Is English your second language? This might not translate but let me try...

Neither Obama nor Romney addressed how they would pay down debt or deficit. That's bullshit!
Both talked at some length about the Israeli situation, but we all know nothing is going to change there, so that's total bullshit.
All candidates throw around numbers all the time, like either percentages or dollar amounts, often in future tense, that are statistically framed to favour the orator. That's bullshit.
Candidates will say one thing to one audience and then something completely contrary to another crowd. That's bullshit.

Lying should be simply saying a falsehood, But quite often these lies are excused by simply having the wrong numbers/information in the notes in front of them.
"i did not have sex with that woman" was a lie until Clinton clarified that his definition of sex excluded blowjobs. So that's bullshit too.

Lies are only lies when they are admitted to be lies, Any good bullshitter should be able to talk their way most lies, well, just about any lie. And that's what politicians do best. Because they're awesome at bullshit.
