text: I dont believe that our politicians are liars any more than anyone else.  They probably live more honestly than most.  Anyhow, we live in whats known as a "representative republic".  That means our elected officials are chosen by whom best represents the people there, or at least the people that voted.  So, if you think all politicians are liars you can do two things:  1. be vocal about the fact that you want someone who is honest and will do what they say they will do (George W. Bush did do that look it up) and 2. you vote.  People often get the leadership they deserve.
