"Suicidal" Political Speeches That Aren’t

Sick of endless
political spin? Oregon writer Jeff Golden is, too. He makes the
case that politicians need to treat voters like adults and tell us
the difficult truth, even if it’s not what we want to hear.
And he argues for a self-interest-based politics that actually does
serve our interests: What if we started making decisions on
national security, energy, health care and other issues based not
on our immediate wants but on what’s best for the "Third
Generation," our children’s children?
