@bkcunningham Nice try, but it’s still you who are twisting things. Whether a 2:54 minute clip or a hald hour speech, you have continued to ignore the context and focus only on 12 seconds, claiming that the entire meaning of the speech was contained therein. Anyone who listens to it and isn’t a partisan hack will realize that is not true. Romney continuing to claim it is true is called lying. He did the same with the Obama speech from 2008 when Romney claimed Obama said, “If we keep talking about the economy, we’re going to lose.” In that lie, he left out the rest of the sentence, which was actually “Sen. McCain’s campaign actually said, and I quote, ‘If we keep talking about the economy, we’re going to lose.’”
Even after being exposed for pants on fire, Romney still is running that lie. His life is built on lies about his time at Bain Capital, where he actually lived with he ran for Governor of Massachusetts, his taxes, his offshoring efforts, etc. And his advertising clearly shows the character fault. Even when exposed, he double’s down on the lies.
I know that lots of politicians stretch the truth and use spin. But when one bases his whole appeal on Big Lie strategy, watch out. He’s up to something that he knows would make his winning impossible, and that’s why it must constantly be covered by lies.
@Dutchess_III I cannot find any video of the full speech, nor can I find anywhere that @bkcunningham posted such a link. I chose to post the clip that was just under 3 minutes because of was the fullest video clip I could find, and it supplied the full context of the President’s remarks that were being mischaracterized by the right. Here is the written transcript. It shows clearly Romney is editing the comments to reverse their meaning.
