I regard politics to be a slightly less honorable profession than prostitution.
That means I regard the vast majority of politicians to be slightly lower than w****s.
So as long as a politician supports my agenda, I’ll be ok with him or her. But if that politician tries to go for a “wealthier suitor”, I won’t hesitate to dump him/her.
I don’t expect any greater loyalty from a politician than from a prostitute. There are a couple of rare exceptions. But those exceptions are very rare.
And if there are any questions, consider the number of ‘pubbies we elected in the 2010 Tea Party red wave that virtually instantly turned on us.
I consider politics to be the "legitimate business" a mobster keeps as a front for his real business.
