further documentation for the term "neoconfused"

Clinton lied under oath...and was caught red-handed and impeached. It doesn't really matter what he lied about...although one would have to imagine that if he lied under oath about anything so insignificant...he likely lied a great deal more about things of substance...and just managed to hide the evidence.

I have yet to see any evidence that the current administration has ever lied about anything.

You seem to be the one that is confused. I would rather be labeled a neocon than be one without a moral compass who can excuse lying under oath.

+1 Lying is still Lying, doesn't matter really what its about.

That's just the point. The ruling party couldn't find anything else so they impeached him for the lie....like anyone else would admit to adultery and/or porking Lewinsky.

If the dems had any balls they'd do the same to Bush.

It pains me to agree. Romney is a gigantic cornball douche but I guess that could be a harmless affliction. I really wish he wasn't the best available though.

Stuff like this hurts my head:

Romney is not the businessman I would want in the White House. He is another politician with a law degree who will raise corporate taxes. I have read about his turning around the Olympics and his time at Bain but there are many who question his record.

----------------------
The former Massachusetts governor issued a statement on Sunday titled "creating jobs" that focuses on 57,600 jobs added to the Massachusetts economy during his single term as governor from 2003 to 2007.

But Northeastern University economist Andrew Sum, who has researched Romney's record, said the state lagged the U.S. average during that period in job creation, economic growth and wage increases.

"As a strict labor market economist looking at the record, Massachusetts did very poorly during the Romney years, he said. "On every measure you've got, the state was a substantial under-performer."

At a campaign rally here on Saturday, Romney's supporters handed out flyers promoting the candidate's economic credentials, a central theme in his campaign, saying he had "closed a nearly $3 billion budget deficit without raising taxes" during his term in Massachusetts.

But the $3 billion deficit projected by Romney and state legislators in January 2003 at the start of his administration never rose that high because a surge in capital gains taxes more than halved the shortfall to $1.3 billion.

While Romney and the state legislature cut $1.6 billion from the 2004 budget, analysts noted he also generated more than $500 million by raising fees and by closing corporate tax loopholes -- actions considered tax rises by some businesses.

"There's never been under his watch an economic turnaround to speak of," Michael Widmer, president of the independent Massachusetts Taxpayers Foundation, told Reuters.

"We added a few jobs over the last three years of his tenure but very few. He also raised corporate taxes and fees and the (deficit) gap turned out to be less than $3 billion."
