Dont you just hate them?

dont you just hate those candidates that run for a certain position but are not qualified for it. or worse, they win the position but don't do what they are supposed to do. its like running for a legislative position only to do executive work. what the? why did you run for that position when you're primarily going to do executive functions? at least some people know that. like this government official who was asked to run for senator but turned down the offer, saying that's not his field. he knows he is effective serving the people doing executive work, not legislative stuff. so even if he has a chance of winning the position, he'd rather not, knowing the senate seat would be a waste if he occupied it.

dont you just hate those candidates who run saying that they want to serve the people but they themselves are clueless of what are the people's problems? what are the issues that need to be addressed? what are the things that need to be done? they are dependent on their advisers to coach them on what to do and even what to say! they need other people to tell them what the crap's happening. what a bunch of idiots! but they win anyway because they have the charming personality that wins the people's hearts...and votes.

dont you just hate those candidates that run just because it seems that they just want to add it to their acomplishments in life? well, how many people could claim they have been president of a country or senator? only a handful right? but running just because of that? so you could put it in your resume "president" or "vice president" for so and so number of years? ambitious bastards! and when they win, and they are actually sitting, what do they do? ok maybe some do get the job done, but others just dont care anymore. just comply with the minimum requirements of the position in order to stay in power. what matters to them is that they have something for their resumes, or something to say to other people during parties or get togethers...or something other people could say about them.

dont you just hate it that even if candidates are not qualified, are clueless of the real issues and problems, and more inclined to serve their own interests than the public's, they manage to win anyway, again and again? why do people keep voting like this? dont they know, its the end of the world? I wake up in the morning and I wonder why everything's the same as it was. I can't understand, no, I can't understand. How life goes on the way it does. (I would like to thank Nina Gordon for the last few lines, lyrics from her song "The End of the World")
