All the wrong ideas

Objection, your honour.

Read the following quotes made by the senator of Maryland county in the year 2008:

“The aim of joining an association or any political party is to reap the benefit at the end of the day and not to suffer for others who did not contribute anything towards the success to enjoy it.”

“Our partisans are really suffering; it is now time that we give them jobs so that they would be able to support their families. If we don’t put our feet on the ground to ensure that our people get job, the party stands to lose the next election,” the Maryland County Senator warned.

Can you believe this? This is the kind of backward thinking that undermines democracy anywhere in the world today.

If the gentleman went vote-fishing on electionday with promising people jobs if they voted for him, then your man has a very deranged idea about what democracy is.
