WHEN POLITICIANS LIE AND MEN TAKE IT LYING DOWN

WHEN POLITICIANS LIE AND MEN TAKE IT LYING DOWN

How politicians fool the masses with their pretentious talk ! All that they care is to cater to the crony capitalists at the expense of the masses who vote them to power. Yet, the masses get deluded by the crafty talk of seasoned politicians who have mastered the art of duping people. Ideology here, promises there, lies everywhere -- this is the range of their offer to the people as they fail to fructify ideology in its beneficial form in practice and fulfil promises made just to gather votes, but they do succeed in lying very well which is their trademark after all.

So, believe in no politician beforehand but only judge them strictly by their actual performance. But you have to gamble on these insincere ones while casting your vote. So, educate yourself to be discerning in judgement. An educated polity is less liable to be fooled, although, very often the opposite has been historically found to have been true. But the maxim holds nonetheless.
