Default WHY do they LIE?

TOO BAD no one REALLY tells the truth anymore! I'm a Republican because I'm a conservative and their platform most mirrors my own opinion....but I wish JUST ONCE we would get candidates who don't have to lie and play with figures.

I have found www.factcheck.org to be a really great site in weeding out the truths from the non-truths.

New And Recycled Distortions At Final Presidential Debate

Bush claims most of his tax cuts went to low- and middle-income persons. Kerry says Pell Grants were cut. Don't believe either.

Summary

The debates are over and the results are clear: both candidates are incorrigible fact-twisters.

Bush said most of his tax cuts went to "low- and middle-income Americans" when independent calculations show most went to the richest 10 percent. Kerry claims Bush "cut the Pell Grants" when they've actually increased. Both men repeated misstatements made in earlier debates, and added a few new ones.
