All politicians lie. Its currently a job requirement. Some are just better at it than others. We keep complaining about our politicians but we don't do anything to to fix the problem. The problem on the right is that they have a bunch of nuts coming out of the woodwork looking for a free paycheck for life, and everyone else looking for a bunch of corporate handouts. If we wanted to fix politics we'd outlaw all private money and have the elections funded through taxes with every candidate getting equal #'s of commercials, equal amount of signs, etc. No donations from any single citizen or organization.. That way we only get people who want to do the damn job and not people looking to get rich. You'd see most of these bastards resign overnight.
