Re: [Rant] Running for office...
said by jwersan  :I feel that their campaigning for the other office detracts from their ability to do the job that they were elected to do... Am I alone in this thinking???? You may be along in thinking that anything that detracts from politicians doing their "job" is necessarily a bad thing.
But I can't speak for other people, I can only speak for me. And speaking for myself, I lost faith in politicians (of any stripe) long ago.
The way I look at it, if there are enough things "detracting" from their jobs, (reelection campaigns, taking bribes from lobbyists, hookers, etc.) our legislators may well end up doing nothing.
And usually, doing nothing is the very best we can hope for from them. |
