Politicians resemble chameleons, changing political colors to better suit the environment. Whatever it takes to win votes in their MO.
In the US, this means that Washington politicians are apt to eventually stray from the Constitution that they promise to uphold.
In the current field of presidential candidates, there is only one non-chameleon among them. Ron Paul. As observed here, what you see is what you get. No handlers developing his positions on issues. His positions have not wavered in his decades in Washington. His fidelity to the Constitution is unmatched by other presidential contenders.
Diogenes understood that virtue was better revealed in action than in words. Were he to have seen Ron Paul in action, Diogenes' quest for honesty may have ended.
