1. There is no shame for this creep.

[dotymed]

46. I have never before seen a Presidential candidate

that lies as much as robme. He realizes (from his crooked "business" experience, I think) that currently in America, perception is reality.

He can lie at his stump and if journalists do bother to fact check, most people will never read or watch the truth. So they leave believing his lies and most never learn the truth. IMO, this period in American history will be viewed similar to the "dark ages" in world history.

[liberal N proud]

48. Or has there never been an electorate willing to believe such lies.

[awoke_in_2003]

49. Journalism is almost dead...

in America. They have been replaced by stenographers.

[russspeakeasy]

2. Finally, a number I can believe..

[Flashmann]

3. Well...Maybe...

Is 65,824 for this week?...Or today?..

[rizlaplus]

4. Guffaw

and Guffaw again!

[George II]

5. "I saw a story today..." - does he bother saying WHERE he saw the story?

[abelenkpe]

27. He probably reads freerepublic. Nt

[Indydem]

30. Bloomberg?

43. "I saw a story today...I pulled it out of my raddled, hairy ass!!! And now I'm going to terrify

this crowd with it, because I am a pandering, bullshitting say-anything turdlet who will do ANYTHING...and do I mean anything, now, folks, to win!!!!"

That's what he was thinking, anyway!

[George II]

44. Obama called it right - he's a bullshitter

[MADem]

45. +1,000 !!!! nt

[nolabear]

6. Premature ejaculation again.

Whoopsie.

[KamaAina]

7. Hello? 911? I'd like to report a pair of pants on fire...

[lark]

8. Good visual, so very true

The man just has no shame and the media is hiding so much of his lies it just makes me sick. People are going to be so unhappy if he's elected president and destroys our economy and constitution. They would be sayin gof him, like they now do of Rick Scott in FL, "however did he win, no one would vote for that creep".

Sorry for the downer, the polls are really getting me worried today.

[progressoid]

9. It's a good think those Mormon Undies are protecting him.

[JohnnyRingo]

10. The Italians?

I had to check because this is the first I'd heard that Jeep was owned by Italians. There's a Chrysler dealership 500 yards down the street from me and they still sell Jeeps there, so I feel stupid even checking, but I see it's still a wholly owned subsidity of Chrysler.

Romney was wrong on the very essence of his statement, let alone that they plan to move production to China. Anything he says is now suspect if he can't even get basic, easily checked facts right.

I listened to his stump speech today and he made several points I know to be untrue, such as Obama's tax increases, lower employment figures, and how Obama inherited a healthy country that was his gift from God.

I see the last 10 days of Romney's campaign will be a series of hail mary passes in hopes of flooding the fact checkers with pure volume.

[KamaAina]

11. Fiat is the majority owner of Chrysler

but not the sole owner.

Here's the article Mittwit must have read:

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-10-21/fiat-says-china-may-build-all-jeep-models-as-suv-demand-climbs.html

Chrysler, which entered an alliance with Turin, Italy-based Fiat as part of its U.S. government-backed bankruptcy, is relying on growth in China to counter weakness in Europe’s auto market. The automaker is targeting 500,000 annual sales outside North America by 2014, more than triple its overseas deliveries in 2009.

Chrysler currently builds all Jeep SUV models at plants in Michigan, Illinois and Ohio. Manley referred to adding Jeep production sites rather than shifting output from North America to China.

Another F for Mitt.

[tclambert]

20. He only reads every third or fourth word, mostly skimming for buzzwords.

"Chrysler . . . Italy . . . Fiat . . . growth in China . . . outside North America." Oh, goodness, it must mean they're going to outsource all their jobs to China!

[PatrynXX]

51. had to do some checking on that

only thing I came up with was Jeep is still owned in Ohio. some of their products were made in Italy but that stopped not long ago. So he must be working on outdated news..

[daybranch]

12. Jeep

Chrysler is the manufacturer Romney you idiot.

[Initech]

14. Yeah - someone who claims to like cars like Rmoney does should know that.

[louis-t]

13. And his point (if it were true) would be

what?

[Cha]

24. It's obvious to me.. he's trying to be like President Obama.

his damn schtick isn't working. His supporters are too braindead to be confused.

[Initech]

15. Romney made more money laying off people and outsourcing jobs...

Than he did keeping these companies afloat. Who the hell is he kidding at this point?

[ancianita]

16. Let's not raise the bullshit quotient by 'making up' a lie number, eh?

[Flaque]

17. Think about it.

Who would have better inside information on what jobs are planned for outsourcing than Willard?

[wryter2000]

18. Welcome to DU

Your first post made me

[PatrynXX]

52. seriously...

think Wallace has more brains (with his dog Gromit)


ahem spoilers as this is someone with an Xbox version playing the first Episode of the game

Either that or Wallace is running Willards campaign and Gromit is missing.

[renate]

19. how are my friends who support this guy not dying of embarrassment?

Seriously! I would be SO ASHAMED.

[Skittles]

21. why is he beefing about China?

Romney APPROVES of offshoring jobs and PROFITS from offshoring

[Stainless]

22. How does this help Romney?

Don't voters know that he is a leader in shipping jobs offshore?

[Cha]

23. Asshole. If his stupid voters were to

somehow ooze him in.. he would be creepy f****** Liar in chief. No damn doubt. F***** like to be lied to.

[Bill USA]

25. THE ONLY TIME ROMNEY IS NOT LIEING IS WHEN HE'S INHALING!

RECOMMENDED!

[Major Hogwash]

26. His dad would be so proud of him, don't ya think?

I mean, here's his son, who he raised to be an upstanding Mormon and do the right thing, and yet there's his son, lying out of both sides of his mouth.

Pathetic.

[Indydem]

28. How about we stick to the actual bullshit this idiot does.

Instead of giving him a rash of shit for quoting inaccurately written stories he reads in the press.

[NoMoreWarNow]

34. he's horrible all the way around, but we still need to call out dishonest crap like this

that can affect people's votes in Ohio

[TheNaimSadik]

29. Spam deleted by NRaleighLiberal (MIR Team)

[neffernin]

31. 65,000 lies

Does anyone have a master list? That would be quite the read.

[NoMoreWarNow]

33. Mitt Romney tells 533 lies in 30 weeks, Steve Benen documents them

http://maddowblog.msnbc.com/_news/2012/08/17/13338337-chronicling-mitts-mendacity-vol-xxx

[neffernin]

37. Thanks for that

Shame it has to be on the maddow blog, to some CNBC automatically means the information is classified as "liberal opinions" and not facts. Then again, people only believe what they want to believe anyways; if that wasn't the case then no one would vote for Mitt. IMO the Obama campaign should keep a tally and be very public about it.

[NoMoreWarNow]

39. yeah, I agree

though I suppose people would trust it even less from the O campaign

[NoMoreWarNow]

32. wow, this guy is just freaking unbelievable

but RWers are so fixated in their Obama is the devil narrative they can't see anything against Romney-- unreal.

[LisaM]

35. Mr. FactCheck

The fact that he's successful at anything is a bit surprising.

[Vietnameravet]

36. The worst parft about this is that most people just dont care that he lies..

[WCLinolVir]

38. Who has the onerous job of counting lies?

[MightyMopar]

40. Reason Chrysler is building Jeeps in China is because they're selling well even with $100K tariffs

Romney is trying to lie about a Chrysler success story and trying spin the lie to help him with low information voters.

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-05-22/jeeps-sell-for-189-750-as-china-demand-offsets-tariffs.html

Obama has tried to do something to help Jeep and American carmakers in general trying to sell in China.

[yellowcanine]

41. Romney must be getting desperate. No other explanation for such blatant falsehoods.

U.S. Jeep production is not moving to China. And Jeep is owned by Fiat, an international company, not by the "Italians." Allowing Fiat to own 52% of Chrysler meant the U.S. government got all their money back with interest. That should make Romney the businessman happy. Once again Romney tries to turn a silk purse into a sow's ear.

[ProudProgressiveNow]

42. Made up!

Whole cloth! Liarrrrr.

[Smickey]

50. Wait, Romney is supposed to be running on his

super righteous business experience right? Well isn't this sort of knee jerk reaction to information exactly the sort of thing the Obama administration should use against him? What type of executive will he make when he is always pissing himself on the way to the men's room.

[obxhead]

53. Just what did the corporate raider and outsourcer say HE would do to stop that?

[Vietnameravet]

54. I would like some opinions on this

I was wondering if you thought this would turn out to be a serious negative for Romney because people were lied to and made fearful and then they discover its all bullshit or will this lie work to Romneys benefit?

[titanicdave]

55. Now I know why

Robmoney lies.......last night on the Documentary Channel there was a film entitled "8: Mormon Proposition".....this film explains the Mormon role in passing proposition 8 in California and how they lied repeatedly about their involvement and how they poured literally millions of dollars to force their views onto the people of California......they actually taught their representatives to go door to door in California and tell lie after lie after lie to people to scare them into approving proposition 8........these are not good people

[lonestarnot]

56. Scumbag liar!

[libodem]

57. Would that be the Jeep company that is soon opening a 3rd shift?

Eff those liars. Pants on fire!!!

[bigregg4838]

58. All He Does Is Lie

How many times will this man flip flop on issues? Has he no integrity?

Check out this fuuuuuny parody of Eminem's The Real Slim Shady (The Real Mitt Romney). It is only 3 days new, and factually accurate. Highly entertaining.
