And weighed accordingly. If we are looking for perfection we will be surely disappointed.As with most things, it depends.For a Senator, six years is a term. If they are a responsible steward of the people’s trust for 5.5 of them and goes campaigning and “extrapolating” (LOL) the 1/2 year before the election, does that erase the other 5.5?If he or she did that would he or she be considered “good?"It goes hand in hand. If the people had virtue they would vote out the bad "public servants" and correct their errors. Instead we are caught up in a football team mentality where we look the other way for "our" guys and unfairly criticize "their" guys.
You don't get what you expect. You only get what you inspect.
Well, okay…but isn’t it possible to have a good public servant or one you consider “good” who gets into what I call “election mode” and goes down the road of making claims to fire up her/his base? I think it would be unreasonable to expect zero partisanship around election time.
ok…
I think the whole record should be examined.
