Lies and the Lying Romney’s Who Tell Them

Another day, another mouthful of lies from the Romneytron 9000. Krugman tries to find the truth in Romney’s stump speech. He couldn’t find any!

I mean, is there anything at all in Romney’s stump speech that’s true? It’s all based on attacking Obama for apologizing for America, which he didn’t, on making deep cuts in defense, which he also didn’t, and on being a radical redistributionist who wants equality of outcomes, which he isn’t. When the issue turns to jobs, Romney makes false assertions both about Obama’s record and about his own. I can’t find a single true assertion anywhere.

Now if only we had some kind of profession in this country, whose members’ job it was to investigate the facts behind a politician’s rhetoric. Perhaps we could call them “journalists”. Nah.
