John:

"Lie, lying, & liar" are such negative and overused terms thrown around in the political arena. Emphasizing the positive aspects and downplaying the negative ones might be a more palatable phraseology, eh? :)
Besides, everyone KNOWS you have to have "flexible ethics" to be a politician, especially when trying to appeal to diametrically opposed members of a voting base. And this process certainly isn't restricted to one party over another.
