but I'm curious how "we're doomed" will play itself out.
For one, it will prove beyond a reasonable doubt that politicians don't have to hide their lies. No longer will it be some "secret" that only people like us see. No, everyone sees this son of a bitch lie, on a national stage, then goes on to get away with it. It will prove that politicians can be openly and publicly two faced.
Ok, maybe not doomed, but it's one hell of a scary precedent.

True, to an extent. But when their entire campaign flip flops on every position to the extent that they pretend they never held those positions and 95% of what they say in a presidential debate is fact checked to be false, that is a far cry from a few "lies".
Or are you saying Obama is just as much of a liar as Mittens?
