I am not sure what the options were for this question. But it is standard political rhetoric, in which a negative claim (he has raised taxes, increased spending) is made about one's opponent, and he is then accused of lying-- not just to the people of his state but to the entire country. Exaggerated assertions, which are made to try to paint one's opponent as dishonorable, are very common in political speech.
