Chronicling Mitt's Mendacity, Vol. XV

After winning several more presidential primaries this week, Mitt Romney delivered a speech his campaign billed as the unofficial kickoff of the general election. And while making his pitch as the presumptive Republican nominee, the former governor said President Obama intends to "run a campaign of ... distortions."

I very nearly fell out of my chair. After watching Romney closely for years, I've never seen any candidate in either party run a campaign of distortions as shamelessly as this guy, and this claim seemed to take the "I'm rubber, you're glue" tactic to new levels.

1. Romney argued in Pennsylvania earlier this week that President Obama has "apologized for America."

The fact that Romney continues to repeat this lie every day is pretty depressing.

I like this weekly series, it's good to keep up on Willard's lies.

It is gobsmacking to read the literal laundry list of lies Romney puts out every week. And there are 15 editions of this so far!

I don't think I've ever seen a candidate project his true self onto his opponent as much as Romney does.

And I don't think I've ever seen a politician lie as much as Romney does. I mean, all politicians lie or stretch the truth at least every now and then, sometimes on purpose and sometimes by mistake, but Romney actually goes out of his way to lie and then repeats his lies even after he's been called out on them. He's worse than Sarah Palin, a feat I once thought impossible.
