The epitome of a great liar is the stereotypical con artist who is so sincere in believing his or her lie, that they are absolutely confident that others will buy into the lie.
Judge Judy: If it doesn't make sense, then it isn't true. Just because a dog peed on my leg, doesn't mean its raining!
I feel that Romney qualifies on both counts. The Media agrees with President Obama, that for the last year, Romney has sincerely expressed his plan to cut taxes by $5 trillion, over ten years and reduce the deficit and unemploymnet rate to zero (or so it seems)..
Most Americans pride themselves in telling the truth and occasionally tell white lies to avoid detection or embarassment. We aren't perfect.
We think of con artists as swindlers of kids, adults, corporations and nations. How can we possibly forgive a politician that is a bona fide liar? Con Artists are so convincing that I am reminded of a current investigation of the felony charge in NY Federal Court, being perpetrated on people who bought prescription drugs overseas. People are told that they face a felony charge unless they go to the 7-11 and purchase $5000 of debit cards and then call for instructions on where to send them. Otherwise they have to appear in Court in NY. The perpetrators represent themselves to be Anthony C. Marotta, DEA agent, and tell their victims to google the name-that's ME! Millions of people, primarily those who are employed, are terrified of this because a felony on their record means they will be fired. Seniors and immigrants are also terrified by this scam. It has been very successful according to the DEA agent I spoke to. The scam apparently origniated in Central America. The scammers actually identify themselves as DEA agents and are extremely persistent, even saying that your workplace or home will be visited.
If for no other reason than this, I suggest you consider a vote for Obama, who is not a con artist liar.
