I have an impression that in today's political world, it is more advantageous for a politician to say what he or she truly believes, as opposed to what people want to hear, which was advantageous decades ago. For example, in the 2004 election, this issue helped Bush and hurt Kerry.

To what extent is this perception accurate or inaccurate?

Then how did saying "what people want to hear" hurt Kerry in 2004 while saying "what he believed" help Bush?
