Using the word liar

Posted

To the Editor:

I heard the word liar used quite often during this campaign season by individuals who support one candidate or the other. When I hear someone mention that the candidate is a liar, I wonder if that individual ever told a few white lies or not so white lies.

When I questioned a friend who called a candidate a liar, I asked him if he had ever told a lie and he said yes, but that he was not running for office of the president or any other political office.

My answer to that was simply you are right, you’re not running for office. However, what was the consequence of your lie? Did it improve your personal agenda? Did it hurt someone close to you? Were you truthful with the IRS?

Stop using the word liar so loosely and just look in the mirror and vote for the most qualified individual.
