Now that the race for the White House has essentially narrowed down to 2 (sorry Newt), the Republican machine is beginning to swing into gear. With no further distractions, President Obama is about to experience the full weight of Romney's (and the Super PACs that support him) attention. First up; Romney attempted to improve his standing with the female demographic, where he badly trails the President. He trotted out claims that women fared especially poorly in an Obama economy the other night;

Isn't it ironic? Crossroads GPS upset?
Claim Obama quoted Reagan out of context, yet
At the link that they provide to prove Obama wrong;
Post scores by Pinocchios and, guess who's nose was long?

Of the current candidates, Obama's nose is short.
Romney and Newt Gingrich lie more often they report.
Romney's latest whopper about 92%
Unemployment rate for women? Nose is broke and bent.

They don't have a category yet for true though not.
Romney tried to slip that number by but he got caught.
That is not the way to make a woman like a guy;
We can spot a phoney and we know that numbers lie.

I'm afraid they're going to have to do better than that if they expect to cut in to the President's 19% lead with likely female voters.
