Romney's Inexplicable Debate Fibs

BuzzFeed:

CONCORD, New Hampshire -- Mitt Romney's generally strong debate performance was marred by two small and inexplicable shadings of fact -- moments that left reporters, rivals, and allies shaking their heads and wondering why he he couldn't just give a straight and obvious answer to relatively trivial questions.

These guys are so tied up with their lies that they forget which ones are out there. This isn't the first time I have seen one of them contradict themselves within the confines of one sentences. I have listen to Paul and Gingrich do it a few times. But my favorite is when the Rickmister claiming that he didn;t say the word black in one of his responses. Even when confronted with the video of him saying it still denies it. It is truly amazing.

Nothing inexplicable about it; he's a liar. Period.

I finally figured out who Mitt reminds me of. Remember the models in the Sears or Montgomery Ward catalogs circa 1050's? Perfect hair, phony smile, vacant look in the eyes? Bingo!

The last thing anyone should expect from the party of Nixon/Agnew. is a straight answer.




....speaking of Agnew, where are those tax returns, Mitt?

Money doesn't make a man; integrity does! Willard has a lot of the first and none of the second!

Taking all sides on an issue is not only safe and effective, it's successful. When no one in the media even takes the time to point it out anymore, there is no risk.

I don't understand how people can see and hear the lies, tap dancing, etc that this man says and does and people still like him. Still his numbers are up. What is wrong here? Is this what the GOP wants? A man who practically admitted he will be one term, get things up and running right, in his opinion, then not run again because "that would be about me."
The country needs a President to run the country not a CEO who thinks running a country is like running a corporation. Not the same at all.

Speaking of Romney fibs, he says he voted for Scott Brown in the special Massachusetts election, claiming to be eligible because he declared his son's unfinished basement to be his official residence. If this is so, then he would have to have filed a Resident tax return to the Commonwealth of "Taxachusetts" where all his out-of-state income would be subject to state tax.

No wonder he doesn't want to release his tax forms.

What's inexplicable? The man's an idiot - a rich one, but an idiot. Anyone expecting sense from an idiot is just as big an idiot!

Was he lying when he vowed to defend and protect a woman's right to choose or is he lying now?

Simple - if his lips are moving, he's lying.

It's not called lying anymore, it's called being flexible.

It's called say whatever it takes to get you elected, whether you mean it or not.

Romney's most inexplicable mistake was to state that serving one's country as ambassador is tantamount to treason.
One should be loyal to one's party, not to one's country according to Romney, thereby declaring President Obama the enemy rather than his President of the USA who happens to belong to another political party.

It also indicates that if and when Romey will be president the war between the Reps. and the Dems. will continue.

Good luck America.

Republicans can't speak without lying. It's in their DNA. Newt claims he cheated on his wives because he loves his country? I mean, come on. Bush lied about everything under the sun, we don't wiretap anyone without a warrant, WMDs, etc. Reagan claims to have known nothing about Iran Contra. Then there's the common lies of the party, Obama has destroyed the economy, the stimulus didn't create any jobs, Obama raised taxes, is a muslim, terrorist, communist, socialist. Everything was just fine and dandy before Jan. 2009. The poor people in the ghettos caused the financial crisis. The list is endless.

Mitt Romney is just like George W. Bush....born with a silver foot in his mouth.

Yes, he has no idea of how other people live. I heard, on the news this morning, that the closest he came to not having a job is he was concerned about possible getting the pink slip after school. Give me a break. Almost only counts in horseshoes. Take away his millions, let him struggle, for a year, try to find a job, try to find a home and food on the table. Then I will be willing to hear what he has to say. In other words "Live in my shoes."
