All Romney has to do is post the Obama record and Obamabots go crazy. The Obama results are accurate and a disaster. Post the dishonesty in the Romney ads? More diversion from the Obama record!!

Not a lie as Heritage points out.

Abstract:

Under the guise of providing states greater “flexibility” in operating their welfare programs, the Obama Administration now claims the authority to weaken or waive the work requirements that are at the heart of welfare reform. But Congress intended that those requirements be absolutely mandatory in all instances and specifically withheld any authority to weaken or waive them. Waiving the work requirements that are at the center of the 1996 welfare reform is not only terrible policy, but also a violation of the President’s constitutional obligation to “take care that the laws be faithfully executed.”

That is an opinion. Since we will only know the result in the future, no serious person who is not associated with either campaign could call that a lie. There is reason to dispute if you like but calling everything you don't like a lie is absurd.

But then in this campaign season if it works keep doing it.
 
The way politifact shows it-the republicans look like a bunch of mud slinging fools who want to paint a false picture of Obama and his record
^So you're making an accusation, but copping out on backing it up^

But, you see, that is a liberal site. You know it is a liberal site, because it says that the anti Obama commercials are lies.

Which is all very logical in a circular sort of way.

Now, if you consult a conservative site, you'll see that the anti Romney ads are based on lies.

Which is what makes it a conservative site, by the same circular reasoning.

But, if you go to a "liberal" site, and a "conservative" site, you'll see that the anti Obama ads and the anti Romney ads are all based on lies.

Which would lead you to the truth.

Unless, of course, you're rooting for one party or the other, in which case you only believe that the ads paid for by that other party are lies.

Which makes me wonder just what good the ads do, as the only people who believe those lies are already going to vote for their favorite party regardless of facts, logic, or reality.

This should be an issues driven campaign and the Obama record is THE issue. All these negative attack ads are nothing more than a diversion from the Obama record
 
Conservative said:
I have never used the term fair share as that is an Obama term and yet liberals never define it. This is just another Obamabot diversion because it defies logic and common sense. The lies and distortions from Obama and his supporters will never stop.

Obama ran on changing the tone in Washington and I guess he did, he made it worse.

So what are you going to do this November when Mittens gets flushed by the American people?

Your message is not being accepted.

http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2012/08/09/cnn-poll-obama-holds-7-point-lead-over-romney/

The Obama lead is getting larger.

The Romney unfavorable numbers are now almost half the electorate up six points at 48%.

The Independents now rate Mittens in the unfavorable category by a clear majority -- 52% up a whopping 12 points from the previous 40%.

It looks like the tax stuff is killing Mittens.

What I am going to do is remain in TX with its low tax structure, growing economy, growing population and watch liberal states like Illinois and California go into bankruptcy looking for a Federal taxpayer bailout.

What the polls show is that the politics of personal destruction have worked so far and Obama running as an outsider continues to fool the Obamabots.

There you go with your false equivalence mantra, again. The truth is that Politifact is a non-partisan, Pulitzer Prize winning fact checking site. The Heritage Foundation, OTOH, is a right-wing think tank.

And our president is a Nobel Peace Prize winner, but has been a part of at least 3 different wars.

Do you think that so called lie trumps the Obama lies about people keeping more of what they earn takes money from the poor? Or that the rich aren't paying their fair share thus need a tax hike? You think it is appropriate for the President of the United States to run as an outsider and not meet with his Job's Council with 23 million unemployed/under employed Americans? Do you think it is appropriate for the President of the United States to say that compromise is needed in D.C. when he is out campaigning and not reaching out to compromise with anyone?

I think you should simply acknowledge that Romney told anothe bald-faced lie and stop trying to divert attention with partisan pap.

And the two things have absolutely nothing to do with one another, but thank you for your observation.

because you say it doesn't make it true as has been shown many times over the past year. I would call it a lie if it were a lie. Obama changed Congressional law by executive order. That guts the law and is illegal.

You are as dishonest as Romney is, and thus a waste of time. :roll:
 
Conservative said:
Aw, just love politifact but noticed it is never used when Obama lies are posted and supported. I could go throw each of those items listed but it would be a waste of time because you don't want to hear the truth and it doesn't come from Politifact

Certainly we are not getting the truth from you. I can't wait until President Obama confronts Romney's lies at the debates. BTW, you are welcome to post from Politifact as well.

Thank you and you are a legend in your own mind, and in your mind never wrong on any issue. Interesting that even with all your posts you have never once professed your direct support for Obama. IMO this is an act for attention.
