They don't even care about making the audience to believe their lies to be true anymore. When politicians are confronted for the contradictions between their words and actions, they simply order their fanbases to attack the person who is pointing out the politicians to be liars. As consequence, the fanbase won't exactly deny the politician they idolize to be a liar, rather they will simply focus on the lies of the adversaries, claiming that they are much worse than the ones perpetrated by their personal idol. That is what we have been seeing on the political discussions on the internet in social medias platforms.

There is a constant argument going on between dirty and poorly washed people, which won't take society to anywhere in a constructive way. For those who still value their mental sanity, it's advisable to stay away from such conversations and such people, be it on the internet or on physical world. Nowadays it's pretty obvious when someone is lying, due to the speed information reaches us in real time. So, if there is still people believing on these things, let it be. Don't waste your precious time trying to convince them the opposite.

From the start, politics has always been built on lies and we need to understand that it is one of the ways that is use to manipulate the people with fake peomises thag may nevee the through. Politics lies keep surging Everytime that election is close.
We don't need to keep believing in many of these politicians because they are always in that position for there own personal reasons.
I don't eleven trust a single politician even though they called themselves men of God.

 Politics is a dirty game and for you to succeed, you have to be dirty. It's rare to see people with morals in politics as they are fighting for the chance to gain power and we know how conceited power can make one. People have made politics a do or die affair simply because they know what they can get from it that's why if it's to lie just to get them there, they will do it.
Where I come from, most of the politicians who promised their citizens zillions of things they will do the moment they get into power have not even been able to make one quarter of it come to pass and this is disheartening because the masses vote with hope that they will be representatives who will bring about change but since there are more greedy people than there are accountable politicians, instead of results, you get more problems.
 I've settled within myself that for me to ask for a politician that is at least truthful is like asking for a camel to go through the eye of a needle.

In our society nowadays most of the time politicians tell lies, especially during elections, many react and then can't make up for it. But lying is now a very common practice for some people. Politics is like before. Now there are many countries where only names are chosen but no voting is required. This is generally known as vote fraud.

Not just telling lies but constructive lies because one thing is to tell lies and another thing is to make the ordience believe the lie to be truth. I must say that politicians are professional in making constructive lies to cover their weakness and incompetency especially those corrupt politicians that have nothing to offer to their nations than looting their treasury and institutionalizing corruption and thuggery.

Things like these were happening around for decades, but peoples were not well aware because we are living in well controlled and organized society which was giving positive things of these dirty politicians, but recent revolutionary social media expose this all which is surely heartbroken for the many but still this is fact now we are living in country were we are having too many bad things related to politicians, but they are still ruling us, and we are not going to have problem because we can't do anything.
Scandals and other things which are part of their lives are surely now exposing quickly, but peoples are having not good time to give any guideline or good view because they have no time for the truth, but lies are living long.

You are very correct about politics not being about lies but rather the politicians running the politics are the one painting it as if it's all about lies because after they must have made a lot of campaign promises just to lure the citizens to vote for them after which when they are elected in office, they don't redeem their campaign promises anymore but most times, I blame the electorates because they shouldn't vote because of campaign promises but rather vote someone who has held a public office in the past and has a very good record.

Those who make promises that expose them as propaganda for themselves, especially those who participate in the elections. I don't know any politician who hasn't lied.
Politics is defined as "the art of the possible" and so lying will be part of it. Despite all scientific definitions, political action does not adhere to all rules, and lying will be one of the tools that can be used. Some politicians may resort to lying to avoid criticism or to justify their mistakes.
Some politicians may resort to lying to avoid criticism or to justify their mistakes, while Some other politicians may resort to lying to maintain their positions or avoid scandals.

Modern democracy is hinged on fierce competition among social classes in the society. These political competition's are channeled through elections.
Thus, the electorate are the epicentre of the theatre of the absurd; an arena of falsehoods, brigandaries, and propaganda against the opponents.
In Nigeria, these absurdities are played out just to win an election and capture power. Without these intrigues, no politician could win an election. It has come to stay and become a normal political practice.
Political oratory laced with lies is a vital resources to win an election in Nigeria.

How is it that no one can explain? It's quite simple to explain: people do like liars. People ask to be lied to. People have a thing for liars, maybe because human beings tend to feel attracted by what is similar to them, that is, to what they identify to. Politicians and governments are just the reflex on the mirror of the population they represent and rule.
  
Well, after all human beings still have 'free will'. If they are consuming or buying such lies from the media, it's because they consciously went for that. I don't buy what I don't want to consume. They must feel fascinated by one aspect or other of those lies (or of the liars) to keep buying them.

It wasn't supposed to. But everything in this wicked world is subverted from its original purposes. Politics is dominated by propaganda or illusion, because politicians know that is how they can divide to conquer.

Many already believed that there's no how they could get into politics without being a liar for anything, so this is one of the corrupt means and wrong interpretation many had towards politics as being a dirty game, but ours can be a different case, we can go into it and make change and be sincere and truthful in whatsoever thing we are do, knowing that this is a call for the service to humanity and community development, we must be less concerned about ourselves to the way we offer our services to the people.

If you are going to politics be ready to lie during the campaign because, people believe to those politicians that promise them with lie than those who will tell them the truth what they will do when they win the election and what they will not do when they are in the office and people will not vote for such politicians that say the truth during their camping.

But politics no suppose be involve with lie because, the day people discovered that you are lie to them and there is nothing you can do to make them to trust you again, even though you have changed in such bad  attitude but they will never give you second choice  again.

For me, politics and lies go hand in hand. Because one cannot function without the other, they both performed admirably. Politicians desire and value power; they will go to any length to obtain it. Politicians use lies to acquire or maintain power. Social media is also a tool for improving political honesty and transparency. This means that the media disseminates knowledge about politics and their actions, allowing individuals to recognize partiality when assessing sources.

This matter heavy op you see politics in our nation is another curse of study Even the citizens can't graduate in the hand of the politician because different tactics of lies changing  like chameleon every second all in the name of power most painful is the media that has be clone to pass the lies to the public. Before politics is to lead the people but today it's to rule and embezzled, they are all power mongers seeking it by all means.

Well I don't blame them that is the system of our laws and policy to that have been in existence weather the followers speak or kicked against it can't stop them,
This reminds me few week senate president lies to the public that all state governors have been given 30billion to solve food scarcity issue but all is lie.

The problem Begin when citizens don't have right to decide their leaders but judiciary and the laws that too given to the governor who chooses before the people to man over choice of appointing  commissioner etc all this issue where politicians lied is based on the laws we operate naturally is not meant to be so .

The lie of politician is like one who learn a skill it will get to a point that your skill be automatically change your real name as people will begin to call you by the skill, base on the nature they operate lie is the only thing they are know of so any who follows such tonne of lies can be tags as politician.

Politics is not about lies it just so happens that a lot of politicians running these days have lived dirty lives. They are maintaining an image in order to attract people and make the people think that they are the wisest choice to vote for and elect in the position.

Their lies are heavily studied and planned probably by a team of experts. They create basically a marketing plan and try to advertise themselves as much as possible. It is up to the people to study the information relayed to them and figure out whether it is all lies or they are telling the truth.

But isn't lying among politicians a requirement?, just so that they can keep up with the people?

Most politicians are liars.They make various false promises to come to power.They think they win only if they come to power with false promises.  But the victory of a politician comes only when he can win the hearts of the general public.If a promise is made, it must be fulfilled. Lying for power is not desirable from any ideal politician.But not all politicians are the same.There are many politicians who care about the country and the people and want to come to power to serve the people.  But because of some unscrupulous people we start to think all people are bad.And can't trust good people.

Politic is full of lies and anyone that's in politic should expect that the populace wouldn't be seeing him or her as a truthful person though it isn't citizens fault but it is the fault of politicians, in Africa this is common to make promises without fulfilling them, African politicians are dubious in nature, their main purpose of being in power is to enrich themselves, their relatives,extended family members and generation to come that's why in some African countries when their president leaves power for another president, the new one will recover some of his predecessor loot and reloot it, Africans are doomed.

So, you are saying that Hitler was the good guy after all?
