Romney’s 917 Lies Over 41 Weeks

[Updated Fri 02 Nov 2012 8:50 PM EDT]
Steve Benen has been chronicling Mitt Romney’s lies over the course of 2012. With the election only a few days away it seemed appropriate to tally up all the articles to see what the final count is. Turns out that Mitt Romney has told 917 lies over the past 41 weeks. Keep in mind that these are not assertions, interpretations, or allegations. All of the posts are backed up and sourced with facts and actual instances.

...a little more than 3 lies a day. That sounds a little light unless he counted the same oft repeated lie as only 1.

PEACE!

I mean- most religions have some kind of fundamental law or precept around lying. Do the mormons simply look the other way?

What sort of message would it send to elect a liar to the Presidency? I am trying to teach my children the value of honesty and it is not going to help when over 900 lies wins you the most powerful leadership position in the world. I am going to spend some time this weekend making calls for our President. I would hope some of you can do the same if you have the time.

I knew the dude was pathological but damn, I'm impressed...which is why I pretty much facepalm when someone says they can trust Romney more than Obama The fact that the prez isn't 20 points ahead in the polls just boggles the mind...
