Or just another lie?

No a lie, no matter how much it is repeated, is still a lie. That is at least the way most sensible people see it. However, a lie constantly rehashed by Fox News, and many in talk radio, no matter how egregiously false, becomes the gospel truth among most in conservative circles. To many conservatives facts are irrelevant, as long what is stated reinforces their prejudices, and is done with a certain dogged certainty. The manner of delivery of a certain falsehood is all that it takes to make that falsehood be reborn into an irrefutable truism.

They will pretend it's a fact. Such as the lie that Iraq was a threat to the United States before we invaded. Bush believes that lie is true because he and other republicans have said it many times.

Two or more wrongs don't make it right. It's just more lies. There aren't enough Republicans that can say the same lies at once to take another election. They are criss-crossing the nation because they are running scared. War is all they know, that's why they are relentless in their attack campaign. They haven't really done much other than speak empty words.

If Rush Limbaugh says it then it is the gospel truth. The neo-cons just repeat it enough that it sounds like a lie. Oh wait, maybe it was a lie when Rush said it. Stay the course, cut and run, and many other things have come from the lips of el rushbo.

Yes it does but it must be repeated many times in an orchestrated effort. We lost a good man in Haggard. He helped repeat some of our lies as well. The amount of times you have to repeat a lie before it is believed is directly proportional to the time you put in discrediting your detractors or anyone trying to find the truth. Pretty simple really. It's worked for years and earned me millions.

You mean like "Bush banned embryonic stem-cell research."
Or "If Sam Alito gets on the Supreme Court, Roe v Wade will be overturned."
Suprising as it may be to you, despite the fact that Democrats told these lies, they are still lies.
Same holds true when Republicans tell lies, although they don't do it as habitually as Dems, which is probably why you didn't come up with an example.

It becomes true when that republican owns a newspaper or a tv station. Then the same lies get repeated over and over until noone knows what's true or not.

For you it would, anyone with a comprehension level above -10 knows Republicans do not lie.

Iam lied to equally, by both parties. Recently, though....it has been taken to a whole new level.
Iam not ignorant enough to believe that if/when the DEMS win the house, that the lies will stop....they run to deep. Heck... its the one thing that the parties have in common. Maybe the lies can bring them together as friends.

no "ruth the meanie-head" that's the republican ted haggard - he's the one who swings both ways - not the door! And yes, it's just another lie....it's just a republican blur of lies.
