Voting, A Matter of Trust
No, that is usually the first answer I would give anyone wanting my vote for public
office. It is usually followed by, I dont vote. Then, they start by giving me all of the
reasons why I should vote. But, we all know, they stand for nothing. That is whatbeing a politician means. It first of all means that the person can be bought and sold.
We all know what they say they stand for they really dont. It is all a matter of getting
your vote. To me, voting is a matter of trust.
Who are you? That is a better question. We want to know the answer to that
before we decide to marry someone. It is the foundation of any relationship, and then if
you are not who you say you are, you can justifiably terminate the relationship if the
principles established are not in fact the person they say they claim to be. Now isnt thatsimple.
First of all, I dont trust the politician because they have no idea as to what they
support, or are willing to negotiate away after receiving your vote. That is were the term
compromise fits in. It actually means, thanks for your vote, but I may have to changewhat I stand for later. In other words, I hope that you are a reasonable person. You
know, because I may have to sell you and your principles thatyou trusted me tovalue in your vote.
Second, of what religious faith are you? All politicians have a moral belief, a faith
so to speak which establishes that they have some type of ethics, morals, values. They
love to share your values. This probably means we have a certain common bond or
understanding in philosophy of how we hope things should be. However, I have learned
to stay away from those types, the pseudo righteous. You know, religious when they can
be, when it is convenient to be, or when they are around religious types. They dontnecessary carry the banner, they will walk along side of it though, so you know they are
somewhere near, but not actually there.Third, and the latest thing is sexuality. They want to be more tolerant of their
sexuality, and this means that they are homosexual, or lesbian. I have learned not to
vote for that. What are they committed to I wonder. Are they religious? Can they be?
What are their standards? As I am not homosexual, do I count, or do they just want my
vote. Do they simply want me to understand their position, or validate it?.
Fourth, the attorney, they are the ones to watch out for, and most of the political
people are attorneys. Everyone knows not to trust an attorney, and a money changer.
They may ask for your support, but what they end up doing is finding ways to support
themselves.
Fifth, that would be race. I guess I would have to somehow meant someone that
doesnt see color as a privilege or as a tool to hinder. I have not found any suchpolitician, and this is from experience. They all fall short on multiple factors from one
to five. But realistically, I refer to them as The Combo People, like in a restaurant
order.
Yes, the people that want you to vote for them are all of the above or a combination
of all of the above. They really cant be trusted. The last twenty years of my life hastaught me that a politician is not to be trusted and this comes from one interning in the
field and receiving a master degree in administration, public that is. They, the politicians

are the most deviant people there are. If they are incorporated with any of the above one
through five, they are to be not trusted, as they have no moral guidance, no integrity, not
a soul that shines. They are a sinister people.
Watch for them. They bend the laws. They heap favor on their own kind. They
are not honest, so if you consider yourself to be honest, of what use are they. They can
only bring you down, as the character they exhibit does not at all reflect someone of aconscience. Amenable and pliable, you can simply call them slick, like the oils. They
are willing to do anything for the office.
No, no voting for me. I dont like religious people that dont obey the common
mans law. That means they cant obey the laws of God. If you cant follow mans lawthat you can see, how do you follow a higher law? Attorneys are just sold to the highest
bidder, and that means your attorney can be bought from under you, and still represent
you against the law from the people that are to uphold the law. Cant trust that because
they are attorneys to. Forget about the homosexual or lesbian too, they are for
themselves and want you to be against yourself, but for them. No matter the color, if
they ask for your vote, just say no,, racism is institutional, and politics is an institution,
so you will be voting against yourself.Basically, there is nothing to vote for. Doing the right thing, or following the law,
and treating people equally is not something you turn on and off like a watering hose.
Its not rights you accord one person because he is catholic and deny another because he
is not homosexual or Caucasian. From Governor, Comptroller, Attorney General,
Commissioner, Treasurer, sect by way of Jew, Catholic, Black, White, Homosexual, or
what have you, they are all corrupted, deviant individuals. I suffer to say individuals,
as they are not and should not be considered such as politicians.
None of them have the character that I was brought up to admire. I wish that one
day I could find someone to vote for. For now it is like having a good friend. In a
lifetime you may be fortunate enough to find one. Yes, I am simply glad to have met a
few people in the course of my life that have values, morals, and principles decent
enough to measure others by. Otherwise, I would be buying swamp land in Florida, or
even the Brooklyn Bridge. A politician is basically selling you that each time they ask
for your vote. Worst of all, they have no compunction in pocketing your vote, like the
snake oil sales man pockets the unwise persons money, and without guilt nor shame
passes the phony cure.
