I just disagree and the main reason I do is that we can't trust the people/agencies that will be tasked with doing the vetting.

I don't blame you for that thought; but if we don't conduct things like elections by a set of rules, standards, and procedures, we are a banana republic. It appears we require more formal proof of eligibility from voters than we do the candidates. It's wrong to hold the governed to higher standards that those who would govern them. We aren't going to fix the issue with agencies who would be tasked with vetting candidates without putting better people in office. Maybe it's just time for the Tree of Liberty to get a new bath.

So to be clear, but if someone lies during their campaign, they need to be investigated for fraud, campaign finance or removed from office? Is this what the consensus is right now?

Doesn't look like it's the consensus, but it probably should be. Of course, I'd have to agree with NurseGoodVol - we'd have nobody at all in office - politician and liar are inseparable.

Santos will fit right in with the current GOP platform - facts and truthfulness are frowned upon, alternative facts are now the lynchpin of the platform.

They're all liars.
The biggest liar in this thread is the one pretending there is a biggest one.

“My sins here are embellishing my résumé,” Mr. Santos told The New York Post in one of several interviews he gave on Monday.

Mr. Santos admitted to lying about graduating from college and making misleading claims that he worked for Citigroup or Goldman Sachs. He once said he had a family-owned real estate portfolio of 13 properties; on Monday, he admitted he was not a landlord.

That's not "embellishment." That's just being a total liar and fraud. There has to be some element of truth for it to be embellished. If there's no core of truth, it's just a lie.

They’re all lies, including Biden’s “embellishment” or “incorrect memory”. He sure has a lot of those. Santos lied and so have many others. The problem is how do you hold Santos accountable when no one else has been to this point? The people haven’t demanded better and it’ll never change until we do.

I wish the left were this passionate about sniffing out liars in all situations, rather than selectively based on what letter the person has beside their name.

I heard a statement this morning that made a lot of sense. Democrats and many on the left have no real ideology other opposition. This is why many for the most part parrot what they hear from their political party and mainstream media.
