Romney misrepresents his interview with Denver TV reporter

CBS4’s Shaun Boyd should let her viewers know that Mitt Romney is misrepresenting an interview Boyd had with Romney when he was in Denver May 10.

In an interview last week, a radio host asked Romney: “I saw that you got a little testy with one reporter who wanted to talk about marijuana and same-sex marriage yesterday. Has this been a real curve ball for ya?”

Romney replied: “She asked two or three questions about same-sex marriage and civil unions and then about medical marijuana, and I finally laughed and said, You know, there are some really big issues out there, like if Iran is going to get a nuclear weapon, how to change leadership in Syria, and what it’s going to take to get this economy moving again, one after another. Why don’t you ask about those? We finally got around to that.”

Two problems here, one is that Romney never mentioned Syria in his response to Boyd.

But more importantly, Boyd asked Romney about civil unions and marijuana, and she still had over half of the five-minute interview remaining.

Romney interjected after about two-and-a-half minutes and asked Boyd why she was asking him insignificant questions, which, as Boyd pointed out, aren’t insignificant in Colorado anyway.

Listening to Romney’s recounting of his interview with Boyd, when he says Boyd “finally” got around to economic issues, you’d think Boyd used most of her time on civil unions and marijuana, when in reality, there was plenty of time left for other important issues.

Again, this is by far the worst candidate the right has ever put up.

Bush wasn’t bright, particularly moral, or sympathetic to be sure, but he had some core.

Like him, dislike him, he had certain principles that he really took a stand on.

This guy, he’s somethin’ else. There is nothing thre!

You have to wonder if lying is simply something he doesn’t even care about. If the truth isn’t even part of the conversation.

Unbelievable that he says this crap, seemingly knowing nothing isn’t taped, documented anymore.

Is he being told “Don’t worry about what you say, we’ll just drown it out with our message.”?

Imagine this guy as Commander in Chief, and who’ll be his advisors, his cabinet.

Not reelecting President Obama is NOT an option.

I’m not so sure he’s even sure: he’s kinda-maybe not totally against military intervention to create regime change, but it’s kinda wait-see if we can supply rebels the arms to do the job.

He wanted the opportunity to articulate that?!

Nothing but fawning love for Obama from Shaun Boyd AND Jason Salzman. Amazing.

  FYI, the thread’s about mittens being dishonest about the questions asked of him when he was here.
  
  Do you care to debate the veracity of Salzman’s account of how Romney lied about what was asked and what he replied, or are you just whining about the “mean writer” busting the lying former Vietnam era draft dodger making shit up?
  
  This is the strategy of a child.
  
  When caught misbehaving, the child changes the subject from his/her bad deed to the reaction of the parents.
  
  Didn’t work on me raising kids, agop, and it ain’t workin’ now.
  
  Go to your room.

  That fact has nothing to do with Romney being a liar.
  
  Deal with the liar thing. If you can.
