Why do Republicans tell so many lies?

Question by Joshua H: Why do Republicans tell so many lies?
Obama was implicated in the Blagodevich scandal/is going to be implicated/his people are going to be implicated/etc.
Obama is a Muslim
Obama was born in Kenya
Obama is a socialist
Obama is going to raise everybody’s taxes
Obama went back on his campaign promises
Obama pals around with terrorists
I’m a businessman and I’m going to lay off my employees if Obama is elected
Obama smoked crack
Obama made the stock market go down (but not up, LOL)
Obama is a Communist
Obama is a British subject
Obama is going to be impeached (before he’s even been elected!)
Obama is going to (insert any number of things that he hasn’t done and that there’s no evidence he’s going to do)
I bet Obama (insert any number of things that there’s no evdience whatsoever that he’s done or would do)

And so on, endlessly. They all have one thing in common — they’re pure fantasy.

Why would anyone tell so many lies?

(PS — Please don’t bother telling us how he *has* smoked crack — he wrote in his book that as a teenager he used “blow” a few times, that is, powdered cocaine, a very different thing.)
