[Benny B]

Once the PHONY Mormon gets trounced in November, we won't have to deal with his lies, tax evasion, and secrecy any more.  

Chronicling Mitt's Mendacity:


After more than six months of marveling at Mitt Romney's propensity for falsehoods, I have to admit it was unsettling to see his campaign's new attack ad, launched yesterday. The spot accuses President Obama of making "untrue" claims about Romney shipping jobs overseas -- Obama's claims are actually quite credible -- and concludes that the president is running a "dishonest campaign."

Think about that for a moment. The candidate whose entire campaign has been built on one falsehood after another, the candidate whose dishonesty is routinely characterized as "almost pathological," the candidate whose near-constant lying puts him in a league of his own among modern politicians, is complaining that his rival is taking liberties with the facts.

There's dishonesty in politics, and then there's meta-dishonesty in politics.

Romney's spokesperson this week declared, "America deserves ... a president who's willing to tell the truth." That seems more than fair. Perhaps the Romney camp can reevaluate that demand after reading the 25th installment of my weekly series, chronicling Mitt's mendacity.

1. In an interview with Fox Business Network's Neil Cavuto, Romney insisted, "Obamacare is killing jobs."

There is literally no evidence to support this claim in any way.

2. In the same interview, Romney, asked about his tax returns, said, "We have of course released all of the financial statements that are required by law and then released two years of tax returns."

Actually, he's only released his tax returns for one full year. Two years wouldn't be enough, but it'd be an improvement.

3. Romney also told Cavuto, of the existing disclosure, "So tax information is there and other financial disclosure is there."

I wish that were true, but the whole point of the recent controversy is that "other financial disclosure" isn't there. We learned about his shell corporation in Bermuda based on one year's tax returns, but we don't know what other disclosures exist because Romney has kept previous returns hidden from the public.

4. Also on Fox Business, Romney said his tax disclosures include "the same information" John Kerry released during his 2004 campaign.

That's plainly false. During his presidential run eight years ago, Kerry released five years of tax returns, and during his Senate campaigns, made a habit of releasing several years' worth of tax documents as part of a commitment to disclosure.

5. Criticizing President Obama's tax-cut plan, Romney said the proposal constitutes "a massive tax increase."

Well, that's obviously a subjective matter, but in reality, 98% of Americans would get a tax cut under the plan.

6. Attacking the same plan, Romney said the White House plan "is the sort of thing only an extreme liberal could come up with."

"Extreme liberals" aren't the only people who can think of middle-class tax cut, and there's really nothing "extreme" at all about the president's proposal.

7. At a town-hall meeting in Grand Junction, Colorado, Romney claimed Obama is "putting money into energy companies, solar and wind energy companies that end up making their products outside the United States."

Every aspect to this claim is patently untrue.

8. At the same event, Romney claimed, "This president has increased the rate of new major regulations by about threefold over his predecessor."

That's false. Obama approved fewer regulations in his first three years in office than Bush did in his first three years.

9. Romney added, "I'm going to look at all the programs we have in government and ask this question: Is this program so critical to America that it's worth borrowing money from China to pay for it?"

At a minimum, that's misleading. The implication here is that U.S. debt is financed by the Chinese, but this isn't true -- China only holds about 8% of the nation's debt.

10. Romney went on to say he's "going to get rid of ObamaCare" so the government won't have to borrow more money.

According to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, the Affordable Care Act will save over $100 billion over the next decade, and over $1 trillion in the decade after that. Romney has it backwards -- we would need to borrow more money if he does "get rid of Obamacare."

11. He added that "dreams are being crushed when taxes go up and up and up on job creators."

Taxes haven't gone up; they've gone down. In fact, Americans' federal tax burden has down and down and down, reaching a 30-year low after Obama cut taxes in 2009.

12. At the same event, Romney said the Affordable Care Act "cuts Medicare by $500 billion."

Romney says this a lot. He's not telling the truth.

13. He also said "no, no, no" to the notion that he would "cut" Medicare.

Romney endorsed Paul Ryan's House Republican Budget plan, which ends the Medicare program and replaces it with a private voucher scheme.

14. In response to a question about the tax code, Romney argued, "For me ... this campaign is about the middle class, and about the poor. It's not about the rich. The rich are going to do fine, whosever elected."

First, Romney intends to give the wealthy a massive tax cut (while they keep their existing massive tax cut). Second, Romney said in February he's "not concerned about the very poor."

15. In his speech to the NAACP, Romney went off-script and said, "You know, there was a survey of the Chamber of Commerce. They carried out a survey of their members, about 1,500 surveyed. And they asked him what effect Obama care would have on their plans and three-quarters of them said it would make them less likely to hire people."

That's not what happened. The Chamber, a pro-Republican lobbying institution heavily invested in helping Romney, put up an unscientific online survey. Treating this as a legitimate poll of businesses is fundamentally dishonest.

16. Responding to an interview the president did with CBS, Romney argued, "President Obama believes that millions of Americans have lost their homes, their jobs and their livelihood because he failed to tell a good story."

Based on what Obama actually said, there is no universe in which that makes any sense at all.

17. Romney's campaign claimed that health care premiums "are $4,893 higher per family than President Obama promised" in 2008.

The claim is both deeply foolish and completely untrue.

18. In a speech in New Hampshire, responding to the new jobs report, Romney complained, "The highest corporate tax rates in the world do not create jobs."

American corporations do not pay the highest tax rates in the world.

19. Describing economic policies that would improve matters, Romney added, "Opening up new markets in Latin America. The president hasn't done that in three and a half years -- no new trade agreements."

I don't know why Romney keeps telling this lie, but he does.

20. In the same speech, Romney added, "Failing to effectively crack down on China for cheating and stealing American jobs -- that has not helped."

Obama has already cracked down on China in ways Romney doesn't seem to understand.

21. Romney went on to say, "The president's policies have not gotten America working again."

Of course they have.

22. Asked about his lack of specific ideas on the economy, Romney argued, "I don't think I've seen any from the president that -- that show what he's planning on doing."

Romney doesn't have to like the American Jobs Act, but he shouldn't get away with brazenly lying about its existence.

23. In response to a reporter's question about health care, Romney said, "You know, I've spoken about health care from the day we passed it in -- in Massachusetts and people said, is this something that you'd apply at the federal level? And I said no."

He's clearly not telling the truth.

24. Commenting on his plans to eliminate the deficit, Romney argued, "What I describe in my plan is a series of changes to programs and elimination of programs which save more and more money over time, so we're able to get America to a balanced budget in eight to 10 years -- not in the first year, but eight to 10 years."

There's overwhelming evidence to the contrary. Romney says his plan "can't be scored," but independent budget analysts have found his agenda would make the deficit bigger, not smaller, and add trillions to the national debt.

25. At a fundraiser in Montana, Romney told supporters, "The great majority of small business -- 54% of American workers work in businesses taxed as individuals. So when the president wants to raise taxes on individuals as he's proposed from 35% to 40%, he kills jobs. If your priority is crushing people, vote for him."

Only about 3% of American small businesses would be affected by the higher rate, and there is literally no evidence to suggest Clinton-era top rates on the wealthy "kills jobs."

In conclusion, Jay Rosen argued yesterday that Romney and his team appear to be running a "post-truth" campaign, working under the assumption that the media isn't equipped to report the lies. It's a story that's "too big to tell."

It's a fair point, and with just 115 days until the election, it's a dynamic well worth watching.

And they asked him what effect Obama care would have on their plans and three-quarters of them said it would make them less likely to hire people."

That's not what happened. The Chamber, a pro-Republican lobbying institution heavily invested in helping Romney, put up an unscientific online survey. Treating this as a legitimate poll of businesses is fundamentally dishonest.

16. Responding to an interview the president did with CBS, Romney argued, "President Obama believes that millions of Americans have lost their homes, their jobs and their livelihood because he failed to tell a good story."

Based on what Obama actually said, there is no universe in which that makes any sense at all.

17. Romney's campaign claimed that health care premiums "are $4,893 higher per family than President Obama promised" in 2008.

The claim is both deeply foolish and completely untrue.

18. In a speech in New Hampshire, responding to the new jobs report, Romney complained, "The highest corporate tax rates in the world do not create jobs."

American corporations do not pay the highest tax rates in the world.

19. Describing economic policies that would improve matters, Romney added, "Opening up new markets in Latin America. The president hasn't done that in three and a half years -- no new trade agreements."

I don't know why Romney keeps telling this lie, but he does.

20. In the same speech, Romney added, "Failing to effectively crack down on China for cheating and stealing American jobs -- that has not helped."

Obama has already cracked down on China in ways Romney doesn't seem to understand.

21. Romney went on to say, "The president's policies have not gotten America working again."

Of course they have.

22. Asked about his lack of specific ideas on the economy, Romney argued, "I don't think I've seen any from the president that -- that show what he's planning on doing."

Romney doesn't have to like the American Jobs Act, but he shouldn't get away with brazenly lying about its existence.

23. In response to a reporter's question about health care, Romney said, "You know, I've spoken about health care from the day we passed it in -- in Massachusetts and people said, is this something that you'd apply at the federal level? And I said no."

He's clearly not telling the truth.

24. Commenting on his plans to eliminate the deficit, Romney argued, "What I describe in my plan is a series of changes to programs and elimination of programs which save more and more money over time, so we're able to get America to a balanced budget in eight to 10 years -- not in the first year, but eight to 10 years."

There's overwhelming evidence to the contrary. Romney says his plan "can't be scored," but independent budget analysts have found his agenda would make the deficit bigger, not smaller, and add trillions to the national debt.

25. At a fundraiser in Montana, Romney told supporters, "The great majority of small business -- 54% of American workers work in businesses taxed as individuals. So when the president wants to raise taxes on individuals as he's proposed from 35% to 40%, he kills jobs. If your priority is crushing people, vote for him."

Only about 3% of American small businesses would be affected by the higher rate, and there is literally no evidence to suggest Clinton-era top rates on the wealthy "kills jobs."

In conclusion, Jay Rosen argued yesterday that Romney and his team appear to be running a "post-truth" campaign, working under the assumption that the media isn't equipped to report the lies. It's a story that's "too big to tell."

It's a fair point, and with just 115 days until the election, it's a dynamic well worth watching.

Problem with that is like everything the left.says....its easily debunked because they're pathological liars.

Great...but that wasn't my question.

[andreisdaman]

WORKED?!?!?!? HAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH

Fuck that. His grades were complete shit, he got into harvard law because of his skin color. He became a professor, which many people at the school highly disagreed with the idiot being there(wow such a hard lifechanging job teaching 6 hours a week). He then became a career politician. WTF does this guy know about work???!!? Romney made his millions on his own through smart investing. Who gives a shit if he was born rich?? He was a boss on his own and turned around a lot of companies and banked because of his due diligence, risk taking, and smart investing.

interesting....and white people don't get things because of their skin color...............okay

[Mattyh7688]

interesting....and white people don't get things because of their skin color...............okay

I don't remember anything being handed to me because I was white. I did however see many black scholarships given in my high school and college, on the sole basis of the color of their skin.

holy fuck......white students are given scholarships as well and its not always for academic reasons...many get into schools due to legacies created by their fathers being there even though they themselves are not great students.....many get in because daddy gave the school money.....or because who they know..many minorities don't have the money or contacts to get into these schools.....also many of these colleges give scholarships to minorities to make up for their own prejudicial pasts when they would not accept black students no matter how good their grades were....colleges not accepting blacks was a widespread and deeply entrenched tradition.....this included law schools, medical schools, etc......

so you need to study your own history and look at how the racism of your race played a part in whats going on today...not to mention other races get these scholarships as well..yet in your little mind you single out blacks...I wonder why???

Um no one gives a shit about legacy, unless you are talking about some Ivy league school. So because of the colleges past, I must pay the price with my superior academics, because I am white with reverse racism. Color shouldn't matter at all. There shouldn't be black scholarships, black colleges, black organizations, etc. You want equality, but chose to segregate yourself based on skin color anyways. If I wanted to make a scholarship for white male students only, there would be a huge uproar.. but if it is for a minority student, then it is welcomed. It is ridiculous. I knew a black kid with a terrible GPA and both his parents were DOCTORS, receiving $30,000 worth of tuition for FREE because of his skin color at my high school. I knew kids at my college that were getting literally paid to go to school almost, and were dumb as a fucking rock. It is a fucking joke. The world is against the white male now, when will people wake up and realize this. The group who has  done the most for America is now the bad guy and the most discriminated against. There are so many women and minority programs out there, but god forbid if there is something for white males. People will say, oh you guys don't need it, you never had problems with discrimination.. Which is a complete crock of shit. We are being discriminated against now! Every time you apply to school or apply to job you are filling out information about your race so organizations can meet some bullshit mandatory affirmative action quota(WHICH OBAMA BENEFITTED FROM GREATLY) where undeserving students get in, based on everything else but the actual credentials.

[quadzilla456]

Do any of you idiots realize that the government is controlled by big corporations and your vote means jack shit

LOL @ arguing about something you have no control over.

Exactly. The only way out of this cannot be said even on Getbig!

HA!!!!..you say color shouldn't matter at all???....thats what blacks have been telling whites for years...LOL....you say Obama benefited greatly from affirmative action???..white males have ALWAYS had affirmative action...its called DISCRIMINATION....hire only us, promote only us....you guys have ALWAYS had affirmative action..it just was called other things....look at BUSH...you think he didn't benefit from preferences?...he was a poor student and was a D student at Yale....yet HE BECAME PRESIDENT AS WELL......he benefited from a preference just as Obama did because his daddy went to Yale...it did not matter what kind of student he was.....JOHN KERRY ran against BUSH and was a D student as well in law school...how did he get into his prestigious college???...daddy's connections...

Here in NY city ITALIANS get preference over others in the college system because they have been victims of past prejudice and discrimination.....white s get handouts too....this has ALWAYS been the case,.,,,yet a black guy gets a chance and you go nuts...again..I WONDER WHY???

Legacy doesn't matter on race for fucksakes. Again, list the white "handouts" we so often get. Show me the white male only scholarships. Show me the initiative to hire white males. Boohoo the jews have been discriminated again LONG before blacks ever were and they have no problem becoming something in America. The same goes for Asians and Indians. They have NO problem making it in America without all the bullshit. Like I said SHOW ME THE HANDOUTS FOR WHITE MALES ONLY. Legacy has NOTHING to do with race you fucking moron.

[James28]

So much emotion invested into politicians who wouldn't even take the time to spit on you. No wonder they get away with what they do. Pandering to the uneducated and stupid works time and time again. Best thing to do is to ignore the whole charade. Don't vote, don't show an interest. They DO NOT, have your interests at heart.
