The new Romney lie today

Romney surrogates are all over the TV this morning with the "he released two years of returns" meme. This is a lie. He only released 2010. For once, the msm has been doing its job and calling them out on it and correcting the lie.

This is a typical republican tactic. Repeat the lie over and over and at the same time attempt to tie the number of two years to other candidates in an attempt to make it look like Romney has done the same as others and that the demands for additional returns are unreasonable. The republicans have gotten away with this approach for so long that it must now be surprising to them that they are not getting away with it this time around.

They certainly ran with Rove's lies about Kerry in 2004. K&R
