"liar's loophole."

"If you're trying to change minds and influence people it's probably not a good
idea to say that virtually all elected Democrats are liars, but what  the hell." TRKOF&S


Staggeringly Stupid Debbie Wasserman Schultz caught in a lie?—question mark?
QUESTION MARK?!? 


 
An important lesson here, I think.

In 1992 Wasserman was an aide to Florida state legislator Peter Deutsch when he won a seat in Congress. Debbie ran for his vacated seat and became the youngest female legislator in the state's history. Famous liar Bill Clinton won that year's Presidential election. 

Political scientist Stanley A. Renshon, author of "High Hopes," a psychological biography of Clinton, speculates that the president rationalizes deceptions through his belief in a "liar's loophole." [WaPost 1998]

"My purposes are so noble, and the purposes of my enemies are so bad, that whatever I do to advance my purposes is justified," Renshon said in explaining his analysis of Clinton. "He always thinks he'll get away with it." It is this belief that allows Clinton to focus on winning the audience before him rather than long-term consequences"-


Clinton's legacy to the Democrat Party, then, is that the lie is a noble and beautiful thing when fighting Right Wing Extremists (nee Americans)—and the nation's media are allied with you so long as you never admit to the lie.   All Democrats since Clinton have followed suit, so one may safely assert, as I do,  that all elected democrats are liars. Especially this Party Chairman .

All Democrats are liars. They either lie to gain power, or lie instead of admitting they follow the politics of evil.

Our Constitution was based on the premise that governments are flawed and thus must be limited. Progressives KNOW that thru proper education and conditioning of its citizens, a perfect government is attainable. When you goal is an earthly paradise then any tactic is justified, any cost acceptable.

And while you are waiting for Utopia, all that power and the perks don't exactly suck.

ALL polititions lie, they can't help it, it's what they are. But given a choice, I'll chose the lesser of two evils.

Liars, certainly (end justifies the means);
but allow me to expand the observation.
Dem/lib/prog/commie women officeholders are generally both dishonest and abysmally stupid.
Sure, some of their men are idiots, too; but these women are shockingly inane.
Not sure why that is, though.
(What? Well, okay, not as stupid as those who vote for 'em, but still.)
