The campaign of Mitt Romney said bluntly Tuesday that they were going to continue running untruthful ads about President Barack Obama, because the ads are working.
<snip>
The new information in the ad is that Obama plans to eliminate work requirements added to welfare in the 1996 reform law signed by President Bill Clinton. This information is new to voters because it is flatly untrue; the Obama administration is simply not doing what the Romney campaign claims they are doing.
<snip>
The ads complete falsity and attack on welfare recipients has made it clear that the Romney campaign is seeking to use race as a wedge issue, in order to peel off enough white votes from Obama to win the election. With Romney cracking birther jokes and ripping the NAACP, its become pretty obvious that Romney is trying to stoke the fires of racial resentment in order to oust the countrys first African American president.
Romney is so intent on a racist campaign that hes willing to flat-out lie to do so. Will it work? Thats up to the American people to decide.

(149,727 posts)Obama and his team need to be out there, making political hay out of this one.
It is crucial to our winning.
Liars and cheats have no business in our White House.

(24,774 posts)Here's one example:
Romney and Ryan have secret plans not only to ban abortion even in cases of rape, incest, and to save the life of the mother, but they are plotting to take it even further: They want not only to legalize rape, but also to execute rape victims.
Here's another:
Romney and Ryan have been lying about Obama's work requirements regarding welfare benefits. Yet they don't bother to tell you is that they want to keep the work requirements, only they want to knock you off the welfare rolls. Their secret plan is to build concentration camps that they want filled by you: the average American struggling to keep food on your families' tables. If you vote Republican this fall, you will end up in their slave labor camps; it's not a matter of if, but when.
A third scenario:
Romney and Ryan preach freedom, liberty, a free market, and small government. They're hiding the fact that they're plotting on suspending the Constitution, jailing and torturing Democrats so they can't vote against them, and making Mormonism the state religion. Anyone who isn't Mormon risks indefinite detention without charges filed against them.
I know what youse are going to say: where are the facts? I say let's make'em deny what we're charging. In other words, if they can play the race card, we can play the gender card.
Why are the biggest liars in history "religious" repigs? Isn't lying a sin or something?
If there is even the REMOTEST chance of Flip-Flopper & Medicare-Destroyer being elected, America is washed up.
