It all stems from the fact that when honest politicians tell the truth,

they get
voted out of office. The truth sometimes hurts. Jimmy Carter can attest to

what
happens when you run a truthful political campaign.


You mean the truth according to Jimmy Carter? Putting aside the subjective
nature of "truth", you are wrong that he lost because of his campaign. He
lost because he was a terrible leader and inept to boot. History will not
judge his presidency kindly.
