“When my love swears that she is made of truth
I do believe her, though I know she lies…

Although she knows my days are past the best,
Simply I credit her false speaking tongue:
On both sides thus is simple truth suppress’d….

Therefore I lie with her and she with me,
And in our faults by lies we flatter’d be.”  – Sonnet 138

I love that second to last line:  “Therefore I lie with her and she with me.”  (Wasn’t Shakespeare great at the double entendre?)  Romney lies to his fans just to get elected; they lie to themselves in order to vote for him.  It’s all so crazy, as pointed out in this guest post from Better Living Through Beowulf.  Can’t wait to find out what happens in Michigan today!
