Romney's Campaign Strategy: Lie, Lie, and Lie Some More

[Stephanie]

oh he's reforming welfare alright, just like he took preference over Illegal Immigrants over you American people in that 8% unemployed,

but you ObamaBots just go ahead and cheer him on, and VOTE for him flushing you down the toilet

I'm surprised at how uninformed folks like you are. Rarely, if ever specific.

You are wrong on both counts of your bs pixel bite.

At best you come across as someone who would suffocate themselves if Obama came out in favor of oxygen. I know of a few of your type personally and in-person, so I know at least a few of you anomaly's of human existence due in fact exist among us.

who gives a shit who you know
shut your condescending pie hole

The Romney camp is boldly lying because they are making a calculation that it will work! We better hope it doesn't.

The Romney campaign has turned to a strategy of swamping the public with flat-out, blatant lies, one after another, again and again, endlessly and lavishly repeated. They do this because they are making a calculation that it will work! So what is going on? And can democracy survive this assault?

The Growing List Of Lies

This week's lie is the "Obama gutted welfare reform" nonsense. See Bill Scher's must-read response, Romney's Welfare Lie: A Betrayal Of Conservatism. The reporting conveys the Romney message, like this: Romney accuses Obama of dismantling welfare reform. The lie is driven home by a massive $$-driven carpet bombing of ads.

The next-most recent lies was the "Obama is trying to keep military families from voting" lie. This lie, repeated over and over, coordinated with outside groups, reinforces the "Democrats are anti-military" narrative.

Before that was the "You didn't build that" lie, where the Romney campaigndoctored audio to make it sound as though President Obama said something he didn't say. (And got away with it.) This lie, repeated over and over, reinforces the "Democrats are anti-business" narrative.

This one on welfare reinforces the "Democrats take your money and give it to black people" narrative. "We will end a culture of dependency and restore a culture of good, hard work," said Romney, promising to make them work good and hard.

Rachel Maddow's blog has been keeping track of the Romney lies, and it is a loooooong list.

Truth is the rich are damn rich, and we should tweak the rules a bit so working folks can get a bit of the pie, now it's Romney's job to make rich people as rich as possible, he can't very well going around telling people that.

Mr. Romney Reinvents History

Mitt Romney wrapped the most important speech of his life, for Thursday night’s session of his convention, around an extraordinary reinvention of history — that his party rallied behind President Obama when he won in 2008, hoping that he would succeed. “That president was not the choice of our party,” he said. “We are a good and generous people who are united by so much more than divides us.”

The truth, rarely heard this week in Tampa, Fla., is that the Republicans charted a course of denial and obstruction from the day Mr. Obama was inaugurated, determined to deny him a second term by denying him any achievement, no matter the cost to the economy or American security — even if it meant holding the nation’s credit rating hostage to a narrow partisan agenda.

The links are no doubt based on the "findings" of a little army of TAX EXEMPT propaganda nerds employed by the Tax Exempt Media Matters and American Bridge and perhaps a dozen other junk-info sources. When the administration has total control of most of the media you get junk science, junk philosophy and junk assumptions disguised as information and the ignorant left laps it up like pablum.
