Republicans, Democrats, Independents, Libertarians, Greens--come one, come all and let us scour our memories (and exercise Google) and list famous lies by politicians. I'll get it started.
LBJ:
"The North Vietnamese regime have conducted further deliberate attacks against U.S. Naval vessels operating in international waters" (Gulf of Tonkin.)
"We are not about to send American boys 10,000 miles away to do what Asian boys ought to be doing."
Nixon:
"I can categorically state that no one in the White House staff, no one in this administration, was involved in this bizarre incident." (The break in at the Watergate Hotel)
"I am not a crook."
Reagan:
"Once we have developed SDI, will give the technology to the Soviets, and the rest of the world."
"We did not, repeat did not, trade weapons or anything else for hostages."
"Trees cause more air pollution than cars do."
Reagan said he helped liberate the Auschwitz death camp and had taken footage of the atrocities.
George Bush Sr.:
"Read my lips, no new taxes."
Bill Clinton:
"The era of big government is over."
"I did not have sexual relations with that woman... Miss Lewinsky. "
George W. Bush:
"I had a temporary assignment in the National Guard in Alabama and fulfilled my weekends at one period of time."
"Saddam Hussein has weapons of mass destruction." (He gave a list in the 2003 SotU address)
"Mission Accomplished."
"There is a connection between Saddam Hussein and Al Qaeda."
"We found the weapons of mass destruction."
Barack Obama:
"Fast and Furious began under the Bush administration."
"I will close Guantanamo within six months of being elected."
"I didn't raise taxes once. I lowered taxes over the last two years."
"The vast majority of money I get is from small donors from all across the country."
Signed an extension of the Patriot Act after repeatedly saying he opposed it.
"Republicans say no to everything, in fact, since 2007 they have filibustered over 500 pieces of legislation that would have helped the middle class."
"I wasn't specifically referring to ISIL as a JV team."
"Actually, my position on immigration executive action has not changed."
"If you like your health care plan, you can keep it."
