What percent of what politicians say is true?

Question

Answer in a format exactly like below (no rants or long tirades please):

Republicans - 50% (examples only)
Democrats - 50% (examples only)

Answer 1

Very good question. Not easy to answer. I think the best thing is to look at the person's character. Let's use our current president for example. He is a Christian. He has firm beliefs in taking a stand for life. He is strong, unwaivering, decent. So the odds of getting a true answer from President George W. Bush are very good.

Answer 2

Republicans - 50%
Democrats - 50%

But it all depends upon which side of their mouth they are speaking from.

Answer 3

Republicans- 1%
Democrats- 1%
Libertarians- 40%
Greens- 2%
Other- 2%

Answer 4

Republicans - 25%
Democrats - 35%

Answer 5

I would give democrats a 35% and republicans 15%.

Answer 6

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with inherent and inalienable rights; that among these, are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; that to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed; that whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.
