I'm sick of politicians who treat pursuit and retention of power as their ultimate goal. I want politicians who stand for something, who will act on principle. I'm sick of the overwhelming majority of the current lot, and want to see idealism worn brazenly, proudly, and honestly on their sleeves.
Yeah, me too (different principles, of course). Good luck with that. Principled idealists are pretty much unelectable unless they live in a very homogenous district like San Francisco, Salt Lake City, Massachusetts, or Texas.
Politicial systems produce politicians as surely as swamps produce snakes, frogs, and aligators. Survival of the fittest.
