Politician’s explanation of the Voting Public --- “The public’s collective memory is about six months. I could murder my own mother …….. and if I could withstand the initial onslaught and media reaction…….. Well, six months later I could be re-elected.” Politician’s view of Ethics --- In Washington never be caught in bed with a dead women or live boy. Just about anything else goes. Lobbyist explaining the Political Parties --- What you have to understand is this “Republican vs. Democrat” thing is mostly for the public. It’s all one big club. The real war is Incumbents vs. the Wantabees. Just look at what they put into law. It’s all to insure the incumbents stay in office. Understanding Political Realities ---- The very next morning after winning an election, the first thing a politician thinks of is “how do I get re-elected”. Everything they do is based on that ….. EVERYTHING. About the Quality of Politicians …It breaks out like this…1/3 are good ( as in, they are effective )…..1/3 are bad ( as in, they are ineffective )… and 1/3 are just furniture ( as in, they are just in it for the perks and personal power ). Well, they are all in it for the perks and personal power, some just perform better for the money spent. Dealing with the Media … Stay away from the media if you have the conservative slant on an issue. Go to the media if you have the liberal slant, buy ‘em drinks! … Don’t get into a fight with the media. They buy their ink by the barrel. If it happens, buy ’em drinks ….. Also they are the most vindictive of society’s groups. If you do get crosswise….. buy ‘em drinks….. Play to their snobbery, they are fairly easy to control. They use “collective think”. Just keep buying drinks .. Oh, yeah tell ‘em how smart they are .. ego stuff works almost as well as alcohol … not quite, but almost. |
