Leaders world wide who have been lieing to thier ppls are bring brought down. Taiwan, Thailand, Hungary all these nations longing for keep corruption and lieing out of the government.
Seems they are understanding honest government more then we are.
Since when has it become acceptable for a government to lie? Have we become so desensitized to government lieing?
All started back with Kennedy in this Country, peaked with Nixon to which executive powers were cut, and now again at the greatest level of executive power with 0 accountability.
Anyone with further insight into this?

BUDAPEST, Sept. 19 — Prime Minister Ferenc Gyurcsany refused to resign today after his admission that he had lied about the economy to win election in April set off Hungary’s worst anti-government violence in 50 years. http://javascript<b></b>:pop_me_up2...00,scrollbars=yes,toolbars=no,resizable=yes')

Protesters clashed with the riot police in front of the state television building in Budapest on Tuesday night.
“The job of the institutions of the republic is now to strengthen people’s faith that calm can be restored,” Mr. Gyurcsany said at a news conference. “I am staying and I am doing my job.”
The riots Monday night, which left about 150 injured, raged into this morning outside the Hungarian state television building in central Budapest. They were the worst protests since 1956, when Soviet tanks crushed a popular uprising against the Communist regime. Tonight, thousands of people held a peaceful demonstration near the Hungarian Parliament.
The riots and protests exposed the fragility of the transition from totalitarian rule to democracy in Hungary and the rest of the region since the collapse of communism in 1989. Over the past year, national conservative and populist governments supporting slower reforms have been elected in Poland and Slovakia. - source
