Politicians have to believe their own BS to get elected. They also have to be

their BS all those voters who will fall for a con.<br>

I met both these men when they were candidates--I knew Brady wouldn't get
elected because <br>
he was a real person. While being near Butch raised the hair on the back of my
neck, I looked<br>
at the folks around him and knew they were believing everything he said and
inventing wonders<br>
he hadn't said, and I knew he was gonna get elected. People love to be lied to.
Just look at <br>
those (fewer than six months ago!) Bushites---they know he's a damn liar, but
they don't care.<br>
They will invent their own story to justify his lies because they can't admit
they were conned.<br>
<br>
Also keep in mind that the easiest person to con is a con artist...they do
believe there is a <br>
