Politicians deserve not your allegiance - they work FOR you!

They Are But Tools

Politicians - no matter they're affiliation - are but our representatives (i.e., tax-funded employees). They and/or our support of them should never be the definition of who we are. Likewise, we should not attribute our views/values to any of them - they don't know us any more than we truly know them. They work for us... that is all.
