I have a relative who is the county sheriff. He is a dim. I have never understood why. He is a Christian. But the dims got him to run for election some years ago, backed him, and he won. Now they continue to back him. He has played with switching parties because he is afraid that he is going to be held liable at the next election for Obama and his policies. I told him he will, and should. I told him, you support the dims, you are a dim, you say you are a Christian, yet you support a party that pushes abortion and homo marriage. How can you do that? I think he is a coward. He had rather throw out what he says he believes in to stay in office. He is afraid that if he changes from dim to rep that he will not get reelected, but if he stays a dim, he might not get reelected. I again, believe him to be a coward for not standing up for his Faith and not a political party. Basically, he makes me sick. I have never voted for him and will not. If he jumps parties, I have thought that I still cannot vote for him even if he switches. The switch would only be because he fears that he will be liable because he was a dim.
You just described the majority of LEO’s in this country. They are mostly men (and a few women) who are devoid of any moral compass. Whose main goal is to stay elected and then go into retirement and continue to live handsomely off the voters. Oh and most of them are into abuse of their office and the citizens they claim to “serve.”
I sympathize. I have a sister who actually said to me “I guess I’m a SOCIALIST!”
And she works for the city, as the comptroller for the FIRE DEPARTMENT! (eek!)
