Rick Santorum called out his opponent Mitt Romney for not being completely honest about his record on health care. Santorum told NBC's David Gregory, "Governor Romney in the state of Massachusetts mandated every person in Massachusetts have to buy health care. He doesn't tell the truth about that either. He said, 'Oh, it's only the 8 percent that didn't have insurance.' That is simply not true." In addition to health care, Santorum tried to paint Romney as liberal on climate change. "Man-made global warming. He put caps on CO2," he charged. "And now that it's not popular, now that the climate changed, guess who changed along with it? Mitt Romney." Romney spokeswoman Andrea Saul hit back, however, arguing that Santorum is the one who hasn't been truthful. "Rick Santorum has a habit of making distortions, exaggerations, and falsehoods about Mitt Romney's record," she said. "Governor Romney has never advocated for a federal individual mandate. He believes in the 10th Amendment and, as a result, has always said that states should be free to come up with their own health-care reforms."
