House of Lies Cristina Guarneri

Political lies have not only an ethical nature, but it also damages the democratic health of both the people and the politician that represents them. In order for politics to be able to represent the people, it must have the ability to instill confidence in the people. We see that just the opposite is occurring. We call such inner workings a formula to the political salesman or the House of Lies. It is honesty, loyalty, integrity, maintaining excellent behavior, austerity, and the ability to provide service as the basic virtues needed when running for public office. For without it, politics and their representatives can no longer exercise equality, tolerance, and a willingness to have dialogue and to stand out greatly among a people.
