The minimum prerequisite for being a politician, one must be a liar and a crook.
Other things like cheating on one’s spouse, being a sexual pervert, doing drugs, doing bodily harm to one’s opponent, etc. are added bonuses for the job.
Also to razzle dazzle the public. I am just so disgusted at the whole thing. All show and no go is the key, and to be able to convince the public into beleiving everything they say. Quite Pathetic really. My God, what will be the future of all of us? In my opinion, it seems the body politic gets worse every cycle.
