who are you talking about, because it sure isn't me

Mitt Romney, 2/22/12: There were so many misrepresentations in there it's going to take me a little while. Number one, I said today that we're going to cut taxes on everyone across the country by twenty percent—including the top one percent.
Now to anyone but a fool, OU know he's talking about cutting rates... He's stated it numerous times. Not cutting the taxes paid, but cutting the rate. How does he do this? Well, given that he earned tens of millions of dollars and the top rate kicks in at about 200k, exactly how much of his income is being taxed at 36%?
Quote:
Mitt Romney, 10/3/12: The key to great schools? Great teachers. So I reject the idea that I don't believe in great teachers or more teachers.
Mitt Romney, 6/8/12: He says we need more firemen, more policemen, more teachers. Did he not get the message of Wisconsin? The American people did. It's time for us to cut back on government.
Few people consider firemen police and teachers government any more than the military is government.
Quote:Mitt Romney, 10/3/12: Actually, it's a lengthy description, but number one, pre-existing conditions are covered under my plan.
Mitt Romney, 3/27/12: If they're 45 years old and they show up and they say I want insurance because I've got heart disease, it's like: "Hey guys, we can't play the game like that." You've got to get insurance when you're well, and then if you get ill, then you're going to be covered.
Geez... so even when you have an actual working model of a plan that passed, you base your opinion of what he will do on this second quote? It's not even clear who "we" are in the statement, or that he's advocating any policy. Seems to me he's saying, this is what the insurance companies will say...
Bottom line... the first statement is quite clear. The second statement is a story and not a statement.
HARDLY facts in your favor

THIS is an even bigger lie than the old politicians, a cut in the projected increase is a spending cut argument... This is increasing the deficit by an amount less than we increased it LAST year is a cut in the deficit.
Your chart isn't measuring the deficit, which is a cumulative number, but the annual contribution to that deficit. All of those numbers are increases in the deficit.
Talk about confusion with facts
