Romney Gets Caught Lying at NRA Convention

[Calamari]

I see that you still can't prove him wrong or address the topic.

[Mike Evans]

Lol, if I was the president I will just keep playing the meet the press interview

[Jeebus]

I can understand a little shading of the truth

Of course you can, as it is your primary posting method here.

but this guy is out and out lying.

So you and he have a lot in common.

"Mitchum" accusing someone of lying. That's really pretty frickin' hilarious.

He must go through a lot of Windex living in that glass house.

[Creekman]

Interesting question. Ask the President about that. Then ask him why he promised to let the Bush tax cuts expire and then extended them when he had to chance to fulfill his campaign promise.

See post #12!

It's hilarious that you are just like the notorious liar here.

If that's true, then it should be easy for you to show how everything Governor Romney said was correct.

If 'Mitchum' was running for President, you'd have something...


that Romney was not honest in his remarks is probably the nicest thing that could be said.

Romney & Obama - they both suck. Although Romney sucks a lot less than Gingrich, Santorum or Perry. Are the Libertarians running anyone this time?

Talk about damning with faint praise.....

[Calamari]

I hope you all realize that what Romney is doing by lying is to demonstrate his credentials. The Republican base wants to see with what frequency and severity their new savior lies, and the more he does the more they will approve of him.

Delusional drivel from libbie nutters that are proven liars is not even worth addressing.

Wrong - just as the Demmies settled for "anyone but Bush" the Repubs just want "anyone but Obama" and if that person is Mitt, so be it.

ANYONE but baracka.

Suckers.

[zenwalk]

He did it for the same reason that Reagan raised taxes... Compromise. The republicans refused to let any bills get passed until the tax cuts were extended...

The Dems as usual didn't exploit this fact though. That was the battleground, the armegeddon moment and the Dems didn't engage because why? Because we live in an oligarchy.

Judging by the level of discourse on this thread, this is going to be a very illuminating campaign, a real referendum on the issues. The usual progressive posse postulates, "Liar liar pants on fire!" To which the conservatives retort, "Sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me!" The Democrats' nuanced response is "Yo mama!," to which the Republicans factually point out, "Oh yeah? Take this!"

Real mature. Politics has become a joke. When Lincoln debated Douglas thousands of people stood all day in the hot sun to hear what the candidates had to say. Today we can hardly be bothered to follow up on a ten-second sound bite before deciding to vote for the empty suit who best reflects our own preconceptions.

Hush, don't confuse the issue with facts.

By distorting and then dismissing the Democrat's factual argument about where Romney lied, your post actually is a better display of the problems with political argument. Ironic!

What the man said is either true or it's not; that has nothing to do with whomever asked the question.

If you were a liberal, betamanlet would be pointing out (for the 7,000,000th time) that your personal attacks mean you can't answer, but I don't believe that because, for instance, if I tell someone that 2 plus 2 equals 4 and at the same time tell them that they're an idiot, 2 plus 2 does not become 5.

Please point out a politician who does not make his living by saying what his audience wants to hear (a euphemism for lying). I'm not saying it is admirable, but it is a cause, an effect and a symptom of where the political process is today. Running to the extreme in the primaries, then running to the middle in the general election is standard procedure for both parties, and you are not truthful if you claim otherwise. A politician who speaks the truth and says what he intends to do and tries to do what he says will never be elected.

Contrast what you are saying now to what you said in your second paragraph. Your sentiments now are the prime example of what you were saying then.

My point exactly. I'm not sure if we're agreeing here or not, but that's it.
