I estimate I have said here twenty or thirty times that all  
campaigning politicos lie. I have said don't listen to their words,  
look at their history.

That is very much in line with my reasoning why, in the current  
election, voting for the person with the least political experience is  
best. With him we have the best chance for open-mindedness and fresh  
ideas. His advisor selection will be critical. This last presidency-- 
my, oh, my, it feels so good to write that--was as it was largely  
because the highly-experienced vice president was in charge of  
appointments.
