I didn't know that we were electing Machiavelli for president, but Machiavelli and Hills are a good comparison - the ends always justifies the means. I'm appalled, but not necessarily surprised, that you'd actively promote lies as a means to accomplish a political goal. Thought Dems were a bit more principled than that.
