The 2012 election season has shifted from primary politics to the general election. Summer has nearly ended and the Olympics finished. The media will now set their sites on the candidates. General elections generally sours the public as they suffer the endless cycles of attack ads.
Politicians and their campaign managers know that negative ads work. Nobody took President Clinton seriously when he promised to end the politics of personal destruction -- then began destroying the reputation of special prosecutor Kenneth Starr, victim Paula Jones and witnesses Linda Tripp and Monica Lewinsky.
Presidential candidate Mitt Romney accused President Obama of sacrificing the truth for a political victory in 2012. Romney said, "It seems that the first victim of an Obama campaign is the truth. It has been sad and disappointing." Romney said this in response to the attack ads against him claiming that Romney would raise taxes. Romney finished with, "We're going to get this economy going, and Mr. President stop saying something that's not the truth."

REALCLEARPOLITICS.COM reports:
Question: Thank you, Governor. When my son's boss asked why he wanted the day off, he said I get a chance to see Romney and Ryan. He said, 'You mean that guy that wants to raise taxes.' So what are you going to do to combat the lies that the leftists are telling about you?
Romney: Thank you. It seems that the first victim of an Obama campaign is the truth. It has been sad and disappointing. Frankly, you know, when I became the presumptive nominee, the president called me and congratulated me on becoming the presumptive nominee, and said that America deserves an honest debate about the future course of the country, and I agreed.
I'm waiting to hear him begin that, because all we've heard so far is one attack after the other. And frankly they're typically not honest. There may be one in there that is. I keep looking for it, but it's been a disappointment.

The only Promise Obama has kept is the one to Bankrupt the Coal Industry.
His Soul is void of Truth.
Because you hate Romney?
P.S.
Mitt Romney is far from a beacon of truth....
Osama Bin Laden... DEAD!
American Automobile Industry.... ALIVE!
Healthcare Reform.... DONE!
Increased Funding For The Violence Against Women Act.... DONE!
Created Over 4 Million Jobs Against Sworn Republican Obstruction... DONE!
Eliminated subsidies to private lender middlemen of student loans and protect student borrowers.... DONE!
Significantly expanded Pell grants, which help low-income students pay for college... DONE!
This is just a very short list that could go on. But Romney have no code and no core, who does like such a person especially for the nation's (and frankly the world's) highest office? No one. Many conservatives don't like Romney because of this. You know as well as I do, Romney will get much more of the "hate Obama" vote than he will the "love Romney" vote.
He promised not to have an individual mandate in his "health care" and what he did do? He added an individual mandate.
http://www.politifact.com/per...
He said the U.S. government spends less on energy innovation "than the pet food industry invests in its own products." LIE
Health reform will "give every American the same opportunity" to buy health insurance the way members of Congress do. LIE
Preventive care "saves money." LIE
Health insurance companies are "making record profits, right now." LIE
Says Mitt Romney would deny gay people the right to adopt children. LIE
Oh, and GM is losing sales and now making crappy products. So much for saving the auto industry.
The very first one on the list in your link is a LIE!
As for Romney's lies, you either don't know what you're talking about or you're as big of a liar as he is. (I'd say both)
And the last thing you said is a LIE! It's really pathetic that your hatred of one man would lead to you wanting this entire nation to falter just so he can't claim a political or economic success. Very sad indeed.
Poltifact has never been caught in a lie and they told the truth. Yeah that link you posted is the article and I doubt they would prove themselves wrong.
Yeah, I meant the US sales are going down. About 75% sales are in foreign countries.
It's pathetic that you are so uninformed on what Obama has done. Very sad indeed.
Obama has lied more than Romney. Romney lied more? NO F*CKING WAY! Why do think half the country hates him? Because he has many failures and constantly lies about them. Obama doesn't care. A president is supposed to meet with congress to discuss budgets and things like that but if you bothered to look it up Obama has a lack of interest in doing so. He's been to busy playing golf and having more fundraisers than any president in history. Of course people like yourself the 'Obamazombies" who've loved him and are blind to his lies and failures will always be uninformed.
Whether you agree or not, I have said the truth.
The hypothetical: Obama murdered 30,000 and Romney murdered 20,000. I think I'd better vote for Romney.
Somehow I think a country that votes for one person because he is not as bad as the other is just setting themselves up to be destroyed by such a system.
Actually, the main reason I don't for Ron is...well, I don't really want to tell you what it is.
Oh, and Proggy, the reason I blocked you was because you were going to call me that. There is no point in arguing with someone that is going to constantly insult you.
How about Not At All ?!
However, I think Obama exposed national security secrets (SEAL Team 6/Osama) for his political gain.
