Political Power vs Political Access
“You have to be politically FEARED to be politically RESPECTED.”
We have written about this before (HERE) … but it seems time for a reminder.
The #1 mistake we see new people and groups getting involved in the political process … the mistake we made ourselves (so not judging) … is people confuse “Power” with “Access”.
Access “feels” nice. You are listened to, you have a seat at the table, your phone calls are returned … they say nice things about you … but access really means you are “Never being perceived as a threat.” You may think you are friends with these people … but as President Truman said, if you want a friend in Washington, get a dog!
Power however is actually getting a politician to do what you want them to do … even if that is as simple as getting them to do what they said they would do on the campaign trial … or to simply follow the Republican Platform.
[NOTE: Another novice “misunderstanding” is thinking people / politicians / GOP officials would never just outright lie to your face. Trust no one!!! Verify everything!!! Good people don’t mind you asking questions. Know that these people lie constantly.]
MAKING THE HARD “ASK”: But wait until you ask a legislator to do something … the basics … like provide us with Medical Freedom, take PORN Books out of our libraries and schools … or God forbid you ask them to give us CLOSED PRIMARIES!!!
Ask them specifically what they will do, and all of a sudden you will learn there are 1,000 “excuses” … and you will know the difference between “political access” and “political power”.
We have seen it with SCHOOL CHOICE. Kids are needlessly suffering, it is an easy fix, and even the most far right school choice supporters cower at the prospect of crossing the “establishment”. They know the issue, yet they won’t speak up. That is when you know their true character.
Once you ask for something objectively right to do, but against the power structure … you will find out real quick your “access” means nothing. We did!!!
Your phone calls will no longer be returned. You will finally understand that politicians only care about getting elected or re-elected … and you will learn that unless you have the ability to REPLACE THEM, what you want for “We The People” really won’t matter if what you ask for is “hard”.
On the wall at HQ:
“You have to be politically FEARED to be politically RESPECTED.”
As we stated the last time we discussed this topic … if you don’t see it yet, you will, so just give it time and keep asking questions.
But if you are still excited to get a “selfie” with Lindsey Graham, you are probably reading the wrong daily emails and might want to unsubscribe. 😉

Here’s to the red of it: There’s not a thread of it, No, nor a shred of it In all the spread of it From foot to head, But heroes bled for it, Faced steel and lead for it, Precious blood shed for it, Bathing it Red!
Here’s to the white of it: Thrilled by the sight of it, Who knows the right of it But feels the might of it Through the day and night? Womanhood’s care for it, Made manhood dare for it, Purity’s prayer for it Keeps it so White!
Here’s to the blue of it: Beauteous view of it, Heavenly hue of it, Star-spangled dew of it — Constant and true. States stand supreme for it, Diadems gleam for it, Liberty’s beam for it Brightens the Blue!
Here’s to the whole of it: Stars, stripes and pole of it, Body and soul of it; O, and the roll of it, Sun shining through; Hearts in accord for it, Swear by the sword for it, Thanking the Lord for it, Red White and Blue!
