Have we noticed that any kind of lie or deception is met with, "oh, governments are always that way."

"oh, he is so smart and is the best politician of our time."
"oh, she is so tough and smart with her blue collar background."
"oh, we must invade because of the WMD's."
"oh, we must stay to make sure the area is stable."
"oh, did you hear about the riots?"
