1) The result of a sudden compulsion to
lie, embellish, deceive, pander, flip
flop, fake, or make up facts.

cynical assumption that voters are easily fooled and there will be no consequences.
Did you hear about the Romnincident where this
guy running for
office told Latinos to vote for him because he will make
Spanish the official language of the USA but then the very next day told the Jamaicans to vote for him because he'd make Patois the official language of the USA? What a douche!
