Has anybody come across a politician

[Tater]

[quote name="IceHogsFan"]I refuse to believe that all politicians are sleezy although I do believe the system corrupts many with the right intentions. It is also the reason why I am voting against incumbents and looking for new blood in the system. I believe many feel the same way

I do right now.



Term limits will also address the concerns being discussed here.[/quote]



Term limits would be HUGE.

It's hard to imagine a politician actually putting them in place though.

I would love to see them actually try to do what is right for everyone rather then basically campaigning from day one of a new term.

my first answer to just the initial question is: Yes, I run across politicians here in DC all the time, however I am tired of getting pulled over by the cops for trying to run them over.



Now the answer to the full question: No, I have yet to come across any politician that has the exact views that I have. And I doubt I ever would, there is no way that two people can have the exact view on every topic. If I was to ever come across one, I would be scared shitless and doublecheck that my email and bank accounts havent been accessed. I am registered in the State of Florida, as a Republican, BUT I DO NOT VOTE PARTY LINE. And anyone who simply votes for some one because he/she is a Dem or Rep, is a fucking moron. I get into arguments with my Dad all the time, because I am "just too liberal" to be a Republican in his eyes.

Ha I get the same thing from my girlfriend, she is really conservative and often gets frustrated with some of my viewpoints.

While it is true that most of the population is a bit more moderate than either of the two main parties there are ISSUES which really don't have much of a middle ground.......capital punishment, abortion, etc. You either believe someone should be killed or you don't.

I believe in scaring murderers and fetuses half to death. I hope this is a position we can all agree on.
