I don’t think any of our candidates, the ones we like that is, are helped by focusing on smear campaigns, now that there are robocalls claiming Romney forced Holocaust victims to eat non-Kosher meals. It’s pretty much anything goes at this point.
That sounds too much like a defense of Romney. That’s not what I meant. I think smearing with false charges is wrong.
I want to support Gingrich, because he’s the leader, but he keeps saying these outrageous things. Is it too much to ask that a candidate not blatantly lie, even in a “good cause”? It makes it hard to support him. Like when he said gave ABC names of friends who would refute his ex-wife, and later his campaign admitted that there were no friends.
That’s what keeps pulling me back to the “unelectable” Santorum, he doesn’t appear to be blatantly lying about anything, just the normal degree of shading the truth.
