Two Kinds Of Politicians

I believe the answer to the original question posed by Mzz Finney in the Democrat e-letter for "America's Next Top Pundit Idol and Democrat spokesperson" promotion can be found below.

While I am no Ronald Reagan by any stretch of the imagination, (one of the greatest leaders of our time) I have been elected to two terms in public office and when I made the decision to enter politics (a long time ago) I realized there were basically two kinds of politicians ...aside from the obvious party platform differences.
I asked myself which kind was I going to be?

Option number one is the kind of politician who leads by seeking to reflect the attitudes and opinions of "the citizens" whatever that may be at the time according to subjective review. This type politician claims to not infer his/her views on others, but instead gathers the prevailing view of the perceived majority and adopts that position. Power to the people! (Rule by committee, finger in the wind)

Option number two is the kind of politician who considers the facts, forms an opinion, takes a personal stand on issues and clearly states his/her opinions without worrying about what the so-called majority thinks. This type politician lets the voters who agree vote for him/her and those that don't agree- won't vote for him/her. Let the chips fall where they may.
This is a leader.
America needs LEADERS not panderers and appeasers.
In these times we cannot afford to run the country by opinion poles and surveys (which are rigged and designed to get specific results in the first place). We have elections to put in office the person(s) we want to run the country the way they promised they would... not to run the country by conducting an opinion pole or focus group on every issue.

Option number one is also the most vulnerable to special interest groups who form the loudest and most visible voice that politicians hear and see. If you run your politics by putting your finger in the air, guess who is going to be blowing on your finger (or worse). Therefore, you have one party (and possibly the country) controlled by special interest groups and not by "the people".

You can tell by the post below (which was an actual email sent from the DNC) asking...no begging voters and non-voters to tell the Democrat Party WHAT the Democrat policy and message is, what kind of politicians the Democrats are. Stick his/her finger in the air to determine what his/her position is. (So what if they are guilty of constant flip flopping... so are the voters!)

This is NOT leadership and it's NOT proper governing. It's pandering, jr High politics at best and it's just one more reason I am NOT a Democrat. Zero leadership.

BTW, the answer to the original question posed by the Democrat letter below is option number two. But to answer their "other question" on Iraq, the Democrats just banned the term "global war on terror" and they don't believe we are even in a war, so any new Democrat spokesperson would first need to admit that there is a war.
Regarding the so-called "issues important to Americans" in the email, do you hear any Democrats discussing fixing the border problem or enforcing immigration laws? (cricket noise)
How about Democrats discussing their strategy for dealing with the Islamic holy war being waged against the US? (crickets)
Reducing Taxes? (crickets)
Creating jobs? (crickets)
The new Democrat spokesperson (BTW, does anyone know who or where the former/current spokesperson is?) does have one thing going for him/her, ...a blank slate to work with.
Laughable but scary.
