In the same way economic stimulus can be claimed to yield jobs "created or saved". Either you have to count what might have been or not Apples and pineapples, i-node. But you know that. Pretty much every instance of "fact checkers" saying Romney lied turned out to be themselves lying. I don't think the man ever lied about anything. How about "Obama refused to call the Benghazi attack terrorism". To name one. Besides, this wasn't about whether he lied or not. It isn't relevant to my post. I was just pointing out he was wrong about shipping those jobs to China. The reason why they re-opened the Chinese plant was to compete better against Ford and GM who were already building in China. And they were trying to address that issue because they weren't doing as well against the other two. Those vehicles are being built for the Chinese market. Pretty much every instance of "fact checkers" saying Romney lied turned out to be themselves lying. Really? You wouldn't happen to be able to back that claim up, now would you? There are a long list of fact checked Mittens lies. Show me where, oh, 50% were debunked.

Romney lied like a rug all through the campaign: politifact.com All False statements involving Mitt Romney Mitt Romney The number actually hasn't changed much "Regulations have quadrupled. The rate of regulations quadrupled under this president." Mitt Romney Not one year, not 'breaks,' not Fisker or Tesla ... it goes on "In one year, (President Obama) provided $90 billion in breaks to the green energy world … into solar and wind, to Solyndra and Fisker and Tesla and Ener1." Mitt Romney The deficit is actually down slightly from what Obama inherited Says President Obama has "doubled" the deficit. Mitt Romney Wrong before, wrong now "Right now, the (Congressional Budget Office) says up to 20 million people will lose their insurance as Obamacare goes into effect next year." Mitt Romney Plenty of non-payers support Romney The "48, 49 percent" that supports President Barack Obama are "people who pay no income tax." Mitt Romney Suit seeks fewer restrictions, not more President Obama’s lawsuit claims it is unconstitutional for Ohio to allow servicemen and women extended early voting privileges during the state’s early voting period. Mitt Romney A gross distortion President Obama was saying success "is the result of government," not "hard-working people," when he said, "If you've got a business, you didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen." Mitt Romney Not the stimulus, not to buy foreign cars Says stimulus money went to buy electric cars from Finland as a payback to Obama supporters. Mitt Romney Where's the evidence? " ‘Obamacare’ puts the federal government between you and your doctor." Mitt Romney No fuel for this claim Says Dow Chemical decided to build a plant in Saudi Arabia rather than Oklahoma due to the impact of environmental regulations on the supply of natural gas. Mitt Romney Cherry-picked number that lacks key context "Obamacare … means that for up to 20 million Americans, they will lose the insurance they currently have, the insurance that they like and they want to keep." Mitt Romney Not supported by evidence "Obamacare adds trillions to our deficits and to our national debt." Mitt Romney Spending increased by about 5 percent a year on his watch When Mitt Romney was governor of Massachusetts, "we didn’t just slow the rate of growth of our government, we actually cut it." Mitt Romney Health care law doesn't 'cut' Medicare Says Barack Obama "is the only president to ever cut $500 billion from Medicare." Mitt Romney No support for giveaway claim "The president gave the (auto) companies to the UAW." Mitt Romney Obama did mention Israeli fear about rockets "This president went before the United Nations and castigated Israel for building settlements. He said nothing about thousands of rockets being rained in on Israel from the Gaza Strip." Mitt Romney That omits deals with South Korea, Colombia, and Panama Says President Barack Obama has opened up no new trade relationships with other nations. Mitt Romney Repeal would ultimately increase deficit Eliminating "Obamacare" ... "saves $95 billion a year." Mitt Romney Nothing to do with right-to-work state Says the National Labor Relations Board told Boeing that it couldn’t build a factory in South Carolina because South Carolina is a right-to-work state. Mitt Romney Other presidents cut benefits - and Obama hasn't "Only one president has ever cut Medicare for seniors in this country . . . Barack Obama." Page 1 of 2 next
