Which is, of course, a lie- as you'd know if you'd simply been reading this blog.
The bill which Huckabee brought before the Arkansas legislature on meth sales, which the Romney ad claims showed how weak he is on crime, had a minimum penalty of ten years for a first offense.
The bill which Romney brought before the Massachusetts legislature, which the Romney ad claims proves that he is tougher on meth sellers than Huckabee is, had a minimum pentalty for the first offense of two and a half years.
What's more, Romney couldn't even get his bill passed!
Now it's true that the Huckabee bill lowered the penalty- at the request of Arkansas prosecutors, who had to deal with catastrophic overcrowding in the prisons- for first time offenders. But the fact remains that Huckabee's law was four times tougher on first time meth dealers than the bill Romney tried, and failed, to get passed in Massachusetts.
See here for details. Claiming the opposite is just plain lying, son.
Romney claims in his ad that he was praised by certain newspapers for the dubious record of never having exercised executive clemency in a state whose judicial system certainly isn't perfect. fact, those very newspapers criticized him for it.
That's a lie, too.
For information on the actual impact of alleged "law 'n' order" man Mitt Romney's incredible judicial appointments- he had a strong pattern of passing over Republicans in favor of Democrats- see this.
here and here are articles from the non-partisan site FactCheck.org on the misrepresentations of fact in Romney's attack ads on Mike Huckabee.
Here is the same site's analysis of the dishonest ad the Romney campaign is currently using to smear John McCain in New Hampshire.
And here is an article on the ad in which Romney misrepresents his own record on immigration.
My friend, were I a supporter of Mitt Romney- who is as clueless about the meaning of "saw" is as Bill Clinton claimed to be about the meaning of "is-" slick is one word I'd never use about one of my opponents. The bottom line is that Mitt Romney has a real problem with the truth, that he's currently demonstrating it in dishonest and deceitful attack ads against both Mike Huckabee and John McCain.
Huck has tried to play nice. But the fact is that the Romney campaign's lies are no secret- except, perhaps, to Romney supporters who don't want to face the facts about them.
point, bobby, is that while Romney TRIED (again being unbiased and less cheerleader like) to make the laws harder...Huckabee MADE the laws less hard (weaker)...that is the point, apples to apples, not with what they started with (laws in place before they became governors)...doesn't your gut have a quote about that, someone starting out on third base (Romney) compared to a guy who hit a triple (Hucky)...same logic bobby, nice distortion though.
oint, jarebearie, is that your "unbiased" persona would but Pravda in its prime to shame. Like most posts which go out of the way to claim that they're "unbiased," yours are sheer propaganda- and I wouldn't criticize anyone else's logic.
Point, jarebearie, is that Huckabee lowered probably excessive penalties at the request of state prosecutors concerned about prison overcrowdingto a point where they were four times what Romney recommended, and that on that basis Romney makes the claim that he is tougher on meth sellers than Huckabee. And that, jarbearie, is what is know as a lie- a deliberate, knowing, and intentional deception based on logic so shoddy that only a partisan biased beyond any hope would try to justify it.
I'm not sure where your baseball analogy comes in, but there is no logic in your argument at all. And what's more, in your heart, I have no doubt that you know it.
