Pollitician?????

Question

this may sound wierd, but wouldnt you like to see a "politician" running for president, who WASNT a politician (and I know that would technically blah blah blah, dont take it so seriously)
Cuz, who trusts politicians anymore?? I dont!
I dont want someone who stands up for one beleive and then folds just because that beleif may be less popular in the polls or the got paid off by some big company, running the most powerful country on Earth!
I want someone who sticks with there beleifs, even if they arent popular, who has an open mind and has compassion towards ALL the people of all countries (and religions) no matter what!
I want someone who is honest and trustworthy & and if they do something bad or make a bad decision or have something that they supported but went wrong, to admit it, fess up and stop trying to make redicules excuses!!! or just not wanting to be wrong so they keep standing by something that IS wrong and taking people lives!!

I want someone who realizes we are all citzens of the Earth, and every life is worth the same as the next!! Who WANTS to help people!!! and who does!!!!!! is that too hard to ask????
And since we cant seem to find those qualities in politicians.....why are we still electing politicians?!?!?!?!?!?!????????



I am so sick of this greed, hate, indifference and violence and indifference and etc. and shouldnt we be able to look to our leaders to be good examples??? We cant just blindly follow to where we dont want to end up!!!!!!

p.s. please star it, I would like a lot of people to see it. I would like to know more peoples opinions!
Thanks!!!

(Peace love and Humanity, please!)

Answer 1

i would like to know why we are electing so many lawyers. are we a nation of laws or a nation of business. you wouldn't have a lawyer as the ceo of a corporation. why do we have then run our country. maybe that's why our budget is never balanced and our country is trillions of $$ in debt.

Answer 2

I understand the sentiment, however .... where do you draw the line on some of these issues ? In the 70's, there was a broken welfare program which included pretty much anyone that claimed they were trying to find work, but couldn't....and lived off Government cheese. Overly simplified for this example of course but basically right on. Now, I'm sure having a sentiment that we are all humans, all have needs and maybe a few wants here and there, but that antiquated social system was costing us alot. Now say there's a single mother, she has basic work skills, but the time she would work would go mostly toward paying for a baby sitter. Along with that comes in all the questions of "where's the father ?" or "why didn't you use contraceptives ? " and every group that has an agenda or a message gets thrown into the mix. That's a headache.
But, since back then the program dealt with people and their income...or lack of it, there wasn't alot of oversight on who was truely deserving. Why should an able bodied man that just doesn't feel like working qualify, for instance ?
The system is better today, but due to the fact that the monetary policy of any Government...local or Federal could never keep up with demand, there had to be some kind of "sorting process" ...which of course might lead to saving money and kicking people out of a program that really don't deserve it, but also stands a chance of kicking people out that very much need it.
So, where do you draw the line ? How do you separate the lazy or unmotivated or undeserving from the truely deserving ?
Then to open the issue up further more, how would such a system apply toward people from other countries. True, America shouldn't be the welfare country of the world, but why should we separate people by county lines, state lines, country lines ? After all, we are still human..no matter where we come from.
Now the topic gets muttled and harder to address.
Some of the "haven" cities that took in illegals are finding it hard to cope. 43 states have brought up harsher requirements and restrictions not because they hate illegals, but because they can't afford them. They can't deliver the social services to the people that are American citizens. There's also the fact that being "illegal" isn't much proof that they actually want to be a Citizen because they broke America's ethic of Rule of Law.
America is a prosperous country, but when or where did anyone designate America as the world wide givers to all those wanting. That is the purpose of countries. They are suppose to look out for their own people. YET, with all the aid we have given Mexico, they haven't really risen much higher from the standards of a 3rd world nation. Iraq had a dictator, all those millions in cash / oil reserves. They could have invested in infrastructure, designed water filtration plants, hydroponic food plantations.....but they remain as they have been for years. The truth is, leadership in the 3rd world has mostly been about power and money. Sicking I know, but how would one deal with this ? One world order might be a suggested answer, but then there's larger problems...Who would take a chance on a world wide election that a terrorist sympathizer would gain power ? Or empower the UN to control all things world wide...how long would it take for them to attack America ..now because we are bad, but because we are one of the wealthiest nations, and that we have a national interest above all. The kiota accord that Bush wouldn't sign for instance was limiting us regarding world wide polution , but didn't touch the countries that produced the most polution...mainly being China, India, and a couple places I hadn't heard of.
For the world to be fair and to do things right, Terrorism needs to be eliminated, people need to be educated in poor countries and the "politicians" need to grow up and realize they can't keep playing people against each other just so they can sit in a comfy chair. They actually need to do the best they can for the people they represent and rule for.
