Well, at the risk of pushing this farther down the political track and thus being a bad example of a moderator, I couldn't guess which is which these days. I know what they would've been 10 or 20 years ago. These days? Not so much....
More's the pity. Entrenched incumbency is the problem. They all tend to become the party of government the longer they are in office. Some start off that way and others take time to acclimate to their environment. The worst are the one’s who’ve never really done anything else. Show me someone who’s dreamed of being a politician since childhood and I’ll show you someone who should never be allowed in government.
We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.
