→Examples: It does not rise to the level of these examples, which are not about winning one election but are clear-cut examples of extreme deceit, often for its own sake
:::: I wasn't talking about the type of the deceit so much as the quantity; having twenty examples seems like overkill. As for the variety of deceit, I'm obviously not going to argue that liberals aren't more likely to be deceitful than your average person. However, its not like they have a monopoly on deceit either, and being deceitful isn't a prerequisite for being a liberal. You can also just be misguided. As for non-liberal deceit, there are plenty of examples. What about watergate?--[[User:JacobX|JacobX]] 19:38, 28 November 2009 (EST)

::::: The nature of politics is inherently deceitful. Watergate was similar in many ways to what many other politicians have done, and will continue to do. It does not rise to the level of these examples, which are not about winning one election but are clear-cut examples of extreme deceit, often for its own sake. Also, by the way, many of the players in the Watergate scandal were liberal, even though Republican.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 19:57, 28 November 2009 (EST)
