But I guess that leaves the Democrats out.

It's true that a liar is a liar. And all politicians lie. However, I think a lie about an affair doesn't compare to a series of lies that propels a nation into an unnecessary war where thousands of Americans die and over 84,000 Iraqi civilians loose their lives. Not to mention the diplomatic impact of the complete loss of U.S. creditability throughout the world and the creation of unprecedented anti-Americanism that is igniting a virtual "revival" of radical Islam throughout the Middle East and Asia.
Yes...a liar is a liar...but some lies are far worse than others. Let's face it...we're so misguided... we're more upset about a President having a mistress than we are that tens of thousands of civilians have been blown to shreds, over false claims and shaded intelligence. In my mind they don't compare.
