Why do politicians lie?

Blogging in regards to the question posted in class of why do politicians lie, I think we covered most of the reasons, power, the idea of appealing to voters they don't usually connect with by making up stories, or possibly just human nature. As I stated in previous blogs I was a John Edwards fan, when he fell out I started supporting Hilary because I like her experience, well it turned out her experience paid off in the form of her being more of a "politician". The story of her in Bosnia was ridiculous, I hate it, I can't stand the thought of her concisely lying. This question and the questions around it, who is uncovering these lies, the public or media made me think about my generation becoming presidential age. Image the type of things people are going to have to just be comfortable with their presidential candidate doing in their past. Facebook alone has enough to sink my ship, add to that my myspace profile and these sporadically updated blogs and there is enough hate that my family wouldn't consider me a good candidate for the White House janitor position. The boozing and fraternizing will prevail through candidates, image Bush's facebook profile, the picture, what hes doing, his name, "George "Bad Ass" Bush". I am ending this blog immediately because I could go on for pages about what his facebook profile would contain!!
