We get it - you're a lying weasel! What's a surprise is you admit it:

When one runs for office is it samrt to run as a radical without censoring ones speech, or is it better to speak carefully. No politican talks without self censoring.

When I was the State Director of Alcoholism and Drug Abuse, privately I was for fully legalizing pot, but I knew that was not a viable political option, or the policy of the commission or governor, so I kept that to myself.

As well, when I wrote memos to the commissioner or governor or for either one, I stuck strictly to the norms of normal political discourse. There is a political language one must know in order to hold those positions and I knew I had to stick to it, or I woul dbe fired in a New York minute.

Knowing how to write memo's and the political game is paramount to holding big jobs in any government.


Koan doesn't know that people who really hold moderate or conservative views, as opposed to radical ones, don't have to self-censor themselves.
