Mitt Romney may not be the chief of sinners, but he is the Liar-in-Chief.
- Martin Bashir
Chronicling Mitt’s Mendacity, Vol. XXXVIII: Say what you will, but we really should be giving Romney props for his consistency, if not his honesty and integrity. The man really can lie faster than the Mainstream Media can fact-check him…and he does it day in and day out. The man’s a veritable mendacity machine.
At The Vice Presidential Debate: Ryan Told 24 Myths In 40 Minutes: When you have no honor, conscience, integrity, or sense of decency…you must be Paul Ryan.
Will Paul Ryan Get Found Out?: If Paul Ryan lies and the Mainstream Media doesn’t call him out for it, does he even make a sound?
Mitt Romney’s Continuous Mendacity: When you have no clear and coherent program of your own, your only real option is to lie about it…and to lie about your opponent. Shamelessly and often.
In Search of Answers From Mr. Romney: Of course, the answers you get depend on which version of Mitt Romney you happen to encounter and which “truth” Romney subscribes to on a particular day.
Fact-Denying Republicans: When your ideas can’t stand up to the facts, your ideas suck.
Team Obama’s Pathetic “Liar, Liar” Attack: Rich Lowry seems to feel that calling out Mitt Romney for his 27-lies-in-38-minutes debate performance is a pathetic tactic. Memo to Lowry: what’s truly pathetic (besides your willingness to overlook Romney’s epic mendacity) is your man’s willingness to manipulate the truth as needed and to be “a perfectly-lubricated weather vane.”
For weeks many Beltway insiders had written off the Romney campaign as dead, saying the candidate had dug himself into too deep a hole with too little time to recover. However, with a month to go before ballots are cast, Romney has pulled even with President Obama, and the former Massachusetts governor credits his rejuvenated campaign to one, singular tactic: lying a lot.
“I’m lying a lot more, and my lies are far more egregious than they’ve ever been,” a smiling Romney told reporters while sitting in the back of his campaign bus, adding that when faced with a choice to either lie or tell the truth, he will more than likely lie. “It’s a strategy that works because when I lie, I’m essentially telling people what they want to hear, and people really like hearing things they want to hear. Even if they sort of know that nothing I’m saying is true.”
“It’s a freeing strategy, really, because I don’t have to worry about facts or being accurate or having any concrete positions of any kind,” Romney added.
Romney Proudly Explains How He’s Turned Campaign Around…’I’m Lying More,’ He Says: OK, It’s The Onion, but the sad reality is that there’s only the barest sliver of daylight between their satire the truth.
Romney’s Major Reversal On Foreign Aid: If at first you don’t succeed, lie, lie again.
Romney Admits Pushing Misinformation In Debate: All he did was to admit to what intelligent and lucid people already knew.
Suddenly Centrist: The New Moderate Mitt Romney: You can fool some of the people some of the time, but Severely Conservative Mitt can’t fool all of the people all of the time. No, to do that you need Moderate Mitt, who can, will be, and is all things to all people.
Calling bullshit on Romney’s latest abortion claim: If Romney’s going to lie, and he’s demonstrated that he will- frequently- is it too much to expect that he at least put some effort and thought into his mendacity? Of course, if he just told the truth, he wouldn’t have to keep track of anything.
Romney, aides can’t keep their story straight on reproductive rights: If you tell the truth, you never have to remember anything. This is a lesson RomneyWorld has yet to learn.
The Definitive Timeline Of Romney’s Ever-Evolving Tax Plan: When you need to create a timeline in order to keep track of the lies and half-truths…somebody’s doing it wrong.
