From Obama's non-existent "apology tour"s to lies about immigration ad health care -
Romeny is
LIAR LIAR
PANTS OF FIRE
While I find this beyond shocking, what follows is not suitable reading for rw's. Rather than the pages of name calling and insults, how about if we all just stipulate that even though its all FACTUAL and WELL REFERENCED, its from a liberal source and therefore should be ignored by rw's.
There. See now? Isn't that easier than page after page of potty mouthed children throwing tantrums?

(This is the second longest list of the year -- and the quotes below are entirely real, not satire.)
1. At a town-hall forum in Mount Vernon, Ohio, Romney said of President Obama, "He said he was going to cut the deficit in half; he's doubled it."
Romney is still having trouble with the definition of "double." The deficit on Obama's first day was $1.3 trillion. Last year, it was also $1.3 trillion. This year, it's projected to be $1.1 trillion. When he says the president "doubled" the deficit, as he has many times, Romney's lying.
2. At the same event, condemning the Affordable Care Act, Romney said, "We'll let people choose the plans they want, as opposed to the plan that the president thinks he and the bureaucrats in Washington, D.C., are going to impose on the American people."
As Romney surely knows -- his state-based policy works the same way -- the whole point of the Affordable Care Act is to provide consumers with choices of private plans, made available through regulated exchanges. Giving people choices in place and "imposing" a plan are opposites.
3. Romney added, "[W]hen I went to the Olympics and helped guide the Olympics, I learned as well you got to balance the budget here or we'll be in real trouble."
In context, Romney made it sound as if he balanced the Olympics' books through skill. In reality, he balanced his budget at the Olympics thanks to a taxpayer bailout.
4. In an interview with the editorial board of the Des Moines Register, Romney argued, "I know the Obama people are excited about trying to find a way to say, 'Oh, you're going to raise taxes on middle-income people,' and I keep pointing out, 'No, no.'"
Yes, yes.
5. In the same interview, Romney said that under his proposed plan, "[W]e get to a balanced budget in eight, 10 years."
No we don't. Romney says his plan "can't be scored," but independent budget analysts have found his agenda would make the deficit bigger, not smaller, and add trillions to the national debt.
