We Must Demand Higher Ethics From Our Politicians

If we wish to progress, and strengthen our communities, states, and even our nation as a whole then we are going to need more solid individuals running for office. We need people with higher ethical standards, those who are willing to tell us the truth, and we must listen to that truth without demanding free stuff, or voting in someone is willing to lie to us to appease our every want and desire.

Not long ago, I was having a conversation with an acquaintance and we were talking about how ridiculous it was that a certain city had reelected their mayor, a mayor who had mismanaged the city, taken bribes, and was irresponsible in almost every way imaginable. We got to talking and this is the comment we came up with;

"It's amazing what people can be led to believe sometimes from podium pushing politicians, with packed pocketbooks, and passionate PACs."

Still, one has to ask if the citizens and voters of this great nation will ever wake up. It's almost gotten to the point that we fully expect our politicians to be corrupt, and have low ethical standards. And to this we aspire? We have lowered our own standards so much that we are willing to deal with this, often choosing the lesser of two evils when both candidates have questionable ethics.

Why on earth would we settle for such when we live in the greatest nation the world has ever known. It makes absolutely no sense whatsoever, and yet, we go on each election cycle and do the same thing over and over again; the definition of insanity in its purest form, but why? Why doesn't anybody ask, why won't we demand higher standards of our politicians and podium pushers question. I hope you will please consider this.
