I asked you at least twice - what did Huck lie about regarding Mitt Romney? (Keep in mind that a lie is not speaking an embarrassing truth).

>>I asked you at least twice - what did Huck lie about regarding Mitt Romney?

Already answered in a previous post but I'll expand. He lied about Romney not supporting the Federal Marriage Amendment so he could appeal to his base as the only "social conservative" on that issue. It was a lie he told not only publicly on TV but his "representative" speaker at the Iowa Cacus event I attended in Sioux City, IA Feb. 5th continued the lie as well. The LDS church officially endorsed the Federal Marraige Amendment as did Romney years ago. Huck was not only lying about Romney politically on the issue but also religiously. Huck declared his support of the Amdendment was due to his religious beliefs. Yet he was perpetuating falsehood about Romney who had religious reasoning for supporting the Amendment as well. It was just another example of Huck who knows the truth about the issue openly lying about it for political gain.

The way he described the Mormon faith was openly decribed as a canard by Rush Limbaugh as well as other conservatives. Huckabee knew he was using theology to sideline Mormons to play to the Evangelical base. He knew he was wrong to do it. If he wasn't wrong to do it then why did he go to Romnmey to apologize to him for doing it?

In his apology to Romney he tried to play off that it was an offhand comment made out of ignorance. So Huck who holds a "theology" degree continued to lie by claiming ignorance that he "accidently" raised the theological issue? He knew what he was doing. But of course the damage was done. Much like McCain's open lies about Romney supporting a withdrawal timetable in Iraq.
