Puke: Romney slams Obama over Medicare, pledges more help for 'poor' and 'sick'

[cali]

Mitt Romney attacked President Barack Obama Saturday over the future of Medicare in his first weekly podcast ahead of the November election.

In the address posted on his website, the GOP's presidential candidate said Obama’s healthcare law had taken $716 billion from the fund to finance “his takeover of the healthcare system.”

“Now if that wasn’t bad enough, his healthcare law also put in place a board of 15 unelected bureaucrats and gave them the power to make additional cuts to Medicare without even having to get approval from Congress,” he said.

“This means they could deny elderly Americans the care they’ve worked for their entire lives -- all because President Obama trusts bureaucrats more than he trusts seniors and their doctors,” he said.

I don't think Romney's a compulsive liar anymore.

Here's the definition of a compulsive liar:

Jump to: navigation, search

Pseudologia fantastica, mythomania, or pathological lying are three of several terms applied by psychiatrists to the behavior of habitual or compulsive lying.[1][2] It was first described in the medical literature in 1891 by Anton Delbrueck.[2] Although it is a controversial topic,[2] pathological lying has been defined as "falsification entirely disproportionate to any discernible end in view, may be extensive and very complicated, and may manifest over a period of years or even a lifetime".[1]

Romney lies with chilling purpose.

1. Usually someone who can help themselves stop lying doesn't say one thing in front of a camera

...then go say something else in less than a day in front of other cameras like the first set doesn't have a rewind button.


rMoney is a mental case level liar, I've never see someone flip flop in a day...not nueance but flip flop on a subject so fast as if he wouldn't be called into account

2. Romney isn't lying - he WOULD help "poor and sick"

They'd be "dead and buried" instead. See, no more poor and sick.

3. Please, this guy will literally say anything to get elected.

[Tennessee Gal]

4. Nothing in his record indicates he will do anything to help anyone except those

who are already filthy rich.

The Party that has opposed every law or policy aimed at helping the less fortunate among us is hardly the Party that will do a thing to improve those laws and policies. That is just common sense.

5. lies

The ease with which Romney repeats proven lies is disgusting. Saying that Obamacare is a "takeover of the healthcare system" or that the 15 members of the IPAB have the "power to make additional cuts to Medicare without even having to get approval from Congress" just shows that Romney has absolutely no ethics, no moral core, and proves he is willing to say or do anything to get elected. I wonder if the Mormon church has confessions so that he can feel absolved of any wrong-doing.

7. Rmoney's help can best be summed up in two words:

Soylent Green

9. I guess Obama is no longer the socialist re-distributor of wealth, now he's a cutthroat

budget-slasher. None of this will stick, of course. Democrats hold the advantage in being seen as the protectors of Medicare and SS, nothing Mittens can say will change that significantly.
