More PolitiFact Score-Keeping: All "Full-Flops" Were Made By Republicans

In an earlier post, I pointed to the large number of "false" PolitiFact rulings for Wisconsin Republican officials.

I also notice that in the "full-flop" category, four have been issued and the GOP gets them all.

What is wrong with these people? Below are the details, from PolitiFact, via the Journal Sentinel:
Statements we say are Full Flop
Scott Walker

Sean Duffy

On "repeal and replace" of federal health care reform.

Tom Petri

In 15 months, went from a benefit to a "boondoggle"

    Last weekend, we had our first meal at a restaurant not far from the lake cabin that's been in my wife's family for generations. She guessed that she'd never been there before because of the previously smoky atmosphere. We went back the next evening.

    Any bar or restaurant with a decent business model comes out ahead smoke-free. A good flop by Walker.

    The Petri flop is a twofer, mentioning in passing Tommy Thompson's particularly galling flop on Chicago-Madison passenger rail.
