Politicians, who I guess only want to fill in their pockets and want that the world and their country should suffer are the most suspicious skums of all. They create incidents out of no-where just to earn fame and win votes. They must be put under vigilance everytime.

There should be an investigative commitee to determinme whether their (politicians) actions are valid and warranted. This way the decision is not left up to the politicians and their so called advisors. Half the time I think that the "intelligence" they "gather" is either scripted, made up , or false. Now watch I get drafted for just writing this. later.

Okay, no.  That would be a tad bit creepy.  Also, very undignified.  I would never vote for anyone if they acted like that and then decided to run for a position in the government.  I am impressed that you took the time to type that entire thing in ghetto-speak though.  Rather nice.

I think you should get on TV and be the next Benny Hinn or R.W. Schambach. There's a lot of money to be made in giving people false hope, exploiting the desperate, and decieving, if it were possible, even the very elect.

Nowadays and it has seemed since the birth of democracy here in the United States, the government has always been susceptible to being held by people(s) who were either only seeking money, or fame, or power but really didn't care about the people and I think we have a growing number of those type of people running our government. They either don't give a shit about the issues or have a totally f'd up point of view on it. They become rich and most are egotistical bastards and there is a reason why they give tax cuts to the rich and tax incentives to them. Because they benefit too and so do their relatives, who are usually wealthy. They are not for the people. So if he is in government and he is like most politicians then he is a "sgusting shitpile liar" like you so eloquently put. When I say most, I mean most, not all. Not all people in politics and government at any level are corrupt. There are good apples in the bunch but they usually get eaten by the snakes.

I believe most politicians have nothing but the desire to the power. They will smile and tell you what you want to hear and in many instances do something totally against their beliefs just to keep their power. And they actually have some people believing that they CARE.\nI find it hard to believe that the vast majority of the politicians would do much if anything to jeporadize their position in government.\nTo be honest, over the years of following politics to a certain degree, I think most would sell out there own mother rather than lose the power. When they start talking about they want to do what's best for this country or for the children I have to laugh. They are doing simply what is best for THEMSELVES and nothing more. If they thought voting a certain way might help the people of this country but a chance of voting that way might make them lose their position,I don't think they would have to hesitate too long on how to vote. NOT ALL politicians, but a pretty big percent I would say fall in this category. Too bad, isn't it!

I dont think there are no truthful politicians left.  the American public is just too stupid to see through the bs that the liars spew and vote for them.  A truthful politician has no chance in todays society.

You don't think these things already happen?!  They do!!!\nThey just have publicity consultants to help them put on a good face.  They do not care about these things when it comes to voting on certain laws.  they are more concerned with how they appear and how fat their wallets are getting.  Many politicians have children who are drug addicts, they just throw them in rehab and forget that the problem is there.  most of the wives are alcoholics and the politicians themselves have been found to cheat, do drugs, and all kinds of stuff....\n\nNO ONES life is easy.  But I would NEVER wish harm to anyone!  they will bring it on themselves.\n\nThey are not looking at the few (well, in this country there are more then a few) who actually NEED help.  They are forced to look at the more profitable resources...Keep the rich, rich and ignore the fact that there are poor!

You are so correct and good to see that someone recognizes that there should be a amount of personal responsibility within politics. If Politicians were accountable for their actions on a yearly basis just like companies...He wouldn't have a JOB would he....duhh.....He has no reason in today's climate to carry the burden of responsibility. His spin doctors will push any necessary blame onto others.

Politics is a big money shell game\n\nThe politicians have to court the special interest groups that financed them\n\nNo one is held accountable any more\n\nIt is our age of " Enlightenment"

Because politicians really don't care about the people or the earth.  They just care about getting their money and pleasing certain people to get their vote.

it is a political terminology and it is the primary reason you can't trust politicians. When someone will go to the trouble to "snake" their district around to cherry pick only those voters that will vote favorably for them then you have to consider that politician a "snake in the grass"...~

If our leaders are elected by the people, and corporations form to fill needs of consumers, which is sort of the same as the people, then we live in the world of our choosing. Sleeping in the bed we've made is tougher than making it, though...can you handle the truth about how selfish and belligerent and stupid people can be...there is no perfect world, and this one is a challenge sometimes. But, if you do right, save a little money, and avoid being an ignorant jackass, maybe try and help others here and there, you'll get further in life, I think...one thing to keep in mind when you read the news is that people do some stupid stuff out there for money. Most countries use money, and most countries have people that do stupid stuff in exchange for money. Be smart about what YOU do, and support/vote for candidates that show the same character. If that doesn't work, there's always recall elections...or move to tanzania...

i disagree with you...but i think we should be looking at any public office holder often to make sure they are making the lives of the people they serve better....not the corps or lobbyists....\nthe normal everyday people whos lives they have power over.

May be they lost the faith in the system,and staying home make the things more complicated.If the politicians Knew that 100% of voters are going to vote they will surely behave in another way and will not take any thing for granted.

I think that, one way or another, there are some politicians in every government who are going to mis-use the revenues of the country.  Personal gain can come by them taking the actual money or as is the case in the U.S. the politicians pass laws to spend money on groups they want to get votes from.  It is called buying power or buying votes.

Bottom line:\n\nThere are politicians out there that are more concerned in getting re-elected to office then in providing for the safety of our great land.\n\nTed Kennedy, John Kerry and the likes should be tried for treason.
