It isn’t necessarily a lie. That suggests that Romney intended to deceive knowing it was false.

Did he just forget about his lobbyist fund raisers and lobbyist campaign advisers?

Romney was being truthful about how he views his campaign. He does not perceive it as one being intertwined in good ol' boy Washington politics. And that is the truth.

You are being extremely disingenuous.

Having friends who volunteer on your campaign who happen to be lobbyists is not the same thing as a lobbyist "running" a campaign.

Having friends who volunteer on your campaign who happen to be lobbyists is not even close to working in Washington for decades and being beholden to lobbyists and special interest groups.

The point is accurate -- his campaign is not one over-run with old Washington insiders. Can one ever run a campaign totally devoid of any such influence? Of course, not. But if you cannot see the difference, then that's your problem.

Of all the viables, Romney has the least baggage on this issue and it is really a losing argument when compared to the other candidates' checkered pasts.

Next baseless and shameless attack.

You have to interpret what he meant and understood. That is pretty hard to do with just parsed reports.
