The (Contorted) Language of Politicians

"Defend our freedom, Protect our borders, Create more jobs, Limit government, Balance the budget, Illegal aliens will be deported, China is the enemy, We are hearing the voice of the people, I will fight for the middle class, I will work every day of my life to prove myself worthy of your faith in me, We will never accept an increase in taxes,  a lot of small business owners and individuals will finally have a fair shot of getting a part of the American dream, I am a man of the people, I am not a Washington insider, I understand ordinary people, You will have a friend in Washington..etc"

Promises, promises, promises. Once elected, the campaigner forgets all about his glorious promises because he knows that one politician does not have the power to change the business-as-usual atmosphere in Congress or in the White House, not even the President can transform money grabbers into dedicated defenders or the people. Yet we believe them enough to vote for them; why? Because we have no choice, literally no choice. The ballots have their names; not the names we would like to see, but the names of those who won primaries and caucuses, of those who had a lot of MONEY.
