger posts corpse pictures to Facebook.

U.S. Senate candidate Milton Wolf posted a collection of gruesome X-ray images of gunshot fatalities and medical injuries to his Facebook page and participated in online commentary layered with macabre jokes and descriptions of carnage.

Wolf is the tea party challenger to Sen. Pat Roberts (R-Kansas), and let's just say he had, pre-campaign season, odd hobbies. Namely, posting graphic X-rays of his patients and ex-patients, which Wolf says is legal to do because he didn't include names with the images. You might think that Wolf would be doing it to show the dramatic damage caused to the human body by America's favorite metal projectile, but he's a tea partier so let's just say he drew different lessons.

In a Facebook discussion of an image of the person decapitated by gunfire, Wolf shared that the X-ray was among cherished artifacts from time spent working as a medical resident at Truman Medical Centers. The graphic image shows a skull broken apart like a smashed pumpkin. Chunks of skull remain attached by tissue with vertebra exposed at the neck.

“One of my all-time favorites," Wolf posted to the Facebook picture. "From my residency days there was a pretty active 'knife and gun club' at Truman Medical Center.

What kind of gun blows somebody's head completely off? I've got to get one of those.”

Paralyzed GOP Lawmaker On Medicaid Opposes Medicaid Expansion

More than a decade ago, Arkansas Rep. Josh Miller (R) was in a catastrophic car accident that broke his neck and left him paralyzed. Medicare and Medicaid paid the $1 million bill for his hospitalization and rehabilitation.

But this week, as the Arkansas legislature has debated continuing its privatized Medicaid expansion under Obamacare, Miller has remained steadfast in his opposition.
The Arkansas Times highlighted the contrast in a Thursday report. The alternative newspaper reported that Miller receives ongoing coverage through the government programs, including Medicaid-covered personal care assistance.

The Times asked Miller, 33, about this apparent contradiction: Shouldn't someone who has experienced the benefits of health insurance, including insurance paid for by the government, understand the importance of expanding those benefits to others?

The difference, he said, is that some of the 100,000 people who have gained coverage through Arkansas's Medicaid expansion don't work hard enough or just want access to the program so they can purchase and abuse prescription drugs.

"My problem is two things," Miller said. "One, we are giving it to able-bodied folks who can work ... and two, how do we pay for it?"

The accident that paralyzed Miller occurred about 11 years ago, the Times reported. He was driving with a friend, alcohol was involved, but Miller said he couldn't remember who was driving. When he arrived at the hospital with his life-changing injuries, he was uninsured.
Miller, who manages a rental property office, took office as a state legislator in 2013.

As TPM has reported, the Arkansas legislature must re-approve funding for Medicaid expansion with a 75-percent supermajority to keep the program going. The funding bill remains a few votes short, including Miller's, in the 100-member House.

Miller, who voted against expansion last year, said he and the other opponents were concerned about the long-term costs in the state but were open to a compromise that would allow those already covered by the expansion to keep their coverage.

In an interview with MSNBC's Chris Hayes Thursday, he said he was worried about traditional Medicaid being cut to pay for the Medicaid expansion when the state has to start picking up a small share of the tab in 2017.

"Without those programs, I know I wouldn't be here, and that's one of the reasons I've dedicated my life to public service," Miller said. "But the Medicaid program that was there for me, the traditional Medicaid program, is not what's being debated here."
