I think a big moment for lying, was Obama's "If you like your doctor, you can keep them" statement. I like Obama. He seems like a decent enough fellow with good intentions. Other people like him even more.
So when someone that highly regarded just blatantly lies like he did, I think the expectation for any sort of truth in politics was put to rest.
