When Mitt Romney talked to "60 Minutes" last week, he said President Obama has "repeatedly shown a reckless disregard for the truth." If there's ever been a more blatant example of political "projection," I can't think of it.
And yet, Romney is increasingly invested in this. This week, several reports noted that Romney intends to use next week's debate to "fact check" the president. The Obama campaign, unimpressed, released a video this morning on the subject.
Of course, if the 2012 presidential race comes down to which candidate is more dishonest, Romney's in trouble. Consider, for example, the 36th installment of my weekly series, chronicling Mitt's mendacity.
1. Romney argued just yesterday that the crisis of military suicides would be made worse by looming cuts to the defense budget.
2. In same speech, Romney said, "You realize we have fewer ships in the Navy than any time since 1917."
This one again? Romney dropped this lie a while ago, but it's apparently back.
3. Romney went on to say, in reference to the president, "[H]is plan also calls for trillion dollar deficits."
Obama's plan calls for trillions in deficit reduction.
4. Romney added, "It is the same series of policies he's put in place over the last four years and they have not worked. And if you don't, why, look at the price of gasoline."
To blame gas prices on the president's policies is ridiculously untrue.
5. Romney also said in reference to Obama, "He's put us on a road to Europe."
The irony is, Europe is trying to grow through austerity, just as Romney intends to do here. He's lying in a self-refuting sort of way.
6. In a speech at Westerville, Ohio, Romney boasted, "We got unemployment down [in Massachusetts] to 4.7 percent."
Well, in reality, the unemployment rate in Massachusetts dropped because so many people dropped out of the state's workforce. The fact of the matter is Massachusetts' job creation record during Romney's term was "one of the worst in the country," ranking 47th out of 50 states.
7. In the same speech, Romney argued, "Now we have a president who the other day says something quite revealing. He said he can't change Washington from the inside. Only from the outside."
That's not what Obama said.
8. Romney added, "Obamacare is point number one. It's the example number one, where he wants to put bureaucrats between you and your doctor."
There's nothing in the Affordable Care Act that does this. Maybe Romney is thinking of his pal, Virginia Gov. Bob "Ultrasound" McDonnell?
9. Romney also said, "He believes that government should have a board of people that tell you what kind of care you could receive."
Romney's trying to describe the Independent Payment Advisory Board (IPAB), but he's doing so in a way that's completely dishonest.
10. In a minute-long ad, Romney said, "My plan will create 12 million new jobs over the next four years."
Putting aside the pesky detail that Romney doesn't actually have a specific jobs plan, the fact remains that if we do nothing, we're on track to create 12 million new American jobs over the next four years anyway.
11. Romney told ABC News this week, "[M]ine is a campaign about 100% of the people, not 99 and 1, not any other percent."
I seem to recall watching a video in which Romney said it's not his "job" to "worry about" 47 percent of the population.
12. In an interview with CNN, Romney said, "[C]rippling sanctions [on Iran] ... These are the types of things that the president could have done, should have done from the very beginning, which he did not."
13. Asked about his own dishonest ads, Romney said, "We've been absolutely spot-on. And any time there's anything that's been a miss we correct it or remove it."
14. Romney also argued, "Look, it has been shown time and again that the president's effort to take work requirement out of welfare is a calculated move."
This continues to be as obvious a lie as Romney has told all year.
15. Romney added, "The requirement that they're waiving was saying that people don't have to work to get welfare. That's the change that they proposed."
16. Romney said in an ABC interview, "And of course also on 60 Minutes he laid out his economic agenda saying things are going just fine."
17. At a campaign event in Ohio, Romney said on Obama, "He's going to bring the deficit down. Of course, he didn't. He doubled it."
Maybe Romney doesn't know what "double" means. The deficit on Obama's first day was $1.3 trillion. Last year, it was also $1.3 trillion. This year, it's projected to be $1.1 trillion. When he says the president "more than doubled" the deficit, as he has many times, Romney's lying.
18. In the same speech, Romney added, "[D]o you know how much money he's spent in one year putting money into companies that he thought had a bright future, green companies? He spent $90 billion! $90 billion!"
The details matter: much of the $90 billion was appropriated by George W. Bush, not Obama.
19. Romney also argued, "This president persists on the road of making it harder and harder for small businesses to grow and thrive."
Actually, the administration has done the opposite.
20. Romney went on to say, "This president has a plan for small business. He's got a plan for small business. He's going to raise their taxes!"
In reality, Obama has repeatedly cut taxes on small businesses -- by some counts, 18 times -- and if given a second term, his tax plan would have no effect on 97% of small businesses.
21. On a conference call with a group of Iowans, Romney argued, "Small business is getting crushed under the president's program ... by forcing people to join unions that don't want to. That's something known as card check."
Card check didn't pass. It wouldn't crush small businesses anyway, but a law can't have any effect if it doesn't exist.
22. In an interview with CBS, Romney defended himself against the flip-flop label. "The president has certainly changed his view on a whole host of things. He was going to close Guantanamo."
Obama's views on Guantanamo didn't change; Congress intervened to keep the detention facility open.
23. Romney added, in reference to voters looking for details, "Well, I can tell them specifically what my policy looks like. I will not raise taxes on middle income folks."
There's ample evidence that Romney will raise taxes on the middle class.
24. Asked about what spending he'd cut to balance the budget, Romney said, "The first big one is I'm not going to go forward with Obamacare. I will repeal Obamacare. It costs about $100 billion a year."
That's the exact opposite of the truth. The Affordable Care Act saves the country hundreds of billions of dollars. If Romney repeals it, the deficit goes up, not down.
25. Romney added, "I don't want any change to Medicare for current seniors or for those that are nearing retirement. So the plan stays exactly the same"
That's demonstrably wrong. Under Romney's policy, the cost of prescription drug prices and preventive care for seniors would go up immediately -- for current and future retirees.
26. Romney also said, "The president's cutting $716 billion from current Medicare. I disagree with that."
Sigh.
27. Romney argued, "I'm going to look at every federal program and I'll ask this question, 'Is this program so critical it's worth borrowing money from China to pay for it?'"
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.
28. Romney went on to say in reference to the president, "His challenge with blaming it on the Republican Congress is of course that for his first two years, right now the majority of his term, he had a Democrat Congress, a super majority in the Democrat Congress."
The Senate supermajority lasted four months, not two years.
29. In his weekly podcast, Romney said, "As many of the original proponents of welfare reform have made clear, the Obama Administration's actions were not in keeping with the spirit or the letter of the law."
As many of the original proponents of welfare reform have made clear, Romney's lying.
30. He added, "My five-point plan will deliver the economic recovery we've all been waiting for."
The five-point plan is a sham, and to pretend otherwise is dishonest.
31. At an event in Las Vegas, Romney said of Obama, "This redistribution idea, this redistribution idea has been tried in other places. This is not a new idea. It's just never worked in other places. And it's certainly not going to work here."
As falsehoods go, this is just dumb.
32. In the same speech, Romney argued, "I don't want to have a government getting bigger and bigger, more intrusive, telling us what kind of health insurance we have to have."
As Romney surely knows -- his state-based policy works the same way -- the whole point of the Affordable Care Act is to provide consumers with choices of private plans, made available through regulated exchanges. Giving people choices and telling people "what kind of health insurance we have to have" are opposites.
33. At an event in Florida, Romney said, "We can't keep spending a trillion dollars more than we take in every year or we will be Greece at some point."
This is painfully untrue.
34. In the same speech, Romney promised, "I'll get America on track to have a balanced budget."
No, he won't. 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.
35. Romney added, "I think a lot of us were really surprised when the President in Roanoke, Virginia a few weeks ago, he stood up and said, 'If you've got a business, you didn't build that. Someone else did that.'"
That's not even close to what the president said.
36. Romney went on to say, "I will never apologize for American abroad."
How is it possible the whole "apology" lie hasn't gone away yet?
37. Romney also argued, "One more thing this president has proposed, and that is the combination of the sequential idea come from the White House which is cutting our military by hundreds of billions of dollars in its own budget, which cutting our military by hundreds of billions of dollars, he would have cut a trillion dollars by this decade."
That's two falsehoods in one. First, the sequester would cut about $500 billion from the military budget, not $1 trillion. Second, Romney's not only lying, he's also condemning defense cuts crafted by his own party and endorsed by his own running mate.

I loved the one where the CNN reporter asked him about the ads with the "welfare lie" and would he change them, to which he answered "Of course we have...." and then proceeded to make the welfare lie again to the reporter's face.
I just really really want to know how come JFK, MLK and RFK get killed, and guys like Rove, Cheney and Romney are still walking around.
One group championed the little guys with no power and the other group championed the big guys with power.
Because the "GOOD DIE YOUG!" SAD,I Know! But? The Good Lord Wanted them Home! remember! God gave his only SON! So their would be Peace in OUR Hearts! AND LIFE THEIR AFTER! ONE thing the Wealthy have Forgotten? They Can't BUY THEIR WAY INTO HEAVEN!
willards problem, is he never know what his other personalities are thinking. Should we call him Sybil?
Romney has no idea what empathy is… he traveled to China and toured this factory that had despicable living quarters, appalling work hours, and shameful wages for these human beings. And yet they went ahead and invested in this company. How can anybody invest in a company that treats humans like his dog on top of his car. I 'm not sure why this does not concern many of these far right people, only God knows this, but this kind of thinking needs to stop. Knowing that people are treated this way and buy this company just to get a profit is so inconceivably shallow and disrespectful towards those workers. Romney only has compassion for the people that is in his circle, everybody else outside the circle needs to kiss his ring because he even said that being powerful and rich is Great! All human beings deserve compassion and respect. Not Power! President Obama has that compassion and respect for all people and I'm honored that he is our POTUS!
Compassion, Who do you think built the computer your typing on, a Union Worker making 150K in pay, benefits and a pension plan. How about the clothes or shoes you buy? Surely you couldn't be supporting companies in third world countries that pay slave wages and have no benefits. Where do you think the steel used in the construction of your car, refrigerator, washing machine, etc... came from? How about your TV set, radio, air conditioning, etc.... who do you think built them? Do you really think every thing you consume is the result of companies paying what you would call a "Living Wage". You and millions of Americans reap the benefits of what you suggest is appalling. And then you point a damming finger at Romney. Have you ever considered those wages and living conditions are better than starving in the street. Do you know that the average woman in third world countries takes four trips a day just to get water for her family? Do you know anything about third world countries and the daily struggle to simply survive another day? Have you ever wondered what the impacts would be on these people if they had no opportunity for work, regardless of the conditions or compensation? There is no doubt Romney's motivation was profit, but a side affect of his investment was food on someones table. Living in American with all the available Government Handouts, it is doubtful you have any idea about what a job like that means to a person in a third world country. It may very well be the difference between life and death. So Mr. Compassionate, stop buying those products, live without them, and send the money you save to the people you are so concerned about. Or are you simply attacking Romney and could really careless about the third world labor force used and abused to ensure your standard of living is maintained?
As for Obama, he has so much respect and compassion for people he has taken millions from the Middle Class to Poverty right here in the Good Old USA. Wake up. Its time for a Change.
A man who wants to be pres of the biggest country in the free world should try & set an example for other countries who constantly watch what we do. By him buying that company, knowing the conditions the workers have to deal with to survive, merely indicates that he is a heartless American who only believes in money, money, money. He is a business man, & not pres material. He's treating the bid for pres like a business transaction, not like a leader. Since he seems to think those factory wrkrs are happy with their lives, it's no wonder he doesn't care about 47% of America's population. Pay attention to the fact that conditions for those factory wkrs are ok with him, because if he ends up in the white house, we may be next.
erbajean, this reminds me Tom Delay stating the Marianas Island being the ideal petri dish for capitalism. That IS what these types covet. No laws about working conditions, low wages, the ability to threaten the workers with "losing this great job" that people would "break in" to obtain.
Triple high bunks in dorms with 120 people per bathroom. Sounds like a sweat shop is what they visualize for us, living in fear of losing the scraps they toss our way.
Maybe they think we can pull our bootstraps up from there.
The bottom line, it is We Greedy Americans that buy the products produced in the Sweat Shops of Third World Countries. Only when you abandon that practice and go without because you can't afford or find like products produced in America will the Business Practices change. You are what they can an Enabler in the world of Drug and Alcohol Addiction. Look in the Mirror before you start throwing stones at some one else. By the way did you see the Legislation Obama is pushing to end these Business Practices? Thats right you didn't.
Not only does the US Navy have less ships, but the US Army has less horses now than in 1917! HORSES!!!
How could Obama let this happen??
fewer ships and with greater firepower!
It's worse than you think. There are many, many nations that have far more horses in service than our military does.
I have to ask. Has this blog ever, at any time, said something positive about Romney? I'm guessing no.
SSDD
Shooter: Romney has great hair. I just don't think that qualifies him to be president.
"fewer horses". wickedly good retort. FTW!!
shooter242 - if there is anything good about Romney you be sure to let us know ok?
It’s amazing MSNBC has any viewers left, conservative or liberal, given the amount of times they’ve been caught not merely spinning, but out and out lying with deceptive edits. They did it with the Tea Party, they did it in the Trayvon Martin case, Andrea Mitchell (Mrs Greenspan) did it with the ‘Wawa’ lie, just to name a few. The latest one takes the cake – even the NYT & HuffPo have corrected it. MSNBC? Still running with the lie!
The character of Mitt Romney will show up against Obama. NBC and the the lib press will continue to lie, Dem load their polls and try to convince everyone that the race is over. They did the same in 2010 and the tea party
Name a lie that Maddow has told that prompts you to make this post. What "one" are you talking about? The welfare for work issue or the reduction in the US military? I have no idea what you're referencing so I have no idea what it is you're referring.
For the record:
-The George Zimmerman tape that you're referring to was only edited on one program one time and that was to omit the operator asking the race of the individual. No one on the show made the implication that Zimmerman was racist nor were they arguing that he was racist. This assumption is being made on behalf of the conservative wing. The rest of us realized that this was simple editing. I'll grant you in retrospect probably stupid editing, but it isn't a violation of truth to edit content for time as long as context isn't taken out. The scenario they were talking about- which was the phone call made by Zimmerman- did not warrant that this one sentence be imperative to understanding. Leave it to a conservative to spin that this being left out was an egregious affront to information. And leave it to a conservative to play the "I'm rubber you're glue" game by blaming other people for the thing he is doing.
-What lies have MSNBC told about the Tea Party?
-What is the "wawa" lie and how was it a lie and when did she do it?
What did they do in 2010? The polls showed that the Republican Party were going to have huge victories and that was reported as much here on TRMS. So what polls are you referring to? How does one load a poll and what proof do you have that NBC is doing this?
Um, Rachael has been on for 4 years now and if you factcheck her sight you might find 1 issue, and she is still fighing with them on that one. Maddow is known for being truthful...... But if it makes you feel better to blame everyone and everything else for the idiocy of this candidate, feel free. If you go into this article and follow the links in bold black, there is a resource for every one of these points as well as video in many cases to back it up. Have fun.
Rachael has backed up everything she has said with facts, be it written or video.
"less Horses since 1917....." ~ha, I can hear the "snark" for here!
On #7, you could also add that Mitt said the same thing about change coming from outside Washington.
I have a problem with people who lie on this level... but that's me. I'm a fact check fan.
It's not just you.
Unless the fact-checker is a fake balance asswhole (which several are).
I have heard that there will be factcheckers at the debates. If they want to keep up with all of Romney's lies, they will have to have an audience of nothing but factcheckers. I have never in my 70 years known anyone that lies or just messes up when he talks like Romney, except maybe one.............the last Bush. I don't think Bush was even dumb enough to say they need to be able to open windows in an airplane. lol
I do not trust a single word from NBC. I have never seen a so called 'News Organization' so in the tank for a candidate. They will be shown for what they are.
What does it mean to be "in the tank" for a candidate and what does NBC do to meet this definition? How would NBC not be "in the tank" for a candidate?
Tex might be on to something. No way David Gregory could be so ignorant of so much about Republicans to let them get away with their transparent lies every week. Yep, NBC in tank for Mitt. I agree.
i'm sure you don't trust fox news either, texas.
Texas, Faux News is so far up Rmoney's arse. You haven't watched them?
I watched both David Gregory (NBC) and George Stephanopolis (what channel is he on now?) ask hard questions of Rmoney and Ryan, then let them say whatever they wanted for nearly unlimited free advertisement on Sunday AM shows.
taken from Rachel Maddow Show and Maddow Blog:
Well Texas - you want to talk about whose in bed with who...
You just have to love it when wingnuts complain about the liberal media. Never mind the fake-balance, false-equivalence, he-said-he-said, lazy, cowardly, technically incompetent act they bring that allow Republicans to get free advertising for their lies on practically every story. There's an entire Right Wing Noise Machine/Ministry of Untruth to spread the gospel of WingNotReality. Here's just some recent information on how it works from Romney's campaign quarters, Fox-WSJ (aka Rupert, USA):

I hear Obama only want to make our military better.
http://www.nytimes.com/2012/09/28/us/politics/in-virginia-obama-and-romney-reach-out-to-military.html?_r=0
Published: September 27, 2012
VIRGINIA BEACH — In case anyone is wondering, Virginia is up for grabs this election. So, with 39 days to go, President Obama and Mitt Romney dueled in the commonwealth on Thursday, both trying to lock up support from voters with ties to the military.
I still believe in you!” President Obama yelled out at the sea of white, brown and black faces gathered before him at Farm Bureau Live, an outdoor amphitheater in this naval town. “If you stand with me and work with me, we’ll win the Tidewater again. We’ll win Virginia again.”
How’s it going, Virginia Beach?” Mr. Obama shouted into the microphone. He quickly attached himself to Senator Jim Webb, the retired Marine who had introduced him in a lengthy windup that trumpeted the president’s support for military families. “I could not be prouder of a man who has served his country his entire life, as a Marine, as a secretary of the Navy,” the president said of Mr. Webb, who is not seeking re-election.
The crowd ate it up, especially as they were primed beforehand by the cast of colorful characters that make up Virginia Democratic politics. Representative Robert C. Scott, sporting an accent straight out of “Dukes of Hazzard,” seemed a particular favorite. He drew roars when he recounted how in 2008, CNN called Virginia for Obama for the first Democratic presidential win here in 40 years, and then, “two minutes later,” called the election for Mr. Obama. It was a story meant to demonstrate how central winning the state has become to American presidential aspirations.
Thanks for the link Russell Leisenheimer & Pretzelogic in Philly, PA.
Let see, 'ability to make a joke that is funny' not so much, 'ability to lie about his name to try and make a joke that is not so funny', very much!
Thanks again for correcting me everyone....accept Thankful Mom-3182614, who's comment doesn't seem relative to the discussion....unless I am missing something again this time.
My pleasure, L6313 - as I noted, I enjoy posting that link!
As for Thankful Mom, I wouldn't be too hard on her - the comment she posted was thoughtful and well written and certainly didn't seem like a "trollish" attempt to derail a conversation. I've observed over time that it's awfully easy to accidentally post a comment in one thread even while thinking it's being posted in another. Between that, and the nature of some of the other comments she's posted, I think we can give her the benefit of the doubt.

salvatore babones at truthout notes this fun fact found sorting thru rmoney's economic plan:
The final component of Romney's "plan for jobs and economic growth" deals with energy policy. Romney plans to create 1,200,000 jobs by promoting offshore oil drilling in "the Gulf of Mexico, both the Atlantic and Pacific Outer Continental Shelves, Western lands, the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and off the Alaska coast."
Yes, Romney intends to create 1.2 million jobs through offshore oil drilling. That's the entire population of Dallas - offshore.
Moody's Analytics' energy economist Chris Lafakis calculates that a high estimate of the "the number of jobs both directly and indirectly supported by the offshore
industry" in the Gulf of Mexico is 62,500.

Great video! You need to sell to the Democratic Party!!! I'd like to hear the song on the radio when I'm driving, too!!!!

Very nice job! I agree that OFA should have this brought to their attention. Do they organize playlists?
He's really just a lying piece of @!$%#, and I dont accept that "all politicians lie"
Steve,
While I applaud your tenacity, and your determination to see this right through to the election (I assume V more chapters) this is getting a bit repetitive.
You've listed approximately 1000 lies by Mitt Romney already. But most of them are repeats. If he's got a lie in his stump speech, and he repeats it multiple times per week for months on end, is that one lie or dozens?
To keep repeating the same lie over and over again, not ever admitting it's not true, so that a certain portion of the public believes it must be true, is their strategy. It is a bolder sort of lying than most politicians, but not otherwise remarkable.
Perhaps you could re-organize your chapters into a list of lies--I'm guessing fewer than 100--and note when he started and if he ever stopped telling them. It will make the book easier to write.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYI7qPO5wVw
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yn04p9-yXHY&feature=relmfu
The reorganization may be good as a final chapter during election week. But the current format makes one think: is there another politician out there who regularly tells more than 30 different lies every week?
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, Rachel
Put together the video clips of flip/flopping Romney debating himself!!!
e.g. ER rooms are most expensive health care vs ER rooms are what the US has to offer...
can't change Washington from inside
can only change Washing from inside
etc etc and so forth
You will probably have a whole hours show!!! Viral Youtube potential
Let's show everyone who he REALLY IS & ISN'T at the same time!!!!
I wish SOMEONE would do it!
The idea has potential. Put together a whole slew of whoppers and use them in campaign commercials. Then use a test market like Arizona and see if Obama can move up in points or at least make Republicans disgusted enough to not vote.

To lie like this, and lie repeatedly, shows a desperation and an intial lack of respect for anyone. Mitt seems to think that it is his "right" to lie to people and take away their ability to make informed decisions. To intentionally do this makes him appear no better than any wannbe dictator.
'Lyin' for the Lord' is part of the Mormon tactics to get new members...
perhaps his magic underwear is getting too tight ! that's what happens when he wears them on his head !
He was wool gathering during the instructions.
Republicans want to talk about women that are a little aggressive in politics as something bad. Now that is a good one, because what it really means is these Republicans are just showing how weak they really are. If a Republican man cannot handle the heat, then get out of politics, because you are really incapable of handling any political issues that matter to people. These Republican men’s excuses again are trivia, when it comes to such important issues that are going on today. Republican men have now shown how weak they are and just give in to the extreme wealthy and extremists of hatred. It has been these Democrat women who have been speaking up for the people and not some corrupt Republican men playing games of nonsense, deceptions, and lies. The Republican stench just keeps building.
Yeah...when men at work call me a bitch (because I'm one of the few women) I always look at them and say 'You say that like it's a BAD thing!'
"I don't can't think of it." " to do some "fact check" the president" ... Man, I repeatedly come across crap like this and it makes me not want to come back to this site. 3 sentences in and I'm already out of here. You can't even read your stuff over after the first draft and you expect me to believe that you pay attention to the details of your facts too?! @!$%#ing hell.
oh noes, a gramatical error? Then it must mean everything is wrong and Mitt must never lie, right?
If there is a misprint on a menu, the nothing good comes from the kitchen!
see the fallacy you are trying to use to excuse yourself so you don't have to admit to the problems Mitt Romney has with the truth?
Matt. There is a way to check your comment before and after it's posted. If you don't like coming to this site, feel free to leave and not return. I promise you won't be missed.
Yeah, Matt, seriously -- don't let the firewall door hit you in the cyber-ass on your way out.......
Can you imagine how ballistic Matt would go if his wife left the toilet seat up?
I ain't not gonna say nuthin, cause I dun want git yelled at by dis guy...he looks kinda mad fer some kinda reason.
the crisis of military suicides would be made worse
1) Really? It was Bush Era in complete denial of PTSD and Suicide, and whenever I call the VA at or near the top is "If you're feeling suicidal" ... I truly doubt the Pentigon is going to cut VA spending because Suicide isn't that far from Homocide, Could get into this at a later time.
2) Smaller Naval Fleet than in 1917? Even if true one Task Force of today, or even just a carrier (assuming it carried enough supplies), would wipe out the entire 1917 fleet. More than likely without suffering a scratch.

Also, if Obama is "putting us on the road to Europe", is that automatically bad? Depends which "Europe" you're talking about. Scandinavia and Holland are still good places to live. The German economy was doing very well, and has only now started slowing due to the effects of austerity. Breaking news for Mitt: Greece is not a continent.
I'm pretty sure there aren't any trans-Atlantic bridges. So... geography is something else Willard's bad at! Maybe someone should show him a map?
Get Enraged and Engaged:
Mooch the Vote 2012!
;-)
He must have an iPhone with the messed up map

We Will Not Let Facts Get In The Way!!
Thats what they were saying.

Somehow, it's the continuing spewing of nonsense about the size of the Navy that shows why this man is the most profoundly unqualified major party candidate for the presidency since Warren Harding.
The U.S. Navy's battle fleet tonnage is greater than that of the next thirteen largest navies in the world, and eleven of those countries are our allies or partners. The only non-allied navy in the world that would be more than a minor nuisance would be China's, which might actually manage to hurt us before we obliterated it.
And the problem is that I have seen absolutely no evidence that Mitt has sufficient understanding of military affairs to grasp the abyssal depths of ignorance he's disclosing. I have seen no evidence that he sees Navy ships as anything other than toys in the bathtub. It is horrifying that the GOP thinks it would be okay to put this idiot in proximity to the nuclear go-codes.
At least Bush II spent a few months dressing up in a uniform and flying obsolete fighters before he deserted and thus had at least a passing familiarity with military technology.
Mitt Romney slams Mitt Romney for not agreeing with what Mitt Romney said yesterday, says he likes what Mitt Romney said two days ago
So, is he pathological or just a sociopath?
.
Romney is more suited to a psyche study than the Presidency.
I've asked myself that same question, What is Romneys malfunction, since we learned about Seamus, the dog in the crate on the top of the car. What part of Romney is missing empathy? Is Romney a Sociopath? A Psychopath? ??
OTOH the "roll down windows in an aircraft" statement shows Romney may simply be stupid, without a clue at the very least.
Should we care?
Should we try to determine if Romney is pathological or simply a dumbass?
Or is it enough to know Romney is in some way pooched and to hell with exactly how and why Romneys pooched?
When I smell poo I don't much care what animal it came from. It's enough to not step in it.

Splifford and Rob,
Google Narcissistic Personality Disorder and see if you think it fits....
(I was asking the same thing you are and Molly suggested this disorder .....)
What do you think?
to find Romney marching out of his own room ahead of a prep school posse shouting about their plan to cut Lauber’s hair. Friedemann followed them to a nearby room where they came upon Lauber, tackled him and pinned him to the ground. As Lauber, his eyes filling with tears, screamed for help, Romney repeatedly clipped his hair with a pair of scissors.
Ref. Washington Post
What would you call it?
Poo not to be stepped in.

Who's really to blame for the Romney campaign? See the full list, http://on.cc.com/PerZE4
Romney accuses the POTUS of not being truthful when he say's he (Romney) is against abortion in cases of rape,incest or the health of the mother.If I'm not mistaken when asked by Mike Huckabee if he would sign a personhood amendment if he were elected Pres.and it came across his desk, Romney replied, yes I would.A personhood amendment mean's no abortion for any reason, period.So who's lying Mr.Romney?
One or both of two things: He is plain dumb (You don't have to be smart to be rich)
He is a pathological liar. Can he even hear himself???
#6- he can't get away from that number...47.
I'm not talented enough to do it, but could someone "photoshop" a picture of Romney wearing a jersey with the number 47 on it?
.
I was thinking more of Shopping Romney driving a Harvistor (combine) with appropriate labels.
Maby later. ;)
.
Wouldn't he be playing for the 53? Or maybe go for a different metaphor and have the figure 47% "tattooed" on his forehead. Perhaps with a big fat "L" like a cattle brand. Nah, that'd be too much like the "Joker Obama" crap. Stick with the jersey idea.
