All Politicians Are Liars


It's easy to tell a career politician from an honest citizen who gets elected. The honest citizen runs saying this is not for me. I love the ones who say, "I'm different from all the rest. You can trust me." Jessica Mitford's observation is helpful: "You can't change the world, but you can embarrass the guilty." Without getting elected you can see them for what they are. They are friendly, they like people, and they like to help people. But they are also crooks, liars, and thieves. They all just want to get in on the action. It is now a business.
