Bob Schieffer Sounds Off about Lying Politicians.

[s46d45m17]

The funny thing is peo[ple will run to the voting boothes and vote for who they think is the best like they were given a choice but in all reality the wealthy control this country as they do with many others there is no choice they all do what they are told to do by the wealthy that own them.

[SPAD58]

He asks "why is it so difficult for politicians to remember to be honest" and the answer is BECAUSE WE LET THEM GET AWAY WITH IT!!!!

[MrButch27]

Everyone lies. The bottom line the more money someone has usually keeps them above the law. I was born 1957. The only President kicked out of office was J.F.K. And the only reason he was is because he was assassinated. He was a liar also.

@MrButch27 Andrew Johnson, the seventeenth President of the United States, held office from 1865 to 1869, but his term was almost shorter as he became the first American President to be impeached.

In 1868 the House of Representatives impeached Andrew Johnson due to his views on the south and the Confederates, but he was acquitted by a single vote.

He's wrong people still vote so they do tolerate lying because every politician I ever heard was a liar.

[jagara1]

I think he's kind of missing the point completely - the only way you get power is by lying.

[yt5454]

He's wrong about Americans not tolerating lying politicians. Americans LOVE lying politicians. That's how conservatives keep getting elected.

[gosciu555]

all politicians from the machine are liars. when are people going to catch on.
