“Politicians want office, power, and applause – period. And most sell their souls without the slightest hesitation to increase their prospects of receiving such tacky and ego-bloating ‘rewards.’ So politicians are neither courageous nor leaders. Instead, they are cowards who pander to crowds and then pretend that their typically idiotic orations to the crowds are evidence of their genius, humanity, and courage. All in all, politicians are a loathsome and disgusting lot.” Don Boudreaux
