Not surprising at all. What IS surprising, is how and why they is a following. Or, more importantly, why the GOP isn't doing anything about cleaning up it's act.

Clearly this research is another liberal lie :sneaky:

And now you've raised the Republican "pants on fire" rate to 33%.

I guess we found where moonbeam works...
"Conservative (not necessarily Republican) thought is wrought with fear and anxiety. Their policy is to attempt to mitigate that without concern for actual accomplishments. They don’t seem to realize that the root fear they harbor is counterproductive. However, we can thank organizations like Politifact and FactCheck.org for keeping them on their feet, and grilling them when it’s necessary."

Exactly. Post a thread from either side about a study that rips the other side and you'll get a good circle-jerk going from either side. Meanwhile, both sides in the pest-hole that is DC are screwing all of us.
You may all continue with your false sense of righteousness. Carry on.
As a nation the best we can get out of either party is 22% entirely true.

Hey, that's like twice the approval rating of Congress!

Didn't the study demonstrate that Democrats are more truly righteous than Republicans by a 54% to 18% margin?

Thank you very, very much for demonstrating to us how an exceedingly clever quip can be transformed into something very, very boring. And I'm sure we all appreciate this new information.
This isn't a big surprise but it's not because Republicans are inherently more likely to lie. Currently the Republican Party is dealing with a radicalized base that they need to appeal to. Saying outrageous things doesn't hurt you with the base, it helps you. Therefore, there's an incentive to say 'pants on fire' type statements.
The reason you don't hear things like that from Democrats as often isn't because they are above it, but because it's not what motivates the base.

They must have used P&N for their research.
Just look at every post by the resident Republicans so clear they are lying all the time.
