Quote by Chauncey Depew

If you will refrain from telling any lies about the Republican Party, I'lll promise not to tell the truth about the Democrats.

If you will refrain from telling any lies about the Republic

Summary

This quote playfully highlights the partisan nature of politics, suggesting that both sides often engage in exaggerations or misrepresentations to promote their agenda. It implies a bargain where the speaker, presumably from the Republican Party, asks for a ceasefire in spreading lies about their party in exchange for not exposing the truths about the Democrats. It underscores the notion that honesty in political discourse can be scarce, with each side focusing on undermining the other rather than having a balanced and truthful discussion.
