Politicians have to say a lot of things whether they mean them or not.

I like ex-New York Mayor Ed Koch's take on voting. "If you agree with me 51% of the time, vote for me. If you agree with me 100% of the time, see a psychiatrist."

Politicians do NOT have to run a dishonest campaign. They just can't help themselves. Inb4 the obligatory BoTh SiDeS comment.
