No.

I think that lying while running for office is something that voters have an absolute right to investigate, in order to make decisions before they vote.

Unless they are uneducated and swept up in the greatest marketing campaign in history of course.

All politics is marketing. That's why Mitt's week has been completely disastrous. Sheldon Adelson has hundreds of millions and has said he'll spend them. They are currently outspending 4 to 1. Not getting much for it, however, the poll numbers just won't rise.

I hope Sheldon gets to purchase his Department of Justice via his owned operative President Romney, in order to halt that currently ongoing federal investigation that would ruin his business.

Wow - can you imagine if candidate Obama did that? What would be said about it? Limbaugh, Erickson, Hannity - their heads would literally explode, wouldn't they?

Marketing - Fodder of Xenophobes knows how to do it best

Where you do you get your information from Riot? The real polls haven't changed in any significant way since Ryan became Romney's running mate. You must looking at the MSNBC poll which they conduct by a show of hands in their newsroom.

The only poll done since Saturday is Gallup. You have another?

Romney is ahead by 2 points on Gallup, did his lead shrink since last Saturday?

Romney got zero bump from choosing Paul Ryan as his VP. He gambled against the advice of his major advisors, and lost, big-time. He gave away Florida. Fool.

Default West Nile Virus outbreak in Texas

Dallas had declared an emergency, 465 infections statewide, 17 deaths from mosquito-transmitted encephalitis. CDC on the forefront helping give advice to state on trying to decrease morbidity and mortality. Infectious disease specialists sent to Texas.

Republicans want to eliminate Centers for Disease Control. Fools.

Like Gov. Rick Scott in Florida, who closed down health centers in poor areas and as a direct result is now dealing with the worse tuberculosis outbreak in decades.

Just fools.

So do you think that proven lies used when pandering to certain voters, such as Obama's claims in a 2007 speech in Selma, Alabama that President Kennedy sponsered the airlift in Africa responsible for bringing his family to the U.S, when in reality Obama's father came to the U.S. 2 years before JFK was President and his claim that Selma's 1965 Bloody Sunday demonstration brought his parents together which led to his birth when in fact he was born four years before that demonstration are more important regarding a candidate's qualifications than the pure speculation that Romney is lying about dodging the payment of his taxes?
