There's something just so kind of smooth about politicians.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Politicians are trying to attract people to issues.
We tend to think of politicians as time-servers and slackers. But on those committees they usually have an interest in the subject. And they're quite clever. I've seen them pick people apart.
Politicians are wonderful people as long as they stay away from things they don't understand, such as working for a living.
Generally speaking, politicians are an odd bunch. They seem to have very thick skins and genuinely don't care what people think. And charm is a very important part of the politician's armoury. I try to resist that kind of charm.
If we meet an honest and intelligent politician, a dozen, a hundred, we say they aren't like politicians at all, and our category of politicians stays unchanged; we know what politicians are like.
There's a great public disinclination toward politicians.
When you start to think about politicians, you've got to realize these are strange creatures. Other than the fact that they can't tell directions, and they have very strange breeding habits, how do you actually work with these things?
And I think there is too much bloviating around from politicians.
Unlike the general public, I rather like most politicians.
Politicians are no different than the rest of the public.
