"Tell Me Lies, Tell Me Sweet Little Lies..."

King James is at it again.

In a two-part interview with The Evening Bulletin (click here for part one, here for part two), His Highness refutes any of the blame being placed on himself for the current state of affairs in Montgomery County. What most perceive as the traitorous act of a scoundrel, Matthews claims was done to "protect" the Republican Party.

How can the Republicans being in charge hurt the party? In King James' pretzel logic, anything is possible.

Throughout the interview, Matthews becomes indignant over the phrasing of a handful of questions, but, in his blind desire to be heard, answers the questions anyway with even more lies and spin.

It's almost like King James III has started a propaganda war to make Castor look foolish. Problem is, if he keeps it up, people may start to believe his garbage and rhetoric. It has happened throughout history. One such instance that I am reminded of is:

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”, Joseph Goebbels

Not that the state of Montgomery County has deteriorated to the level of Pre-WWII Nazi Germany, but the propagation of the lies by Matthews is just as heinous. Just ask those who's careers and livelihood have and will be in jeopardy by his lies. And, what is he not telling us about the state of our Montgomery County? With all of these new hires and programs, his claim is that we are "under budget"...I find that to be a hard pill to swallow.

Our only hope is that as this charade by Matthews continues, his lies will change (some already have) and people will pick up on that fact. Jim's new career as a a "bi-partisan" political opportunist is being perpetuated by his "convenient" lies. Eventually, they will come back and bite him on the rear-end.

The lies have spilled over into his private life, as well. I will be very surprised to see his wife switch her registration back after the primary election. As a Republican committeeman, I would be appalled if my wife changed her registration-for any reason. Once again, political opportunism wins over what is "right".

Hell, I'll bet that, at this point, even Joe Hoeffel has someone watching his back. If not, he should. It's only a matter of time...
