Everyone lies in their campaigns. I think that you
need to also consider that telling the truth in a
campaign is not the same as telling the truth in
your personal, or family life. There's really no
relation. Here again you make an unreasonable
assumption. Some people with no integrity will also
tell the truth when it really counts-- knowing that
they will be crucified if they were ever found to
lie at that time. Facts are easy to check, but
political support and feelings are quite impossible.
Most people will not forgive a political double
cross.

You know why I never trust politicians or
bureaucrats? Because some of you assume it is okay to
lie. That's outrageous to excuse! To lie in the
political arena is just as heinous as to lie to a
friend. I can't believe you accept it. I'd suggest
we through out every liar whether he be a politician
or not.

They are wasting my precious time by lying.

I'm not excusing such behavior, and I don't accept it.
However, apparantly you assume that they are always
lying. A more reasonable assumption is that you really
don't know. Jerry assumes that he somehow knows when
they are or are not, lying. Of course, sometimes we do
have the information to know that. But it could also be
that we don't have the whole story, or the person is
speaking from a position of not having all the facts
that we have.
