The Enquirer Politics Extra blog is reporting that a statement issued by Republican Senate candidate Josh Mandel within the last 24 hours differs with a questionnaire he submitted to the Right to Life Cincinnati anti-abortion group. On the questionnaire he stated he does not believe in any abortion exceptions, at all. In the statement issued in response to questions surrounding the Indiana Republican Senate race, Mandel said he has "always" been clear on abortion: he's against it in all situations, except when the mother's life is "threatened."
So, when was Mandel lying in this case? Was it to the general public or to the RTL of Cincinnati?
Mandel has the reputation of talking out of both sides of his mouth, even more than the average Politician, but documenting it takes the cake. If the RTL group has any credibility, yeah...a long shot, they would at least demand a clear explanation. Clear being the key word. Mandel needs an explanation that does not just indicate carelessness by a staffer. The buck stops higher than that.
Quimbob is on target. Mandel is like a cross between Hellboy & Pinocchio. Seriously, what can you say about a guy who lies so much he manages to stand out in a field full of lying liars?
