[Quote No.30364] Need Area: Friends > General "It is a sad condemnation of political trust by politicians with their electorate, and vice versa, when jokes, like the following, become popular:- Q: How can you tell when a politician is lying? A: Their lips are moving! It would serve politicians well to not underestimate the maturity, competence and intelligence of their electorate and be truthful and frank at all times, while still being polite and diplomatic. Their public would respect them for it much more than their futile attempts at obfuscation and deception, which only make the electorate despise them and wish for their hasty removal. Politicians, however much they want public office, should never forget they are public servants and any attempt to deceive an employer, shows a defect of character that unquestionably disqualifies them from any position of responsibility or trust and warrants instant dismissal, if not legal prosecution." - Seymour@imagi-natives.com Author's Info on Wikipedia - Author on ebay - Author on Amazon - More Quotes by this Author Start Searching Amazon for Gifts Send as Free eCard with optional Google Image |
