What qualifications do you need to become a politician?

Answer 1

The ability to make promises that cannot be kept. The ability to spout excuses for not being able to fufil your promises.

Answer 2

Money is the first requirement. The ability to kiss corporate Americas butt is the second requirement. Being able to lie, cheat, & steal are also qualifications. Lying with a straight face, cheating to acheive what you want no matter HOW you acheive it. Steal or accept corporate money that you enabled corporate America to steal from the people(a round about way to steal). Low moral standards are also a pre-requisite
to be successful as a politician. All these things we hold so dear to our heart & mind can be found in the very people we elect time & time again into the same hole in congress.
