No one believes them ,they just don't know what to about it.It has gone far beyond the peoples voice and I fear it's to late now to ever get it back to the way it was meant to be.Can you imagine what our fore fathers would say if they could see how things are done now?Wow what a far cry  from what was suppose to be!!

people would rather believe a TV rather than think for themselves. your right. people a lot of the time dont want the truth. they want the "pink fuzzy bunny" of truth. a nice neat little package that everyone likes to see, hear, feel, and listen to.\n\n200 years ago we would have revolted against our government. now we do nothing. not even running, ourselves, for public office.

Probably not. People who lie about one thing tend to lie about others, also.

Everyone who works in the government is reporting lies just so people will not know the truth?  \nThe same numbers that you say are claimed by the conservatives are still the same ones that were claimed by the liberals under Mr. Clintion so theirs were false as well?

You can look at this situation in one of three ways:\n\n1) Only liars run for office.\n2) Politicians lie because of their job.\n3) Everyone lies, but politicians are the only ones whose lives we scrutinize closely enough to notice.\n\n#1 doesn't make sense - why wouldn't there be any honest people who wanted to make a difference?\n#2 doesn't make sense, what is it about serving the public good that would make ALL of them liars?\n#3 is the only plausible solution.

Because people are afraid to tell the truth and take responsibility for there own actions.

They can't please all people all the time but they try which leads to lies and contradictions, they also believe that they are invincible because they are in a position of high power are are able to get away with things without the public doing much because they are elected officials and its rare that the public get together and take action.

I would imagine that in any country, human nature always prevails, meaning, some people lie and some tell the truth, but I don't think anyone tells the truth 100% of the time.  People like to make things sound good from their perspective.

People will believe anything if it fits the way they want the world to be. Facts be damned.

Because we're beyaches who forgot that the govts power is based on that of the people.  Also, there are many people who would have to admit that they are wrong and nobody wants to admit that they are wrong.

Think before asking a question like this. Think. Why do you think they'd lie?

They think whatever their governments and media has told them to think.  They think that all Americans blindly follow thier leader, and that American leaders are the only ones that lie to their people. They ignorantly think all of us are rich and that everything comes easily for all of us.

They do that crap because people don't fight back. The U.S government is a big fat lie.

some people are sheep and will believe any lies that the government [Bush ] tells them and conveniently forget when he later admits it not to be true
