If a dude's going to cheat on one oath, odds are, he'll cheat on others. - Will Hunting Jun 6, 13:03 5

  - Let's say your 50% is right. There's 250mil of-age people in this nation to represent us - Will Hunting Jun 6, 13:08 1
    - I think the political pool has a much higher percentage of the cheaters. - ty97 Jun 6, 13:17

  - I think Tommy J might be more the standard being followed here. - TWuG Jun 6, 13:06 2
    - Just saying, if "I can not tell a lie" had never been said, we might be a bit more European about this stuff. -- nm - Spawn Jun 6, 13:13 1

- This is what you're choosing to be an optimist about? Honest, non-adulterous politicians? - ty97 Jun 6, 13:04 1
  - i'm not as pessimistic as you about all politicans being dishonest non-cheaters. you get a biased sample because the media only does stories about - moles Jun 6, 13:07
