Bishop Mitt's Cathedral of Lies.
Normally in an election campaign, the candidate and staff will swear up one end of the country and down the other that everything they say is true. As part of the constant Republican/Teabagger drumbeat declaring black is white and up is down, Mitten's Masters of Mendacity have publicly declared that they will not bother to make any effort to tell the truth. And they proudly state that the more effective their lies, the more they will use it.
Mitt Romney's campaign said on Tuesday that its ads attacking President Obama's waiver policy on welfare have been its most effective to date. And while the spots have been roundly criticized as lacking any factual basis, the campaign said it didn't really care.When it gets in the way, throw honesty under the bus. It will just confuse the Foxsuckers who have never been exposed to it.
"We're not going to let our campaign be dictated by fact-checkers," Romney pollster Neil Newhouse said at a panel organized by ABC News. This is a different standard than the one Romney himself has held up for the election-season ad wars. Reacting to attacks by a pro-Obama super PAC, Romney recently told a radio station that "in the past, when people pointed out that something was inaccurate, why, campaigns pulled the ad."
