If you want to be a politician you need to shy away from inflammatory hyperbolic statements, or else you will have a very short career ala the former Congressman Alan Grayson.
Fortunately for you, then, I have no intentions on becoming a politician in the near future! My political career has spanned student parliament, lol, in which I did win awards for being the most active member and was notorious for being the loud mouth who would come up with the solution that went against option A and option B, and usually winning. I guess in terms of being a politician, what I would have going for me is that a., I'm honest all of the time, which helps me not fumble with words and b., I have mad public speaking skills, yo. You know if 53 percent of Americans support equal rights for gay Americans, shouldn't that be a wakeup call for these politicians? Like hey, listen, represent all the people, not just yourself. That's where I always try to stand.

@Gavin: Yes, I am Sicilian and Irish, but mostly raised exclusively by my Sicilian side so don't really have many Irish qualities. I have heard 'wog' used before, but here they say 'wop' more often. I like to combine it and say I'm a McWhopper
