Mitt Romney Won Debate by Lying
It's apparently what he does best. That fits with what the people who's jobs he shipped to China tell us. Romney will say anything to get his way. No wonder he's Karl Roves new champion.

Video: Why Students at Stanford Shunned Young Mitt Romney
And how and why Romney avoided the draft though he believed the Vietman War was good. (He even demonstrated against anti-draft demonstrators.)
Still he refused to go and deferred until he had a high lottery number. (The draft lottery was based on your birthday. So there were 366 choices. You stood for it for one year, at which time a new lottery was held for the next batch of eligible young men who would stand for it, and usually no one with with a birthday that ranked over 150 were required to report to the enlistment center.) Bill Clinton did the same, using deferments based, not on his powerful and wealthy father, but on his brainpower that got him scholarships (Clinton's parents were not rich and, in fact, his mother had left his step-father I think by that time. Clinton's own father died in a car accident in the months before he was born, IIRC.). But Bill Clinton was against the war on moral grounds. Mitt Romney was for the war, and would have gotten a relatively safe, assignment, like Al Gore's (who was the son of a Senator), but dodged, just like Cheney and other Chickenhawks.
Even at that though, the unauthorized use (or claim thereof) of a troopers uniform is creepier still. As others have pointed out, the Washington Post article that exposed Romney's known bullying past also relates a tale of Romney in collusion with two friends, staged the governor's son dressing in trooper uniform arresting the young men on a double date an leaving the two young women apparently stranded in the middle of the night by the side of the road. The article does report though the young women were back in their dorms by 11:00 pm.

Videos Show Romney's Anti Gay Agenda & How Big Money Games Scientists, and Buys Politicians, and The News Media Goes Along.
Two Rachel Maddow videos show that anti-gay groups actually gamed a famous scientist that first found that homosexuality was not a disease, so that he published another report expressing a belief that some homosexuals could be cured.
Watch these two videos for the complete story.
Note that the scientist now claims he was sent subjects from an anti-gay group that claimed they were cured of being gay, and that he no longer felt confident that the people he talked to were telling the truth. Also the man Rachel talks to was also part of that group. This was an important study, that gave a major boost to anti-gay proselytizing, and the scientist was obviously fooled, but it was all a sham.
What is being described in these videos is like the kind of fascism that created Nazi Germany. Fake science. Yep right there. Major political groups basing their whole meme for the poor on bigotry and racism. Yep. (The rich will go along because the Republicans give them the message not to worry, wealthy people like them will be safe. and the mainstream news system refuses to deal with reality, because they can sell the control of the masses' minds for money to the fat cats.)
This is 1984 and only bits and pieces of this are getting out.
Another news report I recently read said that wealthy supporters of same sex marriage believe that Romney will back their cause, even though if you watch the videos above you know that the Romney's charity actually donates to anti-gay groups.
The Bible says you can only be one way or the other. I guess Mitt Romney is too wealthy for those silly rules in the Bible. That's for the rest of us who aren't part of the 1%.
Mitt Rommey is the greatest scam ever put upon Americans. The only thing he is being honest about is his desire for more military actions in the world.
America had better wake up or we'll be stuck with this man in the White House.

AP: Men Lost More Jobs at the Start of Bush's Great Recession, Women in the Latter Part Because of Demographics, Republican Intransigence.
Cue Depression Music for Mr. R-Money
He delivers BS that sounds suspiciously like a Karl Rove talking point and as easily disproven. Even at that though the Associated Press does half a job of debunking it. The other half would have put Republicans in a bad light. Mustn't go there, right AP?

The AP did a half-baked analysis of Governor Romney's, Karl Rovish assertion that 92.3% of jobs lost under Obama were those held by women. The writer tells us that condition developed because men bore the brunt of job losses in the first 13 months of the Great Recession that happened before Obama came into office:
Romney's math is solid as far as it goes. But more men than women have lost jobs since the recession began — that's why economists called it a "man-cession."
In blaming Obama for "turning the clock back 20 years on American women," as the Romney campaign puts it, Republicans are hoping to counter Obama's perceived advantage with female voters. But they ignore how recessions generally — and the last one in particular — unfold, and they hold Obama accountable for the state of the economy from the time he took office, before his policies could make any difference.But the AP report continues
Still, even that, though technically accurate, doesn't show the totality of the real picture. In fact, after the Republicans grabbed the leadership of the House in the 2010 election and even before they have been working to harm women's employment chances. First by cutting the stimulus and requiring that much of the package focus on tax cuts. But later, after they came into power in many states as well as the US House of Representatives by promising more jobs, they instead, in the states, first cut taxes for the wealthy and businesses, and then tried to decimate the public worker sector including in education the cornerstone of progress for Americans.
If you're really strapped for cash you don't take what little money you have and go throw it at the nearest group of millionaires, and then go home, start throwing your family out of the house so you can live in it alone, and afterwards still expect them to look at you as a benevolent leader of the group. In fact, you would seem a tyrant to them more interested in pleasing fat cats than in taking care of your family, which is actually what the Republican party is all about. After all Republicans, are reliant on political advertising purchased using the money of the top 1% of businesses and individuals. This is never aired adequately in the press because the news media depends for its funds on the same wealthy people.
So, less even than the effect of male jobs being lost, jobs women have held in our states and counties were decimated at least twice by Republican governance, once by the recession that took away the good paying jobs for men coupled with Republican intransigence in the US House, and then by the GOP in 2011 which, like we saw in Wisconsin, bumped as many public workers as they could out of jobs because they themselves were sitting in good publicly funded jobs, but saw a better future for themselves as being repaid by the Koch brothers and other like-minded people they court with tax cuts and destruction of state and federal government jobs, most of which had been stable and well paid with benefits which allowed men and women to raise and educate their children in a little bit of comfort.
And the GOP has forced cuts to the length of time a person can receive unemployment benefits .If a man or woman has to forgo retraining for a type of job that can be held, to support his or her family immediately he or she might have to take a cleaning job at the local market or fast food joint. One free to work longer at regaining employment could take classes and get a good middle class job that sets his or her family on the path to creating great futures for their kids and a good retirement for themselves.
So, in fact, the GOP has been the primary culprit in male and female job losses as they cut unemployment benefits, and safety nets. It is typical though that they then come out and blame Obama for that which the GOP has been actively achieving in their quest to gain total control of the nation so they can sell your rights to a good life for your family to multimillionaires.
Why don't they just put a sign on it.
NOW OWNED BY BAIN CAPITAL. WORKERS CAN REAPPLY FOR JOBS (AT DRASTICALLY LOWER WAGES} STARTING MONDAY.
That is if they don't just take all of those degraded employment opportunities and outsource them to China anyway. That would fit right into the Romney/GOP game plan that has actually helping China and the 1% destroy our economy.
Thanks for nothing, GOP.
