Gov. Huckabee (clip from Dec. 2007 campaign ad): "If a man's dishonest to get a job, he'll be dishonest on the job."

Male Announcer: What kind of man would mislead, distort, and deceive just to win an election?

This man would.  Mitt Romney. 

Romney said he has always voted Republican when he had the opportunity.

But in the 1992 Massachusetts primary Romney had the chance to vote for George H.W. Bush or Pat Buchanan but he voted for a liberal Democrat instead. (Source)

Romney said his investments in Fannie and Freddie were in a blind trust.

But as reported in the National Journal, Romney earned tens of thousands of dollars from investments NOT in a blind trust. (Source)

Romney denied seeing a false ad his campaign used to attack Newt Gingrich. 

But Romney's own campaign paid for the ad, and Romney's own voice is on the ad approving its false content. (Source)

If we can't trust Romney says about his own record, how can we trust him on anything?

Gingrich: I’m Newt Gingrich and I approve this message.

Notes: From the Jan. 27 press release:

"Last night Mitt Romney revealed his character," said R.C. Hammond.  "In the past two debates, Newt Gingrich has been presidential and poised.  In Governor Romney, we saw an over eager politician.  Romney exposed his biggest weakness: credibility."
