I want to hear the word "liar" directed toward Romney for the next three weeks

[PlanetBev]

I'm tired of hearing words like "misleading", "untrue", etc. The media seems to abhor the words "lying" and "liar". Polititians are just not supposed to utter the word.

Just say it, man.

1. Followed up by ...

"Because Lies Matter" .... in the same way facts do.

2. Liar is so judgemental...and attacks character.

Untrue is close to liar, and I do not hear it often.

Most often they use misleading or inaccurate. They do so because they feel it necessary to tip toe around candidates, otherwise they will not get access to that candidate.

But I do agree, I'd rather they just call a spade a spade, or even a fucking shovel when it fits.

3. I'd like it too,

But probably won't happen. Even Biden avoided the word, although he got the point across.

4. Calling Romney a liar isn't enough

And it can be a losing strategy.

Obama has to give voters reasons to vote for HIM not just vote against Romney.

He needs to remind voters of the economic recovery and dropping unemployment figures and contrast his plans with those of Romney.
