The pander was slick in advertising his harlots, but I rushed off instead.

Glenn Beck, Sarah Palin, and the Tea Party pander to homophobia, the NRA, oil companies, capitalism/corporations, anti-immigrant groups, pro-life groups, any number of unworthy causes. Worse still, they combine that pandering with "American Values", "Family Values", and "Jesus"/"Christian Values", thus cheapening the integrity of a whole nation.

Some media pundit: "Joe the Plumber! Hockey Moms! Protect the Sanctity of Marriage, Protect the children! I love America...*sob* *sob*! Never Forget 9/11...!"

Pandering
A manipulative device used by politicians to agree and support the popular view of a particular group or groups of people in order secure their vote. Although the philosophy or interest of this particular politician is not necessarily in tune with that particular group, he or she will appear as though he or she agrees with a particular group, particularly during the election season, in order to win his/her sear.

The interest of particular groups may be somewhat farfetched, including creating Utopia's for them to live in or to achieve the so called "rainbows" and "butterflies" they so want to have. But, if that is what the educated politician has to agree with in order to win on election day, then he/she will do it.

Gullible Citizen: I want the government to help us pay our mortgages, pay for our kids to go to college, and help pay our utility bills.

Politician's mind: This may be pure pandering because there is NO way the government should or can take care of any of those requests; but, i guess I'll have to say "sure thing".
