Romney Caught In Lie About Netanyahu Friendship

[Tx4obama]

“I remember him (Romney) for sure, but I don’t think we had any particular connections, I knew him and he knew me, I suppose.”
~Bibi Netanyahu, July 2012 in Vanity Fair Interview, (middle of Page 4)

“We [Mitt & Netanyahu] can almost speak in shorthand. We share common experiences and have a perspective and underpinning which is similar.”
~Romney to the New York Times

“I’d get on the phone to my friend Bibi Netanyahu and say, ‘Would it help if I said this? What would you like me to do?’”
~Romney in a December GOP debate

“Israel’s current prime minister is not just a friend, he’s an old friend”
~Romney in April 2012

1. The news is still shopping the lie, even after Bibi said "I barely know the asshole." nt

2. The guy is a legend in his own (tiny) mind

3. Why would he say such a thing, not once, but many times?

This is an open-communication world and he surely realized those comments would get back to Netanyahu. That doesn't make any sense.

Sometimes, in looking at/reading about so many of these Republicans, it seems as though a higher percentage of them lie than in other populations/groups. Is it their personality, training or desperation? Truly amazing that at their age, they haven't learned the lessons of decency and truth.

4. Mythomania?

Or in his case, Mittomania.

5. actually i think it's because nobody holds them accountable..

we on the left tend to document this stuff and share it among our selfs.. the corporate news media is about sound bites and constantly changing narratives... none of which are checked for factual truth or context.. the conservative media on the other hand simply make their own facts, knowing that nobody will call them on it..

6. Mitt Romney CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!
