Family Security Matters » Publications » Exclusive: America’s New ‘Obnoxicrats’: "What does it take to get elected to high political office in America these days?
Start with a requirement to beg for money. Big money. As in seven figures. As in days, weeks and months on the rubber-chicken circuit nodding heads, shaking hands and swapping jokes with people of means, many of whom believe they’re buying a piece of you with their campaign donations.
Then add the requirement of putting yourself and your friends and family through an invasive examination by a media bent on finding whatever back-breaking scandal they can get their hands on. Heaven forbid someone took your picture when you had too much to drink one night or that your brother got in a bar fight 10 years ago; such blemishes on one’s honor might finish your political career before it even begins.
Such a life simply doesn’t appeal to the most talented people in America. What do we get in return?
Chuck Schumer."
