When the policy is controversial, you have to go out and defend it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It's really important that policy be properly designed. It's not enough just to.. .get angry over a subject.
The day-to-day making of policy is arguing all the time. You're trying to get the right approach and the right answer, and there are moments that aren't very pleasant. But in the end, you look at the overall product.
Criticism of a policy is welcome. But in the garb of criticizing a policy, if you allege that the policy was made for corrupt purposes, I reject it.
Whatever I do becomes controversial.
Reasonable people can reasonably disagree on policy.
If a policy is wrongheaded, feckless and corrupt, I take it personally and consider it a moral obligation to sound off and not shut up until it's fixed.
Controversial means somebody who makes people think. And if you are afraid of people who will be against you, you might as well stay home and do nothing.
Politics doesn't matter, policy does.
Just because you say something doesn't make it controversial, and it doesn't make you a bad person.
Animosity is not a policy.
