Why Williard Won't Stop Lying

[McCamy Taylor]

Men who look upon themselves born to reign, and others to obey, soon grow insolent. Selected from the rest of mankind, their minds are early poisoned by importance; and the world they act in differs so materially from the world at large, that they have but little opportunity of knowing its true interests, and when they succeed in the government are frequently the most ignorant and unfit of any throughout the dominions.
Tom Paine, Common Sense

150,000,000 Google hits describe Romney's lies and 26,000,000 call him an outright liar. That makes him the most truth impaired candidate for president that we have seen since Tricky Dick ran on a campaign of ending the war in Vietnam---while secretly bribing Kissinger to sabotage LBJ's peace talks with North Vietnam. How does Romney sleep with himself at night? Easy. Romney thinks that he is a god-to-be, meaning that he is not running for president, he is running for Caesar or King, positions that are stepping stones on his road to divinity.

All Mormon males in good standing know that once they die, they will become gods with their own planets full of devoted worshipers. And Romney, with his enormous piles of trash is obviously a very, very good Mormon, since the God of the puritans shows His favor by granting material wealth in this world and then spiritual wealth in the next. That makes Romney a demi-god, at the very least. He is running for president in order to increase the number of worshipers he will have in his next life. If the law denies him a harem of wives to wait upon him after death, he will accept a bunch of serfs instead.

Having God as a president should be a good (Godly) thing, right? Depends upon what you think the president's job is. If the Commander-in-Chief exists in order to increase His own glory and reward His faithful and punish His enemies, then Romney is the man for the job. If the president is supposed to serve the people, then maybe Mittens is not such a good choice.

Take Romney's position on FEMA and natural disasters. Of course he would be against federal assistance for storm ravaged states. A storm is an act of God. Helping people who have been punished by God is a sin. If God-President Romney decides to punish you for being an unmarried pregnant woman or a gay male or Black, you had better keep your mouth shut and enjoy it----the way that some Republicans want women to enjoy rape. Indeed, as a god in the making, if Romney screws you over, it won't be figurative rape---it will be what Zeus did to Leda. And Danae. And Io.

The Roman Caesars got away with anything---murder, incest---because they knew that upon their deaths they would become gods, and gods are always right----even retroactively. So, when Romney lies, he does so secure in the knowledge that the truth is what he (God) says it is---and therefore, it is fact checkers like Candy Crowley who are going to Hell.

Now, I would like to suggest a common sense exercise for anyone thinking "Ah, Romney can't be so bad. He was governor of Massachusetts." Think back to the last president who believed that he was the anointed successor. The one who lied and cheated his way into office twice. The one who used his power to enrich his friends and persecute everyone else. The one whose Department of Justice waged war on Black Folks. The one who used the military as mercenaries for the oil industry. The one who used the Constitution as toilet paper, because he answered to a higher law---his own. While Romney may not seem exactly like W. at first glance---he is a bit smarter and a hell of a lot more disagreeable---they are cut from the same cloth. The only difference between Willard and W. is the friends that will be rewarded and the enemies who will be squashed like bugs. So, unless you are Mormon or a hedge fund managers or a banker, you really ought to get out there vote for Obama, the man who looks after his enemies as well as his friends because he knows he was elected to serve them all.

1. so true

[moobu2]

2. They can not win without lying

so I doubt they are going to stop anytime soon. I hope President Obama's team are ready for the onslaught.

[Squinch]

3. There IS that, but I just think this is a guy who, at the core, has no substance. He is completely

at the mercy of outside influences and those are always changing.

I truly think he has a pathology.

[BigDemVoter]

4. He's a pathological LIAR

He's incapable of telling the truth. If he told me it was raining outside, I wouldn't believe him.

[DFW]

5. I think it's more simple than that. Republicans aren't complicated people.

He won't stop lying because he DOESN'T HAVE TO.

He could say Michelle Obama is secretly a spider from Mars and wears big skirts to hide her other four limbs, and Fox "News" would run with it, and 85% of the freepers would take it as Gospel.

Why should he stop lying? It won't lose him ONE Republican vote, and may gain him a few.

It's that sad. It's that simple.

[Third Doctor]

6. He keeps lying because he hopes he will gain enough

unengaged or low information voters who don't know any better. He is really saying that the average voter is dumb an he knows better.
