use this false claim to try to smear a candidate with long, long record of doing the opposite of what you are attempting to claim. So far be it for me to try to stop you.

I doubt no matter what he does, or says, you will refrain from 'but he didn't mention it in that one speech'.

Be my guest!

I hope that when I criticize any candidate I will do so based on FACTS. But that's just me.
