MotherJones: "How Hillary Clinton's State Department Sold Fracking to the World"

97. Every single politician knows that is what they sign up for when they decide to become

politicians.

Every one of them.

The only way that they wouldn't be subject to attacks by the opposition would be if we lived within a totalitarian government that didn't allow it.

It's the price of freedom.

The person who wants to run for an office when they and their families will be under attack is someone who either wants to secure massive financial gains for themselves while they serve the global financial elite (most of our politicians) OR someone who wants to try and fight to help better things for average citizens in this country (frighteningly few of our politicians).

Politicians get paid very well for being subjected to political attacks, and I'm sure that most of them let it roll right off their backs. There are people who are well suited to be able to do this.

For the life of me I can't understand why you are COMPLAINING about politicians being subject to "attacks" if you value a free and open society. That will ALWAYS happen in such a system.
