Paper Summary:

This paper discusses how the unethical and criminal misconduct of elected officials in recent years has confirmed beyond all doubt that ethics in politics is an oxymoron. The very nature of politics imposes daily ethical challenges, for politicians strive to gain as much support from the electorate as they can in order to get elected or reelected, which often compels them to engage in deceitful conduct ranging from shading the truth about their position on issues to telling blatant lies in order to conceal their illegal activities.
