Mitt Romney 'A Salesman And Bullshit Artist Of The Highest Order'
Mitt Romney is lying to everyone and it may just win him the election, according to Matt Taibbi.
"He's just casting off from his moorings and being what he basically is at heart, which is a salesman and bullshit artist of the highest order," the Rolling Stone contributing editor wrote of Romney in a blog post Friday.
"He's run all fall on completely made-up, mathematically-incoherent jobs and tax plans... and the presidency is in sight," Taibbi continued.
Romney and his running-mate Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) have lied more often than President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden during the campaign, according to a new analysis of Politifact rulings by Eclecta Blog. The blog also found that Romney has said 59 percent of all "Pants on Fire" lies made by the four candidates, according to Politifact.
Many of those lies may be related to the misrepresentation of his tax plan. According to the Tax Policy Center, Romney's tax plan would dramatically cut taxes for wealthy households, lower taxes slightly for the middle class and raise taxes on the poor, while increasing the deficit by $5 trillion. Romney has denied this is what his tax plan would do.
Despite Romney's insistence, the Tax Policy Center has found that Romney's tax plan would cut taxes for the rich, and that it would be mathematically impossible for Romney's tax plan to not increase the deficit, as Romney has promised, without raising taxes on the middle class.

You voted for the draft avoider, salesman and B.S. artist of the highest order when you voted for Bill Clinton twice, so why do you have scruples now?
And Obama didn't have to worry about the draft because he is a foreign national!!! ( :rofl kidding!)
Thomas Sowell: There are no solutions, just trade-offs.
You mean the Bill Clinton that used the same deferments that kept Cheney out of it?... (And we won't talk about Bush's records conveniently disappearing while he was off campaigning when he was supposed to be pulling NG service...I think they call that "desertion.")
You mean the Clinton that left the budget with $127billion surplus, and 23.1 million jobs? THAT Clinton?...Why yes... I did vote for him...twice... (He didn't have an (R) after his name.)
