Romney agrees USA is on route to recovery

In an interview on the Bill Bennett radio show, Mitt Romney  lashed out  at what he considered to be false ads by a pro-Obama super PAC. In the course of his tirade he lamented that “in the past, when people pointed out that something was inaccurate, why, campaigns pulled the ad.” Romney said this even as he refused to pull his own ads that had been rated “Pants-on-Fire” lies by  PolitiFact. Subsequently, the Romney campaign decided to  abandon any pretense to honesty  and declare that fact-checkers had “jumped the shark,” and that they would no longer “let our campaign be dictated by fact checkers.” In other words, we will lie if we feel like it.
