LIES, AND THE PEOPLE WHO TELLTHEM.

In this day and age when any public figure or criminal is recorded at the scene of their lie or criminal act, what must people think to continue those behaviors as though they will not be found out.   The habit of campaigners using only a quote from a person's speech and attributing it to the speaker himself is not a fist nor a last trick to be used but now that everyone will hear about it, why would a wise man attempt it.  I presume the strategists know that the negative picture first seen will stay in people's minds the longest.

Either Romney does not pay attention to what he is saying, leaving it all up to his handlers, or he is just a liar who cannot be trusted.   He quoted Obama as saying if we continue to focus on jobs and the economy we will lose.  That was actually said by McCain in the 2008 election campaign and was merely being quoted by Obama.

 One who shoots verbally straight is Elizabeth Warren in the Massachusetts senatorial campaign.  Sher is running against Scott Brown and the polls are currently showing her significantly ahead.  I guess what old P. T. Barnum said  "You can fool some of the people all of the time; you can fool all of the people some of the time, but you can never fool all of the people all of the time" may be true, especially after the teaparty fooled so many the last election.  Joe Walsh apparently had the colossal gall to say that he was n ot going to Washington to e a typical Republican.  Forewarned should have been forewarned, but it apparently wasn't enough.  To hear him: .click here

While not exactly liars, I detest the candidates who are quick to tell you what another candidate is thinking and feeling.  Joe Walsh claims he doesn't want to get re-elected.  However, he said he wouldn't not be like Clinton who wanted to be in office forever.

It is difficult to retain a positive outlook, Mommy,  The world's not a nice place out there.
