How to actually get into politics?

Things to read, things to watch, anything really. I want to learn as much as i can. because my dream is to run for president, or get into the senate. Or something so i can get into government. I need to learn as much as i can about politics. So i can actually join. I'm tired of just learning about conspiracies. I need to know ACTUAL political things.

Learning how to spell "politics" would be a good start.

LOL. Also start fucking high priced call girls, step on peoples heads to get ahead, take bribes and fuck people over constantly while acting like a good ol' boy with a southern accent. Get fat. Do a lot of back slappin' and hand shaking, make empty promises, take money from poor people that rely on what you say to be true. etc...

Seriously, though, I doubt you're cynical or psychopathic enough to be a good politician.
If you insist though, learn how to smile at people that disgust you, learn how to bullshit, and learn how make nothing sound like something.

You just need to have something that lends you credibility. For example, if you are running as a Republican, you should have some form of military service as well as some university time studying law. Politics is all about the resume. Also, some acting classes couldn't hurt just for the social aspect.
If you are talking about how to run, you need to start small and prove that you can manage a city, much less the entire country http://www.wikihow.com/Run-for-Mayor

I have no problem bull shiting to make it to the top, but the point is to get to the top and then make a difference. I'm thinking more of actual knowledge on how the system works.

You can't just lie your way to the top. You need people to actually like you and trust you. IF you want to know how to be a good president, get rid of affirmative action, welfare, and don't spend what you don't have and you should do just fine.
The hard part is getting elected.

why would you want to become a scumbag politician?
do something socially beneficial like grow mushrooms and give them away to all your peeps.
spread love, not laws

But in the event you do become President, you'd have long since been bought & paid for, thereby making us deeply regret ever giving you advice when you were still a young, naive, impressionable hippie.

Education wise maybe study, Political Science, Constitutional Law, or at least some type of Business Administration.
Start getting involved with local politics, volunteer for campaigns etc. Start local, go to city council meetings. Eventually run for city council.
Read lot's of news, learn to look past the reporters/authors bias and piece it all together on your own from looking at all the angles/viewpoints.
Everything I can think off right now.

The secret in politics is to be extremely social and talk with everybody. You need charisma and people needs to feel as if you care about what they have to say to you, not the other way around.
Go to meeting, social clubs, get involved in as many community gathering as possible. Their are many volonteer positions in politics and it is crucial you go for it. you need to get your elected officials to notice you so they can mentor you.
