THESE ARE 5 OF THE BIGGEST LIES TOLD ON THE FIRST DAY OF THE DNC

With the Democratic convention underway, fact-checkers have already poured over the first day of coverage  , looking for tidbits of untruth, outright lies and verbal blunders. Not surprisingly — after all, this is politics and many politicians, regardless of party, have a penchant for stretching the truth — numerous deceptive statements were identified.

FactCheck.org, a project of the Annenberg Public Policy Center, found a plethora of lies   and presented them, in detail, on Wednesday morning. The Washington Post’s The Fact Checker did the same  . Going speaker-by-speaker and point-by-point, both outlets noticed oddities in discussions and comments about taxation, job growth under Romney when he was governor of Massachusetts and statistics surrounding equal pay, to name just a few problematic subjects.

First I'd read that Romney's record in Mass is reported as an average.

When the record makes you like you couldn't tie your own shoes correctly, you start making stuff up. HALF of Americans are on welfare, disability, or SOME kind of government (read: taxpayers) aid, unemployment is always 8%+, you've spent TRILLIONS on nothing, half of your appointees have IRS problems, the other half are from the Wall Street banks that ruined us, and many of your appointees are not even qualified or competent, but merely appointed because of race or gender, you should gracefully resign or refuse the nomination. But he will not. Instead, he'll drag out Bill Clinton to tell us he needs four more years to, uh, er, do MORE OF THE SAME.
