Actually, the "Good Book" tells us that everyone is a liar, and I don't disagree.
By your criteria, there would be no way to evaluate a candidate until they actually took office. What I would like to point out is that you actually do the things you say that you aren't doing in this case. In this instance, you have just chosen to exclude adultery.
One thing you need to see that there is a difference between someone who has told a lie (everyone), and someone that is a willful, consistent liar (not everyone).
