Members of Congress lying through their teeth no longer consider their lies a breach of ethics; hence, most people would answer YES to Alan Carubas title question:
My first answer would be It depends on who is doing the talking.
Selling and lying are the same thing; so my second answer is an unequivocal YES when politics is mixed with selling.
NOTE: Caveat emptor is meaningless when the buyer is forced to buy. This gem from Steny Hoyer speaks for every Democrat member of Congress:
Lying to sell the ACA is a well-known destructive marriage between selling and politics:
My only objection to the above is that members of Congress told a lot more lies in order to sell the ACA than did Taqiyya the Liar. To be fair, the ACA liars in Congress were all Democrats. Not so with amnesty for illegals. As impossible as it sounds, Republicans in both Houses are lying more than Democrats on that issue. Democrats are lying about items like closing the borders, etc., but thy are not lying to their base. Republicans are lying about everything to everybody.
Taqiyya the Liar sees himself as a super-salesman who can sell anything:
Combine Taqiyyas self-importance with Islams taqiyya and you end up with a full-blown pathological liar:
Civil servants should not have to lie. The fact is: Civil servants are bigger liars today than they were before they had unions. One would think that their unions would protect them when they told the truth, yet they only encourage them to lie, and protects them when they do lie. Basically, liars do not need whistle blower laws.
NOTE: The first whistle blower law was passed in 1788.
Todays civil servants lie to advance and protect their careers, and are expected to lie for whatever politicians are selling at the moment.
High-ranking liars are in charge of civil servants. Suzy Five Shows is only one of the upper-echelon of liars involved in lying about the attack in Benghazi:
In other words: What difference does lying make?
IRS civil servants lying to harm the Democrat partys political opponents has become all-too-common:
The longest running lies
Its difficult to pin down when environmental lies began, but they gave the country the EPA in 1970. The origin of Cap & Trade lies (emissions trading) began in the 1980s. The Clintons and Al Gore came along and elaborated on the lie. Taqiyya the Liar furthers the lies demonstrating that lies are passed along from one president to another whenever selling and politics unite.
EPA civil servants lie about everything in order to sell the United Nations to the American people. In effect, the EPA is a United Nations agency using the Clean Air and Clean Water Acts to sell UNs agenda:
Finally, open-borders, the EPA, and BLM land grabs, are creating a shortage of land available for the publics use. Think what that will do to the price of an ordinary building lot as tens of millions are crammed into small enclaves not to mention the tax revenues state and local governments will rake in. My point: Congress supports every bit of it.
Are Lying and Politics the Same Thing?
My first answer would be It depends on who is doing the talking.
Selling and lying are the same thing; so my second answer is an unequivocal YES when politics is mixed with selling.
NOTE: Caveat emptor is meaningless when the buyer is forced to buy. This gem from Steny Hoyer speaks for every Democrat member of Congress:
House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) said that the individual health insurance mandates included in every health reform bill, which require Americans to have insurance, were like paying taxes. He added that Congress has broad authority to force Americans to purchase other things as well, so long as it was trying to promote the general welfare.
The Congressional Budget Office, however, has stated in the past that a mandate forcing Americans to buy health insurance would be an unprecedented form of federal action, and that the government has never required people to buy any good or service as a condition of lawful residence in the United States.

Lying to sell the ACA is a well-known destructive marriage between selling and politics:
Considering that all but the most dense know that President Obama is now famous for lying repeatedly to secure public support for the Affordable Care Act If you like your plan, you can keep your planwe are all at a point of history in which this contemptible behavior by the President is being replicated by Democratic Party politicians seeking to be elected or reelected.
XXXXX
The reason we keep reading and hearing about the lies pouring forth from the administration and the Democratic Party these days all lead back to its leader, Barack Obama.
It is not even a matter of speculation that he is lying, but pay attention to the way members of the nations press almost never use the words lie or lying. Instead we hear and read synonyms like falsehood and untruths. No, they are LIES.
My only objection to the above is that members of Congress told a lot more lies in order to sell the ACA than did Taqiyya the Liar. To be fair, the ACA liars in Congress were all Democrats. Not so with amnesty for illegals. As impossible as it sounds, Republicans in both Houses are lying more than Democrats on that issue. Democrats are lying about items like closing the borders, etc., but thy are not lying to their base. Republicans are lying about everything to everybody.
Taqiyya the Liar sees himself as a super-salesman who can sell anything:
Berry recounted meetings with White House officials, reminiscent of some during the Clinton days, where he and others urged them not to force Blue Dogs off into that swamp of supporting bills that would be unpopular with voters back home.
Ive been doing that with this White House, and they just dont seem to give it any credibility at all, Berry said. They just kept telling us how good it was going to be. The president himself, when that was brought up in one group, said, Well, the big difference here and in 94 was youve got me. Were going to see how much difference that makes now.

Combine Taqiyyas self-importance with Islams taqiyya and you end up with a full-blown pathological liar:
Most westerners are acquainted with lying that characterize many politicians, salesman and folks of low character, generally. But we are not readily willing to accept the concept of lying being associated with a religion. Sadly, taqiyya is integral to Islam. That is what makes its use by Muslims against westerners so effective: We don't readily realize or admit such practice exists.

Practically, taqiyya is any form of lying, deceit, misleading, half-truths or related practices condoned by Islamic doctrine to further the growth of Islam or to protect the individual from harm. Taqiyya is one of the reasons we are "surprised" by acts of violence or terror from those previously considered to be "moderate" Muslims.

High-ranking liars are in charge of civil servants. Suzy Five Shows is only one of the upper-echelon of liars involved in lying about the attack in Benghazi:
The Obama first and current terms are monuments of lies. The most blatant, prior to the 2012 elections, was to claim that the Sept. 11 attack that killed our ambassador to Libya and three security personnel was a spontaneous demonstration based on a video regarding Mohammed. As we know, that was a blatant lie, but in her testimony before a congressional committee then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton famously asked What difference does it make?
In other words: What difference does lying make?
IRS civil servants lying to harm the Democrat partys political opponents has become all-too-common:
It is the constant cascade of lies that distinguishes the Obama administration and another example is that of Lois Lerner, on leave from the Internal Revenue Service and likely subject to a contempt of Congress citation after it has become obvious that she was a key player in the deliberate effort to deny tax exempt status to patriot, tea party, or other conservative organizations that need it to raise funds.

If the BLM could make any claim to being good stewards of the land that belongs to the federal government one might be more sympathetic, but the BLM is small potatoes compared to the avalanche of lies that pours forth from an Environmental Protection Agency that feels free to reinterpret the Clean Air and Clean Water Acts any way they want. The EPA has recently requested jurisdiction over all public and private streams in the U.S. that are intermittent, season and rain-dependent; in short, every drop of water on every inch of land.
