I agree with Mitt Romney. The President will use truth mixed with "stretched truth" to outright fabrications on the numbers and the issues during the October debates. I think this is undoubtedly the situation. The problem is that Romney will most likely do exactly the same. Do you think Romney is 100 percent honest... or will he lie too?

POLITICALTICKER.BLOGS.CNN.COM reports:
With less than three weeks before the first presidential debate, Mitt Romney says he already knows what his biggest hurdle will be in his three October showdowns with President Barack Obama.

It's not just The American Conservative's Daniel Larison who wonders about Willard's continual lies. It you type in " Romney Lies", all sorts of links pop up with instances of Mitt lying about a wide range of topics. The man is a serial liar in need of a psychiatrist's couch. What's funny, is when caught , he either doubles down or flatly says he never said anything like that. He's a nut case.

Not most likely, definitely. He will lie through his teeth and the factcheckers will cast the final vote on that. The man is as hosest as flies are clean. But what amazes me is how soon his whining begins. What a wimp. Besides i think this comment was meant as cover for his upcoming lies saying I am telling the truth Obama is the one lying. Wait for the factcheckers. They will be out in force.

No, for one he's been a straight shooter so far, and for two, he doesn't have to.

Obama has told so many lies he doesn't remember what he's said. He's still lying and projecting blame onto Romney, he never takes responsibility. The lamestream media rewrites what he says and"explains" what Obama "really meant

I firmly believe that Romney will NOT intentionally lie. Almost every fact can be twisted to support the complete opposite so we humans have to use our own brains and look at the general nature of the person and what they've done in the past. Obama has BLANTANTL and knowingly lied to us far too many times.

You are obviously joking, right? What have Mitt and Mutt offered to the American people in terms of actual policy choices during their supposed upcoming reign of terror? ZERO. Obama and Biden are going to crush those clowns in the debates and expose them for the scammers that they really are. Everything Romney has to say, like his recent comments on the Middle East situation, end up making the choice for president easier and easier. Keep up the good work, Mitt! Can't wait to hear you fall flat on your face during the debates. That goes for your boy Ryan, too.

They are going to have factcheckers at the debates. I can't wait to see who lies the most. I'd bet on Romney but it will most likely be close. They are politicians after all.

but you can bet it will be contrived questions foer the most part. An open debate between the two would be interesting but they both work for the Monetary Rulers so congress and local legislations is what people should really put their efferts and focus on

Yes it would but I think the people should have 50% of the questions and the press the other 50%. Then next you could have an open debate for the last 45 minutes but that would lead to nothing more than arguing and if you did have an open debate get factcheckers there because the BS will be flying.

Waterboarding only brings out answers you want them to say not neccessarily the truth.

I guess that depends on how the questions are asked. But it might be interesting to see which one of them could go longer being waterboarded and who ever wins gets to be president

How do you measure torture?
to some sitting in traffic is torture. the presidential warterboarding would not be torture just a contest if it was of free will.

reply
Giantfan to VoteOut 2012/09/16 15:32:58

Waterboarding is torture. If anyone thinks it isn't there is a way to decide.. Find someone who was trained in waterboarding and have them waterboard you. Then you will be positive if it is or isn't torture. Have it done to you over 180 times like KSM was. To sound a little like Fox news "We waterboard, you decide".

VoteOut to Giantfan 2012/09/16 19:49:30 (edited)

Did not say if it was or was not torture. But ther e are also people who have been trained in" being" waterborded and have had competitions on how long they can go. Have tried a bit in the shower just tilt your head back and let the water force up your nose and see how long you can go.

So would you say execution drone strikes of "suspected" terrorist is ok ? Allot of that going on by the Obama admin which is a big part of the discontent happening in the middle east right now.

We are in a war with Al Queda not any one country so being we are still at war with them I believe it is the best way to attack and keep our troops safe and out of harms way. Don't you think? That's one thing I agreed 100% with Bush on, those drone attacks. I just wish he had done more of them.

You call terrorists innocents? And in any war there is collateral damage, innocents die. How many innocents died in WWII? In Viet Nam? In Iraq? Torture is wrong in any way shape or form whether it's done on humans or animals.

VoteOut to Giantfan 2012/09/17 15:27:39 (edited)

not calling terrorist innocent, but when do we call "suspects" guilty. So in comparison it would seem those water boarded got off easy.

So Obama is the judge jury and executioner and you trust him to pick winners and losers? He has shown a bad record of that on domestic issues.
