Politicians

Why do our electoral candidates claim that being a politician is such a bad thing? Isn't this what they are trying to become? An elected official is a politician whose duties include: determining who and how much to tax, determining how and to whom those funds are spent, and passing laws for the protection of the population. Because he/she is an elected official they will likely want to do the will of their electorate and that will frequently mean changing their minds. With this in mind, why would we vote for someone that accuses their opponent of taxing, spending, and waffling, when that is why we pay them?
