...Maybe you will buy something once from him/her if they are persuasive...If he/she comes again, and the product still works...(whatever the product is) maybe...just maybe you buy a second time...
...But...if the Con Man comes to your door a hundred times, or one hundred and fifty times, and if the entire neighborhood knows who he is and what he is..then the Con Man gets no sales. Maybe gets arrested, but he gets no sales. By the 50th time the neighborhood is talking about the "Con Man" coming to the door and lying to you and your neighbors. No one buys from the Con Man..
..That is what this is all about. A few might believe the Con Man. Most no longer believe the liar/Con Man..If it were a TV show, after the 10th week the show would be canceled. But certain politicians do not know this. They think they can get away with the con all the time and anytime. Even after the 50th time and the neighborhood is talking about him/her, the Con Man continues the con and the lies on top of lies. But the neighborhood is talking about the lies, and the way he cons people. Doesn't matter. Why doesn't it matter?
...It doesn't matter because the Con Man has conned himself into believing that the cons will always work. The Con Man doesn't know that there is a limit to the con. He doesn't think his show will ever get canceled. He doesn't think that anyone will protest the Con Man coming into the neighborhood. Most Con Men learn the hard way, buy spending time in a small room for a number of years.. It has a toilet, and a window and maybe a roommate. And that Con Man's show is over for a long time.

(32,017 posts)But the con man were dealing with now is REALLY GOOD. He has conned Deutch Bank out of hundreds of millions, and he conned his way into the Oval Office. Hes a con man, sure, but hes probably good enough to escape that small room you imagine him inhabiting.

Perhaps no one will want to talk to him after a certain number of deaths hit the U.S.A, and it becomes clear to all but a small number of people exactly who and what he is...Or maybe he will isolate himself from the people who bother him and want interviews...
...I don't hear much from Bush Jr. any more. That is exactly what he has done. Bush Jr. doesn't want to deal with any problems as he spews out more lies and stupid sentences. He does no interviews and is quietly retired in Texas somewhere. Fuck Bush Jr.
