“I don’t know that its a lie or not.”
You’re a hell of a lot more trusting than me, then.
I treat politicians like I do car salesmen. I might, just maybe, if I am feeling very charitable, trust them once, but if I catch them lying, I’m never trusting them again.
I don’t trust any of them any more than you I think. I just know the alternative is much worse. The days of letting Rhinos lose without a good strategy of replacement with conservatives (basically turning the seat over to a Dem) and saying its better to have the Dem their to take the blame from the screw ups may be over. The pendulum is swinging so fast that the next time it swings left, the left will bring its authoritarianism with it. I don’t like to think about what happens after that.
