The Founding Fathers expected people to leave their homes and serve their country for a season. The leaders were then to return to those homes and live under the rules and regulations they had established while leading.
At some point, we decided that to be a leader in this nation you had to be a Politian. The media has shouted that requirement from the roof tops since Sarah Palin stepped on to the political stage and the media has only gotten louder as the mid-term election draws near.
“She does not have enough experience.”
“He will not be willing to negotiate.”
“They are not use to how things work in the government.”
Carl Rove said that he thought people did not understand because this election was about taking back congress for the conservatives and we needed to elect people in the primaries that could win in the November elections.
I also heard it said that you have to stand for something or you will fall for anything – and we the people have fallen for that line before.
Never again! Everyone – no matter which side of the “aisle” you might reside – should be looking for candidates that say what they mean and will do what they say. We need candidates that are looking to go in and do the job and then come back home to their lives.
When did “politician” become a job? People that are in it for a job will always be concerned about keeping that job. We must put people into office that want to work – for just a season – and are more concerned about convictions than re-elections!
