Keep in mind who he is lying to. Normal people who are paying attention really have stopped believing them. Cheney went on the Rush Limbaugh show and repeated this lie. So basically he is lying to people who don't mind if he lies to them.
This is in fact a plea for the die hard republican stalwarts to take up this lie and repeat it as if it were fact. If you get enough liars to say the same thing then somehow it is supposed to sway public opinion. It worked for Goebbels, but then again he had a wildly popular fuhrer.

This is not entirely accurate. While there are a few die hards who stalwartly believe the statements from the administration, there are a whole lot more people who don't even bother to vote, not listening anyway. The problem isn't the faithful democrats or republicans who are voters, the fault lies with the majority who can't even tear themselves away from american idol long enough to pay attention to issues and/or vote.
