Are top Republicans mostly con-artists or do they really believe the stuff they say? [View all]

I have been wondering this recently about the people who have influence in the GOP. They get caught in misleading statements all the time such as their favorite one about Obama's "out of control spending" (even though he has spent less than every president since the mid 20th century), and how he wants to redistribute wealth to those who they feel don't deserve it.

What is your opinion: are the Reds just trying to lie to low-info voters since they have no decent policies to offer, or do they themselves truly believe those ludicrous assertions?
