We were actually discussing this here yesterday...What we decided was:
We will never have a completely honest politician...Why?
Because people don't REALLY want to know the truth...Argue if you like, BUT...We discussed it at length, considered MANY things...So, think about it indepth...No one is perfect and not everyone agrees with everyone else...If ANY politician was simply himself, he would not be accepted by the general majority...An honest person would be ousted pretty damned quick...
Personality aside...What about the issues?...How far do you think a politician would get if he expressed his TRUE feelings on welfare recipients?...Homeless people?...Abortion?...Gay marriage?...and SOOO many other issues?
They are puppets because they HAVE to be...in order to be elected and to stay in office...They HAVE to tell people what they want to hear, or the people won't listen...Think about it...
Hell, people have a problem with ME at times because I'm honest...
