Romney caught lying (again).

This thread, for the most part, reads like a hate-in. From what I have read on other threads, Mitt did fine. A Fred supporter wouldn’t ever say that though.
But that is okay......If I am not mistaken, Mormons can lie to Gentiles (any non-Mormon, even Jews) if the lying benefits the Mormons....
I think perhaps you're mistaken. I've never heard that and can't believe it without some kind of documentation.
He's made it well known that he wants to limit the kinds of guns people have -- no waffling, whether or not we like his position. He has also let it be known that he is not for gay marriage and is against illegal immigration and amnesty.
Obfuscation is the way of those who campaign against Republicans. I don't suggest that FReepers join those who do.
regardless of what you think of Romney, I thought Russert’s question about why the Mormons did not integrate (allow Black ministers) until about 1978 revealed the total hypocricy of the MSM. When Jimmy Carter ran for president in 1976, not a single MSM reporter/interviewer asked the Great Christian Jimbo Carter why is very own church had no black members!
You have Hillary’s bitch Randi Rhodes of ErrAmerica challenging Oprah on her faking her blackness, and not a word from the MSM.
Too bad the black voter doesn’t wake up to the fact that the Liberals want to keep all of them on the plantation.
When the time comes to vote, I'll be voting for the candidate of my choice. It won't be romney

I have a specific refernce in mind, I'll try to find it.
Michelle Malkin has linked to this thread.
She calls his interview this morning worrisome.
Thanks for the heads up greyfox.
“Romney caught lying (again).”
He also lied when he said that he “thinks” that it is illegal for homeowners to require ID of workers that show up at their homes.
“Did anyone actually watch the video?? I thought Mitt handled himself very well and his answers were right to the point. In fact, even Politico stated that he made no major blunders.”
When you straddle a picket fence, there really isn’t a lot of room to make overt blunders. It’s the straddle that kills you.
Yeah. I’d like to know, too.
At our age who'd notice?
TruthFactor, your tag line reads, “The Death of Nations... pornography, homosexuality, abortion.”
Yet you promote a candidate who was publicly chastised by the Salt Lake daily owned by his own church for personally profiting from the sale of a quarter-billion dollars’ worth of X-rated movies while serving on the board of Marriott, and saying and doing nothing to discourage such sales.
Who endorsed almost every element of homosexual activists’ political agenda and was twice endorsed by the homosexual Log Cabin Republicans. Who opposed a Marriage Protection Amendment to his own state constitution.
Who insistently promoted and defended “a woman’s right to to choose” to pay an abortionist to terminate the life of her prenatal child.
Please explain why we should take your tagline seriously.
BIG OL FREEPER: “Come now, he is against pornography...I think.”
The Deseret News, Salt Lake City (owned by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints), July 10, 2007: “Pornography taints everything it touches. Mitt Romney should have understood that. So should the Marriott Corporation and other hotel owners who offer hard-core movies in hotel rooms. Romney caught a bit of flack last week because he spent nearly 10 years on the Marriott board and yet never tried to reverse the company’s policy of providing pornography on demand, something J.W. ‘Bill’ Marriott Jr., defended in a 2000 letter as being economically important. ...For a presidential candidate who has railed against pornography, this is not entirely insignificant. Even if the subject never came up at a board meeting, one can argue that at least part of the $25,000 plus stock he was paid annually for his board membership came from the money some hotel guests paid for access to the films.”

J.W. “Bill” Marriott, CEO, Marriott Corporation, and Area Seventy, Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (June 2000): “The in-room entertainment operators who provide our systems rely upon a certain volume of movie types in order to be economically viable. If we were to eliminate the ‘R’ and non-rated offerings, the systems would not be economic.”

Former Marriott board member Mitt Romney on pornography (May 2007): “Pornography and violence poison our music and movies and TV and video games. The Virginia Tech shooter, like the Columbine shooters before him, had drunk from this cesspool.”
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/07/05/AR2007070501305.html
Former Marriott board member Mitt Romney on pornography (July 2007): “I am not pursuing an effort to try and stop adults from being able to acquire or see things that I find objectionable; that’s their right.”
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/07/05/AR2007070501305.html
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (official web site): “Members of the Church should avoid pornography in any form and should oppose its production, distribution, and use.”
(Click on “P” then select “pornography”)
Petronski: “Of all the reasons to oppose Slick Willard, (Marriott porn)’s a weak one.”
Among Romney’s own cultural base, it’s not.
Name me one single other issue on which Romney has been publicly criticized by the daily Salt Lake City newspaper owned by his own church.
From Fred’s website:

From WBUR Radio, Boston (audio):

668: “Well I wouldn’t call Romney a pathological liar. But he’s just as good as one. Watching him on MTP, I’d swear he could have passed a lie detector test.”
Yeah, no matter which side of an issue he took.
Psycho-analyze this quote from Mitt:
“I never CALLED myself pro-choice. I never allowed myself to use the WORD ‘pro-choice,’ because I didn’t FEEL I was pro-choice. I would protect the law, I said, as it was, but I WASN’T pro-choice.” (Fox News Sunday, August 12, 2007)
The Great Prevaricator word-tricks even himself.
