macmarauder Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 unfortunately i think every country has this problem. i compare politicians speeches to salesmen selling you their product wether you need it or not. politics vary greatly from country to country but they always sound like salesmen.

I unfortunately have a sarcastic view of anyone willing to enter public life. Politicians will say anything to get elected and keep their job. NZ sounds just like my neck of the woods too, martymas.

NZ sounds just like my neck of the woods too, martymas. <{POST_SNAPBACK}>and the sad part is. i really don't mind someone that has different views some of the times or a politician that screws up. but what i really want in a politician are things that i very very rarely see, or at least that they really posses. true leadership, being a stand up person like taking responsibility and standing for what themselves instead of trying to be what people think that they should and hiding anything about them or their lives that isn't. i really truly am ok with someone that screws up sometimes because no one is perfect. you can truly know alot about someone by how they act when they mess up. i'd love to have a politician that speaks from the heart instead of just reading from a pre written speech from someone else. acting is another thing that politicians do today. you just don't know what parts of them are real at all anymore. the most important that too few politicians have is a true caring for their people. i've seen so many that are just there to make money for themselves. i'm sorry i've gone off into a rant so please just ignore it. as these are just the personal views (ramblings) of a young old man (hermit who lives in a cave under the colorado river) (aka sponge hermit big round pants) who is watching the blues brothers upside down on his head cause the TV tune is in the wrong way.
