The Republican party must own a magnificent super computer, because nothing less could enable them to keep track of all the lies they are telling.  With the election only ten days away, the barrage of lies is thicker than ever, and nowhere is there a more prolific liar than Willard Romney, who will say anything to get elected.<\/font><\/p>\n

\"27jeep\"Mitt Romney, attempting to bolster his case to Ohio voters, misinterpreted a story and passed on an outright lie at a rally in the swing state yesterday. Reacting to a Bloomberg News story about auto manufacturer Chrysler\u2019s plans to open a plant in China, Romney said at a rally in Defiance, Ohio that the company was \u201cthinking of moving all production to China<\/a><\/font>,\u201d and that he would prevent such action by fighting for \u201cevery good job in America\u201d:<\/font><\/p>\n

\u201cI saw a story today that one of the great manufacturers in this state, Jeep \u2014 now owned by the Italians \u2014 is thinking of moving all production to China<\/strong><\/span>,\u201d Romney said at a rally in Defiance, Ohio, home to a General Motors powertrain plant. \u201cI will fight for every good job in America. I\u2019m going to fight to make sure trade is fair, and if it\u2019s fair America will win.\u201d<\/font><\/p>\n

The Bloomberg News story, however, doesn\u2019t say that Chrysler plans to move \u201call production to China.\u201d Instead, it says that Fiat, which now owns Chrysler, is planning to open Chinese factories where it will make one of its most popular lines, Jeep, for Chinese consumers. Chrysler isn\u2019t planning to shift production away from the United States<\/a><\/font>. Instead, it will add factories in China to keep up with the nation\u2019s growing demand for automobiles\u2026 [emphasis original<\/em><\/span>]<\/font><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

That was a mind-boggling list of lies, but I does not stop with Romney himself. Lying is endemic to the Republican Party spokespeople, such as Romney’s campaign co-chair.<\/font><\/p>\n

\"27Sununu\"A day after former Secretary of State Colin Powell said he supported Barack Obama based on health care and foreign policy, a top Mitt Romney surrogate floated a different theory. Campaign co-chair and former New Hampshire Gov. John Sununu said Powell likely endorsed the president because they are both black<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Appearing on CNN, Sununu said he applauded the retired general, but then added: \u201cFrankly, when you take a look at Colin Powell, you have to wonder if that’s an endorsement based on issues, or whether he’s got a slightly different reason for preferring President Obama.\u201d In case that was unclear, he then specified that he was referring to the men\u2019s race… [emphasis added<\/em>]<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Powell gave specifics as to why he is supporting Obama, but Sununu chose to ignore all that, to play the race card for the KKK<\/strike> GOP. Wilkerson was right that the Republican Party is full of racists, but he was wrong about one thing. We do know where Lord Willard stands. He stands with the 1% against America.<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
