Did Romney jump the shark yet? [View all]

Because with this latest reversal on the 47% after he doubled down on the comment just last week, and then with the torrent of lies in the debate, he appears that he is trying to prove that he believes that honesty is of no value in politics and that in the post-modern America he can get away with saying anything.

I mean Reagan, the man who he is trying to emulate (he was copying his intonations last night), misspoke frequently, but Reagan seemed to believe the nonsense he spouted, like trees were a major source of pollution etc. It's clear that Romney knows he is lying and fully expects to get away with it.
