Some people assume that lying actually matters to the average liberal. If liberals could only be educated enough to recognize the lies, they would no longer be liberals, or so the lament goes. Sure, there are going to be a few escapees with actual consciences, but...
One thing I've learned from liberals, is that they *do* see the lies, the distortions, the blatant pandering, the immorality, etc. These things simply don't matter to them. It's really sad, but it explains how the Kennedy and the F-n types continue to be employed.
While a conservative sees lying and pandering as overt signs of immoral character, the liberal mindset embraces these tendencies, as "evidence" that their candidates "bow" to them. It appears to be some kind of sick power trip. So, if a F'n candidate lies/panders/bs's, to a liberal it is a sign of prostration toward the citizenry. They like that! THAT's how a liberal can chant and believe that a lying SOB is "doing the work of the people". It's all about power.
the ends justify the means..... I am afraid you are right. They don't care if they are lied to, as long as their side wins.
