They ALL lie! Politics 101 requires lies for votes as the basis for all campaigning and network sound bites. It does not matter if they are seeking office, just got it and "explaining" what was said on the campaign trail It does not matter wither Rep or Dem, and all of the hero-worship in the world doesn't change the situation.

You can't let them stay in office long enough to get "efficient" at poli-theft or snucker. Oust them all after 3 terms (re0resentatives) and one term (senator or president) - in a country of 300,000,000 there's got to be others capable of doing their jobs.
