Paul lies more than Romney, Santorum, and Gringrich?

Seriously? The numbers at the bottom show Paul with a *higher* (more of a liar) score than all 3 of the remaining opponents, and of course, none lower than the great BO himself.

Looking through a few of them, the score seems pretty arbitrary, Mitt flat out lies about something he said in the past and gets a 2, ron miscatagorizes "marines" as "troops" and gets 3.

Well Pual might, but Paul doesn't.

Consider the source, an organization of professional liars, none of whom have your best interest in mind.

Sample size skews the results. They only had 10 statements where they could rate RP, really?? Sounds like cherry picking to push their view.

Ha ha. They even dinged him for his ad showing Santorum as a FAKE conservative. But, in their article about it, I'm not seeing any refutation of fact.

it's a lot of work when you have to make up a brand new fiction with each one

In other news, WashPo is found to be a bigger liar than Ron Paul.

They should include themselves in their phony polls.

It is what they do best.

The article links to the latest ad on Sanborem.

I dont have time right now to rip it to shreds, but they dont even touch on the debt ceiling.

They also dont deny that Santorum voted for foreign welfare, instead they try to justify it...

Everything he says contradicts what the media says he says.
