From Mitt Romney's speech last night. Media Matters seems to have the most thorough debunking I've found of this and other false claims in Romney's speech. Oh, and then there's this lovely little claim: "Obama went on an apology tour."

Full text here First off there is this bit: "I am running for president to help create a better future. A future where everyone who wants a job can find one. Where no senior fears for the security of their retirement. An America where every parent knows that their child will get an...

From what I have always heard, firms engaged in leveraged buyouts can deduct the cost of the interest. Matt Taibbi wrote, "Because minus that tax break, Romney's debt-based takeovers would have been unsustainably expensive. Before Lynn Turner became chief accountant of the SEC, where he...

Early in the primary season, one of the favorite topics of the punditry was how Romney's Mormonism made him unelectable. The closer he came to becoming the inevitable nominee, the less we heard of this as an issue in the campaign. Now it seems apparent that there is a journalistic embargo in...

There was a good article by William Saletan earlier this year about Mitt Romney's changing stories about what he believes about abortion and how he came to those beliefs. It's obvious Romney's position on abortion has changed over the years. But as Saletan points out, it's one thing to change...

EXCLUSIVE: In ’02 Romney Touted D.C. Connections, Federal Funds

Mitt Romney would restore 'Anglo-Saxon' relations between Britain and America Mitt’s First Foreign Stumble? That's quite an auspicious start! Let's see what other goodies the rest of his trip brings. :D

http://www.usatoday.com/news/politics/story/2012-07-16/supplement-industry-romney-fundraising/56282928/1 Isn't this just *********** unbelievable? To stoop so low as to make common cause with people whose products have almost no basis in science, and which more often do harm to the consumer...

I don't care about stupid things Romney may have done in his youth. I'm a little bothered by the dog on the car roof thing, but I don't consider it a presidential disqualifier. I want to hear about his plan for running the country. So far I have heard a lot of complaints about the job Obama...

Buy a company using extreme leverage, load it up with debt, cash out. That was basically the MO. Made huge profits for Bain Capital, but Bain was not on the hook to repay the debt if things didn't turn out so well, as they often didn't. One more example: Read the whole story

http://static.reuters.com/resources/media/editorial/20120529/RomneyBirthCertificate.pdf here we see the obviously faked birth certificate of señor Romney. there are parts missing on the left and at the bottom, and why is it only the short form? where is the long form?

"Freeriders" as I heard used by Nancy Pelosi Minority Leader of the United States House of Representatives (D-CA) and "Freeloaders" said by Xavier Becerra Democratic Vice-Chairman of the United States House of Representatives (D-CA) seem to be a thinly veiled slur on a segment of our population...

Delicate Pivot as Republicans Blast Rivals on Medicare Cuts

Sounds like people are arguing, huh? Like they just can't agree on whether or not a healthcare mandate is a tax or a penalty or a freeloader fee? But all that arguing is happening inside Mitt's head. http://maddowblog.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/07/05/12577042-a-flip-flop-flip-on-romneycares-tax...

This guy's worse than a SCOTUS Judge answering questions in a confirmation hearing. Romney avoided answering any and all specific policy questions in an entire interview on Face the Nation. Face the Nation: Why is Mitt Romney afraid of the media? This comment cracked me up:

So the common refrain during 2010 was that Tea Party folks were mainly concerned about the debt. Even though they were oddly silent during the Bush years, they were just boiling up the rage that exploded when the bank bailouts happened. But now they were mad. They weren't gonna take it...

http://www.theofrak.com/2012/06/romneys-religion-sumerian-submarines.html In an earlier post, I inquired into the core beliefs that Mitt Romney probably has as a “true believing Mormon.” There is considerable evidence that Mitt Romney is a true believer, and I will not rehash them here...

http://livewire.talkingpointsmemo.com/entries/romney-we-dont-need-more-firemen-more-policemen So the official GOP position is that we have too many cops on the beat? Too many firemen fighting wild fires from global warming recurring flooding? Too many teachers to teach our kids? Is that...

As a former Mormon, I thought I might be able to shed some light on Mitt Romney's religion. I don't think most people appreciate how strange Mormon beliefs are. On my blog, I started a series of posts beginning with Romney's Religion: What does it mean to be a "true believing" Mormon. I plan...

According to Mitt Romney he exemplifies free enterprise while Obama wants to wage a war on it. :rolleyes: Um....what? Has Obama ever hinted that he hates free enterprise? I seem to recall he bailed out the financial sector. Bailed out a major auto manufacturer. Decided to privatize space...

Kristol: Romney’s Attacks On Obama For Handling Of Chinese Dissident Are ‘Foolish’ Well, now, two weeks later, Chen and his family are safe in New York City, where he will attend New York University. Looks like it's a dark day for Mitt Romney and a day of shame for the Romney campaign.
