Group Funded By Huckabee Supporters Is Making 1 Million Calls In South Carolina Attacking John McCain. "A group calling itself Vietnam Veterans Against McCain circulated the leaflet accusing the presidential candidate of collaborating with the enemy during his years as a prisoner of war in Vietnam. Another group called Common Sense Issues, which has financial backing from supporters of rival GOP candidate Mike Huckabee, the former Arkansas governor, paid for 1 million automated telephone calls in South Carolina describing McCain as a proponent of medical tests on fetuses and amnesty for illegal immigrants. 'It's the same kind of appalling stuff that was done in spades in 2000,' said Orson Swindle, 71, a Marine veteran who spent two years as a prisoner of war in a cell with McCain."

#1 Without a doubt, Huckabee is
Without a doubt, Huckabee is the most dishonest campaigner in either party. All the dirty tricks and lies that surrounded his campaigns in Arkansas have surfaced again in IA and SC.
Huckabee''s only honest statement so far is that he "must have done something right" to be re-elected twice in a Democratic state. The "something right" that he did was running his office like a Democrat and his campaigns like a Clinton.
#2 McCain Is No Slouch Either...
...when it comes to pandering and lying right to our faces.
Has everyone lost their short term memories!?
Lucky for you I made a list of links so you can't forget...as if the Libs would let you when the nomination is over and the election begins;

Can you do the same for Ron Paul?
With Guiliani likely to drop out after Florida, it only leaves McCain, Romney, Huckabee and Paul.
Apparently Huckabee is running out of money, so he might drop out after early February if he doesn't reverse his downward trend in votes or
I haven't heard much dirt on Ron Paul except that someone wrote some racist stuff in newsletters with his name on it while he was out of politics, and that he put in spending bills so that Texan taxes could be spent in Texas.
Can you find anything on this guy to catch him red-handed?
It can't be that after starting in politics in the 70s, there is no big dirty thing in this Ron Paul's history.
Based on your research, if there is nothing, maybe he is the only clean candidate running in the Republican party.
What does he stand for anyway? Is he pro-life?
