That ain't no excuse, friend.
And I've seen too many FReepers claim that Mr. Romney had to lie....As it's a cost of doing business.
Personally I'd just as soon he went down in a flash of flames...than to lie to get where he is.
If "plain talk" means you are okay with out and out lying, or the means justify the ends...then I want no part of it.
Not sure what "lying" you are referring to. But it doesn't really matter I suppose. You don't like him and that's that. AMF.
The Bible is pretty clear as to what God thinks of liars (and their destination).
