1. well, only if you're one of the chosen... if you're one of the little people, it's called perjury
or fraud, and it usually ends with the little person spending the next few years in prison.

But if you happen to be a member of the political sect, it's the opposite.

2. Well, there is no law against it, but there a lot of voters who don't
like liars. If you get tagged as a serial liar, then it hurts you. Look at Al Gore. They repeated the mantra that he was a liar, even though he wasn't. If McPhalin get tagged as serial liars, then it will hurt them bad. And it won't be a lie about their lies, like it was with Gore.

10. Your thesis is not borne out by the last two presidential elections.
They lied and they won.

We were honest and we lost.

4. There is no pealty for lying. Right on. Everyone who sees
a misleading or lying ad DO NOT SEE MEDIA TRYING TO CORRECT IT and
a LOT DO NOT BELIEVE THE MEDIA.

My party simply has to learn one thing: Republicans do not play
by the Marquis of Queensbury Rules. They play to win. If Dirty
is required they do dirty.

Crying unfair only makes us look like whiners.

9. Actually, there is only reward. The more sensational the better, that way it will get more media
coverage. We could really play the Cindy pill story that way if we were mean and nasty. I bet it could lead to McCain blowing his stack.

12. But apparently there is a penalty for
speaking the truth about McCain's inability to use a computer.
