A little while ago, John Edwards admitted that he had a baby with his mistress. My first question is how is this going to effect the life of that poor child? My second question is why do we elect these people?Why do we elect people like Rod Blagojivich who we can now see are totally corrupt. Do people become corrupt after getting into politics or do corrupt people get into politics?
There is some evidence that people give in to politics and corruption as their lives continue. There are lots of people who stuck by their guns early in their lives, then gave in to the politics of America. John McCain may have been a free thinking independent for the 2000 race who believed in helping Americans, by 2008, he chose Sarah Palin as his VP.
I was talking with one of my friend's fathers and he said that McCain did seem to actually do politics because he loved America. He said that most people get into politics to have their egos stroked.
Barak Obama, I believe, loves America. If he gets caught up in a real scandal (I'm not talking about Acorn garbage made up by right wingers) I don't think I will ever be able to trust American politicians again. The way that his voice is so compelling, his rhetoric so beautiful, I feel like he cares for reasons other than his political career. If he is lying, I don't know how I will ever be able to discern between political lies and sincere discourse.
