You don't need to spend tens of millions of dollars on political consultants to tell you what you think when you already know what you think.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Forget the consultants, the pundits and the pollsters; good policy is good politics.
Politics has become unbelievably and unfortunately way too much about how much money is involved rather than what kind of ideas are involved.
I'm not a great deep political thinker.
A lot of politicians, not surprisingly, hire consultants to help them with their nonverbals, presence, generally how they come across.
I do not believe wealthy candidates should spend vast resources in their own campaigns.
Political consultants are pugilists, masters in the dark art of negativity. Which is why it's surprising to hear Democrats such as Steve McMahon and Republicans like Rich Galen urging their presidential candidates to be more, well, positive.
It's not just politicians. Any spokesman for a vested interest is well schooled in how to say what it is they wish to say, which may bear no relation at all to what you've asked them.
But I don't need to use politics as a way of making money.
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?
I can't give political advice to politicians.
