Mitt Lies Debate 1

Rokkitsci said:
The trouble with liberals is they think that if someone rebuts one of THEIR lies, the debunker must be the liar.

Obama has not said anything truthful during his entire presidency. He is the utmost liar - and to have the DEMs call Romney a liar is the height of irony.

Well they voted in Bill Clinton to, the King of Liars.

Bush and Romney both got where they were because they come from families of millionaires, and nepotism got them jobs where they could "earn" the money they did. Kerry married into wealth, Bush and Kerry were born into wealth. I don't see a meaningful distinction.

Perhaps Bush got a great advantage from his parents wealth, but not Romney. Romney earned every penny he has. He gave away all his inheritance and started with nothing but his skill and intelligence <== a trait that should be universally praised instead of mocked.

You can argue that he did not want for anything during his youth. But nothing was given to him beyond a good homelife and a duty to be a good citizen. Romney is probably the most decent, honest, compassionate, and intelligent man to ever run for president. He is the man every parent should want their children to emulate.

How the DEMs can smear such a fine man with their slurs, lies, and outright maliciousness is a mystery to me. Shame on all of them.

Obama is an empty suit with nothing to recommend him for the job. He is a disaster and his constant lying and irresponsibility is perhaps the worst example of presidential behavior in our history - certainly in the 60 years that I have been keeping up with such.

Is that you Paul Ryan?
 
I can't get over how Romney opponents consider Romney a liar just because someone, somewhere comes out and disagrees with him. If one uses that logic, then Obama would be the king of liars (he actually is) just because the people spanked the Democratic Party back in 2010.

MItt's actions in using all his resources to help find an employee's missing children speaks volumes that the hate the rich clowns don't want to hear. I was at an Olympic coach's symposium and those from the winter games had nothing but good things to say about the man

Umm, he paid for his education -- and supported his family -- by selling stock from his trust fund. He really pulled himself up by his father's Gucci bootstraps. :roll:

Yeah and his wealth bought him that 3.96 GPA in college and that cum laude law degree and top of his class MBA degree.

its amazing how the left can excuse all sorts of social pathologies in their voters and complain about achievers on the right

Video @: Mitt Lies Debate 1 - YouTube

So how many more lies will Romney tell in the next debate? Is there really no penalty for being wrong in this country? Does the "media" not call candidates out on this anymore?[/FONT][/COLOR]

Crap. You lazy sons of bitches. So I'm supposed to go through this video, create a transcript of sorts, and respond to each point? No freeking way. You list the points first if there's anything in there worth posting.

No, his wealth just paid his tuition, and helped him get into top-tier schools. Like Obama, Romney earned his good grades.

We know Romney always had top grades and received no affirmative action (3.96 is above the GPA average at Harvard Law)

Obama we have serious doubts about-the reasonable belief is a white man with obama's GPA and resume would not have been accepted into Columbia or HLS

Leftists should supply links to reputable sources, if they know of any, whenever they make a claim.

"Well this really sucks. I mean, with my re-election coming up and all. Folks were stupid enough to vote me in the first time... they've GOT to believe all of this crap we made up about a video. But hey, no worries, worst case scenario I just blame it all on this b*itch standing next to me..."

False.

There's no evidence we saw that Romney's parents helped buy him a business career. But there were certain advantages to Romney's comfortable upbringing.

Romney started college at Stanford, where his "allowance" was big enough for frequent plane tickets to sneak home to Michigan see his girlfriend, Ann, according to a recently published book by two Boston Globe journalists, "The Real Romney."

After a two-year missionary trip to France, where he lived sparely as he proselytized door-to-door, he finished his undergraduate studies at BYU, where he married Ann in 1969. He was 22, his wife 19. His parents' wedding gift? A car. Meanwhile, the students — who started a family a year later — lived in a modest, $62-a-month basement apartment, Ann later told the Boston Globe. But they didn't have to work.

"We were happy, studying hard. Neither one of us had a job, because Mitt had enough of an investment from stock that we could sell off a little at a time," she said.

When the couple moved to Boston so Romney could study business and law at Harvard, his parents helped them buy a house.

It's not clear who paid for his education, but Romney wasn't exactly a struggling student: enough cash for plane tickets, a car as a wedding gift, stock that kept him from having to work, help buying a home.

But hey, why let facts get in the way of a good lie political narrative?

Its been reported dozens of times. Romney was claimed to be the valedictorian in college-he noted he was only the top of the major with a 3.96. Do you think he could make this claim if it was inaccurate? Did Harvard Give white males affirmative action at Harvard? NO

Blacks were given a .5 GPA increase (a 3.3 which almost guaranteed rejection was increased to 3.8 which was about average for white men) and a 130 LSAT increase (meaning an uncompetitive 650 was converted into an above average (for Harvard) score of 780)

what relevance does your rant have about Romney other than you constantly rant about the wealthy in many of your posts.

What were his grades at Stanford? Why did he transfer from a great school like Stanford to a mediocre school like BYU?

he was near the top of his class at stanford. BYU has had more supreme court clerks in the last 20 years than Tulane BTW. He went on his mission and got married-he transferred to stanford because that is where his wife was studying
