Politifact rates the relative honesty of Republican candidates: do you think they're accurate?
Here’s the link, and it has a nice chart. According to Politifact, the general pattern of their fact-checks reveals that:
• Ron Paul and Mitt Romney tend towards true statements the most.
• Michelle Bachmann and Newt Gingrich have the greatest tendency towards false statements and “pants on fire” lies.
Obviously this is not scientific, and there is some wiggle room in what sort of statements Politifact chooses to fact-check and how they rate them (issues that we’ve debated already in this question). But I think the trends here are interesting and probably reflect a lot about the candidates.
(By the way, please read or at least skim the first link before commenting!)
