@mamalukino said in The Political Necessity of Lying:
All candidates like to talk about measures they believe will “work,” because it allows them to avoid being specific. Everything works, because all actions, whether good or bad, have consequences. But that doesn’t mean everyone likes or benefits from those consequences. Thus, the question is not whether something works, but whether we like the way it works.
Communism works, if your purpose is to enslave people. Stealing works (at least some of the time), if all you care about is money. Lying works, if you don’t care about your personal integrity. Literally anything, no matter how monstrously immoral, will work, depending on the outcome you’re after and how you define the term work.

Evidence of a politician lying.... lips moving.
The sad truth is that they don't have to lie to stay in office.
Nancy Pelosi referred to the Affordable Care Act at a Democratic Party event that we had to vote for the ACA act to see what's in it. I SAW THE VIDEO ON THE NEWS. I don't know that an elected official could make a more bone headed comment than that.
One would hope she would read a bill before voting for it. I just don't know how the heck our media let her off the hook for that and allowed her to become speaker of the house. SHE'S IN THE LINE OF SUCCESSION TO THE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT.
What we can do about the LEFT WING NUT MEDIA... TALK ABOUT BLATENT BIAS...
