How could a Politician be anything BUT a liar?
Th' idea that a politician could be anything other than a deceitful and crooked slimeball is (& always has been) a concept totally foreign to me. Doesn't matter to me if it was Bush, Ray-Gun, Harry Tee, or Billy-willy-nilly. When you're paid to "please" (?appease?) everyone in th' country, you can't HELP but be a liar! In order to "get those votes", you must intentionally deceive very different types of people - & make 'em feel GOOD about being lied to! WHEN he lied about "who plooked who", or what else he's lied about over these many long years (in th' nation's capitol, or in Ar-kansas) is a moot point to me... I full-well expect ANY politician to try & lie his (or her) way out of sticky wickets. That brings me to my point, one you've heard me rave & rant about for many years now. Politicians have NO BUSINESS BEING IN GOVERNMENT "SERVICE". Our best bet would to be to "un-hire" anyone who WANTS to be in a public office. Their desire to be in such a position automatically makes them suspect. I believe the only way to create a government that's responsive to people's needs is to run a national DRAFT for those offices that have (always) been considered "political" ones. Th' first requirement is that if they WANT to be there - they should NOT be there! IF they get caught (literally) with their "fly open" (or in any other situation that could compromise our national "integrity") - they're OUT! That means, of course, that (most) folks who are in such a position would not last very long - after all, we ARE human! The honorable ones (few that there may be) might last a little longer, but there would be severe limits on terms in office. In fact, I rather suspect that most folks placed in a position like this would be CLAMORING to get OUT of it just as soon as humanly possible. There would be little attraction in such an office... long hours, hard work & no "extra" money to be made (shady land deals, abuse of power & all th' rest of th' corruption that comes with our present system). Will it happen? Am I (just) dreaming? Well, I'm a performing artist - I'm ALWAYS dreaming. That does NOT mean somethin' like this can't happen, though. I think it's very important for us to do SOMETHING to build in a little respect for those in (what are supposed to be) public service positions - & a national DRAFT for them is th' only way (I can think of) to make sure it happens!
