An Honest Politician, At Last!

An honest politician's speech,
If I am elected I promise to do all I can to promote myself and do all I can to make as much money as I can. I will ignore my constituency and vote the way I feel personally. I will not support a bill if it means a fight and is unpopular. Also, if elected, I promise all my promises will be kept, if I deem them necessary at the time
I will not be partial to lobbying groups, I will pick the one that I consider most beneficial to myself, regardless!
Furthermore, I and my office will be open for any input on any issue that I deem important. I don't care about tradition unless it suits my purposes today and not many do.
I personally promise to stay out of controversial subjects such as , welfare, social security, taxes, abortion, and scandals if it might affect my re-election. You can also be assured that I will object to any investigation of anybody for anything, since it might affect my own integrity in office.
Patriotism was a very important trait in the establishment of this country especially for George Washington, Abraham Lincoln and so on but because of such moral decay and personal greed that is rampant today I will not be bound by such oddities.
Nothing I have ever said can be held against me since everything I have ever said I really didn't say, Only the things I should have said that affect the things that I say now are really the things that I have said, and I really mean that!
Let me end by stating that I need your vote and an willing to do anything to get it and I mean anything! I am glad to have been so honest and straightforward with you today, unlike my sleaze ball competition who is not honest with his promises, My ambitions are sincere. Thank you for your vote.

Top-level comments on this article: (8 total)The only thing I despise more than politicians and our corrupt government is lawyers! Of course lawyers often aspire to be politicians one day so in my opinion they can all go take a flying leap!! Well done Leo!
Hi Leo, For a moment I thought I was reading the front page of the NJ Star-Ledger. I enjoyed your article very much! Best Regards Kimberly
I like your approach to the topics. I can see we can agree on a lot.
Thanks all for your uplifting comments, which is all that authors get. Unless of course you are Dean Koontz. Most all my thoughts are meant to be humorous more so than factual. but they are also meant to portray events to which we can relate. At least that is what I would hope
Hi Leo The question is what type of person in a constitutional democracy other than a professional politician should be eligible for office? I think the heart of the problem is not the "politician" as such, but the vast sums of money required for election and re-election - making the people that actually run democracy dependent on undemocratic interests. Thanks for your article Leo Jonathan Ya'akobi
Hi Leo, you have my vote. at least I know for sure what I am getting myself into.... We really do need to be praying for whoever ends up in office. Thanks for the laugh which prompted me to serious consideration. God Bless you, Teresa
Hi Leo, I once heard about a man who was campaigning for a friend whom he described as "a really good man." The fellow being addressed said, "Well sir, that settles it. I won't be voting for him. Politics has already ruined too many good men." I liked the humorous way you addressed this fitting subject for this election year.
Fantastic article, Leo. You've got their number that's for sure! Should all the politicians be so honest! Good job.
