I think it is inappropriate to consider any politician as lying. By definition politicians just cannot understand the truth. I mean is a kleptomaniac really a shoplifter when they cannot have individual control over that behavior?

Kleptomania is something someone has no individual control over, yet we elect to criminalize it and thus make felons out of those people. However politicians are different they are usually law school graduates and trust fund babies from the upper echelons of society.

Why would people even consider they should be treated as ordinary members of society. These people have absolutely no reality connection to the truth as professional politicians, so why do people keep saying they expect that ?

The Nazi Joseph Goebbels said to paraphrase; ' keep telling lies until people believe your version as truth ' . . .

Here are some other famous quotes from the " Dean of Politics " ; enjoy : )
