"Hello, my name is x, and I am running to be your elected x.

I want to be x, because as Henry Kissinger said, power is the ultimate aphrodisiac. I want power, and to keep and maintain it I recognize that I need to demonstrate my capability to eliminate my competition. To do that in a guaranteed way requires me to deliver more efficient service expected of my office than anyone else. For me, the simple rule is that if I do a good job, if I deliver good services, the more powerful I become and the harder it is for anyone to challenge me. If I don't, I am just like any other politician.

In order to deliver good service, I recognize that I first need to identify the most efficient solution given my practical limitations, and then identify the means to reach that outcome. To identify those means, I have to rely on experience - to stick to observations and the facts. In other words, I am a pragmatist, and will aim for the outcome that delivers the best service, and I will reach that destination with the minimum possible resources - whether that is diplomacy or calculated strategic maneuvers.

If you want your fake, hearty idealist, then don't vote for me. But if you want results, then I am your man.

Vote for x. Vote for results."

PS: x is a variable, and we are assuming that the office of x is a high political office.

I am wondering because though no politician says something like this, I have noticed that people sometimes respond favorably to others when they declare their selfish intentions unapologetically. And also, there is a rationale behind providing good service as a way to become more powerful. It is kind of like a business. A business that is more efficient than its competitors can eliminate them and be more profitable.
