On Friday I finally cracked open my primary ballot and began the painstaking process of selecting which liars I'll choose to represent me. All politicians lie, although most of them prefer to call it campaigning. Being able to elect your favorite fibber is the foundation of this great Republic we call America. But this is never an easy task. Especially considering that so many candidates are lawyers, which gives them a professional prevaricating edge. Which liar will lie most often to your advantage? This is the question every voter must answer/Doug Clark, Spokesman-Review. More here.
Question: As a rule, we Americans claim that all politicians are crooks and liars. However, do you really believe that? What is your real opinion of politicians? Is it the same for federal offices as it is for local ones?
