Huzzah! Following in the footsteps of Avenging Angel, who has done yeoman's work in exposing the stinking pile of mendacious horse manure that is Mitt Romney, I have been working to gather all of Willard's grotesque falsehoods into one central blog. I don't carry advertising on it, and I have not "monetized" it in any way. It's strictly a labor of love/hate. It can be found here. You see, I loathe and despise liars. I'm almost 60. I've been following politics since I was 12 (yes, a misspent youth). I vividly remember such world-class prevaricators as Richard Nixon. But for the life of me, I have never seen a more brazen liar than Romney running for president in my entire life. By God, I won't stand for it, not without a fight. Hey, I'm just one little person. But just as a few hundred thousand small fires can make a conflagration, a few hundred thousand dedicated truth-tellers can out Mitt Romney for the lying, unprincipled, morally bankrupt sociopath that he is. So, with this conviction in mind, here are Romney's lies all exposed:
Here is Romney lying about defense spending and falsely claiming Obama has made "huge" cuts in the defense budget: http://romneytheliar.blogspot.com/...
Here is Romney's outrageous lie that Obama has increased the national debt more than all other presidents combined: http://romneytheliar.blogspot.com/...
Here is Romney's astonishing, brazen lie that President Obama is responsible for ALL the job losses in the recession: http://romneytheliar.blogspot.com/...
Here is Romney lying about his "regular guy" status, including his AMAZING lie that he has feared getting a "pink slip" notice himself: http://romneytheliar.blogspot.com/...
Here is Romney claiming that anyone who questions his business tactics is "attacking the free enterprise system": http://romneytheliar.blogspot.com/...
Here's an item about the vicious, lying, right-wing hitman that Romney has hired to spread lies about Willard's opponents: http://romneytheliar.blogspot.com/...
I simply have gathered Romney's lies together, for the most part. (Sometimes I find news items myself and highlight them.) Steve Benen, Andrew Sullivan, a lot of you good folks here on DKos (especially Jed), the good folks at Balloon Juice, and many others have rooted them out. I wanted to give you a ready resource for making these things go viral, as widely as possible.
I hope this helps. Originally posted to Yosef 52 on Thu Apr 12, 2012 at 07:59 PM PDT. Also republished by Mitt Romney Bain Chronicles.
There would be plenty more since April 12, 2012 .. some for sure among the Romney highlights below.
Am including all because... well, there is enough in one .. Why would anyone vote for the any guy who refuses to follow traditional practice of releasing tax returns unless they were rock solidly either ignorant of political matters, or ideologically cemented in.
Anyway, a few other reasons why one may decide not to vote for Mr. Mitt Romney ..
As well being a compulsive liar, (evidence based thought) Romney is, albeit hilariously, dangerously proving himself as an incompetent in foreign policy (again, evidence based) ..
Romney's clanger:
"There must be a full suspension of any enrichment, period.", in which he parrots Netanyahu, in total disregard for the right of Iran under the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty to enrich uranium to 3% for peaceful purposes ..
Netanyahu laid out demands Sunday in Jerusalem: "One, stop all enrichment of uranium, both 20% and 3%. Two, move all enriched material out of Iran's territory; it is possible to give them alternative material for peaceful purposes. Three, dismantle the illegal facility in Qom." http://edition.cnn.com/2012/04/09/world/meast/iran-nuclear-talks/index.html
Romney has upset Russia:
Politico reports that Medvedev shot back at Romney today at a press conference in Seoul, South Korea: [...]
“My other advice is to check their clocks from time to time,” Medvedev said Tuesday. “It is 2012, not the mid-1970s. No matter what party a candidate represents, he has to take the current state of affairs into account.” http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=77793416
Romney misrepresented the Australian Foreign Minister Bob Carr:
Romney outrages Palestinians with outrageous comments:
"It is a racist statement and this man doesn't realize that the Palestinian economy cannot reach its potential because there is an Israeli occupation," said Saeb Erekat, a senior aide to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.
"It seems to me this man lacks information, knowledge, vision and understanding of this region and its people," Erekat added. "He also lacks knowledge about the Israelis themselves. I have not heard any Israeli official speak about cultural superiority." http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=78011098
Domestically, one of many
Romney infamously fudged big time on his Olympic time relationship with Bain:
Mitt, is a problem for the GOP, and they know it. For a partial list of Republicans who are unhappy with Mitt's tax return position see a reply to the link immediately above.
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Friday shows Mitt Romney attracting support from 47% of voters nationwide, while President Obama earns the vote from 43%. Four percent (4%) prefer some other candidate, and six percent (6%) are undecided. See tracking history.
