I'm fascinated by politicians, because I suspect the huge majority of them go into it full of ideas and for the best possible reasons but end up being hijacked.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
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?
Politics has become unbelievably and unfortunately way too much about how much money is involved rather than what kind of ideas are involved.
Personally, I have as little to do with politicians as possible. The ones that I've met I've found very boring. They're extremely egotistical, incredibly self-important. If I can help it, I try to stay as far away from them as possible.
Most politicians come into politics because they want to make a difference; we just have different ideas how to do it.
I'm fascinated by political enthusiasm.
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.
And I think there is too much bloviating around from politicians.
My passion for ideas is not matched with a passion for partisan or electoral politics.
I think the truth is always interesting, but with politicians, you don't get to see much of that.
