AHHHH but you dont understand, The people dont elect the politicians, the people who count the votes elect the politicians.
As much as I would like to agree with you, I'm reasonably sure it's money that counts. That's what elects politicians/not people these days. Those of SPECIAL INTERESTS GROUPS do seem to have a lot of it. He who spends the most on his golden trail usually wins. I could be wrong, and if you know of a time that it didn't in my life time, please by all means tell me.
Money is a symbol that hides any thing substantial or sustainable. It's difficult to know all that one will do to pay those back who shoveled all that money there way so they could make a spectacle of themselves. It doesn't seem to matter today what anyone says. Popularity only seems to fill the bill.
It's an known advertising strategy the more familiar one is with seeing a thing over and over again, the more that one believes it to be true, without regards to the content. Out of sight out of mind.
Hell most politicians don't have a clue as to what to say and do and most don't write the words they say and the things they do on those notorious stumps that have teleprompters now. Some do have excellent memories that allowing them to memorize everything others tell them to say and do. Those others are call 'handlers', they get a big piece of the action too.
It is indeed sad to imagine one in such a lofty post to have to be handled by others. Hell there was one who seem to get off on one handler. I think she was wearing a blue dress. I could be wrong as it is difficult to believe anything anyone says these days as to any thing that is said about any politician. Are they really people or are they just puppets pretending to be people?
