Romney's premise is a big fat lie.
And the way these candidates pander to the base-- the null set describes their lack of a set of real balls (except for maybe Paul).
Most of them wouldn't even give a straight answer to the Libby pardon question. "Let's wait for the appeal process!" B.S. Libby won't win his appeal. Just answer the question.
It will be even more fun when Fred Thompson's character and maybe Newt join in the debates. Watch them tell us that everyone should obey the rule of law but them.
