Clearly you haven’t looked hard.

Take his NRA support line, repeated again today.

Or his repeated claim that “I was pretty proud of being the only guy on the stage that ever had a job in the private sector.”

Or his claim that he didn’t call McCain’s position on immigration “amnesty.”

Or perhaps the most innocent, but hilarious - The Red Sox waited “87 long years” to win the World Series.

McCain has been in the military or politics his whole life. No private sector exp. Huck has been a pastor or politician for most of his adult life. Again, no privates sector exp. worth mentioning (if there were youd think you could find it on his campaign website). Further, Romny was talking specifically in terms of running a business. So this statement is true.

Or his claim that he didn’t call McCain’s position on immigration “amnesty.”

True, he did. But McCains bill was amnesty, and Romny should not have let McCain bully him into saying otherwise. But he did not tell a lie that falsified the facts of what McCain in fact supported.

Even bringing this up proves the weakness of your argument.

In every politcal campaign, every candidtate, regardless of how honest is going to say something that dumb, that can be parsed, or may be a slight exageration of the proof.

I am talking about flat-out lies about about the opposition (their character, positioins, etc), in the face of facts.

I seriously considered Huckabee for a while. And while Romny is not lily white, the balance scale, IMHO, weighs in on the side of Romny. Further, both McCain and Huck have doged and refused to come onto San Diego's premier morning talk-show to be interviewed, while Romny did so, and without pre-conditions and answered every question directly, consistently, and without hesitation. Neither McCain nor Huckabee will go on Rick Roberts show in spite of repeated requests.
