Political Double Speak


It really annoys me when politicians, or someone in general is willing to sacrifice their own personal beliefs to get ahead. Meg Whitman, who was the former CEO of eBay before stepping down was a staunch supporter of Mitt Romney before he bowed out of the Republican Primary and then supported John McCain. In February she announced she would run for Governor of California, against a crowded group of Republicans. Her rhetoric, which was echoed by the McCain campaigned did not please me, and made me an even bigger supporter of Barack Obama. However, double speak like like this drives me up a wall, especially when it is something I am passionate about and an issue that I do not think a candidate should be allowed to have both ways. I think she should be called out on this and someone should demand where she stand on this issue. I feel this is especially true since she wants to be Governor of California and this is an important issue for the state. I really hope people hold her feet to the fire and call her out on this.
