Hmm?
So I don't have to go to work until after the election either? SWEET!!!!!!!
These politicians work all the time. Are you kidding me? Getting elected is a work in itself with long hours, it must be a grind to be surrounded by people almost all the time too. Kinda like commission work since the outcome is uncertain.
Among those things which keep people out of politics are the requirements of: having lots of energy; doggedness and determination; a certain shamelessness; and the ability to get along with people.
Plus, you have to learn how to be a successful politician which means hours put in working for other successful politicians, often for free, at routine and menial jobs.
As in the case of the Mafia, you can’t accuse politicians of not working hard, not always for our good.
