Another thing you got to understand is that its politics the way its set up they NEED TO LIE on certain things just to get the job. We need to accept that part for what it is. If you can see through that then you look at the core of each candidate and what kind of person you think he is and who he needs to please to get re-elected. If he needs to please people like you (his base) to get re-elected then that's your candidate.
Each party has they're base, all the bullshit and politics during an election is to sway the retards, people who share both views, and the people who barly pay attention. If you can promise a few things that will sway those people then you win the election.
