How could anyone vote for a known repeat Liar (Romney) for the Presidency?

Honestly....

I have never heard so many blatant (and fact checkable) lies coming out of the mouth of one running as the nominee of any party (apart from the Newt). Even the biggest asshole candidates in the past based much of their campaign remarks on some shade of the truth...but not this guy! He's willing to make shit up and tell it to the American people with a straight face.

I don't know about you, but I find this very frightening and detrimental to our democracy (as much as those who are attempting to keep voters from voting)....as it shows a man devoid of any intergrity who will say anything, anytime, for the sole purpose of getting himself and his party ahead.

I realize that he has chosen to run against a made up President who doesn't exist.....but that is not an excuse, as it only showcases that Romney can lie without conscience....and I just can't see that this is what America should even want!

All I can say is that we need to show these MF, and we need to work like hell to GET THE VOTE OUT!

Which is why I will never "trust" the media, among many other reasons.....

That is what makes our country the biggest sham......this "free" press of ours....
they fucking suck to a dangerous level...which is why, even when they at times side
with the way I view things, I still know they have an agenda, which isn't mine!

Some cons say he was too 'liberal', and the smart ones are just too embarrassed to mention him.

When he said " If Saddam Hussien had not thrown out the weapons inspectors we wouldn't be there today."

It was GWB that threw them out. Even though they KNEW were the WMD were.

And Saddam provided 12000 or 20000 documents proving he didn't have WMDs.

Which turned out to be the ...shall we say...fact..

Meanwhile Romney's kids were not even Mormon chaplins in the military.

Yeah and monkeys may fly out of my ass... opps there goes one now!!!

inspectors ... said something to the effect of "If you stay in there, we won't guarantee your safety."

And then, after the invasion and occupation, they found chemical weapons ... with the same seals in place and intact the U.N. had placed on them when they inspected them ... in 1991 or 1992 or so ... and the RWers were saying "SEE!!!??? WE TOLD YOU HE HAD WMDS!!!"
