Why are politicians so desperate to get elected that they would lie?

I’ve decided to pick on Senator Warren. Here’s an example of one of her ultra liberal rants.

I heard lots of propaganda in that speech and submit the idea that people that polarized are part of the problem with this country. Although the subjects would obviously differ, why is that sort of speech any different than a propaganda spewing Republican blowhard? Do you think you could honestly rely on her to make an impartial decision, on anything? She’s about as diplomatic as a rabid piranha.

“On November 6, 2012, Warren defeated incumbent Scott Brown with a total of 53.7% of the votes.” ~Wikipedia. To further illustrate whether or not someone this polarized can effectively represent her constituents she won by a small margin. Do you think she’s going to go out of her way to see that the needs of the others (almost half) of her state are met?

Boston is a very liberal city. The outlying area and Western mass tends to be conservative. She rallied votes in the Midwestern part by claiming to be a church going Methodist. Of course that was a load of crap but she got the moderate folks off the fence in her favor. Tell the people what they want to hear and they will vote!

How has she promoted Christianity since moving to Washington? How is this type of strategy any different than what the other side does? Now back to that speech, would she have made that, while campaigning in central Massachusetts?

Of course Republicans and Democrats are different. But their tactics are the same. Their sponsors are the same (see below link) and their corruption and greed are the same. I was born in Massachusetts so this one hit home a little.

What can we the people do about this? Is anyone in office today actually working for the people?

The numbers are HUGE!

As long as it’s all about the money they will never work for us.
