I bet they can't say "lies" because they'd get sued, but it's interesting, if they had to argue this in court, would he be able to say he simply made "misstatements" over and over again? Would he argue insanity?

During a Lawton Chiles campaign for governor of FL about 20 years ago, he was nailed for having his minions call senior citizens and just flat-out lie about how Republicans were going to take away their Social Security. Actually, I guess they still do that now. :-)

But anyway, testifying under oath about these campaign irregularities, some Democrat weasel admitted to lying but instead of actually calling it 'lying' he referred to them as "purposeful misstatements". I swear.

Naturally this was covered very little by the State Run Media at the time.

It really is depressing to see the kind of people who get deeply involved in politics. They see themselves as a separate class, without honor or the desire for it, which is a quality for the saps.
