I've thought about going into politics a time or two. Then I think about how your opponents love to dig up every little thing you said in your life, 20 or 30 years ago, or more, every wrong or poor decision you ever made, and turn it against you, ignoring context, never taking into account that you may have learned from your mistakes or that over time and a bit of maturing you've changed your views on certain issues.
Conclusion: one has to be a bit masochistic to go into politics.
