.........SNIP.........Romney said he is telling at least 80 percent more lies now than he was two months ago. Buoyed by his strong debate performance, which by his own admission included 40 or 50 instances of lying in one 90-minute period, the candidate said he will continue to just openly lie [his] ass off until the Nov. 6 election.
Whether its a senior citizen, military family, working mother, businessman, or middle-class American, Romney said, he will lie to every single one of them as often as he can if thats what it takes to win the presidency.
The best part is, its really easy to lie, said Romney, who added that voicing whatever untruths come into his mind at any given moment is an easy thing to do because all it requires is opening his mouth and talking. For example, if someone accuses me of having a tax plan that makes no discernable sense, I just lie and say that I do have a tax plan that makes sense. I also say there is a study that backs up my plan. See that? Simple. None of it is remotely true, of course, but now were moving on to the next topic because people are usually too afraid to ask me straight up if Im lying, because that is apparently not something you ask someone who is running for president Romneys campaign advisers said that they adopted the strategy of lying a lot after realizing several things: (1) Lying sounds good, especially when the truth sounds bad, (2) the American media doesnt care if you lie, (3) the American people dont care if you lie, and (4) its okay to lie if you are very, very desperate to become the president of the United States. - The Onion
