Nobody with any sense believes anything politicians say. Lying is part of the job. You can't hold that against them. Everybody does it. The man's no worse than anybody else.
All husbands sleep around and commit adultery.
All politicians cheat when they raise money, and do favors for campaign contributors. It's all a conspiracy. There is no valid criticism, and criticizing discredits only the critics. Damn the press. I don't care what the facts are, it's wrong to report them, and nobody wants to hear them, anyway.
