He said something to me the other day that I've been pondering ever since. It was something along the lines of "I'd rather have a liar as president whose policies I agree with, than an honest politician whose policies I don't agree with."

You started with: "he is a hardcore religious type" and that explains everything. To be hardcore religious, you have to possess a certain skill which is :
the complete and utter lack of critical thinking.
To be able to completely ignore all arguments and to hold on to an ideology into which you were indoctrinated as a child requires absolute willpower to not put into question your own beliefs regardless of overwhelming evidence right in front of you.
Apply this to politics and you'll see how his quote makes sense.
