Some define political leaders as those who have many things to say and promise but nothing to do except creation of chaos for reasons and without reasons. Do you also have the same opinion about them?

Well my definition of political leaders is simple. Morons, thieves, liars and so on. I think that all of them are just power hungry and greedy. It's all about the money, whats in it for them, what they can get out of it.

Do you want my opinion toward current political leaders, or do you want my own definition of political leaders? For my own opinion, I would say most political leaders would promise anything on their election period. Once they are elected, a few of them actually would do what they promise to do. A official political leader would be someone who would lead the country, and for the common benefit of our people, they would contribute their time and energy find the best way to provide the common good.

Political leaders are manipulative for a reason. They have support staff that have nothing more to do but manipulate others to help them look good. It is, yes you guessed it, a manipulative situation. I don't care for politics or politicians for just that reason. Manipulating others for person gain is a selfish and self serving situation at best. I would not want to be in their seat!

Some are motivated by power and some want to bring positive change to the world. They are just people. The ones who typically win elections are the ones who say things to please everyone. Real life doesn't really work that way, so they often do end up making a lot of empty promises. They are just people like the rest of us. The system is corrupt and it can easily corrupt people, but in the end, we have no real place to judge.

Political leaders give us what we want so the only people we have to blaim for what politicians say and do. We need to stop wanting the 'government' to do something for us, make the world a 'fair' place and get something for doing nothing. Then politicians can't promise us something and we can judge them by their actions not their words. We make our success by hard work. The world has never been fair or I would be tall, good looking and rich. Just because I am not tall, my goal can't be to be a basketball player but I can find a cure for disease. I am not good looking so I can't be a leading man but I can write a great screenplay. And if I work real hard I can be rich. None of those things can I get from a politician or government. What I can do is stop listening to what the politician promises me for doing nothing except vote for him/her. We get the government we want and as long as we want something for nothing, we will continue to get lies.
