Mitt Romney wants to prove that you can fool people all the time and forever, that a Super Liar and Hypocrite can be elected President of the USA. That Cynicism and Deception are the best method in American Politics ( according to Mitt ).
As a child I was told that George Washington never told a lie, except perhaps to deceive the British before and during a battle. Washington even confessed cutting a beautiful cherry tree that his father loved.
As a child I was taught that Americans hated Liars and Lies and that they abhorred Deception and Deceivers. This was a nation of Truth, Honesty and Decency.
And that Richard Nixon fell not because he was a damned crook but because he was a LIAR, LIAR, LIAR !!
Mitt Romney believes that Americans are idiots, if he is elected then he would have been proved right !
And of course Abraham Lincoln was a pillar of the Nation and of American values.
Here is the discussion on Lincoln that I promised you, as written in Wikipedia Wikiquotes :
Talk : Abraham Lincoln
Some excerpts :
The question has been widely discussed and still remains unsettled, as to whether Lincoln originated the memorable epigram: "You can fool all the people some of the time and some of the people all of the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time."
In 1905 the Chicago "Tribune" and the Brooklyn "Eagle" combined efforts in an endeavor to solve the enigma for all time. After investigation several witnesses were found, notably Lewis Campbell of Dewitt County, 111.; J. J. Robinson of Lincoln, 111.; and J. L. Hill of Fletcher, O., who agreed that Lincoln had expressed the sentiment, if not the exact words generally quoted.
It is supposed that he used the phrase in the above speech while addressing the people of Clinton, though the "Pantagraph" fails to cite it. Naturally, newspaper reports in those days were never complete, and the editor on this particular occasion even apologizes for his lack of space to give the entire report of this speech.
