Politicians become successful by obtaining an elected position in public office. This requires a series of strategic lie telling in an utmost convincing manner. A successful politician must first tell a convincing series of lies to gain favor in a political party. Then, another series of lies must be told to financial backers to gain funds to run for a position in public office. Finally, a politician must tell another series of often conflicting lies to the general public to win votes for election. This process of successful lie telling eliminates all honesty from the profession, which has become a requirement of a position in public office.
Politicians will typically be very outwardly charismatic individuals possessing above average abilities to charm and persuade people. They seek positions in public office as a means of sidestepping laws and to gain personal profit while avoiding a possible life of crime as a con-man. Public office offers the opportunity to present ones self as an upstanding law abiding citizen while also offering ample opportunities to lie, accept bribes, steal money through misappropriated tax dollars, etc. Politics offers a successful career path for a pathological liar.

Get the Politicianmug. A person who has made a profession out of deceiving and controlling the masses by manipulating their emotions and exploiting their ignorance. All use common tactics of promising change, delivering moving speeches, and vehemently defending their positions (albiet without presenting any factual evidence) See Barack Obama or John McCain .
As long as Americans continue "following their hearts" and electing charismatic Politicians, they will continue to be ignored and misused by their government.
