Would you run for political office?

[hardcorecubfan]

How many of you would run for a public service office, it can be at any level?

[hardcorecubfan]

This is a student survey for my class. The student just asked if you could put what office you would seek as a comment.

 

Thank you

Perhaps one day city council or school board, but not mayor or governor or anything.

[Cynosure]

No, I don't believe in lying to thousands/millions of people.

[dew1679666265]

I'd run for governor or either house of Congress. Those, in my opinion, are/should be the most prestigious positions in this country to hold.

[OleMissCub]

Absolutely not.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

I highly doubt it, unless I find myself living in a town of 30 people that needs a mayor

[Derwood]

I'm so not a Type A personality. I've never been a leader and don't have the personality traits to rally people to do things

[hardcorecubfan]

Absolutely not.

 

Wait, you can't say that, you are becoming a lawyer. Isn't that the next step after becoming a lawyer?

[OleMissCub]

Absolutely not.

I'm already a lawyer. Most politicians are lawyers, but most lawyers don't become politicians.

I wouldn't want to put myself under that level of scrutiny.

[Roast]

[cbbryan]

I'd have to pay off a ton of people or name them to my cabinet.

[rawaction]

I wouldn't want to be President, but I would like to hold any other office in the country. At one point, I was going to get into politics, but I decided against it.

[Tracer Bullet]

I'd definitely do a school board type position, but not much beyond that.

[ZiggyTaxi]

I'd be too worried about them digging up dirt on my past.

 

7th grade. Sam Goody. Friend I was with randomly tries to steal a CD. Yada yada yada I end up in the back of a police car with a crying 7th grader sitting next to me.

 

Could you imagine if my real fans ever got wind of this?

I would run for anything but wouldn't lie. Its been my experience the people who are good people and don't try to be like most politicians end up winning because he is actually truthful. We've come to a time when people are sick of how politics are and tend to vote (normally not in a presidential race or governor race) for the person they believe is most trustworthy. Then again I have almost always risen to a leadership role in whatever I do (radio station, sports etc.). I don't feel right unless I am leading (doesn't mean I have to be in control I tend to be a relaxed leader who just directs people and not order).

 

My past if it still exists would be a bad one. I was a pretty bad kid despite being raised in middle class with parents who taught us all the good things. I smoked from ages 10-11 and got caught stealing twice when I was 11 (first time the manager just happened to be walking back in from a break when I ran out, second time I was just stupid). I never smoked again until I was 18 (smoked for about 6 months and then quit) and have never stolen since the second time I got caught.

[Vanilla Ice]

yea, but not for president

[TruffleShuffle]

no, i'm too honest, so either (a) i would have to change that or (b) i'd be a terrible politician.

[Skyballer]

I don't work for a school for a living I would definitely want to run for the school board.

I have been mentally ready for a kid since before 18

State Senator...of Oregon

[biittner77]

I'm vice President of our Little League, does that count?

 

The key to politics is sincerity. If you can fake that you've got it made.

Very nice. This sounds like something Woody Allen would say.
