Double-Speak in Politics

Political Manifesto of any party leaves one with the following thoughts:

Language may have been the greatest achievement of mankind but it is the greatest weapon in the armory of politicians!

Words are potentialized thoughts….according to spiritual masters….but in Politics ….they are smoke-screens!

Lies….damn lies….statistics…….is a common phrase…..and now it should be modified to include: double-damn lies…..the political manifestos!

It is not that politicians are a different breed….they are one of us….so why blame them ! Maybe it is the very nature of a MATURE DEMOCRACY….that warrants such romantic fiction to be written before the elections !

People in general….the masses…..the pillars of democracy… are averse to honesty…..as a political party/candidate without a ‘fairy-tale promise list’ is bound to lose the elections !

We all have a hidden desire to be conned……and led up the garden path ! This fact is amply demonstrated in our fascination for REALITY SHOWS on TV …..And (rightly) some people call the election coverage on TV as the biggest Reality shows of them all !

Is democracy a process of governance …of the fools….for the fools…. by the fools…..or is the last part a bit different?
