The Republican Convention, a Haven for Liars.

[Abel Malcolm]

This Republican Convention is such a scam. I've never seen so many liars under one roof, making so much noise and spouting so much nonesense, on a continuous basis. Let's face it, truth of the matter is that Mitt Romney represents nothing less than what George W Bush himself represented, on steroids. This is what it's all about, this is the absolute truth, and they don't want you to see it, that's why George Bush will never be shown at the Convention, so that the American people don't see and don't get reminded about what Mitt Romney is really all about. Mitt Romney represents more of the same type of policies that created the Great Recession, that is, the policy of helping the rich get richer, at every one else's expense, aka "Romney Hood".

Republican Gov. Chris Christie boasts of his supposed financial acumen, except that his policy of tax cuts for the rich has not really improved New Jersey's economy, and the unemployment rate there has actually risen since he became Governor.

Republicans keep talking about telling the truth, but they constantly lie about what they really want to do to the poor and the Middle Class, for example, when it comes to Medicare and Medicaid, under the guise of a voucher plan, they just want to get rid of it, plain and simple. That's the truth.

Their "We built it" slogan is based on a remark made by President Obama that was blatantly and completely taken out of context, in which Obama made the obvious point that all businesses rely to some extent on the work and services of government.

And then Republican Gov. John Kasich of Ohio kept taking credit for the booming economy in his state, except that it was him and the Republicans and Mr. Romney himself who opposed the auto bailout that is the main reason for Ohio's economic recovery.

So, if you want to see the Great Recession, which the Republicans created, turn into the Great Depression, once again, then go ahead and vote for these liars.
