Has any Republican ever matched Romney's mendacity?

I can't think of one, not even Richard Nixon. Romney seems to leave them all in the dust as far as lies, deception, deceit, and dishonesty go. I don't think anyone else is even a close second for lacking in any integrity.

Romney and his side kick are the most extreme. I don't think it can get any worse.

As someone pointed out upthread, Romney is in a religion that sanctions lying.
