FactCheck Hammers Mittens

One of the things that happens when you allow Mitt Romney to carry on-- unabated--  on nearly every domestic campaign topic in front of tens of millions of people is he talks himself in circles.  Clearly, some of his biggest "zingers" were flat out lies.

• Repeated over and over again that the president is cutting Medicare by $716 billion.  Not true says FactCheck.org
• Claimed rather forcefully that the president doubled the deficit.  Completely not true.  Total lie.
• Claimed his tax plan was supported by at least 6 studies.  Not true.  Most of those studies he mentions were written by Romney backers.  None were non-partisan. 
• Romney claimed many times that Obamacare contained a new board that would make decisions for people.  This board could deny them care, tell them what medicines and procedures they can or can't have.  This is a rehash of the Sarah Palin's Death Panels.  It's a complete and desperate lie. 

Now sure just like almost every other Democrat out there I would have liked for Obama to have called him on his lies way more than he did.  But letting Mittens talk and talk gaining more confidence every time he opens his mouth conjuring more and more false statements isn't a bad strategy either.
