Politicians are like dogs... Their life expectancy is too short for a commitment to be bearable

About This Quote

When politicians say they're going to do something, they don't always follow through. A lot of people find that a bit disappointing. They think that if a politician says they're going to do something, then they should do it. But the truth is, most politicians are like dogs too.

They can't be trusted to keep their word. They'll tell you one thing, and then change it as soon as you let your guard down. And they don't really care about you at all, since you're just a number to them.

So if you ask a politician to make a promise, just remember that they're going to break it, and there's nothing you can do about it.
