Romney, king of liars.

The Obama campaign is in a lather over Mitt Romney’s first TV spot, calling it “a deceitful and dishonest attack” because of an edited quote from 2008. That’s a matter of opinion. We find a far more consequential issue is the ad’s exaggerated claim that the new health care law is “killing jobs.” 


 No. Not a matter of opinion. A fact. Half the quote is left out, the part that says it's what some other guy said. I can't remember any public figure lying this egregiously. And that's a word I never use. Romney and his people lie like a rug and never look back. Again, you won't find anything approaching this level of dishonesty anywhere in politics in the last fifty years. It's a completely unique kind of treachery.


 And the job killing issue is nowhere near as consequential as the issue of honesty and integrity. In any case this mega-gaffe will be forgotten, but not by me. I will hate this man til the day I die. His off hand attitude toward civilians amounts to a personal slight. The kind that cannot be forgiven. The smug bastard. Corporations are people my friend indeed. I'm not your friend. That expression has a tone to it that is meant to offend. The guy doesn't use words right. Sport? I thought he was in sport? But he wasn't in sport. Is our children learning?


Which brings up another low quality in reporting. Nearly everything is forgotten, considered old news. Obama's Reverend Wright connection is a rarity. Nearly every other display of weakness or stupidity is treated as old news, of no further value. So nobody reminds us of Harry Reid's silliness over transferring prisoners, or Biden's amazing most blacks are dirty and can't talk right gaffe, though Biden's general lack of self control is often referred to by comics. Etch a sketch, who let the dogs out, America the Beautiful, the dog on the car roof... God this is exhausting. Don't tell me you haven't thought pretty much the same thing. Obama's cling to guns and religion, Hilary Clinton's under fire remarks, just fade away. Don't get my point? Think it has no real value? Why!? It's good stuff. And don't tell me there's no way to bring old news up. Of course there is.
