Reply #175: I realized long ago

that a politician is a politician regardless of which side of the aisle they are from. By politician I mean those who say what sounds good and brings in the votes regardless of what they actually do, and sadly that is what most of those who represent us do. We need leaders, not politicians. I want a leader who leads on principal and not polls or political expediency. Short term pain in the polls and loss of political capitol should be an obstacle a true leader is willing to take on for a long term strategy that sets the nation on the best course for future prosperity, international good will and internal social justice.
