CALL LIES WHAT THEY ARE: LIES
Willard and Little Paulie intend to lie their faces off every day between now and Election Day. The media have to guts it up and call them on it, loudly and clearly. R and R's policies are horrifying and their campaign despicable. Only concerted demands for the truth can stop them.
Because Romney and Ryan can't stand exposure to the light of day.
The only people who call Mitt are liar are two members of his own party -- Gingrich and Joe Scarborough. The American press is gutless.
ReplyDeleteLiar does not go far enough to define Mitten and Paulie. They need to add bald faced, shameless, compulsive and pathological.
