Political rhetoric

Staff Writer

I had to laugh when I heard Mitt Romney's spokesperson explain Mitt being listed as Bain's CEO for several years after Mitt had stated he was not the CEO. "Mitt retired retroactively."

I retired in 2007, but under the pension plan was actually eligible to retire in 2001. Can I now go back and change my status to retired retroactively and collect the six years of pension payments?

No need for Mitt supporters to write and comment, I'm sure that the Democrats will give us something just as illogical, absurd and self-serving too. The truly tragic thing is that the American voting public just accepts it, as political rhetoric, when if it were uttered by your child, you'd wash his mouth out with soap for lying.
