[DiogenesLamp]

A politician who gets to the point and doesn’t ramble on for an hout listening to the sound of his own voice. He would never be successful today.

Sure he would. Since his first sentence is a bald face lie, but spoken so smoothly people failed to notice, he'd be a natural lying politician in the USA today.

He deliberately misled people about the 13 slave owning states trying to get their independence from England as being about freedom for slaves, and that is absolutely wrong.

The Declaration of Independence was not about freedom for slaves. It was about Independence from the United Kingdom. Making it about slavery is an attempt to mislead people.

Sure he would. Since his first sentence is a bald face lie, but spoken so smoothly people failed to notice, he'd be a natural lying politician in the USA today.

Here's his first sentence:

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

Where is the "lie" -- much less the "bald face lie" -- in that sentence?
