Look at how they've handled Obama's. That'll tell you how well the can handle it.Lurker wrote:Romney's campaign is built almost entirely on lies about Obama and obfuscation about his own policies because he thinks the American people are an idiots.

There's your answer. The Republican party exists only to sell the big lie - if you cannot lie from sunup until sundown, you do not qualify.Torakus wrote:His speech made me wonder why Romney didn't pick John Thune as a running mate. Thune has similar whacky ideas on how to recover the economy, like NOT spending on infrastructure as Romney and he doesn't seem to lie quite so easily as Ryan. I still want to know how the husband of a TAX ATTORNEY forgets about a $1 million+ income earning trust on his financial disclosure.
Well, no, you forgot the other big part.

Agreed on all the above. I suspect Romney's being directed by backroom politics.Torakus wrote:His speech made me wonder why Romney didn't pick John Thune as a running mate.
