Gents & Ladies -
Don't you find it even a wee bit amusing when either political party accuses to the other of tossing stones from inside of their own - little icing-glass houses?
The words fraud, lie, sham, collusion, and even bull shit, were coined, in my opinion, within the body politics!!
Truth to a few in government is something that is always expected of the other fellow, but rarely handed out as change!!
I didn't swim away from that place!
I didn't inhale!
I didn't steal that election!
I am here to serve the needs and will of the people!
"Splendid sounding phrases, one and all, but alas, all to often as hollow as the head of a "John" when caught in the act by a "Dickless-Tracy" (opinion)!!
"The first casualty when war (or anything else for that matter) comes - is truth!" A quote by Hiram Johnson, 1917 in the U.S. Senate....
-------------------------------------------
Wenn Gott in seiner Rechten alle Wahrhret und in seiner Linken den einzigen, immer regen trieb nach Wahrheit, obgleich mit dem Zusatz, mich immer und ewig zu irren, verschlossen hielte und sprache zu mir: Wahle! ich fiele ihm mit Demut in seine Like und sagte: Vater, giev! Die reine Wahrheit ist ja doch nur fur Dich allein.
TRANSLATION:
If God were to hold out enclosed in His right hand all Truth, and in His left hand just the active search for Truth, though with the condition that I (or we) should ever err therein, and should say to me: Choose! I should humbly take His left hand and say: Father! give me this one; absolute Truth belongs to Thee alone!
G. E. Lessing (1729-1781)

So you see, if those in politics often lie like Hell, they would have an excuse (one of many) readily at hand! It being that "Truth Belongs To God Alone!"
*Nay says I, truth "SHOULD" belong to us all, for when governments lie, people die!!
