Good luck making this spin your way Mitt, and its a pretty dumb way to kick off a bid against one of the most savvy campaigners out there. The internet and Obama’s team are going to ram this one back down Romney’s throat.

Once again, Republican politicians and pundits demonstrate that when reality conflicts with their (frequently irrational and hyperbolic) rhetoric, they opt to ignore reality.

Romney and the other GOP candidates really don’t give a crap whether their talking points are factually accurate — all that matters is whether they can successfully sell their tripe to the American voting public.

The character and ethical conduct of candidates on the campaign trail is likely a reflection of the manner in which they would run the Executive Branch should they be elected POTUS. If they blatantly lie so easily in order to garner a few votes, they will no doubt conduct themselves in a similar unethical, Machiavellian manner when promoting public policy while in the White House.

JSpencer — me too. Until the next time, that is, when the would-be leaders of the free world do something even more craven, stupid, or morally bankrupt. I’ve been saying I can’t be surprised anymore since Bush’s first day, and I’m always wrong.

Nothing republicans will do surprises me anymore. Nothing.

The Republican Candidates (& the entire leadership of the Republican Party) have been lying for so long they no longer know how to tell the truth.

The candidates have to lie because “there’s no there there” with any of them. The leadership has to lie because they’ve been convinced that the ultra radical 10% of the party is their base.

That’s why normal, reasonable, rational Republicans have been steadily leaving the party and becoming independents.

They lied to the American People in 2010 and got away with it but they’ve been so openly blatant about it the last two years that the American People have finally caught on to who and what they are… This doesn’t not bode well for Republican prospects in 2012.

The ad is certainly deceitful, making it sound as though Obama does not want to talk about the economy.
