A problem with lies

Dear editor:

Regarding Mr. Edward K. "Rick" Cherry's letter to the editor of Oct. 19, 2016. Mr. Cherry states bluntly, "Yes, I have a problem with liars." As it happens, on that same Op-Ed page, columnist Kathleen Parker wrote: "For the record, Trump wins at liar's dice -- by a long shot, according to PolitiFact. At last count, Clinton has told the truth 65 percent of the time, compared with Trump at 12 percent. Clinton's statements have been 'mostly true' 73 percent of the time compared with Trump's 33 percent. In the 'pants-on-fire' category, meaning not just false but a baldfaced lie, Clinton scores 6 percent to Trump's 52 percent. At least he's winning at something."

Given that Mr. Cherry "has a problem with liars," I'm sure, given this new information, that we can expect his vote for Hillary Clinton.
