Present day politics

When you don’t know what you're talking about, it's hard to know when you're finished
-Tommy Smothers

I looked up the word politics into he dictionary. It’s actually a combination of two words: poli, which means many, and tics, which means bloodsuckers
-Jay Leno

We will always have death and taxes, but death doesn’t get worse every year
-Tim Borten

I guess today's politics has many bloodsuckers who don’t know what they are talking about most of the times. It has become the last resort to criminals.

In India, the basic qualification to become a politician:

Should have a maximum education of 6th grade
Should have been to prison at least thrice
Capability to talk a lot of nonsense
Point fingers at others to gain supremacy
The most important being the ability to swindle money and still escape jury

If ruling a country requires people with such qualifications, imagine the state of the nation. Is it that our country lacks able ministers and politicians?? I guess most of the wise people think that politics is a ditch filled with garbage and so never come near it!!

I personally, will not want to vote. I don’t see any point in electing someone from a group of scoundrels whose ultimate aim is to make MONEY.

Swetha,Educated people like you shouldnt talk about not voting.It is your reponsibility to go and select the "best out of the worst" to serve our country.Voting is not a right...I think its a duty of every citizen!

i guess most of the middle class people dont care about who is coming to power. as long as their expenses are met, i think they are satisfied with any government or rather they are not bothered. this is just my view.

i am not saying tht all the politicians are alike. but most of them are in this field only to swindle money. Dont tell me that the Indian politicians arn't corrupt. I guess only a handful of them want to do good to the people.
