26. A politician lying or misleading the public for any reason

Apr 2013

would be punishable by life doing penal work to better the country.

It would fix so many problems, people would not believe that the Founding Fathers wanted a christian nation, we would have a universal health care system because the Repukes would not have scared everyone into thinking "DEATH PANELS", global warming would be getting fixed because people would actually believe its happening and want to do something about it, and plenty of other things that the right has mislead the public on in the past and caused us not to move forward.
