When the Conservative right ran ads based on truth about opposing political candidates – about Willie Horton, for example— the Leftist media called it sleazy and unfair. But as we are seeing this year, vicious and utterly untrue and malicious ads from the Left are only properly rebuked by recognized media fact-checkers and occasionally by honest cable networks like Fox and C-SPAN. The so-called establishment media has proven itself to be a hypocritical institution run by radicals and staffed by left leaning liberals. The level of hypocrisy keeps growing – and as it does, it encourages the Left to be ever more brazen in its soul-less assassinations of character and gutting of human decency.
Consider a few occurrences from the last several weeks alone. Democratic spokeswoman Stephanie Cutter suggested in so many words that Mitt Romney is a “felon”. Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi, while pandering to the base, called Republicans the “E.coli caucus”. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, making sure to say it in the well of the Senate to avoid prosecution, defamed Mitt Romney by accusing him of not paying taxes for ten years. Both Pelosi and Democratic National Committee Chair Debbie Wasserman-Schultz spoke up in Reid’s support, neither of whom have released any of their tax returns. The Obama campaign consistently has blamed Romney for the closure of a steel plant that Romney’s Bain Capital firm had invested in, even though the plant closed because of poor management decisions with labor amidst a nationwide gut of the steel market from 1997 through 2001. Romney had already left Bain two years earlier. Without Bain’s infusion of cash, the plant would have been forced to close years before. In short, Bain saved hundreds of jobs for another five or six years. Where are the people whose jobs were saved? Did they all fade into the woodwork so they can’t refute what Obama is saying? Why haven’t any of them stepped forward? It’s a good question, but it doesn’t have an answer yet.
Speaking of people whose job was saved, Priorities USA, the SuperPAC run by longtime Obama aide Bill Burton, has circulated an ad blaming Romney for the cancer death of the wife of a worker at the steel plant, who didn’t lose his job until 2007. Supposedly, she died because she lost health insurance when he lost his job. It was never mentioned that she kept her insurance through her job at a printing outfit for several years. The facts show that she kept the insurance for two more years and wasn’t even diagnosed with cancer for three more years after leaving her job. This made it five years after the plant’s closure and seven years after Romney left Bain. Where is the clamor for honesty in advertising as there was when the Conservatives touted Obama’s incompetent handling of the economy? How dare they say that unemployment has been over 8% since Obama took office and that if you counted the people who have given up or have taken 2 or 3 part-time jobs, the unemployment rate would be 14%!
Even some of the liberal media have had to address the atrocity in Obama’s ad. Prodded by Fox News and other fair and balanced publications, ABC and some other liberal-leaning networks have described the ads as being “over the top”, but hardly with the level of outrage that greeted the Willie Horton ads in 1988. The Washington Post described it as “unsupportable at best”. And then when Romney’s campaign was given a chance to comment on the ad, Romney’s spokesperson did not take advantage of the Obama catastrophe. Instead of telling the commentator how hideous it was to suggest such a thing, she said something inconsequential about “Universal Healthcare” being the solution. What she said had nothing to do with the issue at hand. Even though they know it was not true, many in the media, especially the Washington Post, pounced on the one snippet suggesting that Romney was promising to roll back government protections for families like theirs. Whatever you think, it’s up to you to do proper research to find out exactly what the Romney – Ryan plan actually suggests.
Conservatives might have a good point if they called the full array of leftist/Obama/Democratic campaign tactics against Mitt Romney the sleaziest campaign in history. They can show that during this election cycle, anything coming out of Chicago has had the premeditated purpose of smearing Obama’s opponent(s). They can also show how men of vision rise above the depths of crassness exhibited by the other side and show by example what it means to be dedicated, determined, compassionate, and God-loving men of the people.

I believe that most intelligent people already know that Obama is a criminal, however, it is important to know that Romney and the GOP are also participating in criminal activities. Romney’s campaign and the GOP are resorting to lawlessness in order to illegally nominate Romney: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OzuSDqam5T4&list=UU1h3bqESVdqkwm123Ce4ZmA
Romney and Obama’s biggest donors are the one world government bankers, Goldman Sachs, which is why Romney may be set to propose a one world government platfrom at the RNC that includes a Palestinian state: http://www.timesofisrael.com/gop-platform-to-back-two-states/
You are so full of lies and you make things up as you go along….how can you even think that as a resonabile human being you are believe that Romney is participating….you hear lies from the obama camp and then you make up a lot of garbage…You are so have no proof of any thing, you whtch—things and surmise….you aren’t a gypsy telling the future, but you are making up things that you want the libbers to believe….In the tapes you mentioned illegal….on Romney’s nomination….what is there illegal about any of this? You are a marxist ranter and if this country is what you want destroyed you are surely making a strong effort and not knowing what you are talking about….. obama is a white hater (Rev Wright’s church for over 20 years and, why hasn’t obama aka Barry Soetoro released his sealed public records….You quote things and nothing is proven, you are a pelosi/reid/bidenk supporter and stupid to boot…
Cleo, and you think this illegal Keyan, born in Mombassa, is legal? LOL
HEY…………..BOTTOM LINE DO YOU WANT ROMNEY WHO IS AT LEAST A PATRIOT…………….OR OVOMIT WHO IS A RABID MAD DOG, WHO WILL DO AND SAY ANYTHING TO STAY IN POWER???? WHICH IS IT????????????????????
I for sure don’t want ODUMBO and his criminal minions like HOLDER, CLINTON, AXELROD, CUTTER, ETC. They all can go straight to hell bypassing the purgatory!!!
The Chief executive Officer an elected official is a criminal..but you make this about Romney? What planet do you come from?

Paul Ryan voted to cede the power of the Senate to Obama: http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2012/roll537.xml
Obama and Romney both work for Goldman Sachs bankers who are ceding U.S. sovereignty to the U.N. For example, we can see that Romney and Ryan govern in much the same way as Obama does. That’s because they are both owned by the same one world government bankers:

He is nothing but sleazy to start with so what can we expect of him besides SLANDERING his opponent
Obama with his sealed public records shows that he is the indeed the crapper and the libbers are indeed the crappers scoopers, this being said, they have nothing to run on and you know that the Chicago thuggers, and the people obama hung around before he came to DC shows that he has no class and no experience at any thing except lying and stealing the America peoples money and giving it away. This is just the start of things and the people that call Romney with his morals and his values and because with a business venture, you can’t always make every one happy, especially the ones that don’t want to work but want to get paid. Obama and his no common sense people have shills all over the internet blasting conservatives with just calling racist when you criticize that the pres has done nothing but give our jobs away and they accuse Romney of not paying taxes and the IRS with obama at the backing is on the IRS daily with his jealous rantings of Romney not paying taxes and obama is the one with lack of any leadership and no experience except three government jobs…He will at any time destroy our country and the libbers are playing with fire to help him. He is an evil man that has sealed his Barry Soetoro public files and will do any thing to win and has shown his lack of any morals and values in the killing of 300 Mexicans and a border agent and with obama not letting the military speak at any religious function as long as they are associated with the military and the Muslims are attacking us at every chance and it will get worse, if the libs don’t realize what a awful man and is hiding behind the senile members he hangs around…
Romney and Obama work for the same global bankers who are ceding U.S. sovereignty to the U.N. Goldman Sachs. Romney is just as devious as Obama.

Obama to Palestinians: Delay statehood until election over

Obama and Romney work for the same people who are ceding U.S. sovereignty to the one world government.
The American people need to wake up and realize that obozo and his Soras-controlled media were trained to lie. Lying is their pastime and they are the epitome of liars. These reporters go to a school of satan and learn how to lie, lie and lie some more. If the American people don’t know that by now, then they are what the enemy calls them when the enemy says, “We control the stupid Americans.” In Nov. of 2012, the American people should vote obozo and his allies out of office to prove that they are not the “stupid Americans.”
Sleeze is the only way Obummer and HIS administration thinks they can WIN…I say let them talk all they want to…they bury themselves deeper everytime they open their mouths…WE THE PEOPLE are much smarter than what the demorats give us credit for…don’t spend a lot of time responding to the negagtive comments…not worth your time…WE THE PEOPLE stay focused on WHAT WE need to do on the 6th of Nov…God Bless The USA…
Romney admitted that he approves of Obama’s desire to indefinitely detain Americans without trial. Romney approves of UNCONSTITUTIONAL LEGISLATION:
