Yes. Mr romney had lied many many times and the American people are smart what is truth and what is lie. You can see the poll numbers are getting up for President Obama. President Obama will be reelected.
The only ones who believe in Mr. willard are the rightys that come to this vine.....if you attach your self to them your valuable post will disappear along with them when they are deleted. That is why I waited until #3. Hey, sen.
@ Thankful Mom : Hey Mom- You are right. I want to see that they don't get the #1 post. They are just like their boss Mitt R. Full of lies. Thank you.
TM and Sen, They have sold same crap since we started this all most year ago. Romney is doing a good job of being idiot !

The most honest person we have running for President:
OBAMA 2012
@Pam 52
could not have been said better! They keep using the same worn out 'facts' from the same propaganda web sites and if you read several newspapers regularly you know they are exaggerating greatly.
Ethlelouise, You are so right its propaganda that maybe before the Internet they could of sold to people but now we can call them liars to the world. I love it!!!!
Robme's only hope for votes are the GOP voter suppression and low information voters, and it seems even those watching the lies on the Fox propaganda network are not buying Robme.
Plus the DNC is on the job to get voters the information and IDs they need, so they aren't cheated out of their right to vote by the GOP.
GO DEMS! Everyone should be able to exercise their right to vote... even with a certain cheating party who has no respect for Democracy fighting it.
Dscully , I hope 30 years from now people will not even remember his name (MITT ROMNEY) and he becomes a blip in history. The campaign how ever will be a foot note of one of dirtiest campaigns ran and the Supreme Court will be remembered for there ruling on giving corporations a soul and destroying the election process. Who ever attaches there name to this will hang there heads in shame!
Obama should say to Romney what Michael Douglas said to an old foe in Wall Street 2:
"If you stop lying about me, I'll stop telling the truth about you."
Hi Pam
I hope Mutt Robme won't be remember in history either, but that will only happen if he is not allowed to win the White House. We don't want him part of our history in that way.
But we certainly must remember how low the GOP has proven themselves willing to go to win back their power over the country. They have proven that none of them are fit or worthy of the American people's trust or vote... given their constant lies and even making laws to disenfranchise the vote of citizens. The GOP have reached new lows and are absolutely disgusting, deceitful, conniving CROOKS.
I'm watching Rachel's show about the Repug Attorney General in Ohio breaking the tie along partisan lines in favor of the Repugs when it comes to early voting only being made available in Repug districts.
Here's an idea for Ohio that could resolve this issue in the future... besides the obvious of never putting Repugs in high state offices ever again... which makes alot of these problems with voter suppression non-existent in the first place.
Here in California... the election boards are comprised of 5 people, 2 Democrats, 2 Repugs and 1 Independent. Thus whenever votes come down along partisan lines... there is an Independent who breaks the tie and it's generally in the favor of fairness. They are also the same board who draw the electorial district boundaries, etc. which hopefully also makes the districts more even in terms of population and party affiliation.
So there is no need to have to rely on a partisan Attorney General like in Ohio breaking a tie in favor of their own party.... and making it harder for the opposing party to have the same opportunity to vote.
So think about it Ohio... putting an Independent on all of your election boards and avoid this problem in the future. As for your current scheming and less than honorable Repug Attorney General... he should be run out of office in the next election.
Hi, Pam!! Happy Friday!

Mitt Romney Welfare Ad Claims Obama's Plan 'Guts' Reform: FactCheck
Now with this question the righty's may have a point in saying no. No because considering everything backfiring on Romney, why would this be any different.
Notice the hypocrisy the super PAC ad was an outrageous lie even though it was never endorsed by Obama but this robmehood lie ad that robmehood endorses is just fine with our tea bagged republicans.
hey who, i see wrongy is already twisting things about Bain and Obama. he keeps taking out mutt's name and inserting Obama's. OBAMA 2012.
also, yes the lie about Obama gutting the welfare reform is an OUTRIGHT LIE,and it is and will continue to backfire. OBAMA 2012.
Billie notice in the tea bagged republican paranoid delusional mind hiring someone as president is the same as running for the office of president. Thy just can't grasp that it is robmehoods tactics at Bain then claiming that experience at Bain show leadership when in fact it shows robmehoods greedy nature and what will happen if such a greedy person gets into office, not what that robmehoods greed is anything new to the business world, but we don't need a dirty business man in the white house.
Righty, give the hell up with that mess you're talking. People know about you and all repubs, lie to win, have no morals, scared of a fair fight, the thought of losing so if you don't have anything to say that is constructive in helping this country to be better, stay no Hell off the site.
Easy Curtis.....
First you have to admit without the opinions of the right on this site, what would be the point. But Righty's challenge may be more like Whack-A-Mole, then honest debate.
Sorry to inform you all but ever since welfare reform was passed Democrats hated it never wanted it and wanted to kill it as soon as it passed.And now they have gotten what they wanted
The Progressive reported in 1996 during Clinton's re-election campaign:
I remember watching something with Micheal Moore whining about how cruel it was to make a person on food stamps and public assistance get up and go to work JUST so they could feed their family.Even Pres. Obama said that he would not have voted for the bill.because they know that if you give a person a chance to move up and off the Govt gravy train(Government plantation) then they might wake up and not vote Democrat again.
Except you lie about the reason democrats hated the reform, funny how you righties can whine about the plight of the unemployed then without batting an eye whine about lazy people on welfare even though there has been no such people and living on welfare is not the gravy train you righties believe it is based on a lie made up by that insane old fool Reagan. In fact you ignore that the welfare Reagan was lying about didn't start until 1972 under Nixon, so tell us how a program created generations of welfare queens in 7 years.
I don't recall Moore running for president...when was that?
They don't like anyone who points out the 3rd world conditions that the GOP created around the country. Flint at one time was the second largest city in Michigan with lots of high wage jobs, thanks to Reagans service economy Flint has decreased to 3rd place and the city of Amyway scams is now number 2, that is Grand Rapids.
Well that's not entirely true. Republican governors of the states of Utah and Nevada requested the change in work requirements for welfare. Of course now that its an 'issue' they claim they never requested the change. And if Obama was going to eliminate this work requirement then the government would be sued and the requirements replaced by court order.
So all of this is an elaborate lie. Actually a set up because it conveniently became an issue during the election republicans are infamous for elaborate machinations like this - only except this time its not going to work. No matter how many times on this website they claim its the truth its not its just an elaborate exaggeration from the right to instill fear into the people that will vote against their own self expressed best interest.
Electing Romney will backfire.
And the whole country will go down!!
I hope it backfires all the way to the FCC ! Romney and his campaign are wallowing in the pig sty ! What a filthy campaign they are waging on the American people Do they think we are stupid? I resent a campaign ran like this!!!!!!
Hi Pam! You know what they say "I tell a lie long enough you start to believe it!" They do they have they will...
@Pam
Yes he thinks we are stupid pulling that Brietbart trick with the 'carefully edited' tape on Obama's speeches now the the 'welfare' claim. Flip seems to think that he can prey on the fears of the people who freqently vote against their own self admitted best intrests.
Hi XXX OOO, You are so right. What makes me mad is Romney was Obama care and now he changes like a chameleon who in there right mind would want him leading this country. He is a moth piece for those who would sell there soul to the devil to get him elected. He does not run on principle but lies and more lies!
Ethlelouise, So right. Mitt Romney in away is responsible for many in this nation needing welfare. He took, jobs, pensions and left them with no where to turn . I bet he never lost one nights sleep over what he and Bain Capitol did! He made billions and with his arrogant i am better then you attitude could really care less where the poor or middle class fall.
Pam.... Is that what you truly believe? By the way, I hope your sister-n-law is getting somewhere with her claim.

Anything / everything Romney says will BACKFIRE. I wouldn't believe him even if my life depended on it.All he knows how to do is LIE or he wouldn't be having those ETCH-A-SKETCH moments.
@Ted
Even Ann Coulter and Laura Ingram think so.
Re: #7
If Romney is elected - your life will depend on him.
@maphi
Then we are all doomed even the rich people.
Ted I agree! He is pathetic.
Ann Coulter=Shewolf of the SS.
End result of the Hitler Youth Group. A blond, blue-eyed fascist who thinks that anybody who doesn't agree with her is a traitor.
@The Real Chris
Well I guess that includes Flip Robme because she said that if Robme was the nominee we'd (meaning conservatives) lose. Also Laura Ingram said just today that Robme has lost.
I hate to agree with them but here's hoping their right.
@TheRealChris Re: #7.5
I generally agree with you but I think references to Hitler, Nazis and SS are not helpful.
Rest of it is right on!!
Sorry, but every time I see her, I think that.
For quite a while now. Ever since she started showing up on Politically Incorrect.
Ann Coulter said she doesn't think women should be able to vote, which just confirms my suspicion, given that Adam's apple, that she is really a man. :)
MJB - I have thought she was a man in drag for years. Adam's Apple just too defined for her to be a woman.
MJB-
Maybe she's going by her own experiences.
Every one of Romney's ads have been distortions and lies, and twisting the president's words. Obama hasn't lied. Romney's such a mess and his campaign is in such disarray, that Obama doesn't need to lie about him!
With Romney, the truth HURTS! This latest ad Obama has is so good it will end Mitt's campaign, and Mitt knows it. That's why they're all so ticked off.
Let 'em stew, they're a bunch of dangerous liars who will plunge millions into poverty. Mitt Romney is one disgusting person.
Backfire!....Pants on Fire!....The Emperor has No Clothes!!!!
Ed Why can't anyone do something about the STOP the VOTE process fairly i those states? It is very clear the Reps are dishonest in this election. If not nothing would have been done about people unable to vote.
Hope you're having a good weekend, tnorris.
What can it hurt to tell as many people as you can how you feel about an issue as important as this? The r/tp scam about "concern" for election integrity" needs to be stopped and *now*......not later.

Everything Muffin is doing is back firing. Full speed ahead!
lyin mitt is his name and deception is his game.
Lie = Mitt Romney according to Websters Dictionary or at least it should...
Ifor1, Under the word liar in the dictionary, there's a photo of Mitt!
Under the word, "turtle" there's a photo of McConnell.
India, Without a doubt I totally agree there should be.....They are out to harm the U.S not help it...
Ifor1, The T-party has dragged this country down so far with its hate and racism, and the Republicans keep pandering to them, going further and further to the right, like a bunch of lemmings. Well, I see a cliff ahead for the whole lot of them, and good riddance! They are truly a dangerous bunch of ignorant ideologues, determined to take Obama down, even if the country goes with him.
WMR stepped in it big time when he said that POTUS wants to end the work requirement for welfare recipients. The recipients themselves who work and want to work will see through it in a heartbeat.
Now you know why he made millions. He lied his way to the top. I am sure he said whatever he had to to get the sale. Mitt "SCUM" Romney....Anyone that votes for this guy joins the "scum brigade"....
You see what romney did to Bain......
He will do the same to the US Postal service when he robs their pensions
He will do the same thing to medicare when he robs their coffers.
He will do the same thing to Social Security when he robs those coffers
Then hell start on other corporation, bank, education.....he will bankrupt everyone but himself.
TM - Romney has to be stopped before he starts....OBAMA 2012 solves that....
Re: #14.1
I disagree with the last phrase "he will bankrupt everyone but himself."
The gazillionaires that are bank-rolling his campaign will do OK.
Why do you think they are buying him?
Mitt Romney - best candidate money can buy.
Better ones can't be bought.
Damn scary bunch of 1%
TM, I agree they are scary ! The fact that they want to resurrect the Bush years should set peoples hair on fire ! Cheney worships the ground Ryan walks on ! Maybe the Mayans were not wrong about there prediction if the Republicans regain control!
teehee - lyin mitt wants all inaccurate ads pulled. well if that happens, only PBO and Priorities USA will be running ads.
Super Pac can run their own campaign......Romney never pulls any of this....he whines he doesn't have anything to do with them. Now that Obama's super PAC's have their own.....too bad!
then what does the Super PAC get for running its own campaign to support Mitt Romney? Realistically you would assume they support the policies of Romney over Obama. For one, Obama wants to raise taxes on the rich. Romney wants to cut taxes for everyone. It stands to reason that rich folks would prefer a Romney presidency. So rich folks give to a Super PAC supporting Romney and try to get him elected. What do they get? Their taxes aren't raised.
This obviously applies to all sorts of policies. Obama is in favor of heavy government regulation and Romney has indicated support for less government involvement in various industries. If yours is an industry where the government is heavily involved or trying to become more heavily involved, you might prefer a Romney Presidency. Thus you donate to a Super PAC supporting him in hopes he can win the election as his policies would favor you or your business.
The same is true for Super PAC's supporting Obama. Although it is worth noting Obama condemned Super PACs in the State of the Union and called on Congress to overturn the Supreme Court's ruling on Citizen's United. I guess if you can't beat them, join them. But anyway, if you think we should spend less on the military and tax the rich more, you would want to see an Obama reelection and not a Romney presidency. So you donate to a Super PAC supporting Obama and they run a separate campaign to try and elect Obama.
Nothing is in it for the Super PAC's themselves. But those who donate to them likely have some vested interest in seeing their candidate win.
Who voted for Citizens United.....not democrats.
I voted NO just because I don't think the ad about welfare or his lies are important about the subject. It is a diversion from not releasing his tax returns.
The chances of Romney winning in November are getting slimmer.
Obama/Bidden 2012.
All those states their voter should vote a STRAIGHT Dem ticket state and federal. Ladies, seniors, Mexican, men white and black.AMERICA
The Obama administration will go out with ads and Obama will speak personally about this and people will figure out that Romney is full of crap once again.
I wish Edward, but I heard a female on the Stephanie Miller show who called in this morning and said that Obama was the one who lied and she had a whole list of his lies. Wonder where she got the list she was repeating. All the lies she repeated have already been disqualified as not the truth. The biggest one she told was that Obama paid......now get this......$4 million to keep his college records hidden......Now why would he do that, and what difference would it make what his college records make. We already know he graduate at the top of his class. She did say she wasn't able to substantiate that lie.
The Republicans really think the American people are stupid PEOPLE, and could careless about YOU PEOPLE. lol lol lol OBAMA/BIDEN 2012 YES YES, so a lie is nothing to tell for Mitt DU FUSE the TWIT!!!!!lol lol lol
Call out the liars and take them to court for defamation of character. Come on?
Welfare is the direct result of the failed policies of the private sector who has not produced the promised standard of living that all people would like to enjoy! WHERE IS THE BEEF!
Excellent point!! (sometimes just clicking the Up arrow doesn't do it!)
And the "free market" (actually, well-subsidized by govt) has utterly failed to produce anywhere near enough jobs. Let me correct that -- they did use our tax dollars to create jobs outside of the US, but not here.
and he was so rough on his opponents in the primaries......guess he forgot to put on his big girl panties before taking on the day......whats in the bag Mitt?
somehow got stuck in the wrong place.....
"YES"--, Mitt's lies will backfire--every one of them.. Mitt is already crying for the President to lighten up on him. -Too late Mitt- The President has a Got A Big Stick, and by gosh, He's gonna use it..You were well warned by V.P. Joe Biden. Get used to the licks..
Rachael, Don't you just love it when the rich boy cries because hes been called a Liar ?
-@-PAM----Yes, YES, and YES, some more--Cry Your eyes out Willard-we all know that they are fake tears anyway..
OBAMA/BIDEN-2012
mutt and his cronies will be crying more now that he's down in most of the polls, including fox's poll and all his little tea-bagging friends are crying as well. what a great day for the NORMAL AMERICAN PEOPLE.
Yes Indeed Billie---This has been a great week for ,us all-
@Rachael
Those big fake Jimmy Swaggert tears...
Ethelouise--yes they Are!
It will backfire like all the other lies....No brass ring #2!
I think it will backfire not for the reason of Welfare thought of in the past. I think it will back fire because so many people unemployed and especially the middle class that no longer will have jobs in the USA of payroll before manufacturing good paying jobs MOVED off shore thanks to Corporate GOP American main Ideals of out Sourcing. These people will NOW Fear Welfare going away instead of being the safety net was intended to be. People that may need it not looking at welfare work aspect, more just as a safety net.
IN short backfires as a safety Net going away that Romney is really for as well as GOP.
