Romney, you are pathetic

Disclaimer:  99.9% of political ads are lies, distortions and half truths.  From both parties, from all groups.

With that said, the Romney campaign has taken things to a level almost of the Swift Boat myths of the Bush days.

The claim made in Romney's ads in Ohio, a state Romney is losing in and that has been pummeled by the loss of manufacturing jobs over the past 30 years, are 100% lies.  Lies, not distortions, but flat out lies, refuted by the very companies Romney was lying about.

Jeep is NOT moving jobs from Ohio to China, nor is GM cutting American jobs to move to China.  Both companies are expanding in China, operations COMPLETELY SEPARATE from their North American operations.

Both Fiat, speaking about their Jeep division, and GM have refuted the Romney camp's ads, and beyond ads, things Romney has hinted at in speeches.

Romney, someone who made millions gutting companies and laying off workers, is amazing in his gall.  The man will literally say anything to get elected.  When you are the most accomplished political waffler, that is saying something and what it's saying isn't good.

Now, I'm not saying the Obama campaign is 100% truthful.   I'm sick of political ads and political lies.  But the extreme's Romney is going to is pathetic.  The man is not fit to run the country because as far as I can tell he has no actual beliefs of his own, merely what it takes to get elected to the next office.  

Seriously, look at how his views have changed from his days as governor of Massachusetts.  Its not slight wavering to gain politcal wiggle room, its wholesale changes in a desperate attempt to get elected and its pathetic.

I could handle the old Romney, Governor Romney as President.  This man he's decided to become, its sickening.  Its honestly sad when Obama, someone who accomplished little of his established goals and showed little of his stated beliefs in his first term, comes across as the more honest, principled option.

Ugh.
