Imagine standing in front of people and lying about what

the President said about government and business on Tuesday and then plagiarizing what the President actually said the next day.

Willard Rmoney is a greasy dishonest ReTHUG scumbag. He's an awful human being.

Sadly very few in the media called him for it. Indeed Rmoney was using Fox's edited version of what Obama said to make an ideological point about government.

Have you noticed the (R) political ads using bits of text from various articles, Op Eds and LTTEs to make a negative political point? It doesn't matter the source or whether it's credible, they're throwing them out there with absolutely no regard for anything approaching the truth - as long as they can cite the paper or magazine that printed those words.

It's beyond disgusting.

They could quote only stuff from places like World Net Daily or Newsmax as if they're credible sources.

Fox picks up their stuff all the time.
Remember Rupert the scumbag told Rmoney it was time to take off the gloves and attack Obama - indeed he started this before Scumbaugh!

Romney will come in after practicing against the FOX "News" version of Obama and make a complete ass of himself.

As far as World Nut Daily, the Right Wing TV preachers use them as a source all the time to prove the end is nigh so who knows? The Romney campaign could see them as a treasure trove if they want to go full out crazy.

post repeats the lie in a story about it.

When Obama said "you didn't' build that", he was talking about the infrastructure that supports us all.

Romney is telling people that the phrase refers to private businesses.

I am thoroughly disgusted with this guy. What a cheat.

an entitled prick and a first rate bully. What's more I think when he went to that elite school he ran into the really rich and felt inadequate - enough is never enough for this unprincipled ReTHUG scumbag.

I can exercise power over that person. He has self esteem issues, probably brought on by his Dad. He needs therapy, not the Presidency.

A full blown sociopath that happens to be leading Obama by one point in a poll I saw on msnbc this morning.

Hell, he could probably sport a Hitler mustache and we'd still elect him!

Romney has been taking Pres. Obama's words out of context since the beginning of the campaign. I don't see how he can do that with a straight face, with no embarrassment. Does he think people won't find out?

Most people just accept what they hear on the TV or see in an ad.
