Giuliani Lies in Campaign Ads and the Press Yawns

Rudy Giuliani is getting down to business early, the business of lying. True to the GOP playbook, Giuliani is making it up as he goes along and that holds true for his quote about prostate cancer. In an attempt to discredit the British Medical system he stated that the survival rate from prostate cancer in America is much higher than in Great Britain. It even appears in his campaign advertisement. Problem is it’s a lie.

The actual rates of survival from prostate cancer is about equal between the US and Britain. I would also ask Mr. Giuliani what about all those folks who get prostate cancer and can’t afford treatment or even diagnosis because of the for-profit American medical establishment? The sad truth is, if you have money you live and if you are broke, you die. And even more sadly, if you are a Republican you lie!
