Democratic Primaries

Reminds me of a lame joke and play on words that an old boss of mine would always say: "Hey, how's it going? Working hard, or hardly working?"

Public servants like Sharice Davids work hard and seek NO extra attention or fame for their accomplishments. Her constituents are very lucky to have someone like Ms. Davids.

In my long life, I've seen many different politicians who were famous for being famous. And this is before the age of twitter and facebook. They were well known for being handsome or photogenic or their style or their attitude (both good and bad, sweet and annoying) but they weren't known for the things they accomplished for their constituents, or for their legislative accomplishments.

The "celebrity" aspect of politics these days really annoys me. It allows politicians to do less and lower their standards as long as they can get more youtube views of their Sunday talk show appearances and more friends on facebook and more twitter followers.

I think as a nation, we deserve better.
