It causes inertia and cronyism. Republicans are better at it because they have richer and better educated puppeteers. Democrats only cry and bleed better

I thought that was funny. Are politicians supposed to lead or are they supposed to represent their constituents? In other waords if I were a politician, it wouldnt matter my views. I would fight for the viewpoint of the people who elected me regardless of my personal opinion. That is selfless service. Is it reality? Unfortunantly no.
