So,why aren't you in politics?

Question

It seems like one of the easiest ways in the world to become rich and get away with things.

Answer 1

there are those who do get rich from the power of their office and there are those who are already rich and,want to be watch dog over the corrupt ones.

also,there are those who just want to change laws in order to keep their crimes from being found out.

that is the majority of the corruption.

ie..democrats want to keep ROE v s.WADE legal so they can kill millions more unborn babies

Answer 2

Not all people are ready to lie all their life.

Answer 3

True that. Im a law student. i think i have the right idea. why go for silver, when you can have gold!

Answer 4

Because I'm an architect instead.

Answer 5

Too brutally honest I don't have the knack to lie or tip toe around subjects that are "sensitive" to others...I say what I mean.

Answer 6

I tried it once but only got 48% of the vote.  It cost a lot to run and lose, but it was fun while it lasted.

Answer 7

I am obsessed with politics, and I am majoring in journalism/minoring in political science.

I would never, ever run for office or become a politician myself. I just couldn't bulls**t people over and over, even if I wanted to. It's only a way to get rich if you're a corrupt official, but unfortunatly that's a normal occurance these days.

In my future journalism career, I'm going to hold politicians feet to the fire, and pledge to never let intimidation by campaign staff change my story :)

Answer 8

Why would I want to be answerable to hypocrites?

Tell the truth and you get slaughtered in the election.

Give up all your morals, lie and throw c***p at your opponent and you win in a landslide.

It's the electorate who are the problem.
