Finally Liberated From Facts, Mitt Romney the Pure Bull Artist Takes Flight

The wonky types are all tied up in knots trying to understand Romney’s latest blather, but it can’t be done. This is a guy who says whatever his audience wants to hear: when he was in the primaries he was ultra-right-wing conservative, now he is the expansive centrist. Romney, as the article points out, has learned a valuable lesson: no one gives a damn if what you say is a bald faced lie, they just want to feel good. Whereas Obama, during his first run, made a series of promises that he totally failed to keep (which I consider as bald faced lies, but then he is a politician so I should have expected no better), at least he was consistent on what he proposed. No one can possibly know what Romney intends to do, probably not even Romney himself, which would make the people he chooses as advisers critical, but, naturally, he isn’t revealing any of that either. If Romney gets the Presidency, something that appears increasingly possible as the sheeple lap up Mr. Etch-a-sketch’s lies, at least thinking people will know not to expect him to honor his promises, that would be impossible. At least we know ahead of time that he is a pathological liar that will say anything, not that it will help our country one bit since I consider it a 100% guarantee that he will only look after the situation for the uber wealthy, accelerating Obama’s efforts to enrich them at the middle classes expense.
