Pretty good post in Jacksonville Craigslist R & R on Mitt and his lies.

http://jacksonville.craigslist.org/rnr/3051330649.html.

I'm sure it will get flagged off again soon so get it while it's hot. Just hoping DU'ers will frequently post similar truth on other boards that undecideds and those who may be swayed by the wall of advertising that approaches.

Willard 'Mitt' Romney caught lying, again. (Jacksonville)

Yesterday I watched Romney tell a bald lie. The article below is right, he does have a major truth problem.

Why would someone running for president straight up lie over and over again? Does he think we're so stupid we'll believe anything?

"Mitt Romney's Lies
From '100,000 new jobs' to Obama's jobs record to his first name, Mitt Romney has a truth problem "http://www.usnews.com/opinion/articles/2012/01/12/mitt-romneys-lies

"The notion that Mitt Romney routinely makes statements lacking a factual basis should not come as a surprise to anyone who has followed the campaign. On the left, Paul Krugman has marveled that no other candidate has ever "lied so freely, with so little compunction." On the right, The American Conservative's Daniel Larison wondered about why he lies, concluding that the former Massachusetts governor is "so contemptuous of the people he tells lies to that he never thinks he will be found out."

Then tonight May 31: Rachel Maddow marvels at the ability of Mitt Romney to tell plain, checkable lies, coming right out of his face, without being called on those lies by the media assigned to cover his candidacy. http://www.bing.com/videos/watch/video/romneys-lying-problem/6qdpslm

Everybody's seen his two-faced side, that he'll say whatever anybody wants to hear.
Just google it and you'll be blown away how far back this habit goes. He is supposed to be so upstanding and all but he is nothing like that.

There's a ton more of these kinds of lies from Mitt Romney. He's a liar, that is a plain unarguable fact. Now, why would anybody want to elect a man like that?

This is going to take more than one of us. There's more than one winger on that board furiously flagging off any progressive ideas.
