Politician
1. A [professional liar]. 2. There is no other [definition] ([see] example.)
[Politicians] become successful by obtaining an elected position in public office. This requires a series of strategic [lie] telling in an utmost convincing manner. A successful politician must first tell a convincing series of lies to gain favor in a political party. Then, another series of lies must be told to financial backers to gain funds to run for a position in public office. Finally, a politician must tell another series of often conflicting lies to the general public to win votes for election. This process of successful [lie] telling eliminates all honesty from the profession, which has become a requirement of a position in public office. Politicians will typically be very outwardly charismatic individuals possessing above [average] abilities to charm and persuade people. They seek positions in public office as a means of sidestepping laws and to gain personal profit while avoiding a possible life of crime as a [con]-man. Public office offers the opportunity to present ones self as an upstanding law abiding citizen while also offering ample opportunities to [lie], accept bribes, steal money through misappropriated [tax] dollars, etc. [Politics] offers a successful career path for a pathological liar.
