Do All Politicians Lie, Care About Themselves?

Love the top answer - LOL!

Some actually care... Some just view it as a job or aka, give me my money and i'll do my best. While MOST are just power hungry.

I believe that the politicians that you've heard of " lie, and care about themselves"

I don't believe they started that way, but, the party turns them into that person ( if they want campaign funds ).

what would our politicians be like if there was no campaign money allowed to be spent, no pictures or news coverage allowed, only a bio, and a " this is what I stand for" statement?

All of them claim to care about the U.S.

Probably 10% know what self-sacrifice and patriotism is. These are the ones who care about individual liberty and the Constitution.

As for the others, just follow the money trail. God knows Eric Holder won't.

November 2010 can't come soon enough.

Unfortunately, the system has become so corrupted that the only way you can get elected is by promising anything and everything to people who don't have good intentions, but do have the money needed to run a campaign. So before they ever get elected they are beholding to someone - just not us.

It's sad.

Of course they do! How else would they really get paid? Especially the ones that come from humble beginnings. The ones walking into the job rich might be more about the power.

No...they are immune from those feeling after they successfully pass the bar and become lawyers who spend the rest of their lives doing the same thing.

there are several people in politics who appear to have good motives

Lindsey Graham, a republican, seems to be a patriot who cares about his country.

same with Obama and McCain

no obama seems to care about the US

there aren;t too many that come to mind but people today are cheered on for doing stupid **** while the ones doing good are cast into the shadow of society

DJ, you just described Obama

If you find a good one that doesn't lie, let me know...
