Based on recent history where SO many in Congress are seeking Higher office (another Job), differentiated, from one seeking the same job in an effort of re-election for the same office, particularly problematic for those involved in a two year terms of office who are proven more motivated to do a good job while in their current position more so than one seeking entirely another position of higher position and power.
While essentially, in effectiveness, both are, in effect, often absent without leave, the former, by time constraints are forced to start running for re-election as soon, as they are elected. While the latter higher position job seeker seems more prone to be far more inattentive to the current job they were elected and are paid to do, than they are in doing it.
Especially in this era were the effort of seeking higher office is not for mere months but for years.
My question is simply this, under what law, regulation and or rule are members of Congress or public servants at large, accountable for being on the job, and doing the job they were elected (hired) to do. If none, then why are they justified in being so privileged when no others in America, than them, are?
I am not aware of any occupation in America where a person can openly and willfully neglect their current duties and job while openly and willingly seeking another and still get paid as if they were doing their job equally as those who are not seeking or running openly for another job of higher position and or office.
If the political machinery are really interested in understand anything about the empty bucket of change that is the Obama-nation phenomena, understand it is, in the core of this inquiry, which is so well exampled in the usual Congressional obliviousness to the perception of excepted privileges and business as usual, which creates, at a minimum, the Hyperbole of urban mythology expressed as anger and frustration at all governance by the average Joe and or Mary out here.
Thus even an empty bucket of change becomes more acceptable than a full bucket of unknown and unaccountable substance that is so viewless, colorless and odorless, as is this Nation of unconscious Political Machine operatives of oblivious business as usual in venues of special privileges.
It seems what is in the American Interest, not party or politician’s interests is simply this. If a public servant wants a new job as a higher positioned public servant, they should step aside from the old one for someone else who really wants to do it in the greater good theory incorporated in the of and by the people principal. Thus take their chance at being employed in the new position or unemployed as the public will, fate and skill may have it.
The current system of public servants in excepted Privilege, having their cake and eating it to, at the expense of the great good of the people is absurdly narcissistic in the vernacular of public perception as the hated business as usual of inside politics exceptions to the rule that are among many things Congress and all governance at large do, that angers the average American.
Thus, in all due respect to a articulate and crafty politician, giving rise to the baseless substance to the empty bucket of Obama-nation as was so well exampled in that disastrous change for changes shake knee jerk, that gave rise to the Carter-Impotent-nation-ism of long ago. A knee jerk which I humbly in error took in the absurdity that any change is good.
Though, in thoughtless preparation, an empty bucket may seem easy to fill so it can carry substance to where it needed and timely as intended, in comparison, a bucket full of known substance leaves the ambiguity of uncertainty in finding substance in an empty bucket or not, timely or not, to where it is needed or not, thoughtfully prepared, to be used, at when and how intended.
