Why Mittsy? If You Truly Believe You're The Best Man For The Job, Why Lie?

Is it desperation because that bounce he'd been enjoyed a few weeks ago no longer exists? Is it just a clawing need at the pit of his stomach to become president just for the sake of besting his father? Is it his need to be the boss, but then give up mid-way through like he did in Massachusetts and coast his way through the rest of his term? Whatever the reason, the Mittsy campaign has gone all sorts of lying batshit crazy this week.

In one of the battleground states--Ohio--Mittsy stands before his crowds and outright lies that Chrysler is moving Jeep jobs to China.

Chrysler has come out to say that a “careful and unbiased” understanding “would have saved unnecessary fantasies and extravagant comments.”

But then he might not win the election if he told the truth, so lying is best.

When asked to comment on Romney’s claims, the Romney campaign at first refused to comment and then defended the lie with an already debunked Bloomberg article that everyone knows is wrong and the press ain't playing along this time:

• Detroit Free Press: “Not only was the story wrong, Romney took criticism for not knowing better and repeating it without questioning it.”
• Toledo Blade: “‘The latest Romney ad, I will grant you, is a clever play on words to avoid saying things that are utterly false,’ Mr. Rattner said, referring to a new Romney ad out today. But he said the implication of the ad is ‘just not true. Chrysler is adding people. It’s made major investments in the Toledo Wrangler plant.’”
• Huffington Post: “Where the ad goes from misleading to something more nefarious is in the text it shows. At one point, it displays a line from a Bloomberg story stating that Chrysler “plans to return Jeep output to China,” the implication being that the company is moving operations there as opposed to expanding operations that are already there.”
• Wall Street Journal: “So far, the Romney campaign hasn’t issued a public statement on the flap.”

The facts are this: Chrysler is not moving to China, but are, in fact, adding more jobs for Americans in this country: “Chrysler Group announced that it will invest $500 million at the Toledo Assembly Complex (Ohio) for the production of the next generation Jeep® SUV in 2013. As a result, the Company will add a second shift of production or about 1,100 jobs in the third quarter of 2013.”

Hardest hit by the newest Romney lie is the Detroit News, which endorsed Mitt only to find him lying about their area of expertise, the auto industry. When they tried to get a comment for the Romney team on this latest lie, the campaign blew them off and continued to tell the lie. 

This is man the Detroit News endorsed. Now he won’t even talk to them.

This is nothing new for Mittsy, or for many in the GOP. They make their minds up that this is the story and even when offered proof that they are lying, they ignore and continue telling the lie.

Here’s the Romney campaign’s desperate attempt to rewrite “Let Detroit Go Bankrupt” in Ohio:

Right there at the end, "I'm Mitt Romney and I approved this message."

He approved a lie.
