Top Dem lies and ex-Queen Dem backs him up

[danceswithdogs]

What a surprise! NOT!
Prince Harry spouts a bald-faced lie about Mitt Romney, then ex-Queen-of-Liars backs him up, saying "someone told him, so it's true".

What a bunch of desperate fools!



Mitt Romney called on Harry Reid Tuesday to reveal the source for his claim that the Republican presidential candidate has not paid taxes for 10 years, stepping up pressure as two major fact-check sites ruled Reid had no basis for the "incendiary" allegation.

Romney, in an interview with Fox News, said he doesn't believe Reid has a credible source but urged the Senate Democratic leader to reveal who it is.

"I don't really believe that he's got any kind of a credible source," Romney said. "I don't know who gave him this line of reasoning, whether it came from the White House or the DNC or a staffer, but he ought to say where it came from, and then we can find out whether that person has any credibility. I know they don't."

He said Reid also has "lost a lot of credibility."

Romney's latest comments came as two major fact-check sites knocked down Reid's comments, which the senator amplified by repeating them last week on the Senate floor. Reid has said his source is an investor with Romney's former venture capital company Bain.

But PolitiFact wrote that it is "far-fetched" to believe Romney paid no taxes for 10 years. Further, the article stated the obvious -- "Reid has produced no evidence to back up his claim other than attribution to a shadowy anonymous source."

PolitiFact concluded: "Reid has made an extreme claim with nothing solid to back it up." They gave the accusation a "Pants on Fire!" rating.

The Washington Post's fact-check column, too, gave Reid's remark the equivalent of a "Pants on Fire!" score. The Post gave it "four Pinocchios," which is the newspaper's score for a claim they knock down.

"Without seeing Romney's taxes, we cannot definitively prove Reid incorrect. But tax experts say his claim is highly improbable. Reid also has made no effort to explain why his unnamed source would be credible. So, in the absence of more information, it appears he has no basis to make his incendiary claim," the Post wrote.

The White House, meanwhile, has distanced itself from Reid's remark. Press Secretary Jay Carney said Monday the Senate Democratic leader "speaks for himself."

House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi, though, has defended Reid. She told The Huffington Post that Reid made a "true" statement.

"Somebody told him. It is a fact," she said.

Like other Democratic officials, Pelosi said Romney can either prove or disprove the claim by releasing more tax returns.

As for "releasing his tax returns".....I would not do more than is required by law either. Mitt is damned if he does, and damned if he doesn't. The nosy only want to find out how "rich" Romney is, how he spends him money etc. Obama loves to poke at "the rich", without bothering to include himself in that group now.

This country has a leader who is so secretive about his own past, and has paid millions to seal his records from college and his law practice, the truth surrounding his birth and other hidden agendas......I suggest that Romney withhold all further information UNTIL Obama opens up his own records to scrutiny.

Fat chance of that happening, right?

So, it seems that the Dems now have no qualms about just makin' stuff up and flying it as campaign ads.

The most recent demonstration of this is the current low-life, scummy ad trying to find a way to get people to believe Mitt Romney was somehow responsible for the cancer death of a former employee's wife. Quite a stretch (that does not even begin to stretch far enough to make a connection), but then the Dems claim is they "don't know the specifics of the man's case", when indeed they have USED the same man in prior ads. Now how dumb can they get? Don't people (even Dem voters) see the idiocy and hypocrisy?

I guess not. Or, they really ARE that dumb.

Obama campaign no stranger to steelworker in disputed ad

The former Kansas City steelworker featured in a scathing ad tying his wife's death to Mitt Romney has appeared in Obama campaign videos before -- despite claims by a top Obama adviser Wednesday that he doesn't know "the specifics of this man's case" amid revelations that the ad is inaccurate and misleading.

The Romney campaign and other fact-checkers have pushed back hard on the ad, released Tuesday by pro-Obama super PAC Priorities USA. The ad, featuring former GST Steel worker Joe Soptic, suggests Romney was in some way responsible for the death of Soptic's wife because his plant was shuttered after a takeover by Romney's firm and others -- and because his wife died of cancer after he lost his health insurance.

However, the ad hides details about the timeline of those events. Soptic's wife died five years after GST filed for bankruptcy. His wife reportedly had her own health insurance after Soptic left GST. And Romney had long since left Bain Capital at the time of her death.

Romney spokeswoman Andrea Saul called the ad "disgusting" and "despicable" in an interview with Fox News. "This ad just shows the depth to which the Obama campaign and their allies will go to try to smear Mitt Romney," she said.

Further, the Obama campaign certainly is familiar with the story of Soptic, despite claims by top campaign aides that they're not as they tried to make the case Wednesday that the super PAC ad had nothing to do with the campaign's work.

Soptic appeared in a pair of Obama campaign videos in May which hammered Romney over his former company Bain Capital's role before GST filed for bankruptcy.

"They made as much money off it as they could, and they closed it down," Soptic said in that video, wearing what appears to be the same shirt he wore in the most recent ad. "It was like watching an old friend bleed to death."

This week, Soptic reemerged in the Priorities USA ad telling how his wife got sick, and later died of cancer, after he was let go at GST steel.

Asked about the spot, Obama campaign adviser Robert Gibbs stressed that the super PAC is not connected to the campaign.

"This is an ad by an entity that's not controlled by campaign. I certainly don't know the specifics of this man's case," he said on MSNBC.

Under questioning, he said again: "I don't know the specifics of this person's case."

Romney spokesman Ryan Williams attacked the honesty of the ad in a written statement Tuesday.

"President Obama's allies continue to use discredited and dishonest attacks in a contemptible effort to conceal the administration's deplorable economic record. After 42 months of unemployment above 8 percent, it is clear that the president and his campaign do not have a rationale for reelection," he said.

Before the GST Steel closure, Romney left Bain in 1999 to work on the 2002 Winter Olympics in Utah. There have been ongoing disputes about his involvement with Bain during that period, since he was still listed as CEO in financial documents, but the campaign has maintained he effectively left the company in 1999.

Further, Soptic's wife died in 2006, according to a Kansas City Star article from the time. This would have been several years after the plant closed down, several years after Romney left Bain and as Romney was finishing his term as Massachusetts governor.


So, never mind the timeline does not even begin to fit the "picture" the Dems paint, just keep throwing crap at the wall and hope the Dem voter remains too stupid to think about it and realize the whole thing is a LIE and total PROPAGANDA.

Four more years of that? I don't think so.

Obama has a sister that lives in Hawaii. They lost their mother together as a family. Maybe she could had lived longer if a doctor had found her cancer earlier. Didn't his mother live over one of the oceans in a third world country with her hate of America?

This from a speech in Colorado today. Pulling out his war on women again.

If you check it out it's really a half sister. Isn't it nice we know all about Obama's family. I'm sure they talk about her all the time in the White House.

Did Obama lie about his mothers health insurance policy again today?

President Obama never apologized for his original lie. He just assumed, rightly it turns out, that even though this whopper was uncovered by the New York Times.

"When you don't have a record to run on, you paint your opponent as someone people need to run from"--Barack Obama


Obama spoke of his single mother who raised him and died of cancer in her 50s, as well as his wife and daughters. He was introduced by Sandra Fluke, the former Georgetown law student who last spring found herself at the center of the debate over birth control coverage and religious freedom. Fluke was called a “slut” by Rush Limbaugh when she spoke out in favor of a new mandate requiring health insurance companies to cover contraception. Limbaugh later apologized.

Medicare just declined my sister a cancer survivor, a test but not because of Obama Care.

Big Insurance did it. Government policy. SPIN.
