Mitt Romney's Latest Lie

I believe that the word "lie" is thrown around way too often these days. We call
things lies that don't really fit the definition. However, the latest campaign
dirty trick from Mitt Romney is a classic lie.

It appears that Romney is making calls to voters and telling them that the
Republican race is now a two-man contest. The text of the calls is this:

Hello, This is Governor Mitt Romney. The race for the Republican nomination for
president is now a two person race. Our party, I believe, is at a critical
crossroads, and the future of conservatism is very much at stake. I believe the
choice before us is quite clear: Do we support the liberal policies of the
Washington D.C. crowd, or do we want to fight for the conservative principles
that have defined our party for more than a century? I believe that our policies
have to remain rooted in conservative thought. Together, you and I can begin to
change Washington. That's why I need your vote on Tuesday


The fact is that Mike Huckabee is still very much in this race. As oso diablo
and I have both calculated, unless Romney's and the media's efforts to undermine
him work, Mike should be in second place in Delegates after Tuesday. If those
efforts do work, then the media will come out next week and say, "See, we told
you Huckabee wasn't a viable candidate," but the truth will be that they
torpedoed his campaign with this false rhetoric.

The conventional wisdom still claims that without money, a candidate can't win.
Well, Mike Huckabee proved in Iowa that it's not true in all cases.

I implore you, do not fall for the lie that voting for Mike Huckabee hands the
nomination to John McCain. Voting for Mike Huckabee improves the chances that
Mike Huckabee will be the Republican nominee. Don't listen to Mitt Romney and
the Conservative media echo chamber when they lie to you and say this is a
two-man race between Romney and McCain. They think if they say it enough, you
might believe it. And if you believe it, it will make it come true.

Huckabee has no credible scenario to win the nomination. Romney does. If you want John McCain for president, than by all means vote Huckabee

I'd love to hear Romney's "credible scenario to win the nomination." It doesn't exist. If Huckabee were to drop out, McCain would win all the southern states that are in play for Huckabee.

Have you seen the Fox News poll that shows in a head-to-head with McCain, Romney loses 64%-29%.

I think Mike and Mitt should team up and they should win, but that hope is too high because Mitt is resented by Mike and John for many reasons. McCain is too arrogant and short fuse. I don't want his fingers near the button.

What was that about Romney's credible scenario to win the nomination?

Kissin' cousins Mike and John are still the ones with more lies. They should win the Top Hypocrites of the Year award.
