This is a problem that has me puzzled why would a man or woman lie at a press interview or campaign rallies or campaign ad!
When they, know anyone with a computer or phone can find them lying on the subject in a few minutes!

I have my own thoughts on this but I would like to hear from you!
Who are these politicians trying to reach with these lies and why do they think they can get away with it.

I think compulsive lying is a prerequisite to become a successful politician.

They lie because they know that the majority of the people will not check their statements. The few who do will be the same people all the time and the politician can claim bias, r****m, sexism or any other convenient, made up shibboleth, to deflect the charge of lying. When all else fails, they count on their acting abilities to project candor and openness while telling more lies. It works well with the unthinking portion of the populace and gets them re-elected.

By running against a far more evil POS with a proven track record of criminality as well as lying incessantly about everything. This coupled with a total disregard and contempt for the basic humanity and rights of anyone who opposed her made her a candidate I could run my dog against and win.

Why can't your Reflubs prove any criminality? Not even a parking ticket?

We'll see how she fares just a few months down the road, with a larger Republican majority and no more Obama Umbrella of Corruption©.

Don’t you think there is a reason why political statements aren’t checked? Maybe they have a hidden agenda. Ask Diane Feinstein. She knows the ropes when it comes to these types of schemes.

Are you just finding that out? It is funny how people who support that particular politician can see no wrong. If you try to open their eyes, you get a cream pi in your face.

There's an old expression:

"Don't tell my mother I'm a politician. She thinks I play the piano in a whorehouse."
