If you wanna fix the problem of lying politicians Options

My friend thought of this, and after thinking he was nuts, I started thinking about it and like it a lot.

There's always a problem of politicians lying to get elected. Not promising something, following up on it, and getting it shot down in Congress; But flat out lying to the American voters during campaigns. Promising whatever gets votes, then sitting back and buttfucking our country for the next four years (W, I'm talking about you).

If you promise change, and try to enact that change but it doesn't pass, fine. But if you promise change, get elected and don't follow up on those promises, you'll be charged with treason after your term is over.

Talk about balancing power between the people and dirty politicians who think they can do whatever the fuck they want without repercussion

... and exactly how is Bush a dirty politician?

Also, if we wanted to try politicians for lying for their own personal agenda, then why don't we spread that idea to the entire American population. Hang every one of us who lie. I give this country 6 months before all of us are dead.

UGH

If I lie, I end up hurting maybe one, two people. If a politician lies his way in to office he hurts the entire country. Clearly there is a difference. Politicians should be held to a higher moral and ethical standard than the common citizen. That's part of the responsibility of being an elected official.

I give this country 6 months before all of us are dead.

I am willing to bet the new leader of our country will be dead before everyone else
