A cynic who believes all leaders are basically the same lying jerk has
something in common with a very naive person who believes all leaders are
truthful and equally virtuous, neither bothers to examine the evidence. But
I'm a fan of the scientific method and that's why I'm a skeptic but not a
cynic.
