To be quite honest, there things I am quite lousy at. Persuasion is one of them. If I could be persuasive, I'd be married by now, living a normal American lifestyle. Apparently being good looking and intelligent aren't enough. And by the way, when I was younger, I wasn't bad looking.
If I was persuasive, I'd be senior Pastor at a mega-church by now. I also might be President of the United States, which would be a big improvement over what we have, even if I must say so myself.
Oh there are people who agree with me. Some even say if I was on the ballot they'd voye for me. But noone ever says, "I'll help you get there." It boils down to I'm not persuasive. There are people that can say, "do this," and someone will do it. I say, "do this," guess who does it. Yep, me if I can.
It's hard to be productive with producers. There can't be a campaign without campaigners. And it's so very frustrating becaus I know I have ideas that will help this Country. For example, how many of you would like to stop paying the income tax. Then why not support someone that will get rid of the income tax, instead of continually voting for people that will not end the income tax.
What about you "pro-lifers"? Why wouldn't you support someone that has a plan to end abourtion. Instead, you keep voting for those that don't.
The problem is the American people are not true to their convictions, if they have any. Pro-life Republicans will vote for a pro-abortion Republicans because they don't want Democrats in office. And, conservative Democrats will vote for liberal Democrats because they don't want Republicans in office.
Many say they would like a third alternative, but then cave in to the media who tells them minor party and independent candidates don't have a chance in this 2 party system. And the masses believe it.
Now, how can I persuade millions if I can't persuade a handful?
I'm not there yet, but I am getting close to hanging it up, when it comes to politics. Without the power of persuasion I couldn't win election for dog catcher.
Whatever this is, I don't have it.
