Mitt Romney's Campaign Lies and Flip Flops

So, it's already started. The lies, the flip flopping. Saying one thing in one city and then saying something completely different in the next city. All lies just to get himself elected. Here is the thread to post them as they happen!

After supporting his wife's 'choice' to be a stay at home mother, he has now come out with this:

'Mitt Romney: Mothers Should Be Required To Work Outside Home Or Lose Benefits'

"Mitt Romney, however, judging by his January remark, views stay-at-home moms who are supported by federal assistance much differently than those backed by hundreds of millions in private equity income. Poor women, he said, shouldn't be given a choice, but instead should be required to work outside the home to receive Temporary Assistance for Needy Families benefits. "[E]ven if you have a child 2 years of age, you need to go to work," Romney said of moms on TANF."

This comes to mind. Rachel presented the facts here in such a brilliant way, IMO, even Romney's most devoted supporters CAN NOT dispute it. (although I'm sure they will)

After he loses the election, he'll deny ever having run for President.

Yes, this is what my original post was about...

Oops. Sorry about that. Ya see, I am even having trouble keeping track of which lies of his to post.

Let's take bets on how many lies he's going to get caught in?

I bet he's not even a Mormon.

Interesting run-down on possible VP candidates. Another rumor I've heard is Condoleezza Rice, though I could actually see her vying for President against Clinton in 2016.

They don't want a black man as president, but they don't mind a black, female VP?

[Jordan Catalano]

Posted: 4/23/12 at 10:58am

They're going to need a woman VP to show how NOT anti-woman they are.

Well, she's more black than him, and Republicans are more progressive.

Is Romney really 65 or is he gonna flip flop on that, too?

If only the so-called 'liberal media' paid as much attention to Romney's flip-flops as they do to offhand comments by Hilary Rosen...

[L]ast week... Mr. Romney tried to make a closed drywall factory in Ohio a symbol of the Obama administration’s economic failure. It was a symbol, all right — but not in the way he intended.

First of all, many reporters quickly noted a point that Mr. Romney somehow failed to mention: George W. Bush, not Barack Obama, was president when the factory in question was closed. Does the Romney campaign expect Americans to blame President Obama for his predecessor’s policy failure?

What was Rmoney's response to this important fact (the plant was actually closed before Obama took power)?

That factory is still closed, said a Romney adviser, because of the failure of Obama policies “to really get this economy going again.”
It's going to be a very long six months

Does the Romney campaign expect Americans to blame President Obama for his predecessor’s policy failure?

Yes. And the Romnulans will continue to ignore facts.

Mitt Romney is NOW saying the auto bailout was HIS idea.

Mitt the Flip Flopper is also saying he would have killed Bin Laden........however in 2008 he said he wouldn't. This idiot will say ANYTHING to get elected!

And he's still saying it today...

"I'll take a lot of credit for the fact that this industry's come back," Romney told WEWS-TV in Cleveland. Speaking after a campaign stop at a metal stamping facility in nearby Euclid, Romney said the industry needed to enter a "managed bankruptcy" process in order to fully recover – and that was what eventually helped American automakers get back on their feet.

LIAR!

Its frustrating. It's like he has no idea there is this thing called video tape out there where it can be played back months after you say something to disprove what you are currently saying.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LGoKjzwFCQo

The Democrats need to constantly play this video of him back in their ads.Remind the people that Mitt Romney is not only a flip flopper but a liar.The man will say ANYTHING to get elected. I think he will even do ANYTHING to get elected at this point. All anyone has to do is Google search Mitt Romney let Detroit go Bankrupt and anything Mitt says today can be so easily debunked.

Still, Romney and The Republicans rely on the stupidity of Fox News viewers to ignore what they see and hear and instead listen to what THEY TELL YOU to believe.Like I said, it's very frustrating.

I've really lost faith in CNN, since the article I posted was only five hours old, couldn't ANYONE at CNN point out that he's lying instead of just putting up the story?!

"Still, Romney and The Republicans rely on the stupidity of Fox News viewers..."

Sadly, it's much, much more than just Fox 'News' viewers. Many Americans vote blindly based on party, irrespective of whether that party's platform will benefit them. Others are single-issue voters, and are willing to vote against strictly on issue, to the detriment of their overall well being.

Here are a few more things Mitt Romney is taking credit for.

During the Vietnam war, he was Agent Orange

He baptized Jesus

He was Deep Throat

Killing Bin Laden

Ordered the invasion at Normandy

The Chief Architect of the New Deal

Landed an Airplane on the Hudson River

Was the inspiration for James Bond

I could go on and on, but Mitt is sort of modest when it comes to naming all his accomplishments

Too bad he has such a tiny penis.
