This might be a hard concept for most American to grasp but some politicians are "honest". According to this article 12% of Americans expect politicians to lie, but in general, Americans think that Obama's ads are a little more honest than Romney's, what? I find this concept to be a little naive. I'm one of the 12% of Americans that expect politicians to lie, and I don't think its smart to measure if someone is more honest than the other. I support Obama but that doesn't make him any less of a liar in my eyes than Romney. I don't measure him against Romney that way. They are both liars, and I thinks it unnecessary to smear another candidates campaign but I guess that's what I hate most about election time.
What do you guys think about the concept of politicians lying and the average American's desire to vote for someone on the basis of their integrity? Its a little ironic. I'm not talking about saying you are going to do something during the election and not being able to complete it during presidency, i'm talking about blatantly lying to smear someone else's campaign, or not checking the facts before televising ads.
