Not to Be a Cynic, But Lies are the First Language of Politics

On Friday afternoon, two of the leading contenders in the Democratic presidential primary lied. There’s no other fair way to put it. They flat-out spread fiction, libeled an innocent man, and stoked American divisions — all for political gain.

Those of both parties work solely for political gain.  That's hardly news.  I appreciate we are told that they are working for us, or "for the children",  but there is little evidence of that.  Mostly, they work to garner more power for themselves and create more opportunities for graft.

It's delightfully post-Christian of them.
