Maybe Huck sent the Romney Christmas cards?     I guess they won't be on the same ticket. 

Huckabee says Romney is 'dishonest'

INDIANOLA, Iowa -- Mike Huckabee called chief rival Mitt Romney "dishonest'' today for what Huckabee said were gross distortions of his record, and said voters should question whether Romney would tell the truth if he were elected president.

"If a person will become president by being dishonest, just remember, if he becomes president, he likely will not be honest on the job,'' Huckabee told voters at a restaurant campaign stop.

So apparently distressed at Romney's criticism, Huckabee refused even to commit to voting for Romney for president if the former Massachusetts governor wins the Republican nomination. "I would never vote for a Democrat in the presidential election next year,'' Huckabee said. But asked if he would prefer an honest Democrat to a "dishonest'' Republican, Huckabee refused to answer.

Spokesman Kevin Madden said Romney was accurately pointing out aspects of Huckabee's record that would take the country in the "wrong direction'' if continued from the Oval Office.

"Mike Huckabee's record is his record and his alone. it's a troubling record, but the facts about his tax hikes and spending binges are true, and the differences many Republicans have with his positions are very real,'' Madden said.

Romney, who made a series of quick coffee-shop stops in Iowa today, has stepped up his attacks on Huckabee as the former Arkansas governor has surged in the Iowa polls. A Huckabee win in Iowa would give life to his shoestring campaign and imperil Romney's chances in New Hampshire and beyond.

Romney has been the biggest liar of this campaign from EITHER party.

Worse yet, is that his team DEFENDS the lies, which really pisses off the talking media heads who make a story of it.  When Romney said he and his dad marched with MLK... and it turned out to be a complete lie.... and Romney said he meant that "he and his dad shared the same vision"... and that he was figuratively marching with him... well, that's an obvious lie. 

There's also the fake NRA endorsement that Romney claims to have had, whether or not he's a hunter, blaming his wife for him giving $ to Planned Parenthood, and others. 

Most politicians are insecure liars.  Romney just lies more than the rest of them.
