How can Romney supporters trust him?

People on the right wing love to refer to Obama as a liar, but whose campaign is saying that they won't allow the campaign to be "dictated by fact-checkers?" They are out and saying that telling the truth, and allowing people to call them on their lies cannot be a part of their campaign. You want to hitch your wagon to that?

Update:

A very educated point of view Jenny.....or something like that.

Update 2:

John: I can respect your belief that he is the better candidate. But allow me to say that being a successful business person doesn't necessarily qualify you to be president. Especially when your business was to liquidate local businesses and send their jobs overseas to make a profit for your investors. That seems like kind of the opposite point of being President.

Plus, Obama never said things would be finished by his first term in office, and was blocked at all roads in everything he attempted to do by republicans. Mitch McConnell said Republicans' top priority was to make Obama a 1 term president. Not to put America back to work, not to lower the deficit, not to help banks get to the point of lending again, but to get back into power. That's my point of view. But thank you for answering respectfully, that is so rare in this forum.

Update 3:

Just sayin': I didn't mention anything about Obama in the question. It's 100% about Romney. It's your own inference drawing that conclusion.

    Romney supporters don't care about trusting him. They only care about removing President Obama from the White House.

    They know they can't trust him. They just don't care about anything but removing President Obama.

    Let me start off by saying this: I am an Independent. I lean liberal socially, and conservative fiscally. However, this election, I am voting for Romney. Not because I trust or like him, but because I believe he is the best candidate and the one best suited to ameliorate the ailing economy. Obama has had his chance. He believed that he could do it in three years. He has not done it in three years. He also has never actual experience in dealing with the economy. Romney has and has led a very lucrative and decorated successful career.

    Because we like what he stands for, and like his way of leading.

    Many Conservatives have a problem with people who try to do bad things to them. Steal their freedom, give away their money and their family. If Romney quit politics and obama got 4 more years the country would be in ruin.

    Anybody who trusts either Romney or Obama is a tool. Someone who thinks there is a real difference between the two of them may have a slight mental retardation, which is fine, but still.

    Better anyone than what you democrats offer:

    Democrat President Wilson (1913-1918) said, “You are not here merely to make a living. You are here to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, and with a finer spirit of hope and achievement. You are here to enrich the world. You impoverish yourself if you forget this errand.” He may have been the first democrat to appreciate the potential use of multiculturalism (“If it’s white or American, trash it!”) in deconstructing the Constitution, saying, “No nation is fit to sit in judgment upon any other nation.” Obama put it this way: "Every nation is exceptional in its own way."

    Democrat President Roosevelt (1933-1945) “let it all hang out” in his speech before Congress on January 11, 1944:

    “We have accepted, so to speak, a second Bill of Rights...” which included:

    -The right to earn enough to provide adequate food and clothing and recreation

    -The right of every family to a decent home

    -The right to adequate medical care and the opportunity to achieve and enjoy good health

    -The right to adequate protection from the economic fears of old age, sickness, accident, and unemployment.

    Democrat President Johnson’s Great Society became the largest redistribution of wealth program in our history.

    Obama has thrust national healthcare upon us, the hallmark of all socialist and welfare states.

    25 years ago none of the above was common knowledge. It is only because of the Internet, talk radio and Fox News (all non-existent 25 years ago!) that today we know that the democrat party has been gradually changing America into a European style welfare state.

    -2/4/10 Gallup poll: 61% of liberals have a positive view of socialism.

    -6/2/11 Gallup poll: 71% of democrats favor re-distributing wealth.

    -Now they have national health care, the foundation of all welfare and socialist states.

    The unions are rewarded for their support of democrats:

    -10/21/10 Wall Street Journal: The American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees is now the biggest outside spender of the 2010 elections. It gave 0% to Republicans between 1989 and 2012 (http://www.opensecrets.org/orgs/list.php%E2%80%A6

    -1/30/09, http://www.healthyhearing.com/content/ne%E2%80%A6F... Employees Health Benefits Program hearing aid insurance coverage plans went into effect on January 1, 2009 for potentially 8 million federal employees, retirees and their families.

    -7/8/11 U. S. News Report (usnews.com): The actual number of private sector jobs decreased since 2008. Government jobs increased. During the worst of the downturn, the private sector was hammered with massive job losses, while the public sector held fairly steady.

    -6/8/12 Investors Business Daily: “Private-sector jobs are still down by 4.6 million, or 4%, from January 2008, when overall employment peaked. Meanwhile government jobs are down just 407,000, or 1.8%. Federal employment actually is 225,000 jobs above its January 2008 level, an 11.4% increase.”

    -6/11/12 Cato Institute (http://www.cato-at-liberty.org/obama-vs-%E2%80%A6 ...teacher employment has exploded; the public school workforce has grown 11 times faster than student enrollment over the last 40 years; on a per pupil basis, the inflation-adjusted average cost of a K-12 education has gone from about $55,000 to about $150,000.”

    8/15/12 USA Today/Gannet:

    -21,000+ retired federal workers receive lifetime government pensions of $100,000+.

    -Economist Veronique de Rugy (Mercatus Center): Average federal pensions, $32,824; state and local government pensions, $24,373; military, $22,492; ExxonMobilExxon Corporation (one of the best remaining private pensions), $18,250.

    -Pension payments cost $70 billion last year, plus $13 billion for retiree health care. Taxpayers face a future $2 trillion unfunded liability to cover those programs according to the government's audited financial statement.

    And as though that’s not enough:

    -Google search Obama saying, "Under my plan, energy prices would necessarily skyrocket" and watch him actually say that (in September, 2008).

    -11/3/08 LA Times: “So if somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can; it's just that it will bankrupt them because they're going to be charged a huge sum for all that greenhouse gas that's being emitted."

    -6/8/11 U. S. News: “Two new EPA pollution regulations will slam the coal industry so hard that hundreds of thousands of jobs will be lost, and electric rates will skyrocket 11 percent to over 23 percent, according to a new study based on government data.”

    -9/5/12 CNBC News http://www.cnbc.com/id/48905756: The World Economic Forum survey ranks nations by competitiveness: the US fell two positions to the 7th spot marking its fourth year of decline.
