Can you say, the boot?

We crusify the ones who do. Look at the grief Ried got for his statement recently. And Biden has been raked over the coals for speaking his mind his whole career. Yeah, we say we want a straight shooter, but when we get one we kill them. What we reward is a very savvy politician who can act like he's a straight shooter. You can see how that gets us to a lot of slime balls. Lately, being a straight shooter means you stand in front of TV cameras are are very angry- you're reflecting the anger of the people! But, no, not really. You're just putting on a show and then going back to pushing your agenda.
