Representation without Integrity
Analogy: The outside of a tree can only be as fruitfully-strong as the inside core of the wood. In other words, rarely does a political campaigner campaign with the credence of what he or she says. As a rule, they simply promise what ever we want to here to influence the majority of votes from us to get into office. Let’s just give a political campaigner the benefit of the doubt and say that the campaigning was done with good intentions and got into the office of the Senate or Congress. What happens now? Analogy: If the inside-core of the wood is rotten how can it bare a fruitfully-prolific growth? It’s impossible! Thus, becoming a part of the core its-self of a disingenuous supercilious egocentric system. We’ve all heard of the saying, (you scratch my back and I’ll scratch yours) and with that said, there are too many backs that can’t be scratched to truly represent our best interest with Integrity.
The fact is, most of the campaigners only run for the power and greed of what that political office that they know will benefit them. Consider this, a Senator or a Congressman only has to serve a one time term to take advantage of a very lucrative salary, benefits, perks and expense program while in office and after leaving that office, they draw the same for life.
Seven times Congress surreptitiously went behind closed doors and voted themselves hefty benefit/pay increases while voting down the hourly pay raise increase of the minimum wage pay program during that same period of time. I ask you, how rotten of a core can the tree get before you realize it has to be cut down? Yet, those same Congressmen will have the audacity to go after the minimum wagers re-election vote. Beaming with the sociability of concern for us during election year, we are only as valuable as our vote is to them until re-election. You would have to be a mindless minion not to get it!
My personal sentiment is that with a blind eye our elected political leaders won’t seriously consider as an issue an inequitable Minimum Wage Program, Taking care of our soldiers of casualties of war, Our Homeland Border Security, Global Warming, Alternative Energy Resources Due to the Greed of Oil, The Greed of Healthcare cost, Pharmaceutical Prescription Cost, Our Unfair Social Security, and Retirement Programs, all compared to our elected politicians. They simply don’t want to rock the boat. It is all about the re-election of staying in office and taking advantage of their powerful affluent lucrative positions. Except for fighting each other and or being bought off by special interests, there are no real distinctions from or of a Republican or a Democratic leader simply because, the end result will invariably remain the same and that is looking out for their self-centered egocentric best interest and not ours and always at the cost of the voter.
Again, there can be none more dishonorable than that of a devious representative that was elected into a political office of and by the people for the trustworthiness of Integrity Thinking, then betraying the people for the worse and not the better through deceptive practices while in office!
