Another Way to Tell That a Politician is Lying [1]

It is when a politician says something like this:
There are serious challenges facing our State and nation, like a $14 trillion debt and America's dependence on foreign oil. It is more important I spend my time and energy trying to solve these problems than to be distracted by a campaign for reelection.
That ranks right up there with the line that "I am quitting my job in order to spend more time with my family."

For a career politician to say "I have more important things to do in this job than run for reelection" is bullshit. There is nothing more important in a political career than running for reelection (or election).

Either Conrad's polling is telling him that he is going to get his ass waxed next year or he is just tired of all of the bullshit of being a senator.

    It's both. North Dakota has swung way to the right and the nonsense from our homegrown teabaggers is, like on the national level, drowning out any rational discourse. I'd move--honestly, but ND's economy is booming and I've got mouths to feed.
