It starts off interesting, but ends a bit abruptly. If possible, I would like a little more at the end about your thinking about all this, some philosophy etc. (Unless it was all a political jab).

PS. Mitt wants what ALL politicians want. A roof over his head, food on the table, running water and unlimited power.




I think it's very unfair to portray all politicians that way. For example, where I live, we have three parties which have been sharing the powers since the transition to democracy (38 years ago), three others which don't go above 7% of the votes, and thirteen others which don't get a single seat in the Parliament.

Do you really think that the leaders of those parties are after unlimited power? Or any power at all - the PM's maid has probably more power than them.

Or for another example, take the current leaders of Communist Party USA, and all the power they have.

Any of those would have a much greater chance at power if they joined the bigger parties.
