Mike Malloy - It's almost tedious, the way Republican candidates lie.

It's almost tedious, the way Republican candidates lie. We've covered the subject repeatedly on this program. They have to lie to win because if they spoke the truth about their agenda, Americans would run to the voting precincts and punch a straight Democratic ticket (unless they were members of the wealthiest 1%, or hopelessly brainwashed Dittoheads).

Mittens is, perhaps, the penultimate example of the suave Neocon liar. Makes you wonder about the Mormon faith and its tenants, if it permits one of it's holiest of holies to deliver such big fat whoppers, with a smile.

Romney’s foreign policy speech on Monday was another example of his tendency to lie on minor stuff as well as weighty issues. For instance, he claimed that President Barack Obama “has not signed one new free trade agreement in the past four years” though Obama secured passage of agreements with South Korea, Colombia and Panama and signed them in October 2011.

Romney apologists suggest that the Republican presidential nominee was hanging his truthiness on the word “new” since negotiations on the agreements began late in George W. Bush’s presidency. But the work was completed by Obama and he pushed the deals through Congress despite resistance from some of his own supporters in labor unions.

So, by any normal use of the English language, Obama had signed new trade agreements, but Romney simply stated the opposite.
