Politicians are pretty much puppets, but they do gain some political power by being puppets. If your a good little puppet, you might get away with all kinds of things. And if your a good, dirty little puppet, you might get a cut or get to drink for free at the country club. Oh who am I kidding, there are all kinds of fringe benefits to being a puppet.

They all go into office wanting to make a change, but the puppet master is pulling the strings from behind the curtain and has the final say.

Then the little puppets boo hoo hoo because they really thought they were going to make a difference....and we all know what they do to bad puppets who wouldnt do as they're told.

Poor little puppets, they didnt know they were just being used.

They also make good scapegoats. "We didnt do it, it was him, its his fault, its that puppets fault", and no one can see the puppet master so he gets away with it every time.

Thats how our political system was designed.

Its dirty politics.
