-Ambrose Bierce, American author (1842-?), from his book, The Devil's Dictionary
There was another Republican Presidential Debate last night. What was it, number three hundred and twenty-two? Anyway, political rhetoric was flying every which way and as I looked at all those smiling faces behind that row of lecture stands all I could think of were the lyrics to that old The Undisputed Truth song, Smiling Faces.
Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimesToday, as a public service, I am giving you the link to a website called PolitiFact. PolitiFact fact-checks the truthfulness of statements made by politicians. Finding a quick way to ferret out what is true and what is not inside the hyperbole of political campaigning is something we can all use in an election year crowed with contenders. If you are interested you can find last night's Republican debate fact checks here. Don't be fooled by the smiling faces.
They don't tell the truth, uh
Smiling faces, smiling faces
Tell lies and I got proof

I didn't watch the debate, but can see from the photo of the contestants that they were a happy bunch. Don't people know by now that liars are likeable? Which is why they smile too broadly and too often. Trying to con you into believing that they are on your side.
Funny, when you replace the world "liar" in you sentence with the world "politicians" your argument still holds up. ;)
I DID watch the debate, and La Peregrina is right on target with her post. Great video, too!
