I love that quote "Idolizing a politician is like believing the stripper really likes you."

There is a class of people that love status, money and authority. It is all-consuming to them, the end all, be all. These type of folks are drawn to politics, because you don't actually have to be competent (they are also drawn to leadership high leadership in other organizations). Once you understand that they really are all about power, you know to listen to everything they say with that bias. It's not about truth, or doing the right thing and certainly not about you. It's about perpetuating status/money/power. Hillary Clinton is a good example, she just can't let it go. The only solution in my mind is to devolve the power to lower levels (federalism). At least as you get more local, there is some chance that some of the politicos will be in it for the right reasons.

What you say may be true about most strippers, but I KNOW for a fact that Tiffany really likes me!
