I really f*cking hate politicians

I know that's a sweeping generalisation and undoubtedly most politicians are sincere and wish nothing but the best for the electorate. However I do think that when interviewed the majority of them come across as right wankers. I don't know how others feel but generally when i see one interviewed or spewing the part line it makes me cringe

That of course is a joke comment Losty??
This guy is as sincere as a mass murderer and most of the others are not a lot better. Have you forgotten their lies over their expenses?

A tosser of the highest order. wink

I have to agree with Kenty on the sincerity of the majority. Did you hear GB speaking today on the release of the Lockerbie bomber......didn't he sound sincere!!

Funnily enough, the most sincere politicians are frequently the liars.
People are so easily fooled, they want to believe what they hear.
Benjamin Franklin had it right:

Believe none of what you hear and half of what you see

Most people, if not all, vote for the good of their money.
Then moan about the harm to their freedom.
Another B. Franklin quote (it's Ben week at jts towers):

They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety

Not to worry. As I near the end of my life I realise that all my life I have voted for fools and liars. This worried me considerably, until I realised that the only people available to vote FOR are politicians. By definition: liars.
It matters not whether they are left of centre and telling you the poor have to be allowed to live some sort of life; or right of centre telling you the rich have to be allowed to live some sort of life. The only life they are really interested in is theirs, and living it at your expense.

I think it was Plato that said only people that didn't want the job should have the job. The only reason they would accept it is because it's for the best.
This civilisation doesn't seem to allow that kind of thinking, which is why one can safely assume any random politician is in it for money and power.

I occasionally despair at their unwillingness to do the right (but unpopular thing) but don't care about them enough to build up any worthwhile personal animosity......with certain prominent exceptions

You can trust an MP as much as you can trust a car salesman selling you a second hand car ?? ...

The misconception is that they work for us, the reality is that they are in it totally and unreservedly for themselves.
Money, power, the ability to change the law of the land to suit themselves.
I too despise politicians.
