You know, I did a little experiment when you returned after a few days off from posting. I was extremely careful to be respectful and to only address the things you were posting, without evaluation of your motives or how far off the rails you were.

Immediately, when your conclusions were challenged, you resorted to your snarky attempts at insults. Even then, I have made my responses accurate evaluations of your bad behavior - and yes, your behavior is so bad that accurate evaluations of it are prone to be insulting (if you don't reflect on them in a self evaluative way.

You are the instigator of insults across this forum. Fortunately, your opinions don't garner enough respect for anyone to actually be insulted by you.

As for who's lying and to what extent it affects anything, we are all (except apparently you) quite capable of forming our own conclusions and balancing the imperfections of politicians with their policies, competence and leadership abilities.
