Lies and Hypocrisy, Election Strategy

 The hypocrisy of many of the Republican senators can be demonstrated by news clips where they go on record that they shouldn't vote on a Supreme Court justice close to an election.  Well documented lying is all too common today.

The argument is made by some that all politicians lie.  Often they like to point to statements which contain some exaggeration or othe misstatement.  Most people I know except that mistakes will happen and at times everyone might misstate a fact about how many did something or when something happened  

The ies I'm talking about are when you deliberately say something you know is false.  Getting caught in a lie was a big deal at one time.  Of course we used to have an electorate that cared about honesty and decency.

I imagine some will dispute this, generally by making false allegations, but in today's politics Republicans have become the champion hypocrites and liars.  This is largely because of their leader but it has become more endemic to the party.

It is also encourage by the FOX lie network which is able to get away with fairly constant propagand.

Still I have faith in the American people who I believe have recognized what's going on.

Unfortunately I don't see it changing.  Its likely going t escalate after this election.

Its their only move nowadays.
