IF TRUTH BE TOLD.......

ACTUALLY......Mitt Romney's carousel horse has stopped on a new location this morning, 10/11/2012. He's kinda' backing up on his statement to the Des Moines Register on Tuesday.  Now he says "he remains opposed to abortion and would take action if elected president to reduce the number that are performed in this country and around the world".   Around the world?  Does his Mormon faith give him some Godly powers we're not aware of?  The Los Angeles Times reported  Romney said "the actions I'll take immediately are to remove funding for Planned Parenthood.  It will not be part of my budget".  He also said I'll reverse, by executive order, the Mexico City position of the president.  I will reinstate the Mexico City policy", which does not allow American tax dollars to fund abortions overseas. 

News Flash here!   I've just read that a  "provision known as the Helms Amendment already bans foreign aid from being spent on abortion care.  The Mexico City policy would deny funds for voluntary family planning services to any organization that uses non-U.S. money to provide, refer for, or advocate abortion."   I know you're busy Mitt, but you need to do your homework!


Romney states he is for some exceptions to a ban on all abortions, but the policies he supports preclude any such exceptions.  He once said that he would be "delighted" to sign a ban banning all abortions.  The Planned Parenthood President said today "There's no way for Romney to hide from the positions he's taken repeatedly over the years".

Mitt Romney is so wishy-washy, he can't even stand up for what he says from day to day.  How in the hell does he think there is any way that he could perform Presidential duties?  Besides being dishonest, he is deceitful, unfair, and manipulative. 

THIS IS A MAN WHO IS A MIXTURE OF INSINCERITY AND UNTRUTHS

MITT AGAINST THE FACT-CHECKERS

ACTUALLY....... I really think that this Presidential campaign is causing too much stress for Romney.  He is acting goofier than usual, by making claims that are proven to be false. Here's what is causing him to lose his cool.

"At the request of several states, including 2 with Republican governors, the Obama administration announced in July that it would consider waiving certain federal welfare rules if the states have ideas for 'demonstration projects' they promise can increase welfare employment outcomes by 20% (states are required to maintain percentages of welfare beneficiaries in work activities or else face penalties).   The administration has not announced that it has issued any waivers."  A Mitt Romney TV ad claims the president has adopted "a plan to gut welfare reform by dropping work requirements".  That's completely false-work requirements are not being dropped.   States may now change the requirements, revising adding or eliminating them, as a part of a federally approved state-specific plan to increase job replacement.  Benefits still won't be paid beyond an allotted time whether the recipient is working or not.

To be even more ridiculous Romney says that under Obama's plan "you wouldn't have to work and wouldn't have to train for a job - you'd just get a check in the mail."

Romney's campaign has continued to produce ad's that falsely claim President Obama ended the requirement that people on welfare engage in work.  The Des Moines Register asked about his false ads.  "Iowans who consider you an honest man are asking why you would keep repeating something that isn't true." 

Romney said "Fact-checkers on both sides of the aisle will look in the way they think is most consistent with their own views.  It's very clear that others who have looked at the same issue feel that the president violates the provision of the act which requires work in welfare, defines what work is. He guts that, he ends that requirement for those that seek welfare."

Ron Haskins, a welfare expert and former Republican congressional staffer who helped write the 1996 welfare reform law has said "Romney's welfare attacks are bogus.  There is no plausible scenario under which it really constitutes a serious attack on welfare reform."  Romneys campaign has been saying "Obama quietly ended work requirements for welfare".

THERE IS NO PROOF FOR THE PREMISE OF ROMNEY'S WELFARE TV ADS.
