The Chicago Tribune has Clarence Page’s article Team Romney’s war against facts.

I think the written part is a lot stronger than the video commentary.

It’s hard to tell who had a looser grip on reality as the Republican National Convention wrapped up; Clint Eastwood or Mitt Romney’s spin doctors.

f you can’t trust a campaign to tell you the truth in its speeches and ads, do you really want to trust it with your Medicare?

In every day life, people wake up to the fact that they have been taken in by con artists, usually after losing their life’s savings.  Since Mitt Romney is not such a likable fellow, one of the tools of a con artist seems to be missing.  Perhaps this will be enough to enable people to see Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan for what they really are before giving up their fortunes to these con artists.

I have two hopes for the Democratic convention.  One is that the Democrats will avoid bending the truth let alone outright lying.  The second is that the media won’t find it necessary, for balance, to find as many lies in the Democratic convention as they found in the Republican convention even when the Democratic lies don’t exist.
