You guys won't like this source but this guy lists 30 instances of dishonesty/distortions in Romney's acceptance speech. He imbeds links to support his argument.

http://maddowblog.msnbc.com/_news/2012/08/31/13593775-chronicling-mitts-mendacity-vol-xxxii?lite

I fully expect the Democrats to engage in repeated falsehoods and distortions at their convention, but it was depressing to hear assertions which have been repeatedly judged false by independent fact checkers resurface this past week.
If only I had more time!

Before I even get to the "30 instances" cited there, the introduction seems to hold the Dem's claim of false facts they just can't get past.

...Kevin Drum was thinking along the same lines responding to Romney's lie on welfare policy, which the candidate has vowed to continue repeating, even after it's been proven false.
  • In the past, you felt that maybe campaigns were at least a little bit embarrassed about this kind of thing. They'd blame it on someone else. They'd try to produce some lame defense. They'd haul out some fake white paper to give themselves cover. They'd do something. The Romney campaign just doesn't seem to care. If it works, they use it. It's like the campaign is being run by cyborgs


From the HHS: Temporary Assistance for
Needy Families - Information Memorandum

  • Two states – Utah and Nevada – submitted written comments that specifically identified waivers as one mechanism for testing new approaches to promoting employment and self-sufficiency, and a number of others states – including California, Connecticut, and Minnesota - have asked about the potential for waivers.


State of Nevada / Dept HHS Director's Office
(Page 2, 5th bullet on PDF document)
  • Exempt the hardest-to-employee population for a period of time (i.e. SIX MONTHS) to allow time for their barriers to be addressed and their household circumstances stabilized


That's what Barry is doing for the welfare work program passed under Slick Willie. It's a little like borrowing more money to pay back later, in their efforts to delay that "work" thingy another SIX MONTHS. Lord knows, if they're on welfare they'll need SIX MONTHS of 24/7 time allotted to get their furniture arranged properly.

As time permits, I'll address each of the 30 instances cited. I'll move this post over to the fact check thread.

Clint Eastwood stumping for Mitt Romney suggests shift in Hollywood's political paradigm, experts say


Hollywood has long been considered an overwhelmingly liberal community, but given Clint Eastwood’s “surprise” blockbuster appearance in support of GOP Presidential nominee Mitt Romney this week – are the tables starting to turn?

"God bless Clint Eastwood for coming and supporting Romney. It shows that he is interested in the outcome of America,” Oscar-winning producer Gerald Molen, who’s latest project is the controversial documentary “2016: Obama’s America,” told FOX411’s Pop Tarts column. “There are those of us who are trying to educate our Democratic friends in Hollywood as fast as we can."

Eastwood, arguably one of the biggest actor/directors of our time, addressed the Republican National Convention (RNC) on Thursday evening to great anticipation, applause and laughter given the surprisingly bizarre nature of his speech - talking to an empty chair. Other big names that performed and/or attended the RNC this week included Journey, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Taylor Hicks, Kid Rock, Dave Navarro, 3 Doors Down, Zac Brown, and Sara Evans.

And while social networks were ablaze with reactions to Eastwood’s unusual speech, the Oscar-winner undoubtedly brought an A-list name to Romney’s lineup.

In contrast, the upcoming Democratic National Convention is looking notably scarce in terms of confirmed celebrity guests compared to the star-studded turnout of 2008, which further begs the question: are the days of a Democratic entertainment industry diminishing?

“It’s no wonder Obama has a fewer celebrities this time around, he treats the rich like one big punching bag. And after a while even the rich in Hollywood are going to take a pause, being beat up because of their wealth on a daily basis they might say: Enough is Enough,” quipped New York-based political and entertainment publicist, Adam Weiss,

Jeff Roe, political consultant and founder of Axiom Strategies, added that “this shows is that even Hollywood is tired of President Obama's failed leadership and understand how badly his policies are damaging the united states economy.”

Too bad this painting wasn't on display at the RNC convention. The painting displays all of Obama's failures. Here is the interactive painting at the artist website:

"This was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal!" Obama shouted, revealing the fact that the galaxy is not big enough for his ego.

On Thursday night, Romney quipped: "President Obama promised to begin to slow the rise of the oceans and to heal the planet. My promise is to help you and your family."

Best line from Romney's speech. Think about what Obama was saying here. What does this say of the arrogance,the pomposity, the sick ego of this inexperienced junior politican? Who says these things?

Talk about lies...was this a lie or the sick delusion of a man who believe his own press clippings to a frightening degree? No wonder he could never compromise with his I-am-God perception of himself.

Well, guess what? Carville and Greenberg have just released a new poll, and it's devastating for Obama. Among independents -- the precious, eagerly sought, oh-God-everybody-loves-them independents -- Romney leads Obama (this is a poll this week) by 15 points, 53 to 38 in independents. This is remarkable. This is a Stan Greenberg and James Carville poll. "Independents disapprove of Obama's job performance 56 to 40%. And when looking at intensity, disapproval is greater than two to one, 47 to 20%."

It is devastating.

This is James Carville's own poll.

That is awesome news!

Ww just had a commercial here in Indiana where the DNC has trotted out
Clinton to say that Obama has a plan to rebuild the economy. He states
that the Republicans' plan is tax breaks for the rich and deregulation.
He says that's what lead to the problem in the first place.

He goes onto say that Obama has a plan to rebuild the economy, but
gives no specifics whatsoever.

They're the liars, plain and simple.

That commercial has been airing here in NC for almost two weeks now if not a bit longer.

Couldn't agree more. This was the dinner conversation tonight. My concern is whether or not we have enough intelligent people left in this country to see the difference between these two statements - a man who believes he influences the solar system and one who simply wants to positively impact the lives of individuals.

Did you see where a big rain storm in Charlotte washed away a good bit of Obama's sand Mt. Rushmore type "statue"? Wish I knew how to linke the quote here. I think it is SOOOo funny. They brought the sand from Myrtle Beach. Is that legal? To move that much sand from the ocean front? Narcissist In Residence at White House. Can you imagine Romney ever permitting such a farsical fascimile of himself?
