Incumbent Stumping for Candidates
How refreshing it would be to actually have a politician spend the time in which they are in office ACTUALLY working and not using that time running for re-election or, especially, buffing the coffers of his party or extending his coat-tails to make appearances at underling events.
How many times have we watched the President or even a governor going to closed party events with paid plate dinners for the benefit of the party. Or speaking at some representative/senatorial candidate conference to amp the voters into thinking that such and such person is the ONE and only option to come to work with him.
I want people that work. I reward and vote for people on the merits of the work they do as MY representative, not the party's and not the President's/Governor's.
These people are elected to serve US while they are in office... not the party mechanations. They seem to lose sight of the fact that WE vote in everyone... not for the benefit of making their job easier, to get their policies passed more easily, to make redistricting pass smoothly, etc... we elect these people to serve.
Stop spending your time trying to brainwash us into thinking that as a leader you know what is right for us by leading us to the candidate that will make your life easier. Get back to work already. I don't respect this crap. In fact, how about you pay back the government (state or fed, whichever be the case) for the time you wasted by working for your party's benefit and not the public's like you are elected to do.
Better yet... how about we bill the party and/or the candidate for your time each time you pull one of these stunts.
