Right up to the election, Pew put that at only 4 points. Look what happened.<BR/><BR/>The GOP was making glowing predictions of a Republican sweep right up to the 2006 elections. That's what they do.<BR/><BR/>wrt to greta, the issue is not "lying", per se, but rather bullshit. Romney saying he's dropping out of the race because we're in a time of war and continuing would mean a surrender to terror is a mixture of fact and opinion. True we are in a "time of war", so he's not "lying", and as far as his continuing candidacy leading to a surrender to terror...well, that's just opinion.<BR/><BR/>He can't possibly win, so he's withdrawing. He's spent $14 million of his own money on a failed bid for the nomination. Even in a time of peace, it would be the sensible thing to do. So his stated reasons are simply bullshit. Someone going down on the Titanic can just as well say they are looking forward to a little Arctic swimming, or the Japanese in 1945 could have said they were surrendering in order to promote American tourism. You can't prove it's a "lie", but it's certainly bullshit.Todd Dugdale https://www.blogger.com/profile/17584727904734922884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8674902.post-71743474837854075062008-02-09T09:59:00.000-05:002008-02-09T09:59:00.000-05:00Romney is not a liar. Let's check all the history...Romney is not a liar. Let's check all the history of the three top running GOP candidates and well, I'd say that Romney is the only honest, none hating man of all. Huckabee is clearly a Mormon hater, which is why he wouldn't step out of the running, he would have given it to Romney. McCain is just as much of a flip-flop as Kerry and with the uncertainty of the future of America, we do not need that. Romney pulled out because he does want what is best for our nation. It's hard for the dishonest men to believe that there is any honesty left and that it lies with one of their competitors, but shhhh, don't tell anyone, it would make you look bad.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
