Pro Tip - first, try http://obamalies.net

Then you can sort by "specific lie" in the "lie directory"

Pretty sad state of affairs when the non-"sheeple" (your word) have to dedicate an entire web site to accurately catalog these gems

Laughing at you, not with you

George Romney was born in Mexico. John Sununu born in Havana, Cuba - and stalked the halls of the White House as Chief of Staff. John McCain was born at Panama Canal. Why does this not matter? But Obama does? Gee ... who knows!?

Romney’s old tax returns — should he or shouldn’t he?

Under the Obama standard, Romney’s every investment will be the potential subject of a new attack. Each attack will be more ridiculous than its predecessor. If Romney invested in a company owned by someone whose grandfather’s cousin once closed a big plant in Ohio, then expect the voters of that state quickly to learn about it.

Unfortunately, in this campaign there appears to be no barrier to such attacks. To its credit, portions of the MSM have tried to call foul on Obama. But there’s always an outlet like the Boston Globe willing to serve as Obama’s accomplice by fanning the flames. If Romney releases more returns, he might well find himself putting out fires for weeks.

Thus, the question of whether Romney should release more returns cannot be resolved based on the adage, if he’s got nothing to hide then he shouldn’t hide anything. The campaign needs to weigh the potential damage of no further disclosure against the damage Team Obama can inflict if it obtains more returns.

Those of us on the outside can’t help the Romney camp make this assessment. But we can warn that, in estimating the damage Obama can inflict, the Romney camp must be mindful that Obama doesn’t play by, and isn’t held to, the normal rules.

Listen, we all understand that the Obama apologists share the same disdain for the Constitution that he does, but if you're going to really ask such an absurd question, you really ought to load up on a little Constitution 101 before doing so.

It has nothing to do with the Constitution, does it?

Proud patriot for my entire life, thanks. Especially love that uniquely American phrase, "All men are created equal". Even wingnuts and conspiracy theorists.

Bless their hearts.

Interesting take by Howard Fineman on why the GOP is turning on Mitt Romney:

WASHINGTON -- Months after he mathematically locked up the Republican presidential nomination, Mitt Romney remains a political hairball that GOP insiders -- conservative and otherwise -- wish they could cough up before the convention in Tampa, Fla., next month.

... snip...

That is the real, unspoken political meaning behind the remarkable, rising chorus of [ GOP ] voices calling on the presumptive party nominee to release more of his federal tax returns to the public.

"The fact is, no one likes the guy or believes in him," said the campaign manager for a former Romney rival, who declined to be quoted by name because his former boss is on record supporting Romney's campaign against incumbent President Barack Obama.

"Look back at our 2008 primaries," he said. "Who did all the other candidates dislike? Romney. Look at this year. Who did all the other candidates dislike? Romney. No one wants Obama to win, but no one likes the guy who is running against him."

Republican leaders, especially conservatives, see Romney as a malleable, cynical power-grabber without principle or compass.

... snip ...

Over the last week, a disparate array of Republican and conservative leaders have called on Romney to do what he is clearly loathe to do: release several years if not a decade or more of his federal tax returns. It is an unspoken form of payback.

The list [ demanding payback ] is not only a veritable who's who of the party, but a not-so-subtle roster of people who opposed Romney for the presidential nomination. That they have not fallen in line behind Romney's stonewalling is a telling sign.

Huh Whaaa???!! Thank you for your Patriotism, but I don't recall anyone ever (at least I never) questioned it - but thanks for bringing it up...

From the Obama Dictionary:

US Constitution ~ A cute, little list of funny suggestions on how to run things, starting with my illegitimate presidency and ending with my obliteration of at least half of the Bill of Rights. Go Me!!
