Hunting Quotes
Where can I find some good quotes on lies politicians have told?
I am writing a paper on the illusion of honesty is our government. I need some quotes of lies that have been told to us.
I have a few, and I know some quotes but I (obviously) need a source. I have been hunting around on google…but no luck yet.
Thanks

There’s an awesome book “When Presidents Lie: A History of Official Deception and Its Consequences” by Eric Alterman that details the five greatest lies ever told: FDR and the Yalta Conference, JFK and the Cuban missle crisis, LBJ and the Gulf of Tonkin, Reagan and the Iran-Contra scandal, and of course a section on Bush in general.
