I am looking for some sign that Kerry actually has a perspective that he
believes and and works to sell it.  As opposed to going with the majority.
Leaders help show their constituents a new and better way of moving forward.
They are out ahead, pulling everyone along with them, not being pushed.

  Uh...that sounds like you aren't advocating for the representative
  government that we should have and instead want to edge towards a
  totalitarian one.

  I'm guessing that's not what you're actually advocating, but there is
  something to be said for an exec that listens to what people want.
