In praise of good liars

See, the important thing is that we WIN. If we have to tell a few lies to get GOOD people elected, well that is just how the game is played. I did not make this screwy mess, but I REALLY want to clean it up. If my guy will play the game, I know there is the old "wink, wink, nudge, nudge" as he says whatever pablum the shleeple will swallow. Truth is good, but you have to get the VOTES so these good people can get in there and restore truth. So good people have to tell a few lies. That is just the price we have to pay and we ought to appreciate how hard it is for THEM, because they are good people, and it must be hard on them to have to play these deceitful games. I mean, it makes it so hard to tell them from a run of the mill liar.

Truth first, second, third, and politics down there in the triple digits somewhere. Electing liars will lead to the same place, no matter how good a person that liar is. Becoming what you seek to defeat so you can defeat it means you lost before you ever ran the race.

And because this is truth, and simple to understand but not what is popular, it will roll off the end of the page, people afraid to touch it. Some will likely complain that I am not marching to the approved tune. I march to TRUTH. If that gets me banned... well, that is all for the best then, I suppose.
