side effect of Romney's pathological lying - How could foreign leaders

ever trust a thing he said or a promise he made? Even having things in writing doesn't seem to mean much to Romney.

Beyond that, I wonder how the racist dog whistle advertising here at home is being understood in nations of color or those with "other" religions.

I would be very wary of a Romney were I a leader of a foreign country.

I'm angry with myself for not thinking of it first.

But you are absolutely right. Of course there is always some deception and bull-shitting in foreign "diplomacy" but Romney would raise that from mere deception to out right lying and reneging on our commitments and treaties whenever he found it useful to him to do so.

How could any foreign leader ever possibly trust him. And what would they start doing in the way of weapons and troop build-ups to hedge their bets on Romney being a complete liar and him doing something stupid to start WWIII by bombing Iran.
