“yeah that is unfortunately what most people do when stuck in an embarrassing situation”
Not anyone with an ounce of integrity. That situation would have been SOOOO easily handled by the truth. All he had to do was show his record and if it held up to snuff (I think it does on eco issues) then problem solved.
But he didn’t do that. He chose to lie. I don’t want that kind of man leading America as it’s no different than the lying Obama does now, though the subjects may differ. He lies to Americans easily. That’s my biggest problem with the guy.

That is true. Though I think his biggest problem is that he told the truth about his feelings towards illegals. And that is a bigger integrity problem, interestingly enough, because it says to the country that breaking the law is OK and something to be proud of and rewarded.
