Oh what a shock.... politicians do lie (promise things that cannot achieve) to get elected. If one actually believe the promises of a politician to get in office, one must be incredible naieve.

BTW, both camps are eually guilty. remember: "Read my lips... no more taxes". They will promise you enything to get in office. In fact they will have to or otherwise they won't get elected in the first place.
