So how "sacred" is the ground that you use for crass political and economic gains?

That's the question I'd like to ask Republicans right now in a public forum.

1. Interesting question.

Although most people do not seek political gain for political gain, but because what will be achieved from that.


When you look at what is done, things form chains, like someone supporting someone, trying to get in an office, so they can do something when there.

The goal is not to get into the office but to make some difference on some issue, so then politicking becomes not the goal.


The thing is, most people are only shown the politicking, and not the goals behind it. So you hear a story about some distraction that is politics, but do not hear the entire chain of events that it is for. And some times that is intentional since the goals of some groups would not be liked by very many people, so they talk about the surface stuff without getting to what people try to do.

2. Why is it that whenever I read your posts...

I have only a vague idea of what you're trying to say? I mean, I am by no means a stupid person. Is your communication really that muddled? Or are you trying to appear "deep" by saying everything in a veiled way?

3. Probably a blocker.

Or a text lock, but not sure why it would be locked to you.

What part don't you understand?

People do things for one reason, when actually it is for some other reason.


People discuss a topic to get elected, not to legislate on that topic.
They get elected not to hold office but to do something while there.
And what they do, has little to do with the surface level thing that gets them elected, if they use distractions or smears.

That is why many issues come up during elections but are not always legislated on.

4. What he's trying to say

is that people can usually see through a glass darkly; however, there are times when the trees of the forest aren't just there to lose their leaves but perhaps are there to better help cultivate the ground beneath. The problem with the forest, however, and the squirrels which populate it therein, is that it doesn't necessarily see it this way.

To simplify: you don't simply roll a rock to see if it rolls; you want to make sure it gathers no moss; i.e., politicians often get sidetracked and mistake means for ends.
