A politician is one who makes all the right noises

A politician is one who aims to make all the right noises

A politician is one who hopes to make all the right noises

A politician is one who tries to make all the right noises  

A politician is one who controls what are all the right noises

A politician is one who aims to control what are all the right noises

A politician is one who tries to control what are all the right noises

A politician is one who hopes to control what are all the right noises  

A politician is one who’s control requires all the right noises

A politician is one who’s control makes all the right noises

A politician is one who’s control aims at all the right noises

A politician is one who’s control tries for all the right noises

A politician is one who’s control hopes for all the right noises  

A politician is one who needs to find all the right noises

A politician is one who depends on finding all the right noises

A politician is one who clings to a need for all the right noises  

A politician is one who is obligated to all the right noises

A politician is one who is tied to all the right noises

A politician is one who has to stay with all the right noises  

A politician is one who’s sine qua non is to stay with all the right noises

A politician is one who fails for not having made all the right noises

A politician is one who has to make all the right noises  

A politician is one who cannot but make all the right noises

A politician is one who would fail because of having lost control of all the right noises

A politician is one whose power rests wholly on continual success in making all the right noises  

A politician is one whose power subsists in being able to control all the right noises

Yet all the right noises are the operative powers which control a politician
