    All you needed to do was Google the word and you would have seen many definitions like this:

    "a person who cheats or tricks others by persuading them to believe something that is not true."

    A slick deceiver who has conning down to an art form. Many politicians are "con artists". In truth these political con artists are only truly competent at one thing and one thing only. Namely, getting themselves re elected time and time again.
