It behooves you to keep as many fans as possible so never alienate fans by taking a clear position on anything. Use your vast lying skills to walk the fine line exactly midway between all opposing views.

10.5 Appeal to emotion, not intellect

Make fans feel, not think. Facts aren't important. Tell them you're working with the big coal companies to develop a process where coal combustion releases only water vapor and the smell of lilacs. Fans love the smell of lilacs.

10.6 Always practice your lying skills

Remember, you're a player only because you're a good liar. Practice whenever you get the chance. If someone asks you what you had for dinner last night, lie--just for the practice. If you want to remain a player in American Politics, you must keep your lying skills in tip top shape.
