Democrats Catch Mitt Romney In A Huge Lie During The Facebook Debate

By: Guest ContributorJan. 8th, 2012more from Guest Contributor

The more Mitt Romney talks the harder it gets for him to keep his stories straight as evidenced by this DNC video that caught Romney in a big lie during the Facebook debate.

Here is the video:

The DNC video points out that Romney at first denies ever having seen one of the super PAC ads that have been attacking Newt Gingrich on his behalf, but just 14 seconds later, Romney was able to give an astounding point by point description of the ad’s attacks against Gingrich. The DNC ad destroys Romney’s denial by playing audio of him on The Laura Ingraham Show admitting that he raised money for the super PAC.

DNC Debbie Wasserman Schultz said after Romney’s big lie at the GOP debate, “This morning, the Republican presidential field participated in their second debate of the weekend. Once again, we saw that the Republican candidates don’t have any new ideas to help the middle class in our country get ahead. We also saw that Mitt Romney will say anything to win, and there’s no more potent example of that than when he said in one breath that he hadn’t seen super PAC ads aired in support of his campaign hitting his opponents and then in the next breath recited the content of one of the ads.”

It would be an amazing feat of psychic ability if Mitt Romney was able to tell the world what was in the super PAC ad without ever seeing it. Since Romney doesn’t have psychic powers, the most realistic explanation is that Romney not only knows what is in the ads, but his campaign is also helping to coordinate them.

The saddest part of all is that the Democratic National Committee is doing a better job challenging Mitt Romney than any of his primary opponents are. Mitt Romney has moved from a strategy of flip-flopping to flat out lying. Whether it is the number of jobs he created at Bain, his claim of spending life in the private sector, or claiming to have never seen ads that he is obviously intimately involved with, Romney has filled the last two debates with a mountain of lies.
None of his Republican competitors had the guts to put out an ad calling out Romney’s obvious lies, but the DNC is already in general election form. Romney can get away with his lies and tall tales while running for the Republican nomination, but he will get past the Democratic Party and Obama by simply making it up as he goes along.

Mitt Romney is trying to fib his way into the Oval Office, but Democrats are ready and waiting for Romney’s campaign of lies.

I hope so. His ads are damn slick, and Americans are damn gullible with damn short memories.

He didn’t have to see the ad, Jesus told him what was in it.

Is the guy pathological? How can the Republicans think for a minute that he’s going to hold up under the scrutiny of a months long campaign? He can’t do it now when he’s not the only one on the stage.

Are Mormons exempt from serving in the military? You know, in service to their country?

Is this why Mitt’s five sons couldn’t see fit to serve their country?

Can Baptists get exemptions? Or Buddhist? How about Jains?

  Oh, he didn’t serve in the regular US military backed by tax payers dollars, oh no, he served Mormon Militia…you know, that private little army reserved for Mormon aristocracy; they serve by “belief” dressed in smart preppy “Prussian” feathers and sit around the club, arm-chairing their battle plans…a very establish “militia”.

  Mormons serve in the military all the time. They were not exempt from the draft but got deferrals when they served as missionaries. Their names went back into the draft pot as soon as they returned unless they went to college and got another deferral or registered as Conscientious Objectors, which very few ever do. That status is available to anyone regardless of religion or no.
  
  Mittens grew up in a sheltered, privileged life, his family (and religion) were/are very conservative, and like many other silver spoons, was able to avoid being drafted (GWB). Romney didn’t serve at all however, unlike Bush who at least pretended to be part of the Reserves.
  
  I’m not excusing him, I’m just answering the question about Mormons and the military. What Mitt did as a youth is of no concern to me. What IS a concern is that he is part of and champion for the 1% while now pretending to understand and be part of the ‘common’ people, the middle class. Changing from a suit to shirt and jeans can’t change the lies about job creation while at Bain and that his economic plan will be disastrous for the 99% while continuing to enrich the 1%.

Basically the #GOP is counting on Americans to be as dumb as they were in 2004. Dumb enough to totally forget the absolute failure, incompetence, and disaster that the republican party is. They’re counting on everyone being as gullible and stupid as conservatives are to simply believe a bunch of lies and attack ads without fact checking anything. I other words they’re counting on that vast majority of America to be FOX news viewers and right-wing AM radio listeners.

I believe Senator Kyl (R) spoke for 99% of ReTHUGlicans and tea-baggers when he stated that if their lips were moving, those statements, were never intended to be factual or true.

So, Willard is not only an unethical shape-shifter but also a pathological liar. He is really showing his true colors and anyone who still chooses to vote for him will obviously be making a conscious choice to be led down the rabbit hole of insanity.

My psychic powers say that Mittens’ response to this will be to say he never “SAW” the ads, but they were DESCRIBED to him before the debate.

Followed by a smug sneer, because apparently, these people think that as long as they can vomit out ANY response at all, no matter how feeble (“I only cheated on my wife because I love my country SOOOO much”) they think they’ve “won”.

What a bunch of weaselly imbeciles.

  His surrogates are saying that Romney read newspaper clippings describing the ads–and that’s how he knew what was in them. Yup…

The only thing that worries me about Mitt is if he changes the tax to ten(10)percent for eveyone. It would put thousands if not millians of the poorest people on the street.

  Thats the plan. Not one single GOP candidate has a plan that doesn’t put extra burden on the poor
