Is it just us or does the definition of a con artist sound just like a job description for a liberal politician?

Ray was reading an article about con men on a site called HowStuffWorks.com when the proverbial lightbulb went on over his head.

How Con Artists Work

“Hey,” Ray thought, “con men sound just like liberal politicians.”

Con artists make money through deception. They lie, cheat and fool people into thinking they’ve happened onto a great deal or some easy money, when they’re the ones who’ll be making money. If that doesn’t work, they’ll take advantage of our weaknesses — loneliness, insecurity, poor health or simple ignorance. The only thing more important to a con artist than perfecting a con is perfecting a total lack of conscience.

The only thing missing is a mention of the con man’s labor union and race hustler accomplices.
