Our View of the Elections in General
First of all, for those of you who voted, consider yourselves lucky, its quite a luxury to be able to have the final say…even though 10 years ago, our final say may have been altered [cough] Dade County, FL [cough]. As residents of California, we are happy with some of the results! Governor-Elect Brown, Lt. Gov-Elect Newsom, Sen. Boxer and others. However, we are unsettled by our home state of Illinois since Mark Kirk was elected US Senator-an anti-Gay individual who may cause trouble for himself more than others. READ HERE from Towleroad.
Why we picked out Mark Kirk to talk about is that there is this denial in the air. The air is thick with denial. Untruthful candidates-not that surprising, but do politicians have to change because of the 24 hr news cycle, and blogs? Or do they just have to be honest of who they are, where they are coming from, and maybe ask “Where will I be in X amount of years?” Will I be honest about who I am, telling my constituents that I was honest with them or myself, or just plain lied? It may be a victory for Mark Kirk, but the closet doors are creaking, and if the doors do open, what then?
We usually hate this question when asked in interviews, but if we really thought about it in a grand scale and asked candidates Where will you, your home life, your private life, sex life, future bills, future votes, strengths, and pending weaknesses will you see by the end of your first term? There would be some interesting answers. It needs to be asked more.
