Voted : Liars win more elections
Show people the truth and, by and large, they'll run screaming. Jack Nicholson from "A Few Good Men" applies here.
Voted : Liars win more elections
Goes with the territory. What's worse is watching some idiots still supporting them, when it's becomes painfully obvious that's what they're doing.
Voted : Liars win more elections
I can always tell if a politician is a liar, and I always vote for them. Honest politicians creep me out. They're freaks because it's just not normal to be an honest politician.
Voted : Not always. Other factors often are more significant
Not always. Politicians running for office that give people hope and optimism often win. A person who is negative on his opponent and negative about the country don't usually do well. Playing to people's values is also a significant factor. Also, if you run against an opponent who the voters view as weak or incompetent, you can win without lying. Example... Reagan vs. Carter.
Every politician is a liar, and it's the public's fault. The defining characteristic idiot voters look for isn't honesty, it's charisma.

You get what you vote for, and people like to hear what they like to hear. Put two and two together, and what do you get?
