A presidential candidate is only as good as his word, and the six remaining Republican presidential candidates have been slinging quite a few to win over voters. Ahead of Tuesday’s New Hampshire primary, BET.com discovered where candidates line up and where they fall short. According to the Annenberg Public Policy Center, presidential Mitt Romney’s repeated and prominent claim that he created 100,000 jobs through his work with private equity firm Bain Capital is misleading because there is no clear count of jobs lost as well as created in the multiple companies in which the firm invested. —Britt Middleton(Photo: Kevork Djansezian/Getty Images)

Does Newt Gingrich Really Believe All Food-Stamp Recipients Are Black? - Newt Gingrich resurrected the racist stereotype that the majority of food stamps recipients are Black when he said that if he were invited to the NAACP convention hosted in Houston, he would go and “talk about why the African-American community should demand paychecks and not be satisfied with food stamps.”  According to the Department of Agriculture, roughly 40 million Americans receive food stamps. Out of that number, 13.4 million are white, 8.9 million are African-American, and 6.6 million are Latino. (Photo: Kevork Djansezian/Getty Images)

Did Jon Huntsman Stretch the Truth on Gas and Oil? - At the final GOP presidential debate before the Iowa Caucuses on Dec. 15, Jon Huntsman said that the U.S. has more natural gas than Saudi Arabia has oil, but as Steven Grape at the Energy Information Administration told PolitiFact.com: “We don’t have more natural gas in this country than Saudi Arabia has oil, but we produce more natural gas in this country per year than Saudi Arabia produces oil.”(Photo: REUTERS/Brendan McDermid)

Are Blacks Getting the Bulk of Government Entitlements? - After Rick Santorum told Iowa voters at a campaign stop recently that he didn’t want to "make Black people's lives better by giving them somebody else's money,” the presidential candidate has backtracked, denying that he actually singled out Blacks for being participants of public assistance programs such as welfare and Medicaid.

Did President Obama Call Americans Lazy? - In a campaign ad that ran in November, Texas Gov. Rick Perry attacked President Barack Obama for saying that “Americans are lazy” — but according to the APPC, he took the commander-in-chief’s words out of context. Obama actually said that “We’ve been a little bit lazy, I think, over the last couple of decades,” according to the APPC, and was referring to collective efforts to promote foreign investment in the U.S., and not to American workers or voters as individuals.(Photo: Win McNamee/Getty Images)

Where Does the Middle Class Truly Fall? - At a a debate in New Hampshire on Jan. 7, Rick Santorum said that the term “middle class” was one that “we should not be using as Republicans” because it implies class warfare. Apparently, according to the APPC, the former Pennsylvania Senator must have had a change of heart: his campaign used the term in an Iowa flyer, and has used it in the past himself.(Photo: Steve Pope/Getty Images)

How Much Will President Obama’s Health Care Plan Cost Americans, Really? - Mitt Romney claimed at a recent debate that repealing President Obama’s health care plan would save the country “$95 billion a year.” The Congressional Budget Office has estimated that the plan would cost about $1.4 trillion dollars over the 2012-2021 period — about $100 billion a year — but that figure doesn’t include revenue-generating taxes or cuts in the law that would end up saving money(Photo: REUTERS/Brian Snyder)

Does Ron Paul Really Know Foreign Policy? - At an Iowa debate in August, Ron Paul said the CIA told him there is “no evidence” Iran is “working on” a nuclear weapon, but according to the APPC, the International Atomic Energy Agency has said there are “possible military dimensions” to Iran’s nuclear program, leading one to wonder where Paul is getting his intel. The IAEA says Iran has carried out activities “relevant to the development of a nuclear explosive device.”(Photo: AP Photo/Nati Harnik)

Are “Crooks” Costing the Country Billions Through Medicare and Medicaid Fraud? - While sparring with his fellow presidential contenders on NBC’s Meet The Press on Sunday, Newt Gingrich repeated his inflated claim that in 2011, Medicare and Medicaid cost the country $100 million due to fraudulent payments. The APPC found that it was true that the federal health care programs paid about $64.8 billion in “improper payments” — such as those that went to the wrong person or were in the wrong amount — but not all of those payments went to “crooks”, as Gingrich had claimed.
