Personal Philosophy, from a friend in the UK who has significant interest in American politics:
“Show me a selfless politician, working strictly for the common good and defending our individual rights and liberties as citizens, and I will show you a saint!
There are precious few!
The vast majority unfailingly succumb to their own petty lust for power, and the ecumenical dogma among politicians that we ‘ordinary’ citizens cannot think for ourselves. . The ‘representation’ aspect is instantly forgotten, and the people’s voice and interests soon fade into the background, while political infighting and jockeying for position take precedence.
Most don’t look upon themselves as ‘public servants,’ but rather as ‘ public parents’ They are truly paranoid, afraid of everything!
