What is the Psychology behind Politicians (and Celebs) that think they can lie with impunity?

Gene L asked:


There seems to be an epidemic of people in high places, people of authority and celebrity that come right out and tell us BOLD-FACED LIES or attempts at deception and expect to not get caught.

Are they so dumb as to believe there’s no record (or YouTube video) of what they’ve done or things they’ve said that will prove them to be a deceitful liar?

Examples:
Hillary…..she lied about her Bosnia visit.
Obama…he lied about not ever attending Rev. Wright’s sermon where racist and anti-American rants were preached.
Bill Clinton…”I never had sexual relations with that woman….”
Sen. Larry Craig’s lurid airport toilet scandal…”I am not now, nor have I ever been, a homosexual”.

The list goes on of course…

What’s up with these people, don’t they know that sooner or later, the truth will come out (but won’t necessarily set them free)?
How stupid do they think WE are?

    Celebrities and Politicians suck.

  3. J K Says:

    Both celebs & politicains make a living by pretending to be someone else when a camera is around. Those who do better than the other guy get the benefits. Those who aren’t so good at it have to find another job. It’s in their best interest to be proficient.

    They believe the average american is a mushroom and that we can be spoon fed a diet of feces while being kept in the dark. It scares and surprises them when we see through the deception.

    i think it is a combination of pure ego, that they are so powerful they can get by with it, and calculated gambles, and i thinkthere are some like hillary and bill that are just plainly compulsive liars, i’m not sure they even are aware of when they do it anymore.

    They have no - NO people. No one will tell them NO. They think they are Special and we are all stupid. I think it is in the wrong order. We are smarter than them. They actually believe what people tell them. IE: Hillary you are the smartest woman in the world and the little people will believe whatever you tell them.
