¶ … Campaign War
With the campaign practices that are seen today, the average voter is not really getting enough good information about which candidate is the most qualified or the best person for the job. Most of the campaign promises that are being offered by the candidates are not promises that they are going to keep. Additionally, some of the candidates actually do lie about things that have happened in the past or things they have said in the past - and then they make excuses when they are "caught."

Still, that does not mean it is a good idea or something that people should be doing. This is especially true with people who are in a profession where they have to protect and care for others. There are some possible causes for shirking one's duties. Some people are simply lazy or uninterested, and they do not want to be "bothered" with all of the duties of the job.
