It is simply not possible for the left to be honest about anything, their entire ideology/worldview/belief system/etc. is a lie. What else can they do? What else can they say? And even when they do hit the nail on the head - caring for the sick and the poor, being responsible stewards of the environment, the value of a good education, etc - their solutions to the problems are so asinine it's impossible to take them seriously. Sometimes I don't know if it's really truly dishonesty or if they're just completely detached from reality. Difficult to tell the difference sometimes, is it not?
