Well, they're either completely insane OR they're lying shamelessly... Although

the two are not mutually exclusive, especially with these guys:

Listening to Senator Grassley;

and Newton Disgraced-Former-Politician-Hoping-People-Have-Short-Memories Gingrich;

and Congressman Boner

and Jabba the Right Winger and Weepy Willie and all the Rest giving the world a big OOO-EEE-OOO about DEATH PANELS and GRANNY SNUFFING, I am remembering a quote from MarkTwain (or someone else)

"A lie can be halfway round the world
before the truth has got its boots on."
