In my experience, none of the political leaders tell the truth ... I wasn't always this cynical but I've learned to not trust their words as I got older. I became "politically alert" during the Reagan years and didn't realize until much later that things weren't quite as rosy as his pleasant sounding speeches made him sound (he was a great communicator). I also thought Obama could have used his speaking ability to be a great president (he showed his chops as a junior senator). As far as opposing my beliefs, I think I'd like to be a libertarian and so, in general, they all oppose my beliefs? I guess it's a matter of which one least opposes them? Promotes my rights (to privacy!), etc. I used to think my best-case scenario in Washington was a grid-locked house and senate but that seems too optimistic now.
