Mitt Romney is the most dishonest politician in modern political history.  He has run a campaign that has been thoroughly debunked for its lies from his welfare ads to the “you didn’t build that” lie to his lies about Medicare.

I can’t think of another politician who can lie with this much ease.  He will look people straight in the face or on TV and claim ridiculous, crazy nonsensical blather.  That’s his whole campaign.  He’s debating a bizarro world version of President Obama not unlike Clint Eastwood’s fictional discussion with an empty chair.  Well … even though I do not understand why President Obama did not call Romney out for his lies more forcefully … the facts are the facts.  And the media is starting to fact check.

Romney’s history of being a pathological liar is out there in the luminiferous aether.  It’s just out there waiting to hit you in the face like a piece of hail during a tornado … you just have to go outside.

I have already completed a very thorough fact check of Romney’s lies at the debate HERE in case you missed it.  Here it comes.

The New York Times Editorial Board HERE:

“Virtually every time Mr. Romney spoke, he misrepresented the platform on which he and Paul Ryan are actually running.”

Maddowblog HERE:

“And as it turns out, winning a debate is surprisingly easy when a candidate decides he can say anything and expect to get away with it.”
