Yeah. Lying. Big time.

Okay, second glass of wine, last post (for today).

What amazes me is that people think the leadership is principled. You cannot gain high political office in this (or probably any other) nation by being principled.

You can only achieve power at that level by lying, cheating, being devious, telling people what they want to hear, etc.

It is difficult to comprehend why folks just can't grasp this reality.

Your cynicism has overcome your judgement--and you have the left's talking points down to a tee.

Let me see if I have your argument down...politicians are lying corrupt pigs, so we should ignore the threat to our nation posed by Hussein, Bin Laden and Co. Just retreat, and everything will be fine and dandy.

That about cover it?
