1. Romney's past opponents say that he is RUTHLESS with his lies... scorched Earth campaign.

His own campaign people said the other day that 'fact checkers' are NOT going to drive the campaign. In other words, we are going to lie, and we have hundreds of millions of dollars from the sacks of shit like Koch Brothers, to repeat that lie over and over again, like the "Big Lie" tactic. They simply don't give a fuck, and no one has been calling them on it.

And now they're starting to call them on it. Like the bullshit "you didn't build that" which was a Cut and Paste job from a speech. Wasn't even a fucking gaffe. It was edited into a LIE. The Media may be getting fed up with their shit. But the Romney camp remains undeterred in their bald faced lies. They just don't care about the truth.

And today with Ann Romney talking about how "hispanics need to get over their biases" and vote for Romney... it's like they have this bizarro universe and they figure that they have enough money to win, even if it means lying and being disingenuous assholes to do it. The MSM is the only hope of stopping them. We simply will never have enough money or air time to counter their lies, and the Fox news PR arm of the RNC.
