If you tell the truth you get into trouble, and that's why politicians are extremely dull.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think the truth is always interesting, but with politicians, you don't get to see much of that.
Politicians often lie.
One of the reasons people hate politics is that truth is rarely a politician's objective. Election and power are.
To be fair, lying is part and parcel of public life. Every politician has lied about something because they are owned by the special interest groups that finance their elections.
I could never be a career politician, because I believe in telling the truth.
In politics, sometimes you have to lie, or you make a promise that you cannot keep.
Politicians, it's in their job description to just lie, every day.
Politicians are masters of the art of deception.
Politicians are better liars than writers.
The one thing I was always told is you absolutely have to tell truth to power. Whether you're a second lieutenant working with a captain and a lieutenant colonel, or a four-star general working with the Office Secretary of Defense and the White House, the decision makers have got to have ground truth.
