All politicians are liars. The better liar + skillful spin doctoring = victory. It is an image game, not a truth game. Get people's heads all messed up around stupid crap like someone's religion or if someone can see Russia from their potty while dropping a deuce and they will lose sight of the important things like the issues that will actually affect their lives.

Baffle and Bewilder. Those are the codes. Hide the truth about candidate X. If it comes out, launch a counter-attack with the ever-useful "candidate Z is Hitler" posters.

I know zero Republicans who are not embarrassed as hell by the bible-thumping right. I also know zero Democrats who are not embarrassed by the freaky Maoist left. The rest of us are in the middle sucking our thumbs going "[censored]! fooled again!'
