Demagogics. A favorite tool of many a politician.

One thing I've discovered about politicians: they crave power. All of them. Most will stay within the law while trying to get more power, some will try to bend the law, and a few will break the law. Most will not hesitate to use the demagogics xenophonz has described so well in the previous post.

Some politicians outgrow their craving for power and become statesmen. FDR comes to mind. Alas, true statesmen are in very, very short supply, and always have been.

The pen is mightier than the sword. But if you literally want to have some impact, use a typewriter
