It's the lying. Mitt Romney, in his political life, has always been an utterly brazen liar.

Back when he ran for Governor and lied about where he filed his taxes, all though every subsequent campaign where he's lied even after being caught out by multiple media outlets ("our campaign will not be dictated by fact checkers"), up to and including his appalling lie-filled debate speech last week repeating long-debunked outright lies ("death panels" "751B from Medicare" "42% clearly false statements").

Newt Gingrich called him the most dishonest politician he's ever seen. This is why Romney lost to Kennedy for Senate, it's why he lost the GOP primary early in 2008, and it's why nobody in the GOP or his primary opponents care about him. Tim Pawlenty bailed from his campaign a few weeks back to become a lobbyist, for gosh sakes, when the 47% video came out.

Mitt Romney isn't just a shading politician, he's a stone-cold liar, and he looks you in the eye, smacks his lips (his tell) and lies to your face. About a third of the public is simply ignoring this is occurring. Simply amazing.
Newt called him out as a brazen liar after the Republican debates. Obama was well aware of this going into the debate and he did NOTHING to counter.

I know. I think Obama was so shocked when Romney changed 180 degrees from what he'd said the day before, he wasn't prepared for it. But he should have been prepared, and should have prefaced every single response with, "You know, Gov. Romney, that is not factually true"

Romney was clearly trying to goad Obama on with the barrage of deliberate lies and policy 180's, I'm quite sure of it.

Fascinating debate to watch for the tactical bullying of the moderator and the opponent. It was indeed a "Gish Gallop"

If you listen and watch the debate again, Obama clearly comes off better, calmly trying to fact-check Romney's barrage of words.

But Romney, with his caffinated aggression and overbearing style, came off the winner in impression, absolutely. Too bad everything coming out of his mouth was false and made-up

When your own website can be used to fact-check you as false, and your own campaign comes out immediately after the debate and corrects your lies, you should know you've crossed the line.

The American public just doesn't seem to care about the lying with this guy.

When an embassy requests security, is denied, gets attacked on the anniversary of 9-11, four die and the President calls it a bump in the road blaming it on a film trailer made and put out months ago, houston we have a problem!
