Default Romney's lies of the day

There are so many ... aside from Romney throwing conservatism under the bus at the debate, disavowing he held seven major right wing positions he's taken in the past 2 years of trying to get the GOP nomination (when your own campaign fact checks ya as false right after the debate, you know you flip-flopped), we have Daily Lying Mitt:

Yesterdays Romney lie was:

Quote:
In an interview with the editorial board of the Des Moines Register on Tuesday:

Romney said: "There’s no legislation with regards to abortion that I’m familiar with that would become part of my agenda."
Of course that is an outright lie, as Romney has stated repeatedly he's against abortion even in case of rape/incest, he will defund Planned Parenthood, and he's run on a strict anti-choice platform this entire election cycle.

His campaign fact-checked Romney's statement as wrong and corrected it within an hour.

Quote:
But that wasn't the only lie in Romney's interview. He also lied his ass off about his position on birth control coverage.

Earlier this year, when he was still trying to woo his rabid base, he joined the rest of his party in supporting the Blunt Amendment to give employers the right to decide what kinds of health care their employees should be allowed to have.

In trying to Etch A Sketch his way to being moderate again, he said employees should be allowed to decide what kind of health care coverage they prefer. In other words, a total flip-flop from his earlier "severely conservative" position.

Trying to appear moderate only landed Romney in trouble with his base again, so his campaign immediately started calling the professional anti-choicers to assure them that of course Mitt is still as rabidly anti-choice as they are.

He didn't mean to say he wouldn't pursue an anti-abortion agenda; it's just that the question was really confusing.

(Mitt gets confused by questions quite easily, forcing his campaign to then clarify that, no, he actually meant the exact opposite of what he said. Something you definitely want in a president, right?)

Meanwhile, the campaign has Paul Ryan insisting that he and Romney are "unified" in their rabid opposition to women's health care, and their position "is consistent and hasn’t changed." And except for Romney's 10,000 flip-flops, he's right
