There are ordinary lies and there are "damn lies." Ordinary lies are told out of weakness and a desire to not hurt other people's feelings or look out for one's personal well-being. "Damn lies" are deliberately hand crafted to delude and deceive with salacious ulterior motives.
The Romney/Ryan campaign are masters of "damn lies." They desperately hope enough people will be gullible enough to believe them.
One of the most blatant of these "damn lies" is the currently playing campaign ads that tell the American public Chrysler is planning to ship auto production for the domestic market to China.
It's a total "DAMN LIE!"
Go to this article to get the facts about lyin' Ryan and lyin' Romney; http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/10/30/chrysler-romney-jeep-ad_n_2046038.html
Be sure to check out the litany of other false Romney statements that accompany this article. I'm of the opinion that he's one of those idividuals who will tell a lie when the truth would serve him better, just to hone his skill.

MY VOCABULARY GREW
I've sometimes come across a word I was until just today too lazy to look up. That word was "myrmidon." I saw it again in a blog comment and decided to finally find out what it actually meant.
The definition: "a person who executes without question or scruple a master's commands."
To my horror, that perfectly describes the person I was about fifty years ago. I bowed to every suggestion and command that issued from Herbert Armstrong's immoral, lying mouth. Of course, it wasn't until much later that I realized what a lying, immoral monster he was. At the time, I thought he was the epitome of righteousness and truth.
The world is filled with myrmidons, and they all have one thing in common. They have all been deceived and hypnotized by some purveyor of deceptive non-truth. Many of those deceivers rise to the top of political parties and nations. Religions are awash in them, especially at the top. They all have the goal of enslaving people for their personal wealth and power. They hunger to be virtually deified.
My myrmidon days are behind me, but I find I still have to be onguard against being deceived into accepting someone at the face value he or she tries to project. There is no end to the deviousness some humans are capable of.

THE ETERNAL CON JOB
I have to admit that I feel a bit discouraged this evening. I look at the world around me and at all the lies and deceptions, the con games and the crass using of human beings for the agrandizement of those in ultimate power, and I tend to despair.
I look at the political sphere and I see an ignoramus like Perry proclaiming that God explains why we are here, and the blind ignorant masses cheer his ignorant stupidity. Properly trained theologians know better. They know what a contrived mass of pishtwaddle the Bible and the Christian God is. They just don't let the masses who ultimately pay their generous salaries know what they know. They soothe their consciences by any number of psychological machinations to convince themselves that their deception is for the good of the people. The few who publish the facts don't get much press and their books and articles are given no front page prominence.
The masters of Banking and Wall Street and the corporate lords know they are taking everybody for a "ride." They just don't care. They're chuckling all the way to the bank! The masses who are suffering and will suffer are just unfortunate collateral damage
The fact that we are destroying our planet through runaway climate change and bringing on a greater extinction than has been seen for millions of years is denied and pooh poohed. If billions of people die, too bad. We're over-populated anyway. So what if multitudes of species die off. We'll figure out how to adjust. Keep those profits high and our taxes minuscule.
I could go on, but much of it would be redundant to what I've said in other blog entries. I'm just going to get ready for bed. Maybe I'll feel better in the morning. I doubt it.
