Politics and lies

Letter to the Editor:

This is neither a defense nor a criticism of Hillary Clinton. Someone else can write that letter.

It’s said with righteousness, amazement, and incredulity, “But she lies!” The point of this is that it is incredible that anyone could vote for Hillary Clinton because she is a liar. Now you can most assuredly vote against Hillary Clinton, but please don’t use this as a reason.

If we didn’t vote for liars, we would be trying to run our government with a handful of politicians. Sometimes they lie outright, and other times they lie by omission -just don’t tell the whole story. Also, people who use this as a reason for their vote should definitely do a fact-check on Teflon Don. If he accidentally stumbles on the truth, it is an anomaly. And the really amazing thing is that so many people don’t care. They love his lies and his half-truths. And he knows it! So that is his modus operandi – just say whatever. They’ll eat it up. Please cite a more credible reason to vote for Teflon Don.
