Romney Campaign, Then and Now

“You know, in the past, when people pointed out that something was
inaccurate, why, campaigns pulled the ad. They were embarrassed. Today, they just blast ahead.”

— Mitt Romney, quoted by Greg Sargent earlier this month.

“We’re not going to let our campaign be dictated by fact checkers.”

— Romney pollster Neil Newhouse, quoted by BuzzFeed this morning, after it was pointed out that fact checkers say the Romney campaign’s welfare attacks on President Obama are not true.
