About This Quote

I cannot stand the term politician, because it implies that they are somehow more noble than the rest of us. The term politician implies that they are somehow more honest than the rest of us. This is patently absurd. Politicians lie to us all the time.

Politicians are paid to lie to us by the very people who benefit from their lies. Politicians will say whatever is necessary to get themselves elected (or re-elected). Politicians will say whatever is necessary to ensure that they get their way (or ensure that they get re-elected).

Politicians will even lie about what they did when they were in office--whether it be selling drugs while in office or selling weapons while in office--in order to get themselves elected (or re-elected).
