What Romney facts are Romney supporters afraid to look at
Example:

The above lists all 27 lies Romney told during the first debate, it has a fun picture on it, a picture that will become famous in the weeks to come.
btw; David Gergen just looked at the 27 confirmed lies by Romney. Gergen apologized for not recognizing them the night of the debate. Gergen said Romney told more lies than anyone could imagine.
Here are a few of Romney’s lies during the debate. Of course, the above link lists all of them.
2) “I don’t have a $5 trillion tax cut. I don’t have a tax cut of a scale that you’re talking about.” A Tax Policy Center analysis of Romney’s proposal for a 20 percent across-the-board tax cut in all federal income tax rates, eliminating the Alternative Minimum Tax, eliminating the estate tax and other tax reductions, would reduce federal revenue $480 billion in 2015. This amounts to $5 trillion over the decade.
3) “My view is that we ought to provide tax relief to people in the middle class. But I’m not going to reduce the share of taxes paid by high-income people.” If Romney hopes to provide tax relief to the middle class, then his $5 trillion tax cut would add to the deficit. There are not enough deductions in the tax code that primarily benefit rich people to make his math work.
4) “My — my number-one principal is, there will be no tax cut that adds to the deficit. I want to underline that: no tax cut that adds to the deficit.” As the Tax Policy Center concluded, Romney’s plan can’t both exempt middle class families from tax cuts and remain revenue neutral. “He’s promised all these things and he can’t do them all. In order for him to cover the cost of his tax cut without adding to the deficit, he’d have to find a way to raise taxes on middle income people or people making less than $200,000 a year,” the Center found.
5) “I will not under any circumstances raise taxes on middle-income families. I will lower taxes on middle-income families. Now, you cite a study. There are six other studies that looked at the study you describe and say it’s completely wrong.” The studies Romney cites actually further prove that Romney would, in fact, have to raise taxes on the middle class if he were to keep his promise not to lose revenue with his tax rate reduction.
6) “I saw a study that came out today that said you’re going to raise taxes by $3,000 to $4,000 on middle-income families.” Romney is pointing to this study from the American Enterprise Institute. It actually found that rather than raise taxes to pay down the debt, the Obama administration’s policies — those contained directly in his budget — would reduce the share of taxes that go toward servicing the debt by $1,289.89 per taxpayer in the $100,000 to $200,000 range.

you imagine you've each of the solutions yet convinced John McCain has a extra effective probability than the Democrat candidate by way of the indisputable fact that guy does no longer have the experience, information and and adulthood for that workplace. that is been proved that Obama does no longer have the experience to be president and Palin is extra experienced via being governor than the almost 100 and fifty days that the Jr. Senator has served.

I am with you. That is the problem with Romney. You don't know which Romney you are voting for. The Romney at the debates sounded electable, but all other Romneys have not. He was convincing even when he lied, and he proposed some moderate things that were a total u-turn from previous positions. It is all messed up.

After graduating from both Harvard Business School and Harvard Law School simultaneously, he passed the Michigan bar but never worked as an attorney.
He was an unpaid volunteer campaign worker for his dad's gubernatorial campaign 1 year. He was an unpaid intern in his dad’s governor’s office for eight years.
In 1984, he co-founded Bain Capital a private equity investment firm.
Under his leadership, Bain Capital, starting with one small office supply store in Massachusetts, turned it into Staples; now over 2,000 stores employing 90,000 people.
He also worked to perform the same kinds of business miracles again and again, with companies like Domino's Pizza, Sealy, Brookstone, Weather Channel, Burger King, Monsanto, Burlington, Warner Music Group, Dollarama, Home Depot Supply, Sports Authority, Steel Dynamics (SDI) which has since grown to become the fifth-largest U.S. producer of carbon-steel products, and many other successful companies.

He took no salary and was the unpaid Governor of Massachusetts for four years.
In 2008, Romney and his wife, Ann, were awarded the Becket Fund's prestigious Canterbury Medal for "Courage in the Defense of Religious Liberty”.
Romney has released his full Tax returns for 2011 and 2010 — and a summary of his federal tax payments since 1990. The Romneys paid state and federal taxes in each of the last 20 years; their effective tax rate in 2011 was 14.1 percent. From a summary prepared by PricewaterhouseCoopers they know the couple’s average annual effective federal tax rate from 1990 to 2009 was 20.20 percent.
