Gotta love his 3rd person self references.
But, I think it's true. A politician's job is to represent my view, no?

Not yours no [img]smile.gif[/img] Those of the people who voted for him [img]smile.gif[/img] He should run on what used to be called a "plank" Ie state what he believes in, what he will fight for and allow people whith those valuse to vote for him. Not change his opinion every other week during the election campaign so that you have no idea where he as a man stands. You need to be able to know what kind of person your representative is. (and we won't discuss politicians that flip flop on issues cause almost all of them do to suit their own ends)
