As is becoming increasingly clear to anyone paying attention to the 2012 presidential election, the Ryan/Romney campaign has given up all hope of winning on the issues and on their record and have resorted to unprecedented lying — literally making things up about President Obama and then putting it out as truth in stump speeches, online videos, television ads, appearances by surrogates on news programs and in fundraising emails.

It's a freakin' lie-fest

To date Romney’s mendacity has run the gamut from the deliberate misrepresentation of Obama policies to a seemingly compulsive tendency to distort the President’s message by cutting and pasting quotes at will. His disregard for the truth is so profound that it prompted journalist Joe Klein—who has covered Washington since the Nixon years—to comment that he “can’t remember a candidate so brazenly allergic to facts.” PolitiFact.com has given the presumptive GOP candidate so many “Pants on Fire” nominations that it’s a wonder he can still sit down. And still the former Massachusetts moderate turned Tea Party maven trudges on, telling one whopper after another (or sitting quietly by while his supporters do), no doubt with a big box of Kleenex nearby just in case he inadvertently kicks up some truth.

Myth 1: President Obama is trying to undermine military voting rights.

Myth 2: President Obama wants to eliminate the work requirement from welfare.

Myth 3: President Obama demonizes small business.

Hey, are you picking on poor wittle Mittens and his protege, The Boy Wonder again...?!

'Cuz don'tcha know, they're "special" and "entitled", so things like honesty and accountability don't apply to them!!

In comparison to these two, Sarah Palin was an honest Abe.

Each of those 3 "myths" has merit to them.

But one would have to put on their "critical thinking cap" and go off an research for themselves rather then read biased articles that exaggerate and/or cherry pick items so that the entire story is not told.

Speaking of lies and broken promises . . .

1. Whatever happened about that quick close down of Gitmo that Obama promised us?

2. Why do we still have troops in the middle east? I thought one of his campaign promises was to get 'em out quickly.

3. Now GM . . . refresh my memory . . . weren't they supposed to pay that bail out money back?

I will have to go back and re-read all those Hope and Change promises - since we are talking about campaign hooey and who has been dishonest and who hasn't.

What about all the lies and distortions that the Obama campaign and Obama surrogates are spreading about Romney?
