Sometimes you get politicians who dig their feet into the sand and aren't willing to listen to another voice.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
People have a huge desire to be listened to, for politicians to take the time to understand their problems.
Politicians in Washington and Madison aren't hearing, aren't listening to their constituents and prioritizing getting people back to work and growing our economy.
And when we draw lines in the sand with regard to certain basic things that are vital to our interest and to the interest of democracy and our friends around the world, we have to be willing to back that up.
Politicians like to tell people what they want to hear - and what they want to hear is what won't happen.
It's always an interesting experience for a politician to be heard in silence, I have to say.
I have seen the times when the grassroots has moved the Congress. We listen way more often to our constituents than the lobbyists. And the grassroots are going to have to do it.
Politicians are so... detested; they don't actually walk amongst people now.
Every politician, every president gets votes by getting people that don't like him to like him. That's why politicians are slippery: because they talk out of both sides of their mouth.
Any time the president talks, you listen.
Politicians are good listeners. Because if they're not, they aren't politicians for very long.
