Mitt Romney says many, many things that are not true. He says this despite being in possession of the correct facts of the matter.

Which is to say that Mitt Romney lies. A lot. He lies more than any other national candidate for office in my lifetime. And I was born before the Nixon administration.

This is documented. Proven. Validated, verified, demonstrated, catalogued and quantified. Mitt Romney lies.
Here are 30 — 30! — of Benen’s weekly “chronicling” posts.

These are all backed up and sourced. These are not assertions, interpretations or allegations. These are facts, actual instances.Source

I think we are about to see what a huge advantage an incumbent has in this day and age.

With all the fact checking of the challenger, it sure behooves the incumbent to stay at least somewhat honest.

So what you are saying is that Romney has to work much harder just to come close to matching the number of lies spewed by Obama.

Perhaps this is what you're saying.

I'm certain what I wrote was clear; however, if there's any ambiguity - go back, and read what I wrote.

The RWNJs are so far removed from reality that their entire existence is a lie. How can they discern truth or even more why would they want to. The USA they are constantly praising and loving is a figment of their twisted imaginations. it has never existed and never will. They are so bad that many times when I have recognized a complete and utter lie coming from one or another of them, it was not even necessary in any way to lie. That is just the default position of their existence.

Look at Ryan for example. Lying about his marathon running is a sympton of a very unstable personality. He really must lack self esteem to a huge degree. I have met many pathological liars in my life and they all share with Ryan the characteristic that their lies are obvious and so easily uncovered. Their minds just don't seem capable of understanding that concept. One thing I have learned from experience is that this type of person can NOT BE TRUSTED at all.

So, here we have a rising star in the GOP. Rubio by name. It turns out that the guy's entire life story is a complete lie. His family DID NOT flee from Castro's Cuba at all but left years before while Cuba was still under the Batista regime. The GOP obviously don't think this invention of his life is important. That's very scary in it's self. Just think back a few years when many American institutions operated under the "honor system". He would be immediately be permanently thrown out of such a place and become a person non grata to all concerned with upholding the integrity of the institution.

That is a good discription of the GOP today. An institution that can not be trusted, can not be believed and does not deserve to be in a position of trust.

Obama lies every time he opens his mouth and has been doing that for well over 4 years.

The thing that really concerns me, and that raises lots of eyebrows in the common sense crowd, is that the "teavangelicals" seem to operate in their own world, with a different set of "facts" than the rest of us. You can't just make things up to back your viewpoint and then call it the truth, because once you leave your own little circle, you're going to be called out for it.

Notice there's been NO attempt to argue this simple statement in fact:
