This week in Truth Team

By Truth Team on October 28, 2012 Formats Truth Team Mitt Romney
The last presidential debate left a clear picture of the choice we face in this election. As commander in chief, President Obama leads with a steady hand and strong values. Mitt Romney, however, tried to hide his extreme foreign policy positions by pretending to agree with the President on issue after issue—once again proving why he is the wrong choice to lead our country on the world stage.

But Romney plans to take us back to the failed policies of the past on more than just foreign policy. As the President said, Romney wants "to import the foreign policies of the 1980s, just like the social policies of the 1950s, and the economic policies of the 1920s." In fact, when it comes to women's rights and women's health, Romney is propping up the most extreme positions in his party. His running mate Paul Ryan referred to rape as a "method of conception," and co-sponsored a bill with Rep. Todd Akin to redefine rape. And the only U.S. Senate candidate Romney has endorsed in an ad? Richard Mourdock, who said pregnancies resulting from rape are "something that God intended."

Learn more about Romney's attempt to craft an out-of-date, 20th century plan for the 21st century.

Mitt Romney’s condescending views toward women

By Noah on October 17, 2012 Mitt Romney Debate October 16
At the second presidential debate, President Obama showed his continued commitment to progress for women. Meanwhile, Mitt Romney didn’t offer a single policy or solution when asked about the problem of pay discrimination, just anecdotes. While the President talked about women as breadwinners, Romney talked about them as resumes in “binders”.

In a follow-up question, one of Romney’s top advisors claimed that the Governor opposed the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act in 2009. Watch this video and share it with your friends to show why Romney is too extreme for women.

By Noah on October 5, 2012 Mitt Romney Debate
At the debate in Denver, Mitt Romney stretched the truth about his plans for the country time and again.

Post-debate wrap-up

By Grant on October 3, 2012 Mitt Romney Debate Barack Obama
“Four years ago, we went through the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression. Millions of jobs were lost, the auto industry was on the brink of collapse. The financial system had frozen up. And because of the resilience and the determination of the American people, we've begun to fight our way back. Over the last 30 months, we've seen 5 million jobs in the private sector created. The auto industry has come roaring back. And housing has begun to rise. But we all know that we've still got a lot of work to do. And so the question here tonight is not where we've been, but where we're going.”
—President Barack Obama

Tonight, for the first time in this election, President Obama and Mitt Romney stood on the same stage, and the American people saw the clear choice between the two candidates. President Obama outlined his concrete plans to move America forward in the next four years, while Mitt Romney was on the defensive, unable to explain the math behind his $5 trillion tax cut favoring the wealthy or back up his claims with facts or specifics.

In case you missed it, here are some of the highlights and specifics the President outlined.
