That's not why I'm involved in politics

You are involved in losing at the polls. That is not politics.

There are two rules that must be accomplished to make a change in government. That have to be achieved in this order or nothing you want to happen will ever happen.

 
   1. The first object is to get the majority of the public 
       to agree with what ever you want to have happen.
   
   2. Then second thing to do is to celebrate your victory.
You are trying to elect people who will do what you want.

NO ELECTED OFFICE HOLDER WILL EVER DO THAT.

Elected office holders do what the public wants.

Let me give you an example. Lets say that I could wave a wand and 65 percent of Americans were demanding the right to bear arms.

The Republicans would introduce a bill. The Democrats would introduce a bill. The Republican bill would allow anyone to keep and bear arms any where any time. People could open carry or hide them in their clothes if they wished. Kids could carry machine guns to first grade. The Dmeocrat's bill would be identical execept that poor people would get government subsidized guns. The Democrat bill would establish the GFPF agency to provide guns for all poor people. The elected officials would compromise.. Poor people would get guns for half price.

That is the way our sytem works. We have a REPRESENTATIVE REPUBLIC. People are elected to represent us. They do the peoples will. They do not RULE US. They are our servents. They don't have principles. They are servants. They do what we want done. That is why they go through that demeaning election process begging their bosses for each measly vote.

The secret is to persuade the American people.

For 80 years the right has tried to elect people who will do what they want. They have met with failure.

The Democrats have spent the last 80 years educating people to believe what they believe.

Are you really surprised at the result?
