The Rummy Fact Checker

The most frequent mispronunciation of Mitt Rmomney's surname is "Rummy." The mispronunciation is fitting because Mr. Romney has to be drunk on his butt if he acutually believes the American people are going to swallow what he and his party are serving up. Mr. Romney and his surrogates boldly assert that all major news organizations have a liberal bias. Now that the polls show Mr. Romney losing he and his surrogates are saying that all of the pollsters, including the ones working for right wing mouthpeices such as Fox News, also have a liberal bias. According to Mr. Romney the only one we can trust to tell us the truth is Mitt Romney. This frothy brew of paranoia is one of the two products Mr. Romney is consistently peddling. The other product he consistently peddles is the failed theory of trickle down economics. The problem for Mr. Romney is that anyone with more than a beer soaked peanut for a brain will ask some simple questions: Who is more likley to be telling us the truth; is it the man who says he is the only one we can trust or is it the man man who encourages us to consult independant sources to verify the veracity of the statements being made? In logic what Mr. Romney is doing is called poisoning the well.

Ah, but never fear, Republicans! Mitt Romney says he has an advantage over Mr. Obama in the debates becaus Mr. Obama does not tell the truth. To prove his point Mr. Romney is going to take his magic mirror to the debates. He is going to show us that the image in the mirror, the image Mr. Romney is always fighting, is not merely a projection or reflection of him self. No sir, that image is Mr. Obama and the very essence of everything Mr. Romney opposes. But not so fast. "Everything" might be overstating it. There might be something about the image, some feature that people like. Being a reasonable man, Mr. Romney is always willing to make an exception for the right audience. After all, he can and usually does withdraw those exceptions for the sake of consistency. One must be consistent, you know. And what are you going to believe, your cheating eyes and memory or Mitt Romney.
