Politics Is A Dirty Game !

A couple weeks ago, I reminded a Brother who is running for mayor in the near future, to watch out for " Opposition Research " ? He later posted that he is not going to run a traditional campaign, he is going to be himself. My unsolicited advice was to let him know that less is more, when it comes to social media postings. That what ever you say publicly will be used against you in your campaign ( Opposite Research ), he basically let it be known that he did not care, he is going to run it the way he wants too. My friendly advice was just to help him but maybe I offended him ? One thing I do know is if a person is serious about running for office, expect your past, secrets and any and all dirt will be exposed publicly. Once a politician's dirt is exposed, his or her life and families life will never be the same again ! I wish this Brother well in his pursuit of being a " Mayor ", I hope he takes it seriously, because once you start running ,make sure you always think about the people first because if not, then people will feel used for a publicity stunt !
