Does it bother anyone that Mitt lied 27 times last night?

Newt Gingrich said there is no practical way to debate Mitt Romney because he doesn't feel any need to tell the truth. Here is the 27 lies.http://thinkprogress.org/politics/2012/10/04/95880...

    No, you have it wrong. It is Obama that lied. So it is time for a change. So be sure and vote for Romney and send Obama home, since he is a failure as a president.

    I just saw Newt Gingrich on TV 10 minutes ago and he said that what Mitt Romney said about his tax is correct. Tax cuts encourage small business and job growth, and since most American workers work for companies that pay that individual rate it only makes sense to lower them to encourage them to hire more people. Once the economy improves and people are working again, the deficit will come down because we won't be borrowing money from China.

    The fact is Mitt Romney did not lie 27 times last night. That information on that site is heavily skewed. Was he 100% truthful?, not exactly. But neither was Obama, in fact Obama told just as many whoppers. The difference was Mitt called him on his.

    Typical pathetic liberal lies, to bad everything Romney said was true. You should be ashamed to call your self an American if you honestly believe those delusion scumbags living in denial on MSNBC the real fact of the matter is obama is the only one who lied and liberal media spreads it and spins the proven facts in to false facts faster than diarrhea and now you are one of them.

    Here are mendacious Mitt's five most outrageous statements:

    1. "I don't have a $5 trillion tax cut." Romney flatly lied about the cost of his proposal to cut income-tax rates across the board by another 20 percent (undercutting even the low rates of the Bush tax cuts). Independent economists at the Tax Policy Center have shown that the price tag for those cuts is $360 billion in the first year, a cost that extrapolates to $5 trillion over a decade.

    2. "I will not reduce the taxes paid by high-income Americans." Romney has claimed that he will pay for his tax cuts by closing a variety of loopholes and deductions. The factual problem? Romney hasn't named a single loophole he's willing to close; worse, there's no way to offset $5 trillion in tax cuts even if you get rid of the entire universe of deductions for the wealthy that Romney has not put off the table (like the carried interest loophole or the 15 percent capital gains rate.) The Tax Policy Center report concludes that Romney's proposal would create a "net tax cut for high-income tax payers and a net tax increase for lower- and or middle-income taxpayers." Moreover, some of Romney's tax cuts are micro-targeted at American dynasties, particularly his proposal to eliminate the estate tax, which would reduce his own sons' tax burden by tens of millions of dollars.

    3. "We've got 23 million people out of work or [who have] stopped looking for work in this country." Romney is lying for effect. The nation's crisis of joblessness is bad, but not 23 million bad. The official figure is 12.5 million unemployed. An additional 2.6 million Americans have stopped looking for jobs. How does Romney gin up his eye-popping 23 million figure? He counts more than 8 million wage earners who hold part-time jobs as also being "out of work."

    4. Obamacare "puts in place an unelected board that's going to tell people ultimately what kind of treatments they can have." Romney is reviving Sarah Palin's old death panels lie here. Obamacare does establish an Independent Payment Advisory Board to help constrain the growth of Medicare spending. The body has no authority to dictate the practices of the private insurance marketplace. And the law also makes explicit that this body is banned from rationing care or limiting medical benefits to seniors.

    5. "Pre-existing conditions are covered under my plan." In the biggest whopper of the night, Romney suggested that his health care proposal would guarantee coverage to Americans with pre-existing conditions. This is just not true. Under Romney, if you have a pre-existing condition and have been unable to obtain insurance coverage or if you have had to drop coverage for more than 90 days because you lost your job or couldn't afford the premiums, you would be **** out of luck. Insurance companies could continue to discriminate and deny you coverage, as even Romney's top adviser conceded after the debate was over.

    Think Progress is a liberally funded outfit run by Judd Legum (George Sorros puppet) and was voted "Best LIBERAL Blog" in 2006 in the WebBlog awards. It's hardly a "truthful" fact check foundation.

    This is a very "unbiased" link. I was surprised they found so little of them. Usually progressives are very thorough in their support of Obama.

    Romney won last nights debate by a a landslide and even liberals admit this. If it was even close, they would declare Obama a winner.

    He gave his speech that he has practiced since 1988.

    Updated, of course, on stage, to suddenly throw the 5 trillion tax cut

    under the bus. He can lie on his feet. I'll give him that.

    Romney is a disgusting liar.

  • 9 years ago

    and where is your proof that these are lies? what makes you think that obama didnt lie? did you not notice that romney would say something, and then obama would say that exact opposite, and romney woupd have to correct obama, even though he had already said it. this cycle happened repeatedly. obama just failed last night. face it.
