The Deceiver: Romney's Top 18 Lies
I'm not sure there's ever been a presidential candidate that lies as easily and as much as Willard Mitt Romney (aka Wall Street Willie). He lies about everything. I guess he doesn't think anyone will investigate his lies, and if they do then the American people are too stupid to believe them. That may be true for Republican teabaggers (who have never cared much for facts, but hate President Obama so much that they will believe any lie told about him), but hopefully the bulk of voters will be turned off by his mendacity and take steps to make sure this liar never reaches the White House.
In fact, Romney lies so much that it would be impossible to put all of his lies in one post (that post would have to go on for many pages). Rachel Maddow over at The Maddow Blog has been trying to keep up with all of Romney's lies. So far, it has taken twenty chapters to chronicle the lies (and I'm sure the number of chapters will easily reach triple-digits before the November election). If you have the stomach for it, you can click on the link above to find links to the first nineteen chapters. Here are Romney's latest lies (as chronicled by Ms. Maddow):
1. At a campaign stop in Craig, Colorado, this week, Romney argued, "The president, when he got elected, he said, look, 'I'm going to go out and borrow $787 billion and I'll keep unemployment below 8 percent.'"
Romney says this just about every day. It's not true.
2. In the same speech, Romney said Obama can't "blame Congress" for economic problems: "Remember that he had a supermajority in both the House and the Senate in his own party for his first two years."
Putting aside the fact that the current Congress is more relevant, the truth is Democrats did not have a supermajority for the vast majority of Obama's first two years.
