Why exactly? Unless you can say that one group has never and will never lie, the most you can dispute is that "I prefer my group's lies to yours". My contention is they both lie. Some are more subtle lies and some are more blatant. Doesn't change the fact that both are liars, does it? If you sell sex for money, you are a prostitute. I don't care if you are a $5 a BJ prostitute or a $4000 an hour "call girl".

Brian,

I didn't intend to cross polinate the thread. I was responding to the perception that everyone on SI is extremely wealthy.

I asked said daughter last night about a HS classmate of hers who worked for RL out of college. I recall her saying some time ago thast she went and visited her apt. down in the lower east side. She lived above a Chinese restaurant. When she told me that she probably made about 35k out of school 3 years ago, I asked her if she lived alone. Oh no, she said, she had 2 roomates. Single working girls starting out and wanting to live alone shlepp in from the Jersey City Heights. ()

The Rent is Too Damn High!

I wouldn't put it that way, but at least this time your reply has some relevance to what I said.

So what is the difference between a Republican that lies and a Democrat that lies? I can't trust either of them not to stick it in my keister without lube.

I never said there was any difference between a Republican that lies and a Democrat that lies.

Therefore, if politicians are human and humans lie, and humans make up the Democrat and Republican parties, both parties are staffed by liars. What is the difference between the parties?

These Russian-Americans are exactly the types of folks that the republicans should be trying to attract. They would be better off with then than the wing nuts.

These Russians are used to and prefer hawkish, authoritarian, dictatorial, style of leadership. They are "lost at sea" in a democracy. They have too many choices and they long for someone to tell them what to do.
