Mitt's Mendacity, Cont.

The imploding catastrophe that is Willard "Get Off My Lawn, You Moochers" Romney's campaign is still churning out lies as fast as Willard's lips can move -- the idea being to throw everything against the wall to see if anything sticks. One lie we would like to note this week is #19 in Steve Benen's invaluable weekly listing: that President Obama's plans to eliminate the Bush tax cut for the wealthiest Americans are "plans to raise the federal income tax on small business even more."

Never was true. As Benen points out, 97 percent of small businesses would not have their taxes raised one penny. Moreover, we saw in a recent poll that small business owners support Obama over Willard by 47 to 39 percent, so it's clear they're not buying Willard's shit "Shinola".
