Mendacious Mitt The Mormon Untruth Teller


We have seen time and time again in the months of this election, Mitt Romney telling one lie after another. And when he is called on one lie he just moves on to another lie. Sometimes if the whoppers he told worked well he will come back to them later. All this lying has peaked in his bald faced lie about Chrysler and its Jeep line going to China. It the face of a public denial by Chrysler, he has repeated the lie in an ad defending his lie. He has to lie because he has no platform to run on but what else is working here.
Romney is lying because Romney has to lie. It’s the best card he has to play in a stacked deck, betting on the ignorance and short term memory of the electorate. Oh, and rightwing racial hatred. Romney knows that if he were to tell too much of the truth then he would have to switch sides and begin campaigning for Obama, so instead he and his crew of ankle biters have conspired to weave an intricate alternate universe where the truth is defined strictly by the degree to which it benefits Romney. For instance, in RomneyWorld, Romney never told Detroit to go bankrupt, he only suggested that they consider a managed bankruptcy and Obama stole his idea from him. In RomneyWorld, Obama Care was modeled after..well…something else. In RomneyWorld, a steady if somewhat slowly improving unemployment rate (5.2 million jobs over the past 31 months) is not what a recovery looks like.
He says what his audience wants to hear and if the next crowd wants to hear just the opposite, so be it.
