If the Romney/Ryan plan is so desirable, why do they have to lie...

Bob Franken was right. This is the question to throw back to them. If their records are so wonderful and their proposals so worthwhile...why do they have to lie?

Lying is their Achilles heel. Why should these people be believed at all and entrusted with governance when they cannot tell the truth about even small things?

If things were going that well for them, they wouldn't take the risk of lying even when called out on it, attacking and disrespecting the president so directly and openly, hiding their stated agenda under a torrent of empty platitudes, and ceding their prime-time biography and intro for a wild pitch with a big movie star.

When everything else fails, and you know there's nothing left, you throw these kinds of hail mary passes.

Lying is the last refuge of a scoundrel. I think they're desperate.

I hope.
