I didn’t read those threads because I thought Willard had not used the word “endorsement.”

Now I find out he DID use the word endorsement?

Do you have a link to your second quote?

That was from last Sunday's morning interview.
If memory serves it was shortly after the first quote.

Let me refresh your memory. Here's a post from you to "one of those threads". First, the thread (which also will give you the link to the quote):

False claim that Romney said NRA endorsed him:

Maybe it was the pressure of the moment. Being under the Tim Russert spotlight can get to anyone. Under Russert's grilling about guns on this morning's "Meet the Press," former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney claimed an endorsement he'd never won.

....snip.....

"I just talked about, about guns. I told you what my position was, and what I, what I did as governor; the fact that I received the endorsement of the NRA."

The problem?

He was never endorsed by the NRA, and didn't have their official support during his 2002 gubernatorial campaign. The NRA declined to endorse in that race, as was acknowledged by Romney's spokesman this morning.

As you can see, not a very long post, certainly anybody responding to it would have read the entire post, even if they didn't bother to go read the ARTICLE before responding, as is customary.

Well, look who responded. That would be you, in Post 68, by Petronski:

Ah, Slick Willard, the gift that keeps on giving.

Of course, this WAS 4 whole days ago.

I post this to illustrate an important point. You don't even remember READING the quote from 12/16, even though you OBVIOUSLY read it because you RESPONDED to it.

But you expect other people to perfectly remember things from 12 or 40 YEARS ago. And if they make the smallest error, you call them liars and ridicule them.

Note how I'm not calling you a liar, even though you posted I didn't read those threads because I thought Willard had not used the word "endorsement", and here is an example from just 4 days ago when a thread showed him using the word endorsement and you responded by calling him names.

I mean, claiming you didn't read something you obviously read, and claiming you didn't know something you obviously responded to, that could be pretty damning evidence.

People's memories are not perfect -- (obviously yours needs a major overhaul here :-})

Tying a string around your finger can help. Some people take Ritalin, it may help you remember what you did 4 days ago, there are also natural substances and vitamins you can take that some people say do a great job improving memory.

I sympathize with you, I used to have a near-photographic memory, but now I sometimes can't remember what I just got out of my chair to go get. Getting old sucks sometimes.

If you go to that thread, you'll find THIS link to the transcript, at post 63:
