Don"t follow you. Are you are too old to believe in the fairy tale of honestly implementing your campaign promises, so you prefer the proven method of lying to the ellectorate?
What honest politicians you old realists aspire to: those in the respectable business of doing whatever they want to, completely disregarding any promises made?
I bet you also welcome corruption since, you know, how would anyone believe in, or even aspire to, the "fairy tale" of uncorruptible polititians!
You are certainly a sensible realist!
- fasteo 9y ago>>> I bet you also welcome corruption Don't be a jerk. You seem to be a clever person. This is not what I meant. And you know it. My position in quite simple. I do not believe in politician's altruism. They are all going to prison and I do no think they are doing it for the Calalonian people. That's all. Time will tell.
- gonvaled 9y agoIt's not about altruism. It's about doing what they promised. I do not care about their hidden motives (they are hidden, by definition, so who the hell knows what they really want to achieve). I care about politician X doing Y, as he said in the campaign. People elected him for Y, so if he does it, that's fine. Now, you can wonder why people find Y so important, but it's not up to me to judge them: it is not important for me, but it's important for the majority, and as such I must respect it.
- fasteo 9y agoI just think that Y is a masquerade and the meat is in the hidden motives.
