RE: The trouble with lying once, Marco, is that everything you say thereafter is suspect.
OK, here’s another perspective... isn’t it possible to realize that you were wrong and change your mind?
If we used this standard for every single candidate, Ronald Reagan ( who signed a bill legalizing abortion in California when he was governor ) would never be President.
On the other hand, considering that Reagan had been in office for only four months when he signed the "Therapeutic Abortion Act", a bill that had been debated and passed in congress the year before and was widely hailed as a law that protecting women's health, it can safely be assumed that Reagan made a mistake rather than deliberately misled his constituency.
Really? After the previous amnesty fights, low favorable polling for amnesty, the fact it was a huge issue when he got elected, and he campaigned against amnesty, he made a mistake? If he is that dense, he doesn’t belong anywhere near politics.
The mistake excuse could easily be used for a touchy issue that came up during his term. Amnesty has been an issue for years, and there are very few thinking people that don’t have an opinion on it. His mistake was thinking he had the influence to sway enough conservatives to get the bill passed.
Come on now. Was that not prior to decades of tens of millions pouring in at will, with government aiding and abetting every single bit of it? It looted the American treasure and left hundreds of thousands of victims in it's wake.
Then suddenly after decades of this government sponsored chaos, in 2015 this guy suddenly changes his mind?
No one buys it. No sale.
