Huckabee questions Romney hunting claim

22 minutes ago

GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney was wrong to suggest he was a lifelong hunter even though he never took out a license, campaign rival Mike Huckabee said Sunday.

"I think it was a major mistake," said Huckabee, a former Arkansas governor. "It would be like me saying I've been a lifelong golfer because I played putt-putt when I was 9 years old and I rode in a golf cart a couple of times."

"I think American people are looking for authenticity," Huckabee added. "Match their record with their rhetoric."

A message left Sunday with a spokesman for Romney was not immediately returned.

Romney, a former governor of Massachusetts, was dogged last week about his hunting activities after he remarked at a campaign stop that he has been a hunter nearly all his life.

The next day, his campaign said Romney had gone hunting just twice — once as a teenager in Idaho and last year with GOP donors in Georgia. Officials in the four states where Romney has lived also told The Associated Press that he never took out a license.

look where we are today...

2. And How Many Angels Can Dance on a Pinhead Will Be the Next Debate

Could these GOP candidates find anything more trivial to fret about?

4. Yeah--why don't they start, I don't know, debating the war? Or domestic

issues? Or entitlements? Or foreign policy? Oh, I forgot--there's not a dime's worth of difference between them.

3. Romney just keeps embarrasing himself

I hope he takes the hint and drops out soon.

5. Romney is a pathological liar

He had to tell some real doozies to fool Massachusetts into electing him. If he'll lie about something trivial like this, you can expect him to also lie about the important stuff.
