How Did Robert Menendez Influence Politics
Senator Robert Menendez is an astute political player who knows how to pitch his tent in the right places so as to gather sympathy, love and support from the electorate. This is evident in his interest and position on hot national topics like Gay marriage right issues, immigration issues and foreign policy issues. His supporters believe that he would most likely to sponsor more bills in this area if reelected, one reason why they are ever so willing to vote for him against anyone else. The people are also very familiar with him and how he represents him hence the ‘devil you know’ sentiment might be a strong factor here.
He has also been on the political scene for a very long time and knows exactly how to tweak things in his favor politically.

On Tuesday 12-2-10 Rubio finished off Florida’s governor to become the state’s U.S. senator.

    Larson writes “They could write like angels and scheme like demons” (pg. 1). Two men who were once such great friends had no remorse when turning their backs on each other and doing everything in their power to make sure the other would not succeed in the election of 1800. Scheming took over the election and I’m left to wonder, towards the end of the campaign, how much of their time was spent working towards bettering the nation and how much was spent planning their next big attack on their fellow candidate. This quote truly made me realize that our politicians today aren’t so different from the highly esteemed men who created this country.…

    Good politicians get to know a lot of politicians. Lyndon Johnson would take four showers a day and brush his teeth over and over again so he would be in the same room with a bunch of politicians and he could talk to them briefly and make good connections. Lyndon Johnson also hired a man who would later turn corrupt named "Bobby" Baker who answered phones for the White House cloak room (a cloak room is like the break room for politicians.) With Bobby Baker, Johnson was able to know the inner workings of politics. Ronald Reagan also worked very hard to have good relationships in politics although he talked about Washington as if he'd never visited the place.…

    Fidel Castro Influence

    • 9 Pages

    Looking back at the history of Cuba, there was a time when the country was quite prosperous. This was before Fidel Castro came into power. During the Batista government regime, Cuba had a strong economy and exported many goods. However, Castro started a rebellion and fought against the Batista and soon took over. Now, when people hear about Fidel Castro, they think about the negative aspects of his government regime: oppression, extreme socialist views, lack of food and other necessities for living, and the removal of people who went against his views. This paper aims to show that regardless of the negative policies Castro had in place, he played an important role in the arts for Cuba. His financial support of Alicia Alonso and her company, helped to foster an environment for people to learn about and build an appreciation for ballet and its contributions.…

    Rafael Cruz once said, “Only in America can someone start with nothing and achieve the American Dream. That's the greatness of this country.” The American Dream was and still is a goal of many people today.

    Masculinity and Politics

    • 3283 Words
    • 14 Pages

    The political structure of the United States has been tainted by exclusion of women because of their lack of masculine qualities that voters lust for in a leader. From the beginning of American culture, like in most cultures, men played the dominant role and were accepted as the governing gender. Until women’s suffrage in the United States in the early twentieth century, they were perceived as being inferior in the testosterone driven society. With the rise in women rights as well as gay rights after the defeat in Vietnam, the definition of masculinity was rattled and became revolutionized in a “remasculinization” phase in the 70s and 80s (Messner 461). It was an era when American society revamped what a real man should be. With this drastic transformation, a new “hegemonic masculinity” or alpha persona that all men supposedly strive to become was created (Messner 461). The new image that evolved was magnified in by the entertainment business, especially in Hollywood. With the ex-action movie star, Arnold Schwarzenegger, in his current elected position, the effectiveness of masculine traits has been solidified as successful strategic campaigning. The effectiveness of using certain masculine traits in campaign could be increasing or decreasing with the current issues that face America especially since the country is involved in two wars. By using these gender selective attributes, it could give male candidates another tool to use against their female or, in some cases, other male opponents in various political campaigns in the United States. The result of this inequality is clear the discrimination seen in the ratio of men to women on the national level. Male candidate’s success at using masculinity in their campaign has affected the outcome of elections; and therefore influenced American history as well as the present and future. Masculinity has had a huge role on the political structure in the United States, even though its definition has changed with the shift in…
