Romney's strong suit


a professional closer has to be a pathological liar to succeed!

Tell the truth, misleadingly. The hardest lies to catch are those which aren't actually lies. You're telling the truth, but in a way that leaves a false impression. Technically, it's only a prevarication - about half a sin. A 1990 study of pathological liars in New York City found that those who could avoid follow-up questions were significantly more successful at their deceptions

27 lies out of 38 points =and no follow ups!
yup he's a pro!
gotta feel sorry for those employees that Bain raided their pension funds borrowed millions and bankrupted their future!

As I've posted before, Romney lies about half the time. Now if he told the truth all the time or lied all the time he would be the perfect information machine (by flipping the lies you would have truths). By making his lies a random 50% he relays NO information at all. He is the perfect non-information machine. I.e. Rmoney = Noise. (At least from an informational theory point of view.)
