We Can't Have Two Separate Versions of Reality

When you allow a liar to continue to lie as if everything he says is true and nothing he says is straight up called a lie, it just encourages him to lie more.

Mitt Romney in what his campaign is calling a huge foreign policy speech:

"The president has not signed one new free trade agreement in the past four years. I will reverse that failure."

Yes it's old.  Yes it's nothing new to have Mitt Romney smiling on teevee lying through his teeth.  But there's too much at stake to let him get away with it.

In the reality-based community, aka the real world, President Obama has signed three 3 new free trade agreements.  Anyone with access to electricity can easily figure this out.

I think we are past the point where we know Mitt Romney is going to lie every time he talks.  We also know Republicans are going to giddily cheer on his lies-- it's what they do.  In order to smear the president and make the last four years appear as failure, Romney and GOP has to lie.   It's all they have.  Though what we are seeing, which isn't right, is the media's outright failure to force facts into the presidential election.  There's no way anyone can possibly say President Obama has not signed a new free trade agreement.  It's like calling the sun a planet, there's simply no truth to it.
