Related: About this forumMitt Romney's Most Dishonest Speech
It seems that with every day that passes, the Mittster sets news markers in outright brazen lying.
Yesterday's so-called speech on foreign policy at VMI was no exception. In fact, Slate's Fred Kaplan touts this speech as the "most dishonest" and thoroughly dissects it.
One takeaway:

After describing Romney's leading with with the attacks on the Libyan consulate (which some might think that Romney would do well to avoid bringing up at all ) and stating that the "threats have grown so much worse ..." while President Obama does nothing, Kaplan notes:
Yet Romney ignored the reasons why the riots subsided and why the Libyan people went after the militants.
This is only the beginning. More at the link: http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/politics/2012/10/mitt_romney_foreign_policy_speech_at_the_virginia_military_institute_was_the_most_dishonest_one_he_has_delivered_yet_.single.html
It's a good read and Kaplan is an example of one journalist who is actually doing his job. Good show!

The mainstream media calling out Romney as a liar?
I don't see that happening.

(8,064 posts)mitt is extraordinally arrogant right now because his "sugar high" from his blip of a "bump"
still has effect on his little brain.
look for him to double down on his lies (creating great opportunity for the Obama team to create ads)
all the way to election day. all the obama team has to do is show mitt flip flopping over and
over and over. GAME. OVER.
