I think it is high time we put an end to all of lies by politicians. How is it that each one can tell us opposite stories, yet they are all right? They can not all be right while telling different tales. How do we go about forcing them to tell us the truth? I have an idea. We should make it a law that anytime a politician is speaking on behalf of, or about the government, in any form or venue, that they are under oath. Whether it be a campaigning, a political ad, a speech on the congressional floor, a photo op, a press release or communication with a lobbyist, or anyone else, they are under oath. If they violate this oath, they are then subject to the penalty of perjury. I feel that this should help. While we are at it, why not stiffen the penalty for perjury to something like 25 years mandatory for first offense, and double it for each subsequent offense? Let America hear the truth - not the partisan lies and half truths.
